    Jordan is simply too Dull. His level of aggression when he plays for.Lorient is not being replicated here at all.......tweaaaaa! Grant must move jordan to the right wing, atsu to the 8 spot.

    Dede, call a spade what it is called.Just because Jordan is your biological sibling does not mean you defend him whilst it is clear he is not a quality. Thinking of the national interest? The protection of an elder brother is ...

    REMEBER, BAFFOUR GYAN DEFENDED ASAMOAH AND TODAY ASAMOAH GYAN IS OUR HERO. DEDE, KEEP ON ENCOURAGING HIME FOR HIS TIME APPOINTED BY GOD WILL COME

  • mensah abrampa 9 years ago

    God cares equally about every member of the team. There's nothing like God's appointed time for Jordan. God works and expects his children to work hard to achieve their goals. There's no shortcut to success. It's by dedicatio ...

    The thing is that you are partially correct and Dede is partially correct. Jordan is more of a hold up forward who will pass to the other forward or find the attacking midfielders making runs. He is not a person who is goin ...

  • Yao - USA 9 years ago

    You guys talked about correct on this or that, what are Jordan's stats as striker or midfield holder. He is designated as a striker so he should score or help others to score. Is he doing that? That is what we are talking abo ...

    You can't use players out of position amd when they fail.to.deliver, you bench them. You look at each player's skill and plug them in spots to benefit the team. Atsu is by far the best dribbler on the team,.followed by jordan ...

    Jordan shouldn't think of those idiot that jealousy and hatred 've taken better part of them. If it's coming from their side then it's okay but if not then they 'll 've something negative to say about it

  • KBI 9 years ago

    Can he tell his brother that, it's not necessary to score goal alone, it's also better to assist in goalscoring, by passing the ball to other players too without being selfish. That is his problem.

  • Tina 9 years ago

    I think all this criticism will make the guy stronger but he deserve to be praise.

  • zionman 9 years ago

    You are an a***hole. Football is teamwork.

    It's unhealthy to criticize a team mate when a tournament is on, esp., when it's about a sibling. Andre Ayew is right to stand for his younger brother.
