I almost had a complaint about the merit immediately after the announcement, because Toure is the heartbeat of City or the EPL.
But after careful thoughts, I realized football is about goals. Aubemeyang has been, and still is, a goal machine in European football!

dede didnt hve a chance. scoring goals alone is not enuff, but how you score them. this is wat distinguishes regular players from superstars. if dede wants to be a superstar. he must ELEVATE his game

If football is about goals then why hasn't Djan been awarded? there no player in Africa that scored goals than Djan even in the world competition/world cup, not even Roger Miler is a match with Djan when it comes to goals in the world cup, yet the Francophone denied him the title. Even yesterday Sunday Elese of Nigeria complained about this Francophone manipulations.

Watching the show last night:the presenters,the music and the awards served to confirm not only the poor state of Ghana soccer but the general downward trend of affairs in Ghana.
Juliet was stunning in her beautiful dress but was completely out performed by the SA presenter.Kwasi Nyantakyi was like a lost sheep not sure of what to do when ever called to join others in presenting awards.And where were our musicians?Not a single act from Ghana.Does that not confirm that our musicians remain local artist? Coming to the awards themselves.It looked like Ghana has suddenly vanished from the soccer map of Africa.Out of the many awards Ghana, a so-called power house of African soccer were conspicuous by our absence.We were nominated only thrice.Our phenomenal youth soccer did not feature any where.Well CK Gyamfi got something but for us but it is obvious that was Ghana soccer then rather than now and the future.At the end I thought we would score a "consolation goal" from
Andre Ayew but it was not meant to be.
It is so painful.We need to wake up.THE BLACK STAR MUST SHINE AGAIN!!!

You are right, this francophone countries are so bias and are always voting for people of francophone decent. I think the English-speaking countries should also organise their own awards.

Every body is happy that Pierre won it, but honestly speaking when we look at the year under review he doesn't come closer to Dede and Yaya.
Afcon:
Aubame- one goal
Yaya-winner and captain
Dede- joint top scorer and runners up
Qualifiers:
All at par
Club football
Aubame: Excelling(18goals in 17)
Dede:6goals in 19
Yaya:5goals in 19
Since it is African player of the year, should not the emphasis be what you did in a major event organized by CAF?
Unfortunately CAF, Coaches and Captains in Africa has no respect for our own Afcon, hence no matter what you do, it is in abeyance. This award should rather be called European club player of the year. History tells us that is what it is? Africa, where did we go wrong?

How come a player who couldn't play in the Afcon, a major event organised by Caf, won this Caf award? I thought the Afcon of which Dede performed well in it, is Caf's most important event in the continent. How come a player who couldn't perform in it won the Caf award? This can let African footballers look down on the Afcon and do little with no commitment but rather regard more the European clubs and do more with more commitments there because their performance there can determine their chances of winning the Caf best player award which to me is not fair to the African continent.

Great points.
Unfortunately, CAF has always placed greater weight on Africa's players abroad.

They really need to change the parameters.

If they don't, then our analyses and conclusions, unfortunately, have to continue to follow their criteria.

African leaders at every level, generally speaking, tend to resist change.

"This award should rather be called AFRICA'S European club player of the year", or "European club player of the year from AFRICA", not "CAF player of the year".

First and foremost, I quietly agree with the CAF that is high time Africans should have their NOMINATIONS both in UEFA & FIFA world best. Now that they have breaken the category into HOME BASE & FOREIGN BASE players. ANNUANOM SORRY TO SAY, when was the last time that at the end of the first round of any EUROPEAN LEAGUE (having played 19 matches)An African player scored 18 Goals? This Gabon player was second last year.The second OPPONG WEAH in the 21st century coming.
