An African player has to lead his country in a dynamic fashion to the final four of the World Cup along with an excellent performance with his club to have a chance. No player from Africa accomplished this. Yaya Toure could have done it but as usual, he did not do much for Cote D'Ivoire so let us wait until 2018 and see who can make a statement.

I think the writer is saying that he should've been nominated, not "he will win." Toure is nominated, but I don't think he can win.

I think the writer is saying that he should've been nominated, not "he will win." Toure is nominated, but I don't think he can win.
But Gyan is still better off than all of us in this forum. If he plays in Europe and gets nominated, how much will they pay him? Think of the pay, guys.
If you get a quarter of his pay, your wahala go end. Think about it!

Note: This is not a direct response to Anokwale; it is meant for all the forum.

When he retires, what? He will still pay all your families.
You guys want this guy to leave big money and go to fuck up somewhere so that you laugh at him.
It will finish on you!

Scoring goals in the Gulf region dont make u a candidate for world recognition..Then even a normal goal scorer in europe will be 'goal kaiser'''

So who on the 23 man shortlist can Gyan or should Gyan be compared to? Cristiano Ronaldo? Arjen Robben? Iniesta?
This is not about supporting your fellow black man o, this is reality. There are great talents from.the Dutch league talk of Graziano Pelle who like Gyan shattered records and he's now at Southampton and he's still scoring. Should he be called up too?
Some leagues are better, some people are better and the earlier you accept it, the better. Currently Gyan no matter what, is not better than any of those shortlisted. Just unfortunate.

Playing in the UAE will not get u the kind of recognition u want in soccer, u go there when u r about to retire...He chose the easy way out simple. It doesn't matter how many goals he scores over there!!

Is this for real or a joke? How many people even heard of the laegue Gyan plays let alone the name of his club.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE quit joking.

Its been said all along that if Gyan wanted to be considered among the best he has to play in Europe. There were many that agreed with him that it should be more about the money than proving to be the best. Every football love knows there was n way Gyan will be considered for big honors playing in a 3rd class league. He should enjoy his money and forget about glory in the game. CIAO

Fifa has selected the best African footballer for 2014 and his name is yayah toure. It is this same Yayah Toure that will emerge as African footballer of the year. I hope you chaps will not start abusing CAF next year when Gyan is not named as African footballer of the year? You see, most Africans show emotions when their country men are not given awards. My avice is this : take a look back and see the talents in excellent past African Great footballers like Abedi Ayew, Weah, Kanu Nwakwo, Roger milla etc and compare them with those we are always clamouring for to win awards: you would see that they are not in the same category like the African footballers of the past. Abedi/weah/milla on his home cannot walk freely on the streets of Lagos; their fans would 'mob' them: they are even more adored outside their shores. Gyan does not deserve to be on the FIFA list: the only Africa that is deserving is Yaya Toure who will win the next African footballer of the year award for the 4th consecutive year.
