tbaba1234:Please let's not twist facts. Mikel had a better AFCON than Yaya but Yaya was clearly the better performer in the Epl. At the time, Yaya was top 5 world best midfielders. He was the only African who made the FIFA best that year. The argument was that the AFCON should be used to determine Africa's best in an AFCON year. But Aboutreka would have won 3 back to back Apty if winning the AFCON was the criteria. 5 Likes 1 Share |

g0tze: It has nothing to do with hate. I am not in any way tribal. I schooled in an FGC and slept in rooms for years with people of different tribes. That is why I can rep Shehu Abdullahi, Yahaya, Samson Siasia, Iheanacho, Ndidi Alampasu etc. You are just being sentimental and do not want any view contrary to your opinion. That is not my fault. Most posts were excerpts, not my words. Very few words from me. So, I can not be tagged a hater to where I have roots from. Gerrit? 3 Likes |

goldfish80: Mikel had just played an important role in Chelsea's Europa League triumph and won AFCON as Nigeria's best player. Toure had a trophyless season with City and was bundled out by Mikel's Nigeria. Toure won that trophy on past achievements not that season. Ofcourse, you can say Toure is a better player but for that year, Mikel edged him. 8 Likes |

tbaba1234: The truth is that these awards are popularity contests. The more marketable player will always win. That is why goal scorers have an edge with these individual awards. Mikel may have won the the Europa and AFCON but he scored zero goals that season. If he wasn't in the shadows at Chelsea, he would have been more marketable and individual awards would have followed. The only individual award Mikel won in his career was at the youth level. To buttress my point about that trophies alone isn't enough to make a player win awards, look at the case of Adebayo, who was trophyless for Arsenal and Togo the year he won the APTY. BUT he scored 33 goals for Arsenal that season. They didn't even come second,they came 4th in the league. At the world stage, I will remind you about Sneijder in 2010, when he won everything winnable in Europe, including the champions league and played upto the world cup finals with Netherlands but he still lost the diadem to Messi. 2 Likes |

maidaboi:Bros abeg forget that sentimental talk. Jay Jay Okocha won this BBC award back to back ahead of Samuel Eto fils,but Eto usually won the Apty. Let's not throw our toys from the pram because the voting didn't favour us. By the way, who says Nigeria don't vote their own? Do you know how many awards Nigerian musicians have won due to the sheer voting power of Nigerians? Even in reality TV shows, Nigerians have dominated Africa with our numbers advantage. Salah deserves this award, no matter how anybody feels about it. Mo will get my vote every day of the week. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Fringe super Eagles forward and Leicester U23 star, Ahmed Musa put in a full shift today as his youth side came from behind to beat their Everton counterparts 2-1 in the premier League two which is equivalent of Spanish/German regional leagues as it is a developmental league unlike the championship, league 1&2. 1 Like |

One comment on Oliseh-Enyeama. Big players have egos. Part of man management sometimes is managing those egos. Ofcourse, Oliseh had the final decision to drop Enyeama as his captain but it should have been done in a better way. Enyeama should have been informed. He however owes Enyeama no explanation for dropping him to the bench regardless of how long Enyeama has served. Both parties had faults. I believe Rohr has done a better job so far of managing the egos on his team. The only player who has complained publicly so far is Igiebor. 1 Like 1 Share |

Joel obi was a 75mins sub as his Torino side beat Lazio in Rome. Obi has a 6.0 rating Lazio 1-3 Torino. Kayode not in match day squad as his Liga side Girona secured a vital three points away from home. Español 0-1 Girona Awaziem conspicuously missing from the match day squad as his Nantes side succumbs to OGC Nice. He initially made the starting lineup but was later dropped after picking a late injury during warm-ups before match. Nantes 1-2 Nice Etebo was the worst outfield player for his side, with a rating 5.9, as they lost away from home at Guimares. He played as the second striker. His compatriot (alampasu) at the Portuguese team, once again didn't make the match day squad. Guimares 1-0 feirense 1 Like 1 Share |

A moniker told me It should be based on 16/17 season. But hey rules don’t apply when people vote. I think Moses was the better player in 16/17 season. In fact I voted for him for that reason. But hey Mo has been firing all cylinders even after the shortlist was announced. That will surely sway some voters. I think Salah is the better player for this calendar year. And to your point we are actually the most biased and sentimental. I strongly feel Mo won beacaiae Egyptians (football fans or not) voted for him overwhelmingly. He is revered in that country. maidaboi: |

Both, until we have a GREAT bench. We are going against teams with great depth. We cannot afford to lose big teams because of our poor bench anymore. No stone should be left unturned. Modified Like I would always say, apples and oranges. Looking for reinforcement will not hinder your trying to get the best out of your players. elunico: |
