GYAN has been the most outstanding African player this year. I dont think Etoo was a fair choice, the hand of Issa Hayatou again.

Gyan was better than Etoo in CAN 2010 leading his young and inexperienced side all the way to the final before narrowly losing to the Egyptians. He even scored the goal that sent our own Eagles packing.

At the World cup, he yet again outshone Etoo. He was so good that his goals took his team to the quarter finals, though his penalty miss also saw them missing out on a chance to play in the semis; a feat which would have been an unprecedented one by any African side.

The young man moved to Sunderland in the summer and already he s setting the premiership on fire with his goals.

As an ardent Super Eagles fan, i have nt forgiven Gyan for scoring against us in the Nations' Cup semi final match(lol) but as a supporter of football, i submit that GYAN and not Etoo deserved to be named King of African football 2010.
Gyan doesn't even deserve to be in the running. Was there anything exceptional about Gyan's performance in the year under review? How many goals did he score for Rennes? How many goals did he score at the Nations Cup in Angola?
At the world cup, he scored two penalties and one goal and of course, he ballooned the chance to put Ghana's name in the history books of African football.
Is it with these average performances that he deserves to win the African Player of the Year?
In my opinion, Drogba had the best individual performance in the year under review. He played a very vital role in Chelsea's league and cup win. He was only second to Messi as highest goal scorer in all of Europe with 29 goals. He scored 37 goals in all competitions. He also scored a goal at the world cup despite playing through pains.
Yes, Eto'o won the treble but in my opinion, he wasn't so fantastic. He scored 18 goals in all competitions which is a poor return for someone like Eto'o

Eto' has been very consistent as a player ever since he was discovered.

Diego Milito was Inter's Main Striker(No 9) last season while Eto'o was used a wingforward.

Eto is the man, leaving Barca and still keeping up the consistent performance that has become the hallmark of his career makes him the best. He did well in the Nations cup, don't forget one tree can't make a forest. Been nominated alongside big names like Eto and Drogba is enough honour for Gyan
Re: Glo-caf Awards: Eto'o Is African Footballer Of The Year by newmi(m): 12:15am On Dec 22, 2010
Congratulation Eto, what a LEGENDARY story you have become. You have represented the African continent proudly on a consistent basis per performances so you deserve it. KUDOS
Re: Glo-caf Awards: Eto'o Is African Footballer Of The Year by newmi(m): 12:18am On Dec 22, 2010
Asamoah GYan should be patient he is on track with many playing years ahead of him. All he needs just like Eto'o is consistency in his top flight performances both at the national level and at the club level. Congrat Asamoah
Re: Glo-caf Awards: Eto'o Is African Footballer Of The Year by kcjazz(m): 2:29am On Dec 22, 2010
I respect Samuel Eto'o for his strong and persistent work ethic, he deserves his record breaking award. I wish other African athletes could learn from him. Congrats to him.

Becomrich?:

I disagree with the decision, Asamoah Gyan of Ghana  is the Africa footballer of 2010 in my book. Congratulation Asamoah Gyan of Ghana for been Becomrich africa football 2010.   

Asamoah Gyan of Ghana out perform Eto.  I think they should change the way they nominate this people. I think Eto should be a gentle man and hand over the award to Asamoah Gyan of Ghana . If I was Eto, that is what I would do.
Eto will do just that in your own book. I wonder why you are rooting for Gyan?
Maybe you can educate me more, but until then Eto remain african pride for the nxt one year!

Gyan's nomination is purely a sentimental one. Missing that penalty alone is enuff to wreck a european or south american but d standards in africa are pretty low so we console ourselves in underachievement.
Stop usin world cup cos statistically, eto had a better world cup. He scored 2goals in three games(I.e 66%) while gyan scored 3 in 5(60%). Gyan just had a better team period.
Thank God caf got it right- how can BBC give it to a player who missed a golden opportunity to make african history. He should be FINED!
Re: Glo-caf Awards: Eto'o Is African Footballer Of The Year by pkasso(m): 12:19pm On Dec 23, 2010

100% spot on, for the bolded. The only consistent striker since 2002. His peers in the business of goal-poaching at the time(Henry, RVN, Shevchenko) are now off-limelight.
But for the unbolded, hmmmnnnn, let's not stretch it too far. Messi cannot be dismissed with a wave of hand under any circumstance.
Re: Glo-caf Awards: Eto'o Is African Footballer Of The Year by otumfour(m): 9:35am On Dec 29, 2010
its all good, Gyan will rise
Re: Glo-caf Awards: Eto'o Is African Footballer Of The Year by Nobody: 10:36pm On Dec 30, 2010
@jarus, i know messi cannot be waved off just like dat,but i jst needed to bash him a little. smiley
