The last time I checked, Abedi Pele's three sons were, and still are, playing soccer (football) abroad and his ass is criticizing others for going to play FOR MONEY like his sons?? How hypocritical??
So long as Ghana remains POOR, disorganized, visionless, disrespectful, corrupt, LAZY, etc., etc., not only our soccer players will continue to go abroad to make money, but also Ghana’s intellectuals and other skillful people will continue to flee the country—to secure a better life for themselves and their families.
If in the 21st century Ghana can't get electric power for the people with our:
Oil, Gold, Diamonds, Manganese, Bauxite, Cocoa, Timber, Income & Property Taxes, Import duties, Bilateral loans, IMF & World Bank loans, annual budget support from the Western nations, Free Foreign Aid, Debt forgiveness, HIPiC, etc., etc., then HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT AMBITIOUS PEOPLE CONTINUE TO STAY IN THAT HELL HOLE?? Are you crazy or what??
But, he (Abedi Pele) has no damn business criticizing other players while his three sons are busy playing abroad for money: Andre (France or England), Jordan (England or France) and the oldest son—Achtung bitte—playing in Germany. Lastly, why did you (Abedi Pele) leave Ghana to play in France? Wasn't it for the Almighty money, you, fool?? So, call your sons home and the rest MAY follow suit.

Abedi is a maestro with immense success. He is a legend and is financially comfortable. His kids are progressing well and most important is the lack of scandals associated with them. He must reason why the the youngsters are going to the Arab World. He must be careful not to curtail the trust those 'lower'leagues have in the Ghanaian players nor the wealth that is associated with the players who are thronging the Arab World. Ghana is a football exporting country. Let Abedi consider whether he played for the sake of Ghana or for his success and future well-being of the children that he brought forth in France. Hence the need for him not to open his mouth on a topic like this.

It's called the recycle game. The answer to that is just to call up the hungry young players from the academies and Europe (even those warming benches) to play for the Black Stars, and let the washed up go over there to make money and end their careers.
In turn, those of the new called-ups who can't make it in prime time can also go to China, India or wherever to make retirement money.
In this way, we would end up getting only the cream of the crop to play for the Black Stars. I am not worried at all because they are coming out of the academies in dozens. The only problem is that we continue to feature those retirement-bound players in the Black Stars at the expense of the young and coming, and so, we end up having a weaker team with non-passionate and uncommitted players.
If we continue on this path, we should kiss trophies goodbye, and let the Malians and Cape Verdean rule African soccer.

He left marseille becos he was no good and not getting playing time. He went to loreint and did well at a lower performing club. So he should have gone back to marseille to redeem himself before taken that leap to Aston Villa. The competition level in the epl is prolly more fierce and intense than it is in France. Epl prolly also has much better players, better paid than in france. That's why. It will take more than 1 season for jordan to bloom. He has a better shot in division 1 or go back to french top flight marseille where he is already familiar with the surroundings

Abedi Pele may be right to a point but he has no right what so ever to question where and when someone plies his/her trade. He Abedi Pele played for Al Ain fc in the United Arab Emirate after playing in Europe for years, so what is the problem with Muntari and Gyan moving to the Arab world after playing in Europe for years as well? Muntari and Gyan are doing exactely the same thing he Abedi Pele did so why is he complaining. If up and coming young players are giving up or turning down offers in Europe and moving to the Asia league then fine, there might be a cause for concern when it come to our national teams, but not established players who have only got few years left in them to do what they do. Only time will tell if Dede Ayew and Jordan Ayew will join the train to the Gulf league or China League. Abedi paaaaaaaa!! you go hammer your cash finish, retire in peace, but you no want make your brother too go hammer some! Oh Abedi!!! Remember most of the Black Stars players who won the African cup of nations for Ghana where local players, so playing in the so called competitive leagues does not guarantee anything. The last time England won the world cup was 1966 yet their league is perceived to be the most competitive.

it is really unfortunate that such a brilliant objective observation will be treated with simplistic interpretation. please let us learn to use our brains and time constructively
Abedi started from low football countries and developed to top flight football but today the boys go to Europe briefly and then to Arab football where they fail to develop their talents. Maestro well said
Abedi started his foreign adventures in Bahrain. From there he went to lowly Benin. Now, hear him condemn others who are following in his footsteps.
Money
Please am so sorry be Abedi to me did not plan before he spoke. To me this is an unproductive statement to make. Shame on you Abedi.
south africa and senegal 92 shut the fuck up
It's you who must shut the fuck up, a bastard like you. At least he has done something Ghana, what have you done for Ghana?
when he is playing in europe his shirt is well tucked in but when he is playing for ghana his shirt must be out. that was what infuriated the coach in the match against nigeria in 1992. interesting jordan is doing same in gha ...

Man you are right
What is wrong when players moved to Arab world to play?he Abedi also played in Qatar he should not be stupid.
Sir you hit the nail right on the head not only us who may be in trouble but Brazil as well look at their national team and their league today is not far from rearlity
Why should they stay Europe and endure all this racism
probably they do not want to end up like Ali Jarah. who is now dyin out of depression.
The maestro is right. But i can see most of you don't reason before you comment. He's talking about players moving there at the early stages or peak of their career. Abedi played in those countries when he was about to reti ...

Abedi is a big lie
YOU WENT TO PLAY IN QATAR AT THE TIME EVERYBODY KNEW THEY WERE PLAYING 'TENNIS BALL'. WHY BECAUSE OF 'YANKEE' DOLLARS. WHO CARES ABOUT GHANA? ASK ALI JARRA.LET THEM MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINING!!!!!!!!!
