  Look Andre himself must know that he has had his time, and he should have retired by now,...but he is proud and stubborn. He doesn't want the last memories that Ghanaians have of him to be his poor performances and missed penalties, but if he does not retire, it will only get worse, because the guy has no legs, he has no defense in his game, and he is only good for 5 minutes. That's it!!!

  Andre Ayew is officially retired from the BS. It's up to him to accept the reality. Until then the team must move on. There is too much drama/focus on number 10 jersey for a team that is not playing well. The number 10 Jersey, like any other standard jersey number has been passed around like Ashawo from Abedi, to Appiah, Dede, and to Kudus. Trust me, it will be passed around some more. I like Dede Ayew, but the jersey does not belong to him or any other player. Let's focus on what's important, WINNING.

  Here comes the Ayews propaganda machine to do the useless work once again. How can you prosper with lies?. They're working their way again, claim the captainship for Jordan and bring back Dede. You can play even till you hold a walking stick but nothing good will come out of it. Some us have had enough of the Ayew drama and Kurt Okraku arrogance. I hope this yawa team doesn't qualify for the world cup. They're not even good enough yet so much is wasted on them in return for heartache and drama. President Mahama use the black stars money for more profitable ventures.

  Andre was not "stripped" of anything. The captaincy and the #10 or #1000 jerseys all belong to Ghanaians and all Ghanaians. Even Antoine Griesemann who actually WON the World Cup for France is no longer the captain of the French team and you don't hear the French people complaining about "stripping" the armband from Griesemann. Also Paul Pogba and Blaise Matuida actually WON the World Cup but are no longer part of the French team and no one in France is complaining they should be back because the won the WC. Why is it that in Ghana alone you act like the captain armband is some sort of status symbol even if you have not won any trophies before?

  Dede, has served his nation. He has duly paid his dues to Ghana as any patriotic citizen will do.
  However, he must accept that his time is past and gone into the annals of Ghana`s football history.
  He should honourably and gracefully self-retire from the Black Stars to pave way for the youngsters, for he is no more the Dede of yester-years we all enjoyed.

  Dede the truth need to be told. The greatest ever, the maestro himxelf retire at the age of 33years. What are you doing around the team which has more quality prayers than you.Even Jordan is now suspect with his A contribution when we are talking about men to fight for the balls and tackle for effective 90mins. Let the young ones play. Your father champion the likes of Asare,Gargo, Odartey and Duah to replace the old folks. what do you think he will say about you and Jordon. You guys hav e done your part lets others continue with mantle.

  The dynamics of the game is fast changing and becoming fast paced for Dede to match up. He must retire honorably to save himself. He has paid his dues must allow others to showcase their talents too. Continue with your club and don't think of coming back to the Black Stars. You might be embarrassed by certain misfortunes that might cost you. A piece of advice for Andre Dede Ayew

  Oh Ghana people, please for once be nice to a player who has done the best of best in many years ever for Ghana, must be engaged in a friendly and encouraging manner, where Andre Ayew will be called and given a briefing to start engaging him for an important ceremony, to see him off in a a befitting manner, just as it happens to most players like Andre’s caliber. Andre Ayew has done all the best a player is expected to do. Seeing retiring from Black Stars in a befitting ways, will encourage all players to do their best knowing that they might be celebrated by the people of Ghana and Africa in general.

  This shouldn't be the focus of the team now. He took the No. 10 from someone (Kwedjo Asamoah) and the captaincy from Asamoah Gyan. Emre yedi nkaso.
  His time is up. He should just understand and accept.

  Dede Ayew has served his country well even though he could not achieve his dream of captaining the Black stars to dizzy heights. I admire his selflessness however, and to all those clamoring for his return/inclusion into the Blackstar Team; please cut him a break
  This guy is tired; his soul is willing but the flesh is weak. And instead of encouraging him to hang his boots some of you guys whose financial survival is in his pockets are still singing his praises
  Why? Do you want to see him drop dead on the pitch bedecked with the Captain's arm band and the No 10 jersey? Dede, just retire ok: for those who are angling for your return are your enemies and not friends A word to the wise is enough . I rest my case.
