    YOU ARE DEAD RIGHT KUFFUOR

  • Mr.N 11 years ago

    Essien's case comes to mind when he was misdiagnosis of his injure in the 2010 AFCON in República de Angola. I know the wolf in sheep's clothing would come here and start attacking. It common sense to call the player's doct ...

  • POW, Walewale Naaba ba 11 years ago

    This is a pure administrative issue and Kuffour is clearly saying things he's not investigated to know the truth. He's just speculating based past issues period. There's no way Dede would've have come down without any discuss ...

    You really sound dumb. What have you been smoking?

  • POW, Walewale Naaba ba 11 years ago

    And what do you suck? What tangible explanation have you put across? You only came here to insult me and leave? I don't blame you. After all what sense should I expect from a riffraff who's had access to a computer? Trash

  • WORST FA IN THE WORLD 11 years ago

    Only the desperate players would put their careers in the GFA medical team, and the current Ghana coach.

    Furthermore, they have been plotting to mess Dede up anyway. What a bunch of nobodies. FOOLS.

    Ghana ain't going to ...

    IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE GHANA ,YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT KUFUOR IS SAYING.ONE THING OUR GHANAIN DOCTORS CAN DO WELL IS TO FUCK PEOPLE WIVES

  • SHADY BLUE niagara falls, ontario 11 years ago

    IF A PLAYER KNOWS HE/SHE IS INJURED, BUT IS BEING FORCED TO PLAY BY THE MEDICAL STAFF. THEN THE PLAYER MUST TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF, PERIOD!

    NO ONE IS DISPUTING THE FACT THAT DEDE ISNT INJURED. ALL WE WANT IS FOR HIM TO SHOW UP SO THE GBSTAR DOCS CAN SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES. THEY HAVE PROVIDED A TICKET 1ST CLASS FOR YOU TO COME. IS THAT TOO DIFFICULT TO ASK FOR? THE ...

    ITS A CONSPIRACY.NEMESIS WILL SOON VISIT THEM. CORRUPT GFA.

  • Yaw 11 years ago

    Kuffour this is too much. Why should the coach include a player whose fitness he is not sure of. The best option is to include players who are fit.

  • Sammy the Sheriff 11 years ago

    Kuffour is wrong. You should have talked to me before ranting like this nephew. AYEW just did not want to join this team without his brother.

    Ayew supposedly could not report to Blackstars on Monday the 7th because he was ...

    Well spoken, TUGAH. I think the technical team already wanted Dede out of the team. It is very sad.

    If Kuffuor has nothing wise to contribute he should simply shut up. Empty barrels make the most noise.

  • Sony kwei 11 years ago

    I think using Asamoah Gyan and llliasu in your argument is enough evidence for Ayew exclusion. That is if it is true that he is injured. Kuffour l say no for this one
