    Only KPB needs to join the team. Essien is rusty and done.He can't join the stars.Most of you calling for his inclusion do not watch soccer.He needs to retire .

    Essien and Muntari now are better than most of the players playing for Ghana currently.Wakasu, Badu, Jordan, Astu, Afriyie, Boye, Jonathan and Co can't be compared to Essien and Muntari though they are aged.
