We have some very crucial mataches coming and yet the GFA is involved in petty politics
cha, I think the coach and GFA are on the right path. Asamoah Gyan did the same thing and that set the precedence. We must learn to do things right and consistently.
Most commenters are right on this 'who has the big ego' thing. The fans do not know clearly the kind of relationship between management and the players. That is the problem! Otherwise, this should be very simple.
There is a saying that 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. The BS were doing well without these guyS. These players thought that when they left, the BS would 'crash and burn'. We didn't. We are in the 'drivers seat' again. ...

if they come then is ghana better
Appiah wil be in trouble if we loose this match against turkey.Better get these 3 most important boys back in tzhe team b4 its too late.with the three boys ,the black star can stand any team in the world.Lets put Ghana first.
Avogadro, we are doing well indeed. Playing teams like Sudan and Lesotho who outperform us on the field and you say we are doing well. This 3rd rate Team C you call the Black Stars? The Coach is subpar and the GFA hierarchy i ...

I understand what you mean by doing the right thing and being consistent. The problem is that it is the very GFA that is the most inconsistent and flip flopper in everything. If what you are saying and comparing is true, then ...

I agree. If the Ayews had the courage to write to exclude themselves, then they should dwell on the same courage to write to include themselves. This is not about pride. It is about being honest to yourself and to your countr ...

What has a Captains band got to do with this? The writer only used Gyan as an example. You see how stupid Ghana people are? They don't even keep the receipt for anything they buy, let alone keep records. This is why any fool ...

GHANIANS ARE FOOLS THEY DON'T THINK BEFORE THEY TALK BEGGING PLAYERS TO PLAY FOR THEIR COUNTRY WHICH WORLD ONLY GHANA BECAUSE TOO MUCH SUN FOOLS IDIOTS
This pull him here and there of Kevin is because of the Ayews,the authorities think they should punish the Ayews, possibily, not to allow them to add to their father's name, unfortunately Kevin is found with them
YOUR SOURCE OF BLESSING IS NEGLECTED. GO BACK HOME LIKE OTHERS
First of all Abedi Pele has nothing to do with this or selection of Blackstars players leave him out of this, and secondly these three players wrote to their clubs and the GFA that they are no more playing for their country ...

Just be moderate with your language and you will still make your point. I don't think they are arrogant, have they told you they won't write?
TMO De Law you are on point on this one you are absolutely correct it is simple case.
Saying by mouth does not do the trick, you know everything is paper work. They also face serious competition from some of the UI20 players especially Jordan, Assifuah to me is a better striker and more "hungry" and Warris, Gy ...

What will be the evidence of change of mind should the clubs of the trio ask gfa?hear say is not used at that level of profesionalism.
YAW BOAKYE AND CHA AM SORRY FOR YOU
We do not write in the ICT age? You just wrote your comments. If we do not write in the ICT age, why did they write to inform the GFA of their temporary retirement from the Blackstars? What sort of planet are you on?

I think this makes a lot of sense. They are great players but things must be done in the right way. Coach Kwasi Appiah and the GFA are on the right path and I fully support that.
I do not know why this is being made to look so cumbersom. All GFA has to do is have a form letter stating clearly that - I Kwaku Mensah intend to return to official duties for Ghana. - Have them sign the letter and return to ...

Please, they wrote and signed for themselves for their resignation and they should as well write and sign themselves for their return. We all love them but a bad precedence should not be set. Thank you.

I like the process for these boys return. GFA insist that they follow the process so that no one will repeat that again.
THEY HAVE TO DO SO THEY ARE NOT BETTER THEN ANY ONE IN BLACK STAR TEAM
N0N OF THIS GUYS WILL WRITE A PIN TO GFA THEY DONT NEED GFA FOR ANYTHING SO GFA SHOULD SIT AND WAIT TILL ZAMBIA GIVE US 20 ,1
WE DON'T NEED THEM BROV LET THEM GO ZAMBIA CAN NOT SCORE GHANA IN KUMASI TRUST ME
which right path... wen da gfa did not pay the players winning bonuses ..did they made dem to write and letter for delay of payment.....
Personally, since they sat down to write officially to GFA, I FEEL THEY CAN IN THAT SAME MANNER WRITE TO WITHDRAW THE PREVIOUS LETTERS OR DECLARE THEIR WILLINGNESS TO REJOIN THE TEAM. THATS THE RIGHT THING AND NORMAL. BCOS AS ...

Which foreign coach won anything for Ghana?
Ask him again DD. This stupid stuff of any player waking up one day and says I'm not playing for the country any more must stop and this is one of the surest ways of doing that.

how can one wrote to omit himself? the same way the person must write to include himself.
Why is it that the GFA cannot write to their respective clubs in Europe and request for their release for International duty? The GFA is bluffing once again for nothing to gain in the end.
LET THEM PLAY FIRST AND THEN WRITE WHATEVER NONSENSE THE GFA WANTS LATER.
I don't just know what GFA is telling Ghanaians becos we need this vital talents
These players publicly declared they were willing to play for BS months ago. Between then and now GFA DID not tell them personally that in order to make it official the needed a letter? But rather coming out publicly to ask t ...

DIDN'T U APPEAL TO THEM TO RECIND THEIR DECISION? WHAT IF THEY REFUSE TO WRITE? HOW DID U GET TO KNOW THEY ARE WILLING TO PLAY FOR GHANA? GFA WRITE THE SAID LETTER FOR THEM IF U INSIST AND STOP THE BUREACRATIC TENDENCIES.
I thought GFA rejected thier resignation letter, so why do they need a letter to come back. These GFA guys are just FOOLS.

Black Stars as a team has enough fire power to give in to a bluff. Anybody who resigns willingly should be given an exit interview, a forever farewell party and shown a door of no-return.

Seriously speaking we need these players to humble the Zambians and therefore don't have to drug matters further.

Ayews, PKB et al kudos, that is patriotism.

BUREACRACY IS AN ENEMY OF AFRICA'S DEVELOPMENT IN ALL SPHERES OF LIFE. IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR, PRIVATE SECTOR, IN SPORTS, ETC.
it is really very necessary and formal to write to GFA in order to win their full concentration away from their respective CLUB teams.
we are on disciplinary grounds here, my question is 'why should it be some player?'
Too bereaucratic, too complecated, if you really need them, why not invite them for a cup of Caffee and diplomatically persuade them to write something down.
This they can`t refuse.
So this is something that has to be broadcasted through the media. Time Nyantakyi and his gang leave the GFA for new people. Afterall you have been there for too long , am saying this simply because the way things are happeni ...
