Essien is not a 32 year old man but a 40 year old guy who cannot play with twenty something and teenagers anymore.

Can you believe even Stephen Appiah is prancing around as a 34 year old guy? Why is that 32 and 34 year old Ghanaians and Africans cannot play football but you see European guys in their late thirties playing in major leagues around the world? AGE CHEATING.

Shut up is it your business?Are you the owner of Panathinakos?Think of your country which is suffering from a very harsh economic crisis.

You a dumb ass obviously and jealous if not you could allow yourself some education to have known that Toni Lucas is almost 39 and was the leading goal scorer in Seria A last season., beating the likes of Gonzalez Eguahim and Calos Tevez to it, as well as a lot of some 20 yr old. Everything that goes up comes down. If Essien had donated his earnings at his new club to Charity in Ghana I bet the likes of you will sing his praise and urge him on till the last drop of his blood, for as long as the money comes he could even die trying. What a people.

According to his football history, he played for Hearts between 1995-1997.

Waow!!, he started playing for Hearts when he was 14? Enough said.

Ata Ayi who Appiah said was his friend and used to eat with is in his mid forties so use your common sense if you have one.

That is so true, look at John Terry(34), Frank Lampard, D Drogba (37) playing at high level. Drogba was still playing at level last season at 36.

It's the simple truth, Sammy but Ghanaians as deceitful and liars we are will insult. I worked with a mate of Essien who completed secondary school with him. He is younger than Essien but the chap is more than 37.

How much more serious do you want it to be? Essien plays a match and requires a month to recover and you don't think it is serious??

This story is cooked up by Sannie Diara and some GFA officials to discredit the name of the midfield Dynamo.

Age has caught up with him and is a fact and the truth. He knows it. Is better he hangs up his boots. The body can't cope with the vigirous training methods anymore.

Time for these old players to come and join our local clubs. At least attendance might go up due to their presence. They can't cheat nature forever and compete with some of the best players in the game.

Hi Mike, do you now reckon the sweetness of Nadia Buari,s pussy is death not by firing squad but an end of a career ? Your father died without ordinary refrigerator during the peak of your career. Meanwhile you were the toast of the useless prostitutes. Hei maapa you see where kontua can lead men to ? I hope the girl by name Punaani which you married is yet to finish the few remaining coins of your sweat ? Maapa, why are you ending your career with disgrace ? Please go to your fathers,s graveyard to beg for forgiveness. Oh, small child.
