This topic is interesting.

I would have said Drogba outrightly in the light of recent events but if we were to judge it based on the whole season, Toure wins it by a mile.

Toure has been consistent, a key figure and very reliable throughout the season and one can easily see why City missed him during the CAN. Even when they got a replacement (Pizarro) his absence was still glaring. His versatility in midfield is every coach's dream and he gives you 120% everyday all day, & dont forget he can play as a defender too (yes, I know Drogba partially can).

Drogba on the other hand was inconsistent and only delivered the goods at the end of the season in the key games of the cup finals.

It might be a close call, but Toure should win cos as the award isnt based on a couple of games but over the whole season.

I rest my case.

timbros: Drogba lifted the FA cup and Champions League, Yaya Toure lifted the English Premier League.
.
Drogba scored in the semi-final and final of both trophies he lifted, Yaya Toure scored crucial goals in the premiership run in...
.
In short, both players were instrumental in their clubs lifting those trophies.
.
This got me thinking, WHO SHOULD BE CROWNED AFRICAN FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR?
.
Please comment and vote...

doublecross: be4 anyone comments on this....a whole lot needs to be considered. first of all, God has written chelseas name on the champions league trophy..but we all know they dont deserve it at all from the way they play. they are just representing the champions but are not the champions. Yaya Toure plays Good football and deserves the title(african best). Drogba on the other hand can not play good football...i admit the fact that he scores goals but u just cant compare him to yaya toure who happens to be the engineroom of manchester city.

ZUBY77: I would give it to Yaya Toure.
I am a Man United fan and should naturally hate Mancity players more than Chelsea players but Yaya was the Engine room of Mancity throughout the season. Drogba struggled all through the season under AVB. He just managed to perform well in a bus packing three or four games. Now you cant base everything on that.

niyitogun: I am a chelsea fan but I think the award should go to yaya toure...he's been more consistent and played more matches than drogba...currently the best box to box midfielder in my opinion.
Drogba's awesome bt has his moments when he's unbelievable...bt consistency makes me give it to yaya

milehigh06:
did toure not play during the ucl tpourney and fa cup?if he was that good they would have won UCL and FA cup

ZUBY77: This whole Drogba drogba underlines why we Africans are never considered good enough for anything.
I believe the criteria for African footballer of the year also involves what happens in African football. Now tell me what happened to those Zambian heros who defied every doubt to lift the nations cup, defeating the same drogba and toure in the finals?
How about John Utaka who also scored twice to hand Montpelier their first ever Ligue 1 title?
Is it because Premier league and Champions league are covered more than others?

I dont see any significant role Drogba played over TOURE. I believe this votes are purely based on sentimental line and not statistics. Mikel Obi was there at the finals of FA cup and CHAMPIONS League and he played more games than drogba this season. We must reason well before voting.

On point, U took dose words outta my mouth Bro!

jcross19: anyone that says chelsea don'tdeserve the cup is a bitch because 2009,in stamford we had more than enough chance to disgrace baca but denied the chance in dying seconds by incredible strike 4rm iniesta.nobody ever spoke of luck and denial of 4 clean,glaring and obvious penalties robbed by overebo no one says anything then back 2008 when terry missed the last penalty was that a luck to man u? Or what.hmmm does haters never blieve a team like Cfc can archieve that due to poor form of the mid season.joahn cruff,uli hoeness and any person from any part of the world that says chelsea never deserve it are crying foul because the team tip to win it, never near it.so,stop crying foul.nothing can stop drogba becoming african best.Drog has turn to legend in cfc.football is a game of chance,make use of the chance u have,only the incompitent will cry 4 luck.

Adexchelsea19: Is lik they only moan when it is about chelsea,we played dirty football,i wil t8k that over beautiful football if it guarantee success.All the haters should stop cryin bcs chelsea won the CL,we ve ben unlucky b4 and it wnt b a crime if we re lucky this time.Morinho aproach against this same team wen inter played them in 2010 is 2 sit back and hit them on counter attack,so y all this talk,chelsea re the champions of europe just t8k that or go hug a transformer!
