This captainship issue is going to wreck little by little our efforts, enthusiasm, chance, hopes and unity towards our qualification for Russia.

Dede is good and bold, but Gyan is charismatic leader. We don't need to cause friction against the two at the moment. Whoever to lead the team at any particular match or moment is fine for all.

Why all these brouhaha ...

To daff not.

Although Dede Ayew deserves to be the Captain, that can only happen if Gyan resigns. Dede has respect for Gyan, so there is no need to sow seed of discord between these two important players of our Black Start. There is no need to create tension between these two hardworking players. If Asamoah Gyan resigns, it will be Dede's turn to lead the black Star, Dede has the track record to do. He captained Ghana U-20 to win Africa Youth Championship and World Cup. He won league with Marseille. He has won player of the month in EPL, he has won BBC African player of the year before. If you don't love him, don't despise him, he will prove you wrong.

Who ever is in charge of this GW stuff, is not really doing well. I wonder whether you guys are adding anything to the development to our dear nation. As a journalist, not everything should be reported or should be talk about. Especially the nonsensically ones.
I'm also highly disappointed in Abrahim Tanko if indeed such statements came from his mouth! Where are we heading towards to as a nation! Or is it because Dede is a Muslim just like you

Mr Tanko, hasn't Dede, Muntari, Michael Esien etc all worn the armband one time or another any time the captain was hurt? Gyan remains one of the best strikers on the continent, he is bold, charismatic, inspirational, etc. we have Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto, Yaya touri, etc but for 3 successive world cups it is Gyan that has rescued Africa from shame, all the other big strikers shrink on the big stage, but Gyan shines. We have to respect him, so long as he remains our best striker(not Jordan, not Warris, etc) he must continue to wear the arm band.

Gyan is no longer inspirational. His time is over even though we do not have a "perfect" substitute for him. We need a good leader. Gyan lacks leadership skills but at the same time Dede appears a bit immature in terms of handling off court issues.

Gyan is loved by all, including Dede, he is like a magnet that brings the team together. If he lacks leadership skills as you are saying, why was he made captain in the first place? Gyan as a player and captain of the Black Stars have seen the strength and status of the team grow.

Stop pushing this issue, you will tear the team apart. Gyan is the captain for now and his tenure will be over at some point. Ayew is still young and the deputy captain. He has chalked a steady progress in that direction. There's no doubt Ayews's quality as a leader but the transition must be natural and smooth. How do you think Gyan and some team mates will feel when he is forced to relinquish the captaincy? Drop this issue!
