I dont want to comment about people, but to see great footballers like Baby Jet and CK suggesting we should build black stars around one player marvels me.
Its obvious they wont succeed in coaching. If kudus is not available what then do we do. We should build a formidable midfield, good strikers and strong defense system. But not to build our team around one player.

Building the team around Kudus makes a lot of sense.

We are talking about a team. A football team is made up of 11 important players and we just can't have a weak link. In other words everyone is very important. If the question is who our best or most important player is at the moment, it's Kudos without a doubt. What does playing around a player mean??

Rest the children of our legend Abedi Pele and the blackstars will shine again, people must not read any wrong meaning of their stay out ,infact their continued stay in the team is doing more harm than good.

Argentina has tried it twice in 1986 and 2022 and it worked for them in winning the WC.Argentina 1986 squad was completely an unknown squad with the exception of Diego Maradona.They did the same by leaving notable players in 2022 and selecting promising youmg players who respect Lionel Messi and are prepared to work under him to win 2022 WC.

Honorable@Nana kweku, I beg to differ, go back and check the profiles of the other players. They had some fantastic players like Valdano, Kanija and co. Also it is relatively difficult to win in todays game while relying on one player. This same Argentina relied heavily on messi when he was in his prime (2006 to 2014) yet they couldn’t win the mundial. What you saw in the 2022 World Cup was an Argentine team who played for one another in a system that helped everyone perform without over relying on messi.

I believe all that Gyan and Akonnor are saying has only one meaning . It's time to built the team using the younger players. CK who has been a coach of the BS know the inside of the team and has affirmed this. I believe Nyantakyi has said this before. I stand for correction though.
One of the main problems of the BS over the years is failure of the various managers to retire players appropriately .Infact CK, Appiah ,Gyan captaincy era were not managed well when age was catching up with them. As a nation we could not boldly tell them , listen , you have served your country well and we love you , but it's time to look up to another era. Probably play a match to honour them . Presently as a nation ,we are facing the same situation over again to the detriment of the team's performance . The fact is , this situation is going to derail our
team re-building efforts because the criteria for retiring players have not been set down. Max Gradel of Ivory Coast has just retired when the applause is the loudest , just winning an Afcon.Managers of the BS will have to look at this issue carefully .

I can't picture any player in the Black Stars that we should build our Black Stars around for now.They are all weak,no skills and no coordination among them.Otto Addo who was given the future to coach the Black Stars feared that future and lost his conviction after the world cup and resigned.He came back again because GFA is not having enough money to hire a top coach.Otto Addo was a joke and he is now damaged joke and he is now looking like someone who has just returned from a holiday blues.

I ABSOLUTELY TALKED ABOUT A "SPINE" FOR THE BLACK STARS. RECENTLY I SUGGESTED THE SAME IDEA AND JUST LOOK AT HOW BRAZIL IS BUILDING A NEW TEAM WITH THEIR SUPERSTARS STILL PLAYIING. OTTO IS LUCKY TO HAVE A SLEW OF YOUNG PLAYERS ABROAD AND DOMEESTIC THAT HE CAN USE TO BUILD A FORMIDABLE TEAM. WE MUST ALL UNDERSTAND THAT IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME AND FOR THAT REASON, WE MIGHT LOSE SOME GAMES IN THE PROCESSS.

You are right. Team is built around 5 to 7 key players including 2 very good and reliable goalkeepers not a single player. Asamoah Gyan is one of my most respected players in Ghana but I don't think he is right. We have a key player in a team to distract attention and to make the team fearful. I don't know if that is what he was trying to suggest.

Building a team around Kudus does not mean Kudus will be the only player on the field. Obviously the team will comprise 11 players, but there should be a number of players who will bring the best out of Kudus. This means there should be a solid defenders and midfielders who can collaborate with kudus upfront to create chances and get us the results needed. We do not need selfish players who only thinks about themselves and how to make name recognition, but who will play as a team for positive results.
