my top 3 would be

Samuel Eto'o. (by a mile)
Jay Jay
Kallon

is this Afircan markey a market that many top European clubs look past, i only tend to see African players for 'lesser' clubs in Europe

i reckon Milan should have a good look at the African market
there are some future stars there

FORZA MILAN :star:

Wooow....u guys forgot French Footballer of the Year Michael Essien. Stephen Appiah of Juve is good too but this just wasnt his yr. In the end i think Eto'o is still #1 but Michael Essien is second. Okocha is a has been. So is Kamara.

I agree but we have to look at the youth players that come from africa and are immigrated to another country like an adu etc. but definitly agree with your top 3

There isn't an African player that comes close to Eto'o,at least by his performances this season.

Pixie...nice to see ur back again. Anyways, havent seen Obi play but i still think you guys need to check out Essien. Chelsea is all over his ass ryt now but Lyon are not budging until they hear something North of 20 mil. Adu in my opinion is good but hasnt got "there" yet(i hope). Drogba plays amazing for his national team. Maybe thats because most of the plays end with him. My order as of now still stands.

Sam Eto'o
Michael Essien
Augustine "jay jay" Okocha
Steven Appiah(Watch his national team football)
Drogba(ditto)

P.s Pixie...did mikel obi play for nigeria in any competition yet?

:dance:

Eto'o is by far and away currently the best from that continent. I had a guy a few weeks ago give me his opinion on this same inquiry. When he said Mido I almost killed myself when I fell to the floor laughing.

Mikel obi just helped nigeria to d finals of the u-21 world cup, chelsea and mamutd r still dragging for the wonder boy,arrogant coach jose mourinho said the boy is pure gold,d new gerrad.To me obafemi martins is d best in africa bcos he plays in d best and toughest league in d world,while eto plays at d most entertaining league which is not too strong compared to serie A.martins performs better.

For me, no doubt ! Mickael Essien is the best !
Then come Eto'o but it's hard to say... but don't forget that he plays with Ronaldinho, Deco... it's not the cas of Essien.

About Drogba, I think he is over-estimated !!! He is good,ok but not the best.

Think you understood it wrong man!! It's the best AFRICAN player and by my guesses I always thought that Essien was a French dude and the rest like Ronaldinho are South Americans and with Drogba and Eto'o you're right cause Drogba is from Ivory Coast and that is Africa
