Yaya Toure wins Glo-CAF African Player of the Year 2014

Cote d'Ivoire's Yaya Toure beat Nigeria's Vincent Enyeama and Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to win the 2014 African Player of the Year. The fourth time he will win it - 4 years in a roll. Congrats to him but I think Enyeama should have won.

    Enyeama should have won on what basis? because he's your compatriot? Lol. Linda, it was clearly, clearly Yaya Toure. His perfomance this year was better than the others. He scored fabulous goals,splashed in wicked free kicks, gave uncountable assists which helped his team to win the [remier league. I admit his world cup outing wasn't great (gervinho even played better than him in the ivorian squad in brasil) but general perfomance, pants down Yaya

    Yaya is a great player no doubt but considering their individual achievement for 2014 which was what this award was supposed to be based on Enyeama did better than Yaya both at national team sides and club sides...... Enyeama won the best Africa player in French league and later won the overall best player in the French league for 2014....... well maybe other things that we don't know are also put into consideration but sentiment apart I think Enyeama should have won the award not Yaya!

    Linda, you're right. Enyeama should have won. He nearly beat the record for the longest period without conceding a goal in France. It is just that keepers are not rated, otherwise his record is as good as almost beating the highest goal scorer record of strikers. He was even voted the best keeper in France for the second successive season..
