Yaya Toure was way better than Mikel in his prime. Mikel had a good Nations cup that year but there was nothing extra in his performance at Chelsea during the period

People left d stage becos the ceremony was in Abuja, Nigeria.

Yaya Toure was too good to come second to Mikel.

I like Mikel too but I remember that year. I was nt surprise that Toure won it.

Where do you compare Mikel to Yaya Toure, Freekick, attack, defence, assist?

Yaya Toure could play as no. 4, 5, 6, 8, 10!

Please there was no basis for comparison.

There has always been politics in African football, but Yaya deserved it.

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.
Dude forget that thing, Mikel is good and Mourinho made him one of the best central defense to replace aged makalele.
If am lying ask Paul schole.

Squad player who never improved. Yaya started as a DM but added offensive skills to his game. Making surging runs, added free kick to his game. While you remained a lazy backpasser. Abeg STFU

Sometimes your Outstanding individual performances/Contribution/ACHIEVEMENT count,

Mikel was a good player with no goals or assist to his name to boost his chances although he was lucky to be in a trophy winning teams like Chelsea and Nigeria

Can you say the same for Chelsea kante?

Mikel how many assist and goals did you score in that 2013?

So if Maguire wins world Cup, champions league and Premier league without any significant contributions, they will give him world best?

All these trophy based awards are useless.


Mikel was the highest Assistor in that Afcon 2013 tournament.

He was a top performer in champions league final the year before.
Had 9 rating in the 2013 Europa league final against Benfica as well.
People were shocked when Toure was announced in Lagos. It was very shocking!!

I was really disappointed in the Issa Hayatou CAF administration, dude was corruption personified and made sure Francophone speaking players goes home with the awards.

Eto'O
Drogba,
Yaya Toure
Adebayor

And a certain Kanouté


2013, a blistering season for Mikel, but he was robbed by CAF.

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!

Taya Toure is miles ahead of Mikel.

Mikel winning an African best should be a disgrace to our continent in the football world.

I'm Igbo, and I'm also a die hard Chelsea fan.
