KK, what is your definition of luck in this situation? How would you classified John Mensah's constant injury? Is that luck or lack of fitness? I will want you to come back and respond please.

Will be waiting.

Luck and lack is the same because they all start with the letter L ha ha. John Mensah's problem is not about lack of fitness it about old age plain and simple. The bones are weak and no amount of Prophecy would bring back them. I wish you Slimzay can say these words ""Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!

Point accepted! 2008 AFCON was an example. We took some hidden unfitted players to that tournament and we paid a big time. When it was time for us to have defenders to back us up at the defense, couple of them were down since the beginning of the tournament till the end and couldn't get their fitness back. I think we learnt our lesson from that incident.

Now, let us evaluate these few players who are unfit at the moment according to TM, and see the available players we could possibly use to replace them. Here are the names brought to the table: John Mensah, Micheal Essien, Rabiu Mohammed, Isaac Vorsah, John Boye. We have three defenders and two midfielders. Let us begin with the defense first. John Mensah, John Boyer and Isaac Vorsah are our best central defenders. Which other central defenders do we have to take these two positions? We have Jonathan Mensah who has been sitting on bench at his club lately. We have Jerry Akaminko, Awal Mohamed, Sumiala Rashid. How are these players doing in their respective clubs? That is a question we need to ask. We may need four for the trip to Brazil. We are talking about the original 4 and 5 positions. Bring in some names and if not then we have no choice but to take what we have.

Midfilders, Rabiu and Essien. Both players are mainly defensive midfielders. This is a particular position we have been blessed with many players. I believe we have few to take over. Agyeman Badu, Wakaso Mubarrack, Kevin Prince Boateng, who sometimes is an unfit fully for the position. Here is a question we need to ask ourselves. Do we have quality players as these unfit ones? What do you think? Come out with names and analyses to replace these players. Without that, blind argument wouldn't
work.

What do you say?

Always the truth hurt to heard and to be admitted, but it is the truth. What Tachie-Mensah was saying that selected players must pass a RIGOROUS fitness test would be the key for our success and progression. Because it is only fire which can determine real gold!

This is a warning to the coach and his selection team to desist from inviting players who are bench warmers but are bent on signing new contracts just to make more money while infact, they're old-aged and injury prone.

The truth is that most of these foreign based players have made some money, and therefore wouldn't mind bribing their way to be selected to participate in the tournament.

The world is watching you!

Common sense dictates to every coach not to send injured players to play anywhere so Tachie Mensah, you have said nothing. Come up with something sensible!

Where was common sense when we needed it during 2008 AFCON in Ghana? If LeRoy did it what makes you think Appiah wouldn't repeat such a mistake. I think it is good for us to bring it back because as soon as that 23 players are picked and registered with fifa, there is nothing we could do to change the players.

Have you thought about that?

It is really be a big dis-service for any player knowing quiete well is not fit to just fake it to get selected to such an important tourney just because of money.Yes we all know every player wants to be show cased in the wc because the whole world will be watching but if one really loves his country will really think twice to do just that.Let us take Essien for example he asked to be excused from selection when he found himself he was not fit that was great thing he did although others thought he faked it but he knows himself better and did not want to be an embarasement to the team.I hope the right thing will be done.Just look at Jordan he knows by now that only his brother Dede is a BS material and a megastar but still wants to force his way into the fold.Abedi was also no doubt a megastar.

If you select players who haven't even played at least half the number of games per season.then expect them to get injured before or.during the Wcup. Must I explain my reasoning for saying this as well?..

Ghana Black Stars Coach Dr.James Kwesi Appiah must select only fit,and Players Playing Week-in,and Week-out for their Club.And Coach Kwesi Appiah should Prepare the Team very well for the World Cup in Brazil.

The GFA has turned the BLACK STAR team into a clique where the likes of Essen, Asamoah Gyan, John Mensah, John Boye, etc are all guaranteed selection regardless of their fitness, uselessness and good for purpose.

These so-called experienced players have so much deep knowledge of GFA corruption that an attempt to dump them will expose the corruption in the GFA and Sports Ministry BIG
TIME!

The GFA and Sports Ministry officials have turned the Black Star team into a GOLD MINE because Ghanaians are allowing this.

That's why unearthing talent in Ghana's local league to play in the Black Star has taken a back seat.

Pretty much the same thing is happening in mainstream politics in Ghana - Chop make I chop positions going to the wrong political office holders.

We shall all continue to swim in SHIT!
