    you have to play these NEW players
    Razak Braimah (Guadalajara, Spain)
    Yusif Chibsah (Parma, Italy)
    Emmanuel Banahene (Sanliurfaspor, Turkey),

  • Ofosu 12 years ago

    When have someone who is stupid to head your team, he will never select the good players due to personal problems he have with them...oh ghana .

    as member of the team?

  • Lush Ambient Bubbles 12 years ago

    AA should prepare for the worst and hope for best. He must also be xtra circumspect about them Japanese, Koreans, and them Turkish guys.

    Most of them Turkish guys were born and bred in Deutschland, and therefore play more ...

    It is not "allegation" but allegiance.

  • BJ 12 years ago

    Kwesi Appiah and Kwesi Nyantakyi are really hurting our souls. Nepotism is just too much in the GFA, rubbish.

  • Prof Ato Azumah 12 years ago

    Adiyiah is our penalty specialist. He is there for penalties. Nonsense!!

  • USA 12 years ago

    You are a big fool if you are a coach when will you try other players. Small boys with big ego should step out. If i am the GFA even if Appiah should lose against Zambia i will still give him the job. swin you

  • J Ananga 12 years ago

    I think you are right. Coaches quarrel with the Balotelli's, the Suarez's etc but use them to achieve the best results. If the coach has problems with the Sulley's, the Ayews etc and does not invite even though they are in to ...

  • Fao 12 years ago

    What has happened to Muntari, the Ayews and Kevin Prince? Are they still part of the Black Start team?

  • anokwale 12 years ago

    They are no longer a part of the program. Let us move on.

  • Sammy the Sheriff 12 years ago

    Emmanuel who? Have no idea who this guy is.Is he better than Assifuah of Liberty Professionals?

  • Mohammed Awuni 12 years ago

    I guess he got the call because he plays in Turkey

  • GHFUO, BE SERIOUS NOT PRIDEFUL! 12 years ago

    DIV 2 TURKISH PLAYER IN GBSTARS? JESUS CHRIST! WHERE IS AKAMINKO?

  • Rocket 12 years ago

    He is in the first division now

  • Ofosu 12 years ago

    Ghana will lose and we will see this soon..with this stupid selection of kwasaais and left out the best players...idiot

  • USA 12 years ago

    Idoit i hope you don't come back praising appiah and his boys.

  • GHFUO, BE SERIOUS NOT PRIDEFUL! 12 years ago

    WHERE IS AKAMINKO? HE PLAYS IN TURKEY!
    CHIBSAH, ADOMAH, BANAHENE, ADIYIAH DONT DESERVE CALL UPS. WHERE IS GYIMAH, KUMORDZI, AFFUM,.....I DONT SEE ANY U20 PLAYERS HERE...YIADOM, ASSIFUAH, ACHEAMPONG, ATTAMA..WHY?

  • Johnny 12 years ago

    I have been defending Appiah all along, but I don't agree with his view that selecting some of the U-20 players will be rushing them. These players, Attamah, Acheampong, Aboagye, Assifuah, are all reasy to be tried in a frien ...

  • GHFUO, BE SERIOUS NOT PRIDEFUL! 12 years ago

    assifuah, yiadom, acheampong, attama, GOALIE OFORI are the ONLY PLAYERS DESERVING OF A GBSTAR CALL UP.

  • Johnny 12 years ago

    Ofori has the size, confidence and skill to develop into a really good goalkeeper.

  • POW@One goal project is over 12 years ago

    Assifuah played for Liberty Professionals in our local league all year long but couldn't outshine Mahatma Otoo in any field of a striker. There's no need for me to even compare them kwraaa because we all know Assifuah is youn ...

    You too "and so what" no bi. I gave you a very good example by using the local league where both Mahatma and Assifuah featured close to 30 matches. Assifuah played more matches than Mahatma but never came close to Mahatma's s ...

  • The Stallion 12 years ago

    POW is right here. Assifuah played in only a 2-week tournament, so don't use that as a yardstick!
    Moreover, AA wants to cast his nets wide to see if there are better fishes somewhere, so leave the coach alone. It is with fri ...

    You shd equally leave GH FUO to make his comments. If we cannot express our opinions here, thrn dont comment on anyone's comment

  • anokwale 12 years ago

    Keep in mind that Adomah is somewhat important with respect to his ability to make crosses from the right. There are certain games where he will be important so he needs to continue to get playing time.

  • GHFUO, BE SERIOUS NOT PRIDEFUL! 12 years ago

    WHR R THEY?

  • POW@One goal project is over 12 years ago

    You even don't know where they are so why do you ask? If they're active, you would know by now. Go find some pito atop the ogogloo you've already drunk, find a mat and sleep.

  • ensore robbie. 12 years ago

    sorry meant video highlights of emmanuel osei banahene and you will see finishing power. i think he and mahatma otoo play the same style and could easily play the wings giving k appiah more striking power upfront.

    You do make a good point, but if there is any validity to your argument, then what is Kwadwo Asamoah, Gyan and other more established players doing in this team?

  • The Stallion 12 years ago

    But you know that the coach, or any other coach, can't bring entirely different players. He has to add a few established players!

  • anokwale 12 years ago

    Ghanaians have trouble moving on to new things. Many of these people commenting want to see Essien, Appiah, Muntari and Dramani in the midfield. Yes, that was great while it lasted but the program must develop. New players ...

    Our coach is simply not serious. He should find out why Arsenal go without a trophy each season for almost 7 years.

  • Kwame Kwarteng 12 years ago

    I simply don't like this coach. He is wasting our precious time. He can't do better than what we've done since 2006 and I fear he would perform below the standard.
