Aubameyang has scored 18 goals in 17 games and is in formidable form. Toure on the other hand barely plods on past the half way line.

I'm not sure why he thinks he deserves the award.

I don't understand what his point is.

I think he thinks he should've won because Ivory Coast won the African cup of nations. He's saying Africa doesn't care for its own football cos they've given the award to someone who plays for Gabon, who I assume were shit in the ACON.

Pretty piss poor reasoning tbh.

Do we reckon this has something to do with Aubameyang being French-born and having a Spanish mother?

Possibly. He claims it's because PEA was given the award for his achievements in European football not African but if that's the case surely someone from the Nigerian super league or something should win it?

Wonder how Ade feels? Probably throwing a strop somewhere.

Is there a player so successful who will be so unloved by fans when he retires? John Terry will have Chelsea knuckledraggers at least..

See his agent firing shots at Guardiola as well because he knows his man will likely be out on his arse when Pep shows up...

As if there wasn't already enough hardship and suffering in the world. Now I have to try to come to terms with this too.

He's being a complete numpty.
It's the same as the Asian player of the year, it's about the best player from that region, not how well a team performed in a one off tournament.

I really believe this is a dig at aubameyang's heritage.
