okito: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. medjai: U and many others countering Okito have said my mind. . . Caf can't be faulted on d choice of Eto'o at all |

medjai: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 |

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 |

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?: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 |
No surprise,Eto'o is crowned king of african football again.No Nigerian nominated in the male category |
Re: Glo-caf Awards: Eto'o Is African Footballer Of The Year by tunde247: 9:18am On Dec 25, 2010 |
nice one |
Re: Glo-caf Awards: Eto'o Is African Footballer Of The Year by sirp2007: 7:03pm On Dec 26, 2010 |
its a pity Gyan could be compared 2 King Samuel Eto Fils d 'ototal'of Africa football.jus like some were comparing Rooney with Messi, in due season we shall knw if gyan is even an average player. Eto carry go, wht u did in spain u re replicating in ltaly, a true great U re |
Re: Glo-caf Awards: Eto'o Is African Footballer Of The Year by Nobody: 6:59am On Dec 27, 2010 |
if only eto'o was a brazilian. He would have won like two world players of the year. He is top 3 greatest goal poachers d game has seen this decade. 4get messi, dis guy is d man. |
Re: Glo-caf Awards: Eto'o Is African Footballer Of The Year by Jarus(m): 3:43pm On Dec 27, 2010 |
Darthmaul: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. |
