  • mensah abrampa 9 years ago

    I can understand your anger and frustration. Some of the contributors on this forum under-rate the prowess of Gyan as a striker. They argue, though incoherently that Asamoah Gyan was snubbed by CAF for the 2014 best footballe ...

    Tony did not even write about Asamoah Gyan. He deviated and settled on his personal issues with some of the contributors. He doesn't know any of the facts you just posted. Trust me.

  • Kwasi Asante , Providence, R.I. 9 years ago

    I second your contribution. Gyan is not a world class striker. When he played in England he could not score that many goals; because he played with great players.
    He is brilliant by African standard but not world class.

    Pathetic Ghanaians. You would be hailing him if he were white. You are your own worst enemies.

    I don't hail just for hailing sake. I call a spade a spade. I love Gyan both on the field and off the field. I love his music too.
