One of these is not like the others.

If you are looking for a complete striker that can do more than score then its Eto'o but if you looking for a goal machine that just score at all time is Yekini

Eto'o was the true goal machine not Yeking, none of these players were ever on his level.

Etoo easily. He is the Greatest and best ever to emerge from Africa and one of the greatest ever strikers the world has ever seen

[olu]

I'll go with Drogba!

Eto'o had the support cast and complement of quality service. Apart from when Amuneke, Finidi Okocha and Oliseh came on board doubt Yekini had same level of support in the National team and club and he banged in the goals for all those average teams from Portugal to Spain.
Yekini ,Eto'o then Drogba for me.

When these so called support cast ( Amuneke, Finidi, Amokachi, Okocha and Oliseh) came on board onboard, Yekini goals started drying up due to infighting..

In Europe Yekini didn't play at elite level.. But He was good, however paved the way for other African strikers that came after and did better..

[Dammy]

No George Weah?

[blueangel]

George Weah

Most of the teams Eto'o on played post 2004 were average yet he still produced.

Inter , Chelsea and the Russian millionaire club?

I'll go with Drogba!

Over Et'oo? Just asking. What exactly did Drogba do better than Et'oo? Et'oo like Drogba and was lethal both at club and NT levels. Then he could actually ball in the open field and that was never Drogba's forte.

[Chimurenga Rebel]

Man from Senegal. Jules Bocande.

[Bigpokey24]

Eto, for me, then Drogba and then Yekini

[deanotito]

This is a really hard one. The only person I am not that familiar with is Bocande….But I’d dismiss Drogba right off the bat. As a center forward, he does not compare to Yekini or Eto’o.

Now, as to the choice between Yekini and Eto’o, I think I have to go with Eto’o. Its hard, but Eto’o showed his prowess at the highest club level, while Yekini showed his prowess at National level (but not the highest national level). Yes, if Yekini hadn’t spent his formative days outside of Europe, who can tell what he would have done?

I saw Yekini up close, and its hard to consider any African striker as good a center forward as he was. When Sunday Oliseh said a few weeks ago that Yekini was the greatest African striker, it rang true…But to be entirely clearheaded about it, a his “peak”, Eto’o had no center forward equal. His numbers don’t lie.

I do think Yekini was a bit fragile mentally too. He was a loner and had no use for team intrigues…in fact, from what I’ve heard, the intrigues bothered him, and took him off his game. That’s a shortcoming and can limit a player if he happens to land in non-ideal club/country situations. Eto’o and Drogba were very mentally tough. They could easily shut out the world and play their game

But when it comes to Weah or Drogba, I dismiss them right off the bat. Yekini was better than they were. Na who know know

Musa aint gone like that man!!!!

George Weah

Negro please, Eto'o all the way...not even close, check numbers for both club and country.

[deanotito]

George Weah

Please tell them.

Please tell them. I feel people get blindsided by the WPOY thing. My recollection was that football was in some kind of desert when Weah reigned supreme. He was not as good as the best that came just before him and just after him. After Weah’s era was Ronaldo…who was 3 times the striker Weah was. But he happened to be in the right place at the right time and spearheaded a very strong AC Millan team. But Weah was a 15 goal/season striker…Period. I’m not one to overly concentrate on the stats but let’s call a spade a spade. Eto’o played as a false 9 much of the time, and still scored more goals than Weah…consistently. Weah was a false-nothing. He was a center forward through and through….and couldn’t muster more than 15 goals??? Naah bro. Wasn’t even as good as Drogba

Things we hear on cyber eagles Delusional bunchs. First of all, Eto’o was banging goals at Mallorca so I don’t get the ideology that Chelsea, inter shaped his performance. Also, he was a winner and important player at Cameroun 2acn, Olympics winner, top scorer etc clearly Africa best of all time
2) No matter how patriotic you’re, never say Yekini (rip) was better than drogba. Are you mad?? Is your brain ok? Drogba also performed for club and country he was the brainchild of ivc resurgence and unluckily didn’t win An ANC. Clubwise, drogba was voted Chelsea best of all time and is one of the biggest “big game players” of all time. Dude scored in 10 finals as in you have to be mad to say yekini (Rip)was better. Infact, if drogba had peaked at a younger age, he would had been my 1
1) Eto’o
2) Drogba
3) Yekini
4) bocande
Anyone that says otherwise is a lunatic

[john12]

This guys always wanna tell us that Weah won WPOY 1 season to say he was better than Eto’o. Abeg I,sharrap ya mouth. The guy was good but wasn’t better than ETOo.

[Field Marshall Ogolo]

easily Dennis Oliech!

[The real deal]
