opinions4u Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yaya thinks so. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27074317 The article also mentions Eto'o and Drogba. For me, the three of them have all been singled out as top players when at their peak. So I'm not sure I agree with the point he's making. None of the names mentioned are in the same calibre as Messi or Ronaldo in my opinion. Do players get overlooked because they're black or African? I'm not so sure.

4froale Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I'm sorry but I think that's absolute bollocks, yaya toure is recognised as one of if not the best central midfielders in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Perhaps it would help if everyone bowed down and felt humbled by the presence on the pitch, of King YaYa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilStarbucksSilkySkills Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Perhaps he's gunning for Sol Campbell's current job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 From what I've read neither Toure nor Nasri said anything about black players not getting the recognition they deserve, only African players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toure gets plenty of recognition and rightly so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Toure is better than Gerrard for example but less hyped, but I think that is more how much we over rate English players. Wasn't George Weah world footballer of the year several times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) More recognition than the £150,000 he'll be on a week? No, I don't think he deserves more recognition. But he can feel free to go back and live in a shanty in the Ivory Coast if he feels he's being hard done by.

yarddog73 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Another one playing the race card it bores me to tears, treated like a king worshipped by the fans best paid player in the PL what does he want a knighthood ? He doesnt get the same recognition as ronaldo or messi because guess what they are better than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scratch2000uk Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Toure is top class but is he better than the likes of Ronaldo. Messi, no way. Another nonsense story from the Barmy Broadcasting Corporation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
