He was not robbed. Please, go to YouTube and watch Samuel Eto'o performance highlights in Barca during that time. paparazi1: 3 Likes |

EngineerBode: He was a great player. But in all the years he did not win, the players that won it did better. Eto’o performed better than him in those years. Hadj performed better in 1998. 3 Likes |

kolade560: Let’s not deceive ourselves guys. If he was on same level with these guys, he would play in Barcelona and Real Madrid like the players you mentioned. After all, Barca also saw him in same club with Dinho before choosing to sign Dinho instead of him or both of them. Look, these big teams also wanted to win trophies and don’t care if you are black or white if you are good enough to help them win trophies. Eto’o was also black. Barca saw him from a lowly Mallorca and signed him. JJ was very good but comparing him with Zidane, Dinho and De Lima is patriotism taken too far. 5 Likes |

Slawormir:This is exactly what I tell people but they end up attacking me. He was more of an entertainer than a footballer. He had no meaningful or impactful end product. He was just interested in entertaining the fans with meaningless skills and tricks. Stuffs like that can't take you anywhere, no wonder big clubs weren't really interested in him, nobody wanted a joker on the pitch, football is serious business. Neymar and ronaldinho are also great street jugglers and tricksters but when they step into the pitch, they put the real business first over entertaining. Okocha was the opposite. That's why I'd prefer to have a Yaya Toure in my midfield than having a player like Okocha. One will get the job done clean and neat, the other will just be there entertaining the fans and making a mockery of himself. It's one thing to read book it's another thing to pass exam. No be everybody wey read well dey pass. HeavenlyBang saajus Kiezodumah Glaswegian 6 Likes 1 Share |

eneye1: Excuse! Excuse! Same people chose Kanu over French speaking footballers twice. Same people chose Arab Salah over French speaking players. Let’s stop deceiving ourselves. Francophone African countries have always produced bigger footballers. Which Anglophone African footballer currently comes close to Sadio Mane, Kalidou Koulibaly, Aubameyang, Mahrez, Ziyech, Benacer, even Pepe. If they now win APOTY, you will say it is French conspiracy when we all watch same football and see the difference. Before them we had Drogba, Eto’o, Yaya Toure, etc all from French Africa. Is it the language they speak that got them to the level they attained or their footballing ability. We all watch them on TV. 6 Likes |

crossfm:This is where you people get it all wrong, There is a difference between entertainments and the real deal. Okocha was more of an entertainer. If you like dribble Kahn 20 times just because you wan score 1 goal, you no go still get recognition pass a lazy player wey score 20 tapins. 4 Likes |

NewDelhi:so what is Ronaldinho did on the pitch. Okocha don't win awards don't mean is not among the best. We all watched gaucho how he do laugh also, even if he missed ball. So if Ronaldinho don't win any award, u will say he did not play anything in football. 1 Like |

You are very wrong in your analysis. It is very sad to read this. I am very sure you were young when Okocha was playing football (or you know very little about football) Slawormir: |

This is another one. You are very wrong in your analysis. You said[b] no big club wanted Okocha[/b], lol....... you forgot that the same PSG that Neymar you mentioned played for actually bought Okocha for a record fee that was difficult to erase for many years in the world of football. Abeg, Okocha is a legend. Let's remove sentiments.... even your Ronaldinho admitted learning a few things from Okocha!! NewDelhi: |

HeavenlyBang:Okocha was actually inconsistent. Just a moment of dribbling magic after doing nothing in his previous games then Nigerians start going Gaga. His career was just good for YouTube highlights. Who would you prefer to have in your midfield between Yaya Toure and okocha? Okocha was the more skillful between the two but it doesn't make him a better and more efficient player than toure. 2 Likes |
