You are not francophone. No anglophone can win this france has already give order.They will give it to yaya or Aubameyang. Drogba cant win because he plays his football in turkie.The best choice is Yaya touré and Aubameyang the rest are backfoot. You play areb's league and turkie you can forget it.if you play in england,Germany,italy , spain then you can win.

CAF, just give it to Mohamed Aboutrika.
He is still the best African player never to have won it.

"The Smiling Assassin", I made strong cases for you here in 2006 and 2008.

You did not get it, but some of your believers, including me, will never forget your contribution to African football.

I've faithfully followed your exploits through Ahly and the Pharaohs since the 2006 CAN in your country.

I'm not happy that you've not taken any CAF Player of the Year title.

News is that you're retiring at Age 35 this year.

ALL THE BEST.
COME VISIT GHANA SOME TIME.
PEACE!

Drogba and Obi Mikel do not deserve to be on the list.What did they do in 2013 to merit being on the list?

true true. there are many Ghanaians in other countries including Nigeria and South Africa so this kwame should shut his mouth. Nigerians are our best friends in Africa, they are more like our brothers and sisters. Ghana and Nigeria alone bear all the brunt and hatred of France and francophone Africa. Please don't let us destroy the best relationship we have in this world. We compete fiercely against each other but it is a healthy competition, more like sibling rivalry. We love them and they love us. And that is the truth.

I agree,and well said bro.Any striker/ footballer can score 40 goels in this 3rd rate unknown Arab league where he plays.If Gyan was not playing for the black stars,nobody will know he is still playing football.

What you all should understand is that Asamoah Gyan is only doing what he knows best that is give him the ball unmarked and he ll score. He is not a mobility player taken on defenders and creating goals but his presence always posae a threat to opposition and if the chance cpomes he ll take it. In order for him to become a formidable striker he should practice holdinf the ball and penetratinf deep with some dribbling abilitiesa, wew aLL KNOWS THAT IS NOT HIS WAY OF PLAY.bUT HE CONTRIBUTES where necessary. Give him time and chance to practice into another level of soccer and he ll be alrighr.Naming him amongf the list is justified but not enough to claim the price he need to show more composure and hold the ball and open spaces for othersa to find a goal.

Your arrogance, your lack of humility and lack of work rate makes it difficult for others to vouch for you..........

Do take a leaf out of your coach - Kwesi Appiah; and I can assure you of laurels coming your way. Humility with substance will take you far. And please don't forget, rushing to take penalties and comparing yourself with the likes of Messi and the Ronaldos, should NEVER happen again in the coming world cup.

You are NOT there yet Asamoah.....money is not everything. God Bless you!

It is undisputable that Gyan is the best scorer in Ghana and had been a big factor in our three WC appearances.The fact that he now plays in a less prestigeous league is irrelevant as he, in spite of that, scores in big games for Ghana.It's a phenomenon to hear that some of his own countrymen just dislike him.This journalist,like many others cannot be a professional one to have quoted Gyan as saying that Gyan's solo effort is the root of BS success.We need to show maturity in reading and analysing.The fall of Drogba and Eto'o makes Gyan stand out as the best striker in Africa and one of the world's best strikers.The award is not for strikers but players, making it highly possible for JO Mikel to win it.But you enemies of Gyan must have a change of attitude towards him.
