COMPAQ:


Mikel is not serious. He was not robbed of anything. How did he expect to win, a player who scores no goals, compared to Yaya Toure that was almost City's top scorer that season. That was the season where almost every time Yaya steps up to take a free kick, na goal.

No doubt Mikel was superb that season, but Yaya was also immense that period. The clincher was that Yaya was scoring for fun. Bottom line, football is about scoring goals.

And are you really about to argue with Eto and Drogba being the best at the peak of their powers?

Anyway Nigeria can win this year if Osimhen keeps scoring and Napoli wins the Scudetto!
Winning the Scudetto is not enough. He and Napoli have to also perform credibly well in UCL and if possible go farther than PSG's Hakimi.

Am waiting how they want to robe osimhen again

Sadio mane is injured and out

Mohammed Salah under performing

Nigerians can be blinded by patriotism. 2023 is just February so we still have 10 months to play for.
For 2022 osimeh was certainly not the best 🤣😂

Why are Nigerians like this. Robbed indeed. Wasn't Isa hayatto the CAF president when Nigerians was winning it for fun in the 90's.
Shame on Nigerians always blinded by patriotism

That Kanoute own was terrible

U re Ignorant in Football. sad

Kanoute was KING of Sevilla and scoring goals in La Liga and Uefa Cup, winning it in 2007!

Kanoute Fully deserved his Award! smiley

Let's be honest.. Mikrl was not Robbed... The fact that he even made the list was due to others effort

Mikel winning would have been the fraud

Mikel should stop ranting; Mikel was an average footballer. He used to play well when he was at Lyn Islo and played against Messi in the 2005 FIFA tournament. However, Jose Mourinho murdered his career when he joined Chelsea.

So, he was an average player and was still rated with Messi?
Was his is fault when he joined Chelsea? Was his is fault to play under Mourinho?

Kpele. I remember how you snubbed our down-to-earth 2baba in the UK back then. Today he's more relevant in the history of African music than you are in the history of African football.
Life happens.

To be fair, Mikel is not really an exciting player like that to be winning APOTY. No goals or assist as a midfielder etc. Yaya scored 24 goals that season.

But make una no worry. Osimhen is here to win us 3 back to back to back APOTY.

So defensive midfielders, or defenders shouldn’t ever win that award because they’re not scoring goals?

Indomie generation, at least learn to use Google

Drogba didn't come for the event, so caf gave the award to Kanoute.

Drogba, who won the award last year, told the French sports daily L'Equipe that he had received a call from a “prominent CAF official telling me that if I did not come to the ceremony, the rules would be changed and the award would be given to the second-placed player, meaning Kanoute

See dis Guy! sad cheesy

When I start Watch Football, u were still a Baby!

Kanoute Deserved the Award MORE than Drogba!

Kanoute won the UEFA Cup with Sevilla in 2006/2007.
Drogba won only Carling and FA cup in that season.
So He was Better!

Drogba is Telling Tales, Just like Mikel Obi now. undecided

Don't Try Argue something like European Football with Me, Ok?

To believe you were rated alongside Messi is a wonder grin
Enough of these rubbish
Mikel had a wonderful career in which more than half of that his generation could only dream

The majority of Coaches and captains of the whole African teams said otherwise with their vote cast.


We’ve seen how Ronaldo won Balon’dor in 2013 after ending the season trophy less against Franck Riberry who won every trophy and European best player before the event. Politics is not new in football.

Mourinho indeed

Was Mourinho also responsible for his lack of goals in the national team as no 10. Even at U20, how many goals did he score

Mourinho cemented it.
