Yea, the truth is this guy has a huge talent and great potentials. All he needs is discipline, humility and hard work, both on field and off field. Best wishes.

The truth that Atsu is good but his skills are not meant for a team like Chelsea that does believe in good football

Tell me who in Chelsea is more talented than Atsu? Nobody. The only thing Atsu lacks is experience because he is young and is being tossed up and down. Unlike Kwadwo Asamoah, Atsu is bold and won't hesitate to show his talent unless he is suppressed by the usual racists.

Osei, you just right! I'm sure Nimoh actually wanted to say Chelsea does not believe in nice soccer. The truth is currently, he is the most gifted playmaker Ghana has.

Atsu needs more development and I think Roberto Martinez sees a gem that needs a little polishing to attract the right price. Hopefully Everton invests knowledge and patience in this guy, in order to see his full potential. In my estimation, the best place to be as an upcoming talent, is steam that believes in you.

The last time I checked, Kwadwo Asamoah,who is not much older than Atsu,had a permanent home at Juventus FC! I have a lot of admiration for black talent in football today,particularly that which emerges from our part of the world! I was elated when that 'little wizard' on the England`s squad,Rahim Sterling was handsomely rewarded with a 400% weekly pay raise[from 30k to 120k pounds] only a couple of days ago.
I hope African FAs will quit their greediness and refrain from making our continent the object of international ridicule and shame! That will certainly boost the market value of our own black talent and enable them overcome the prejudices they can do without,so they can focus on their promising careers!

When you have a coach who cannot select his best starting eleven and Kees on experimenting what can you expect from the players? Don't blame the players, blame the coach , AA

for now he is a 'WORK IN PROGRESS'.he has great qualities- good feet,pace and skills but his end-product needs polishing. he needs a good manager to polish him and to give him more confi. GOOD LUCK TO HIM

Yes, he is a dazzle to watch. But, then again his finishings were mostly shaky and terrible at most.

Kwame Ampa, whether Atsu is an Ewe or not, who cares? We are only talking about his talent as a football player. He is a Ghanaian and we should wish our countrymen all the best, no matter what tribe they hail from. Atsu is going somewhere. You are not going anywhere! You will be sitting at your computer posting dumb messages and ten year from now your old senile self will be wondering where time went!!

Secondly, I don't think Ewes need your approval to be successful.

He was the player that was tormenting the German defence and would have created a goal for Ghana until the clueless coach took him out of the game.Good prediction from the legend Barnes.Kudos Atsu.
