    Asamoah gyan is so jealous of dede ayew.whether you like it or not dede captained black satellite to win the world cup for Ghana. You haven't given Ghana even a copper before. Shut up

    NO COACH IN HIS RIGHT MIND WOULD HAVE CHOSEN GHYAN OVER ANTHONY YEBOAH AT THEIR PRIME..
    ANY SELECTION WITHOUT THE THRIO IS RUBBISH
    ESSIEN
    ABEDI
    SAMMY TUGA

  • GH8 1 month ago

    Exactly, Gyan scored more goals than Tony Yeboah and is not as if Yeboah won any titles that you can use as basis to rate him ahead of Gyan. So yes Gyan will always be ahead of Yeboah in the all time scoring greats of Ghana.

    Joe Odio is one of my best full backs of all time. He was an excellent centre half too. Joe Tex he is known as. The second Joe Tex in Ghana football.

    Tony Yeboa is far better than gyan. No doubt.

    Dede Ayew is very good but can never be among the best 40 as his luck at the big occasions is bad, He caused the team a lot of harm by his actions just like his Dad.
