    Dede is finished like does Kofi Adams not realize that

  • Doomed Africa 2 days ago

    No, Dede Ayew is not finished as a footballer. He is still very active playing in Dutch top league and has a lot of football tournament experience that the Black Stars need at WC level.

    Dede was cut because he was out of gas behaving like a "Player-coach", bucking Otto Addo's decisions. Now, you want him to come back and do the same. Coach Carlos is the coach. Now we need Good players not a player-coach. Pa ...

    Stop deceiving yourself. Dede is not actively playing anywhere. It was pay to play. Ask Dede how much was he been paid while in Nertherlands. He volunteered his service to force his way into the national teeam.

    Double hypocricy, since Dede was dropped what has he done to convince anyone. If Dede is a savior, he should have saved his last club from relegation. Even they took a good look and let him go.
