barcanista: I wonder how some people reason. Sentiment apart, Yaya deserve it. In fact, Mikel and Drogba shouldn't even be among the TOP contenders. Emenike and Jonathan Petropia should have been there instead.

People say Mikel won the Europa, we all know Europa is LOSERs Cup for Champions League drop-outs. Beside Mikel wasn't instrumental, he played from d bench or second fiddle.

AFCON? Damn it. Emenike was Nigeria's Key man along with Moses in that competition. In fact, Bance was better than Mikel in the AFCON games.

Its like giving Pinto best goalie becos he has been winning trophies with FcB(from bench).

Finally, Congrat to Toure, A worthy Barca product. I wish him the best.









Next is MESSI to be crowned WORLD BEST

Gguy4real: Yaya toure deserve it also mikel deserve it but is very painful that mikel didnt win the award but anyway mikel is to blame for it, i dont know why he was doing at the back anytime chelsea was playing match he no dey move forward to score the guy really disgrace me alot how can a player score just 3 goals in all his appearance in chelsea shirt i think he should leave the club and move somewhere else so that he can add more tally to his record maybe that time he will win the award

jotey: Yea..toure was better last year bt mikel was sucesful..if u were asked 2 choose btween good performance nd success which 1 wil u go for?mikel was beta..i prefer success than dat

omobajohn58: They both deserve the honour and moreover,it's by vote so even drogba can win provided d coaches like his style......2 be realistic i see no reason why some people said mikel does nt desrve it.....he doesn't have enuff playing tym in chelsea Nt an excuse....'cos apart 4rm yaya how many big name defensive mid fielder can u list in man city....in chelsea u have many....likes of lampard ramires even luiz et al........they said mikel is nt indispensable unlike yaya......but without mikel u will knw dat Nigeria's game lack dat free flow of ball......he dnt score goals? Why would he ...he is a defense minded player his slogan is 'safety first'...and since he perform quite alright i see no reason why we should take dat as a reasonable excuse..........since i've been watching a match involving mikel and yaya....even a blind man knws that mikel control d midfield nt yaya.........NIGERIAvs IVORY and chelsea vs man city.......i rest my case

If you look at all the football awards around the world, its the best performing player not the player from the best team. Some will say Okocha, well as good as he was, Eto was the best striker in the world far better than Henry or Van Nistelrooy.

So can someone tell me why Kanu won the title in 1999

jotey: Then y was okocha denied d award wen he deserved it

omar22:

So you will say Mikel is better than Steven Gerrard because he is more successful? Or Busquet is better than Alonso because he is more successful?

xp17: when would nigerians start putting sentiments aside and face and acept defeat in the spirirt of sportmanship? yes john obi mikel played , just like christana ronaldo, but they both got a stronger man right in front to stop them. well, not everybody is lucky enough. Though John Obi Mikel played better than Ayo kanute and Emanue adebayo when the duo won this dreaded award , but there wasn't a strong contender at the time. This remind me of when Samuel Eto was on top of the game , we all wanted Jay Jay Okacha to emerge the winner , but deep inside of us we all knew that Samuel Eto performance was exceptional that year and better than that of Jay Jay.

Tunisia won Nations Cup in 2004 (so should a Tunisian have won the player of the year?)

He (Eto) was the Captain of the small island team and he also in 2004 he Joined Barcelona he was on fire from the moment he walked in the door of the Catalan club, he won the award because of his performance

jotey: Mention one outstanding tunisian player durin dat tournament
