Ahmed Mido knows football. Unlike some Chelsea miscreant fans who think Mikel is top 50 best footballer ever from Africa when he is not even top 100.

You pick only one part of my logic to justify your response. I said trophies won and contribution towards winning those trophies is how players are rated. Key word is AND meaning you cant take one and leave the other.

Again, Salah is greater than Okocha!

Lol. "And" is never a keyword, btw.

Based on this logic, again, Eto is bigger than DeLima (real) Ronaldo in club football. Eto won more trophies than Ronaldo. He has a champion's league. Ronaldo doesn't. Guess what? Eto played key roles to help his team win these titles.

But watching the both of them, you dare not say Eto is greater than Ronaldo outside. Ronaldo is ranked amongst the top ten greatest of all time. He was plainly more skillful and was more joy to watch.

Think through this and you'll see the incoherence of that argument. Trophies are won by teams. Individual players are watched by what they do on the pitch, irrespective of whether or not they win.

I'm not debating Okocha, Salah brouhaha here. They don't even have similar roles.

Ahmed Hossam Mido, the former star of the Egyptian national team, believes that the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool winger and Captain of the Egyptian National team, does not deserve to be among his short list of the best five players in the history of the African continent.

Salah and Mane are widely regarded as two of the world’s finest forwards at the moment and seemingly already have a place among the continent’s best in history.

Mido said through his official twitter account.

He is perfectly right

Neither Drogba nor Okocha should be there ahead of him.

For that matter, Mohammed Aboutrika.
How's Toure greater than Drogba?

Ximenez:

How's Toure greater than Drogba?

Toure was much more of an all rounder, who played centre back, centre mid, and strike.

He redefined what it meant to be a goal scoring midfielder.

He won major trophies in two major leagues plus the Champions league

He performed for country, winning the Afcon, which Drogba didn't do.

Drogba did just a few of these but the records are clear. He was never a prolific goal scorer across his career. He's not even, therefore, the best African striker. Toure is undoubtedly the best African midfielder of all time.

And if you still want to argue never forget that Toure was 4 time African player of the year which Drogba achieved only twice.

We are talking individual players, not teams.

Dani Alves has more trophies than Leo Messi, so is he better than Messi?

Even Aiyegbeni and Mikel have a better playing records in England than Okocha. I guess they are better than Okocha too?

What sentiments are you talking about?

Mido isn't Nigerian, West African or a black man for that matter.

Before Salah he was arguably the biggest Egyptian player to have played in the EPL.
Maybe you should tell him more about football.

Really?
Toure redefined what it meant to be a goal scoring midfielder with 62 goals.
Then i guess Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes and co were basketballers.

You've listed his achievements, but if i start listing Drogba's own, I'll end up typing too much.
Toure is good on his own, but attacking players will always have an edge during comaparisms and stats.
