Winners and Come Back Kings

Yaya the king of Africa as Ronaldo rules the world.

Welcome to the new year when expectations are very high and when we plan how to achieve more than we achieved in the past...For footballers it’s a winner takes all time especially when it comes to awarding the best of the best...

Days before the CAF award, I got to know that it will be held in Lagos which suggests that the winner should be MIKEL OBI...well that is according to some very biased Nigerians......I couldn't believed the argument that Mikel is a better player and won more trophies than Yaya Toure.....Yes he won more trophies than Toure in the past year but I can never be convinced that Mikel is a better player than Toure unless Toure retires when  Mikel is still playing and that leads me to  Drogba......Double D as he is fondly called by Chelsea fans was once a great in Africa but to finish 3rd in the CAF awards speaks poor of African football.....we need top players to emerge A.S.A.P from Africa o....lest I forget Congrats to YAYA TOURE and also to C. RONALDO who beat Messi and Frank Ribery to be named the best player in the world on Monday while FIFA pro XI proves once again how stupid the voters are....more on that later on.

Mr Champions League

As the only player to have won the champions League with three different clubs, Clarence Seedorf is a name well known to football fans. Some 20years back, he never imagined he could be on the verge of becoming the next Milan boss but fast forward two decades later and a stunning playing career, Seedorf is about to enter the Managerial hot seat... This however hasn't gone down well with some top names and managers who believe that his lack of experience of coaching any level of football will see him struggle at Milan. A good horse doesn't always make a good jockey it seems - former players like Maradona, Shearer, Paul Ince, Ruud Gullit- can testify but Seedorf seems to have an advantage of having a flawless reputation when he was at Milan though there is no guarantee that Seedorf will become a success as an appointment of an unproven and inexperienced coach always remain a risk. So its now up to him to show that a good horse can turn out to be a good jockey....Sir Ferguson proved it whispers a Man united fan.

Forgotten Man

Arsenal's midfield has been superb so far this season with the likes of Ramsey, Cazorla and Ozil dictating the play. However, there is one man everyone has forgotten about and that man is Abou Diaby. But this time, to get him fit for the second part of the season the Arsenal medical staff have pulled out all the stops by literally wrappiing him up in cotton wool (well bubble wrap). With Arsene Wenger being renowned for his innovative ideas, many of which have changed English football forever, it’s only a matter of time before it catches on...I just hope they have enough bubble wrap for Andy Carroll......
