  • Slimzay ***The Unshakable Shaker*** 7 years ago

    It pains me soo much that George will come to air and say things like this. Someone who demands money from the U-20 players before they could be selected to represent their country. What do you expect, Mr.?

    Trophy or no trophy, they have to charge for their services. Have you asked yourself how much these players were charged before they were exposed to the higher level of this beautiful game? GFA will charge from U-17 to U-20, ...

    If that is the case, why don't you forget about them and use the local players? If they play for money, when they refuse to come, it means they are not greedy. They don't want your money so leave them alone. If you're in c ...

  • Rebel 7 years ago

    George Afriyie must resign as BS Vice Chair for coming on air to say these things. Foooooool. Idiot. Is that how to run the GFA? Is that how to maintain the confidence and trust of the players?

  • Kofi 7 years ago

  • Akwasi 7 years ago

    In fact, this man is witless. He want them to play and make money of them. He is the most mindless person in Ghana. Does this man think clearly or rationally?

  • Charles 7 years ago

    do you George Afriyie serve Ghana free?As some players even said you officials usually demand money from them before they are called to play for the black stars so what moral right do you have to condemn the players
