This Guy is worried about not making more club money for retirement and must be broke despite making all those millions all these years. Lots of these African youngsters are not smart with money you know! The girls got all his money!! He as no heart to give to Ghana even if he were to come back.

First, our so-called journalists must learn NOT to incite the public (mostly 'uneducated' about particular situations) with lies about what 'he said, should have said, could have said', etc.
Second, over time, I've learnt that most of the guys who publish stories on this platform and elsewhere LACK full knowledge of the facts on the ground, just like us - most readers.
If you get your facts from here, then I entreat you to 'do a little more research' before coming out WITH ALL YOUR MISSILES against our sportsmen and women.
Why do Ghanaians like to ACCUSE, ATTACK, and create HATRED amongst ourselves, so unnecessarily?
If Essien or any other player left for their team's camp, it's because it's time to report to duty.
STOP THIS FUNNY ARTICLES OF DIVISION.

Excuse me Nana, one can have "rest" in the national team only when one get injury. We are sick and tired of playing us "Konongo Kaya" games. But I don't blame him but GFA and MRAA, they should focus on the few birds we have at hand rather than those 1000s of eagles in the sky.
It seems we are scared of the Zambians but the same squad the hammered the Sudan at Baba Yara could be ABLE to trash the Zambitos at all course!

If you are retiring permanently to take rest, fine, but tell us so. Don't keep a whole nation in suspense. Be bold and say that you are finished playing for Ghana.

He doesn't have to come back, this is Ghana, we have the youth who are ready to go. But we shall see if he will one day show interest in handling the Black Stars, and at such time we will look at his resume (including his behavior right now) and compare it to may be a local coach who played and served us truthfully and honestly. Think about 1978 Cup of Nations (both the players and the coaches were all local.

The injuries were not "career ending". If they were, he would not be playing football again. Career ending injury means an injury that ends the person's career. Essien is still playing professional football.

When are we going to see the end of all these?
It's no fun being told of Essien this,Essien that but let me say this,Essien may be the best footballer in the world or whatever,Ghana national team can do without him if only GhanaWeb and others in the media will instead rally round those dedicated and willing to serve mother Ghana with pride and dignity.
I have listened and read documentries about Micheal Essien and i can say with cetaintity that he's only Ghanaian by name so please let's forget about him.
Encourage those like the ones who won bronze medal in the just ended under 20s world cup.

Please focus on the current team and forget about Essien until Ghana qualifies for the world cup. The upcoming Zambian match needs ambitious players like the wakaso's and Assifua. We need committed guys who have never been to the world cup before not those who have seen it all. Simply put, we do not need Essien.

Let's follow the footsteps of Brazil and groom a youthful team for the future. The old players are now complacent as they approach retirement.Brazil does not beg old players to play for the national team.
