As much we love Andre and wish him success, he is clearly becoming unmanageable within the Black Stars. Indiscipline is taking over and I think the coach's decision is a strong warning to all. Everybody should play by the rules. There are very talented ones like him.

WE MAY NEED A FULL TIME PSYCHOLOGIST FOR THE TEAM. THE BOY IS GOOD AT HIS GAME BUT EXPERIENCE SHOULD TEACH US THAT WITHOUT DISCIPLINE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SUCCEED.

Good explanation from the coach. It's good for the future of Andre as well, since it will enable him heal gradually wnd well. The healing process will not be forced as has been in the case of others in the past

Your statement shows how indisciplined you are. Coach Appiah is a wise and fearless individual who does not give a damned shit who the hell of a player you are .
He is all about discipline;that is how he was raised up: because discipline breed success,you idiot.
Keep your mouth shut. If he win the Cup it will be all well and good and if he is unable,so be it.
After all none of the competing nations is going to South Africa to just say hello to Nelson Mandela or blow the Vuvuzela horn.
Its about time National Team Coaches start "cracking up the whip of discipline"

The decision is good for Andre's future. He shd remember that the AFCON terrain had been a place where Essien for instance had caeer threatening injuries. Key players are seriously targeted and surely he would have been targeted by defenders if he had gone. In view of the risk to futher injury, I think that is a good decision. As much as it is a difficult decision, he shd save himself for the nation, his club and his own future.

What's good for Andre's football future is equally good for each of the players. I hope you're not suggesting that Andre should stay away from AFCON tournaments because of the risk of injuries. If his injury will affect his performance in south africa then it's a good decision to exclude him from the team. The tournament is intense and it's no place for half fit players. What is disturbing is his communication skills skills which often betray his arrogant spirit and unprofessional conduct. What's the name of the game he's playing with the coach this time? Andre is nowhere near classy Messi whose forte lies in his understanding of what it takes to wear the professional tag and his personal skills. Andre's expanding ego will end his career prematurely and faster than injury.

ANDRE IS JUST PLAYING GAMES WITH THE COACH AND GFA, BECAUSE HIS BROTHER WAS NOT SELECTED...POINT BLANK! THE GFA SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS ARROGANT YOUNG BOY TO HOLD THE NATION RANSOM. GHANA AND THE BLACK STARS ARE BIGGER THAN HIM AND HIS FAMILY. HIS DUMB FATHER SEEMS TO SUPPORT HIS UNDISCIPLINED SONS TO PLAY THESE UNPROFESSIONAL CHILDISH GAMES. WE DON'T NEED THEM. THEY WERE BOTH IN THE LAST AFCON AND WE DIDN'T WIN, SO WE CAN WIN OR NOT WIN WITH OR WITHOUT THEM. FUCK THESE PEPEFUO ILLITERATES.

I think the coach is is right. If Wed. is submission of list and you're reporting on that same day i think the boy is not serious. It is because his brother exclusion from the squad that makes him behave that way. He should note that Black Stars is not for the Ayews. It's ours.

Mike You are getting everything wrong. The player said he is injured so the coach and the team doctor have to assess him to be sure that he can recover before he can be selected. If he did not complain of any injury but presented a different excuse then the coach can look at his club form and give him automatic pass but not when he says he is injured. Anyway it's time to move on. let's allow the coach to do his job. If he fails he has to answer not us.

Why always bombarding Ayew with discipline? The statement from AA is just about compromised. Ayew planned to be there on Tuesday and the coach says no, where the indiscipline comes from. No player is bigger than a team but sometime some players makes difference. The only one with discipline is the Black Star fans but non of the players. Essie, Mutari and his mother, Asamoah Gyan (and his penalty), Kevin Boateng, the Ayew family, you name it. These kind of action doesn`t serve good purpose to the players.

You can send a disciplinary message to a player without dropping them..ie limited play time etc. Andre is an integral part of this team and on one on this forum can deny his commitment to junior and senior teams. You dont just drop such a critical player because of discipline. For all we know he doesnt trust the medical personal of the Gh team and NEEDED to see his personal doctor. Akwesi i hope you have more in your sleeves than just discipline because you've dropped the heart of the team!

Why blame the coach? In football,DISCIPLINE is very essential and he Ayew knows that at Marsseille. He is very good but it doesn`t mean he should not or cannot be disciplined.If he is the heart of the team,do you want to say Ghana should not go to South Africa if he is unfit.Look,there are 23 others who can equally do the game so don`t shoulder one too high.Just allow Akwesi Appiah to do his job. Whether we win or lose,it`s just football. Appiah was not there but we still lost in the 2010 WC and last year`s Nations Cup. What about if we win the Cup without Ayew? Would he be the heart,brain or the Ash?

Leo Messi has just annexed a fourth Ballon d'Or. Yes, he has had problems playing for his national side but it has never been a result of indiscipline.

I watched Ghana play Liberia in a friendly last year and it was a sore-sight to watch him walk past his Coach and engage the fourth official in an argument.

Lets be fair and pose this question: Will Dede be able to put up such arrogance if we had a foreign coach or perhaps if his legend Dad was at the helm?

We have played without stalwarts like Michael Essien and not performed badly. Similarly, the team will move on without Dede Ayew.

Bon Chance to the team and we wish Dede a speedy recovery.
