you think through your anus. Mikel was part of the team that won trophies and yaya was part of the team that didnt win any trophy. So who deserves it more?

Sagamite: Good! Worthy winner and well-deserved.

It would have been an absolute shame if Mikel won it.

The only downside now is the "record" praise-singers. Now in a few years time, you will get some silly idiot saying that because Yaya has won APoY 3 times, he is one of the 3 greatest players ever and better than George Weah, Drogba and Roger Milla.

The idiot would not think about conditions. In the last 3 years, African players have not been great. Only Yaya stands out.

Even on the planet, there aren't too many DM/CM better than Yaya Toure. Arturo Vidal and a handful of other players.

My Naija people, No be the same eye we dey take watch the premiership?, how do you expect Mikel to win over Toure?
I know you are used to abnormality and injustice, but some societies and organization still have common sense unlike some of you that an incompetent president like GEJ is adjudged to be performing because of atenuje.
Suck it up!

bro,it isn't about the trophies you win ,but your importance and contribution to the team you play for. Yaha is a very influential and consistent figure in man city team and also his national team. He carries a lot of responsibilty in those teams and his importance in them cannot be overlooked ,but in chelsea team mikel doesn't command the same type of respect that yaya commands .mikel can be on the bench for weeks and chelsea won't feel him ,not the same with yaya. I think the judges looked at the importance of these players to their respective teams before picking the winner but this doesn't mean that mikel isn't good enough. For the award

Fact: Mikel won trophies for both club and country last year, while Yaya Toure didn't anything..

If Yaya is such a great player, then why couldn't he help either his club or country to win trophies.

His club Man City lost to a relegation bound Wigan Athletic in the FA cup final and yet he is our player of the year

What's the criteria sef ?

And for those fools using goals scored ! Must a player score goals in order to be World Footballer ? Haven't you seen GoalKeeper and Defender winning the trophy before ?

Things like this won't stop happening in football.It's all about opinions of the voters, and by the way, can they make the criteria public so that we will all see whether we are just being sentimental.We are talking of FOOTBALLER here,not only goalscorer.If we continue this way,goalkeepers,defenders are doomed.As far as I am concerned MIKEL is my own footballer of the year.Period

xp17: when would nigerians start putting sentiments aside and face and acept defeat in the spirirt of sportmanship? yes john obi mikel played , just like christana ronaldo, but they both got a stronger man right in front to stop them. well, not everybody is lucky enough. Though John Obi Mikel played better than Ayo kanute and Emanue adebayo when the duo won this dreaded award , but there wasn't a strong contender at the time. This remind me of when Samuel Eto was on top of the game , we all wanted Jay Jay Okacha to emerge the winner , but deep inside of us we all knew that Samuel Eto performance was exceptional that year and better than that of Jay Jay.

I like how you used 'won' instead of 'help'.

And as you will see in a few days, the winner of the ballon d'or will probably be another player who didn't win anything. Or maybe by your logic, Mikel should should win ballon d'or instead of Ronaldo.
