FIFA regulation says his club must release him "AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT" and he was released far ahead of the 10 days dateline! For sure he was not late, stop this nonesense and get life!

He was released by the club according to FIFA rules. The coach asked him to leave with them to Spain but he chose to go back and play with his club and lost. Is this the good behaviour of a Captain? How about all those players who left their clubs to arrive in Spain in time for training?

So called vice chairman of the B.S should not inflame passion considering what the GFA took the nation through with B.S at the World Cup. Must you report anything that goes on at the Camp of B.S? when the coach has not asked you to? what a moron?

Remember when Appiah cut him before AFCON 2013 and people said Appiah was too harsh. I love Dede but I think players have to be real and understand that coming and preparing for AFCON is important. If that is not clear to the club then maybe that is not a club to play for.

You're confused Dede & Jordan boycotted the 2013 in South Africa.The wrong aspect of the story is Dede is not the official Deputy skipper of BS.

It was because they wanted to cut him off and include those that paid bribe. The same thing is happening, they know if Ayew start the games Atsu or one of their players will have to be on the bench, so they want to start criticising him to prepare the ground for the coach to drop him from the starting 11. The boy arrived on the 7th, 10 days before the tournament according to FIFA regulation . Dont try to throw dust into our eyes. We are smarter than that. Mounter will get you.Corrupted people

If the article is true, and if Avram Grant really wants to instill discipline, he should wait for proper offence before punishing his key player or any player for that matter. What did Dede do wrongly this time? Should he have snubbed his club when it was not yet FIFA deadline to release players? Has Grant not been a club coach before? Or during his short spell at chelsea and the other teams he didn't face this situation from the other side-from the club standpoint? He should be careful. The players are intelligent. They do not fear any coach, they will play for you but if you start victimizing their key figures for wrong reasons, the best you can achieve is a divided team. Be warned,coach. The boy took a chattered flight to the camp base just after his club game, and you meet him with reprimand? Is Grant that naive? I'm surprised. I hope this is not true!

I just hope this is not true, but if it is, Mr. Grant should be careful. It is better for him to start on a positive footing with all his key players and get the maximum possible results. It is a fact of life: when you touch the key figures for the wrong reasons, when you victimize them for no offence committed, the others see the injustice, and they rally behind them, and many of the players start developing apathetic attitudes: they don't give their maximum best. At best, you get a divided team. It appears he wants to instill discipline, but the old adage still stands: "if it aint broke, don't fix it", meaning, wait till he or anyone else commits a proper offence before you start disciplining them, and the whole nation will applaud you for being a "no-nonsense" coach. What did you want the boy to do in this case? Snub his team when deadline for releasing players by FIFA was not yet up, and the team had every right to demand his services? Do you know what sanctions he would have faced from his club? And what did he miss anyway from that black stars camp by coming a day later, at that date anyway? Tactics? What? I am always appalled when people always think that everything should fit in a straight line and everyone is the same, regardless of the fact that people's situations are always different. Why can't people be a little flexible? God certainly is, so why not we, in His image?

Africans in general have problem following simple rules. They don't even follow simple road signs. If for sure he's late then he deserves to be discipline.

He had a match with his club what do you mean he direspected YOU?We do not need a BOSS we need a matured coach get it>grant my advise to you if you can read english is to treat this boys with RESPECT,they are MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU,so stop the bullshit intead of any rush stupid decision have a word with any one that comes late without a reason and give each player at least 3 strikes before you call that a disrespect.Why punish a first time late comer and call it disrespect,are you an intelligent man?Any reasonable coach would give this boys a chance and not to jump for a punishment as a first offender.Let me tell COACH this boy DEDE AYEW is 100 percent important to GHANA than you so watchout and I pray ypu read this if you can read and stop listening to GFA leaders to avoid making bad judgement

Ghana does not pay Ayew but his club so if his feam needs him, he cannot refuse to go. How much is Ghana paying the Black Star players?

It looks like some players and management of the Black Stars are swift to talk about non-essential matters like this particular one but lack the guts and courage to testify in very important issues when they are given the opportunity. This present matter of Ayew being reprimanded for late arrival is not worth the time and space for publication. Let's talk about more IMPORTANT matters on this forum!
