Hello guys, What do you see of this thread? Can we have a monthly analysis of African footballers' performance at the end of every month and see who we can give the award. Let's start with August, last month, who do you think was Africa's best performer last month.I think this will be useful in arriving at a less-controvertible Africa POTY award. I expect nominations for August. To start the debate,I have been following EPL more than any other league and I can say Utaka,Benjani,Kanu,Diouf and Essien were wonderful.I have also read about Rangers' Daniel Cousin's performance in Scotland as Nigeria's Mennasseh Ishiaku in Bundesliga. Which African did wonders in other leagues(France and Spain in particular) in August.
AFRICA'S TOP 3--AUGUST 2007 1.F. KANOUTE--SEVILLA AND MALI He has started well this season.His hattrick against Real madrid and solid league performances inform my choice. 2.JOHN UTAKA--PORTSMOUTH AND NIGERIA He has not only scored 2 premiership goals but has also been outstanding in all league games he has played so far.Portsmouth's best performer in virtually all their matches played so far. 3.DANIEL COUSIN---RANGERS AND GABON Two goals in debut, another two goals the week after.End of discussion. Hon. Mentions: Martins,Kanu,Benjani,Muntari,Essien,Sissoko,Diouf
Not everyth are goals. Mahamadou Diarra has made a wonderful September in Real unbeaten start of the season. He is supporting the midfield so that Guti and Sneijder can play offensive.
