Every player has their peak and decline periods. Foreign born players do no chose Ghana in their prime because they've seen the movie before. No great Ghanaian player, not even Pele retired a happy man.
They know that a time will come when they deep in form, there, they become an enemy to Ghanaians.
Ghanaians are the real problem. Why can't we have a clear and respectful way to say goodbye to players the way professional European clubs do?
If for nothing at all, Dede is the captain, besides, his form is exponentially above Kamaldeen, Nuamah, Salis and Edmund. WHAT THEN WAS THE CRITERIA FOR THE SNUB. I think its the right call for the coach to explain because that goes a long way to affect commitment players in camp, knowing they can be treated the same.
We call it a bluff when foreign-born players refuse Ghana. There's no bluff in that, cos we're only worth the chaff.

If you can read listen , every coach has the right to decide which players should be in his team . If Chris Houghton decided to call Dede when he had no team ,that was his decision and we accepted it . Another coach comes in and he says l don't need you what's the problem .

People who really think that if we drop 2 or 3 "old players" that blackstars can go back to the glory days of old have no clue how football works! Question: Why didnt ghana win afcon in in 2006 when dede and jordan werent eve on the team but Michael Essien, Gyan and Stephen Appiah in their primes? Why does Ghana have only very very few international stars compared to west african neighbours, Ivory Coast, Cameroon or Senegal? Somehow our neighbours manage to have several big players that emerge out of their countries every single year whilst ghana have 1 big player once in a decade???? Abedi pele was a very big player by international standards then there wasnt anyone until essien 10 or 15 years later and now Kudus also 15 years later! The answer is simple.Other nations have long overtook ghana in developing good players and its also Ghanaians stupid pasdion for the English premer league that is not good league for africans at all but ghanaians know nothing other than that stupid oil money invested shit league from england. They use and dump young talented africans like they change underwear but rate their own talentless english lads such as jack grealish, mason mount harry maguire as if they belong amongst the worlds best and kerp those shit players for many years in the team! Believe me Ghana have no chance against the french nations for as long as that stupid epl woreship continues. Remember the great blackstars from 2010? How many of them have been playing in the Epl?

Bro, you sound so dumb and ignorant. Sit your ass somewhere with that long ass thesis. No one is saying dropping 2 or 3 old players can get us to the good old glory days! Empahatically NO! It is a process of building a great and a winsome team. Secondly, Ghana will never lack talent so shut up with the BS! We have good pool of players all over the globe and not just the premiership.

@Weed smoker , you said Abedi Pele was the only big star in Ghana for a decade ? Are you sure of this ? Tony Yeboah was a top top player in the Bundesliga. We watched FOOTBALL MADE IN GERMANY every Saturday on our black and white TVs. He was a leading scorer in all Bundesliga on occasions. Then he moved to another league EPL and joined Leeds . Tony Yeegola is a legend in Leeds because of the goals he scored . One of his many goals is still on show as at now .Abedi did great for BS and OM but you can't say he was the only big player. Infact that notion caused massive division in the BS for years till Stephen Appiah , Essien and Co era.

You have been asking this question for quite some time and l am here to answer you. Last time you asked about what Dede Ayew has achieved as a player that Gyan and now Abedi.

Dede Ayew is the only player in the history of Africa, who captained Ghana to win Africa u-20 and world cup not even Abedi achieved that. Asamoah Gyan my friend, won no cup for Ghana at any level. At Senior Dede was and still Ghana's top scorer in Afcon.

Abedi Ayew Pele won Afcon for
Ghana, won champion's league and he was three times Africa player of the year.

I hope now you will know, let us learn to respect people's achievements.

Ghanaians are allergic to positive change, few months ago the whole media were on the neck of Christ Huton and the Ayews. Now we have a new coach who politely said Dede should sit back, where from all this nonsense, why always people want to generate needless controversies in this country, casemero have have been excluded in Brazil, what has happened. It's up to the FA to sit down with Dede Ayew to agree on favorable terms. Otto Addo cannot blame here.

@Weedsmoker '" Abedi Pele was a very big player by international standard then.There wasn't anyone until Essien 10 or Kudus 15yrs later'".

I can tell you for a fact that BS had a great team with big players all over . Check the 1992 squad , Tony Bafoe,Isaac Asare, Gargo, Stanley Aboraa,Sarfo Gyamfi, Opoku Nti, Abedi, Tony Y, Prince Polley . BS had the best squad , but they could not achieve anything because of divisiveness, Captaincy fights, selfishness etc.
Let's see the local players who gave us solidity at the back and never panicked. No back pass then.
Edward Ansah ,Damba, F Manso, K Appiah, E Armah, J Tex, F Armankwaa, Shamo, A Kumah , Sammy Adjei, Y Acheampong etc.
This squad was far better than the 2006 WC squad, but S Appiah leadership qualities made the difference. Appiah saw all the senior players as leaders whilst for Abedi everything was about him only.

14th April ,1993 , Germany vrs Ghana in a friendly in Bochum stadium . Before the match , Abedi who was our captain was a doubt . Tony Yeboah ,who was a top player in the Bundesliga was made the Captain since the match was being played in Germany and Abedi probably not coming. Eventually BS had a boost and our Captain Abedi came before the match. The confusion that engulfed the BS in camp that night hmmmm. That single act damaged our football for a decade . Imagine a friendly between England and Ghana to be played in London , and Essien or anybody is made the Captain , and S Appiah comes in late , that will be no issue . Because anyone can be made the Captain

Not getting old, but getting ineffective and a big liability. We have some old players who still deliver for their teams. This Dede guy, on the contrary, just 2 minutes of getting on the field he's already panting and sweating off his bald head. He just shows up to argue with every decision of the referee supported by his brother Jordan.

He disrupts the rhythm of play and costs us matches. How many people didn't start screaming with disbelief when the last coach introduce him in our last AFCON match. We all saw his "contribution". Why do we think Kudus and this same Saddick were disappointed with the result of that match?

If he was a boxer, we won't care, we'll leave him to continue until he gets his brains knocked out of his head. Deontay Wilder is being prevailed on to retire. He thought he still had something to give but after getting beaten badly he's now accepting the need to retire. But this is OUR team, not a personal sport, so why are we even debating this matter? He should accept the coach's or go to court.

Why are people so engrossed in Dede not being called for these 2 encounters, when in fact according earlier report Otto spoke with Dede, Odoi and Amartey about his plans going forward. In any case if in the past when he Dede was down without a club and was favoured, it doesn't necessarily mean he must be in now that he's playing regularly, the Coach has a project to build, and if in hs assessment certain blocks are not needed at this time, let's allow him and support him to succeed instead of crying wolf, where there's none
