    What of Richmond Boakye Yiadom?

  • No Nonesense 6 years ago

    I applaud Coach Appiah's effort to rebuild the next Blackstar team.I just don't see the point in the inclusion of Waris and Jordan.We all know the capabilities of Waris,the problem with him is his inconsistency.We need a reli ...

    jordan ayew yes i agree,cuz he is shit 2 the highest degree,waris still has fire in him

  • W.H.O 6 years ago

    See the useless selection he has made so call building team with majority are Akan people, why.

  • anokwale 6 years ago

    I also would have like Boakye-Yiadom but there must be a plan behind all this. I think by not bring Atsu or Wakasso he is sending a message....There are additional cuts to come. I sort of like the boldness.

  • Eugene 6 years ago

    Atsu is Ghana's best and most creative player atm. Most of our mid-fielders are rather industrious, not creative. Schlupp should be playing. He gives us width and he is a good outlet from the back.
    Gyan should only be used ...

  • musa 6 years ago

    Why is Richmond boakye yiadom not a Ghanaian? What at all has this guy done to you... He's on form and should have been part of team. If you ain't fair with your call ups, Gh will fail again... God is watching

  • NIPA YE BAD 6 years ago

    BOAKYE IS GOOD PLAYER,BUT HE IS NOT SERIOUS WHEN PLAYING,HE PLAY LIKE DOING FOR SOMEBODY,SWEET HEAD LIKE LADY.

  • ROGUE LAWYER 6 years ago

    Atsu and wakasu dont need any trial to book their names in the final squard, there are some players like andre Ayew, gyan, waris partey etc ,they are already doing well at club level .

  • Agbedefu 6 years ago

    Atsu and Wakaso are part of the team; I think Appiah wants to access a few more new guys without disturbing the hub of the team, that is why we also still have some of the big boys in.

  • W.H.O 6 years ago

    See the useless selection he has made so call building team with majority are Akan people, why Gyan is still in the team, somebody who in UAE and even his team don't like him now,

  • ROGUE LAWYER 6 years ago

    Am very happy with the goal keepers.very chosing one pew.

  • Odikro Mununkum 6 years ago

    Why dropped out Atsu and Wakaso if they are not nursing injuries. Atsu is in top shape now therefore to dropped him out of BS squad at the moment is baffling.

  • SAM 6 years ago

    Wakaso is a tireless & hardworking midfielder. Why is he out? Hmmm

  • SAM 6 years ago

    Pls drop Asamoah Gyan. He is just occupying space with his crap

  • Kwesi 6 years ago

    Atsu and Wakaso are among the best Ghana has right now. Atsu is probably the best player at the moment.

  • anokwale 6 years ago

    I like Atsu and Wakaso. At times they have been very good. However if I want to be honest with myself the time for them to have come through was in that semi-final against Cameroon at AFCON 2017. They simply did not come t ...

  • Mallam Zarki 6 years ago

    Atsu is our best player currently. Wakaso is the most hardworking player in our team. There is nothing about boldness in taking wrong decisions that will come to haunt you later. In any case, I will like to give the coach the ...

  • 4 Year Old 6 years ago

    Atsu is one of the best players currently. This wholesale untested players is evidence of Akwasi Appiah's lack of independence. He's always trying to please some people in the face of obvious catastrophe. What is Kwarasey doi ...

  • OSABERIMA 6 years ago

    Akwesi Appiah cant make up his own mind--always under pressure.
    Why do you think the same GFA that fired him brought him back? They wanna make money by naming their own squad. Appiah is just a front

  • nigel 6 years ago

    what kind of team is this why asamoah gyan i want to see new faces we need new players what is this

  • nigel 6 years ago

  • MENSAH ABRAMPAH 6 years ago

    JONATHAN MENSAH NEEDS TO BE SENT BACK TO COLUMBUS. THE GUY IS USELESS. WATCH ANY COLUMBUS CREW GAME AND HE IS DISGUSTING. DOESN'T DESERVE ANY NATIONAL TEAM, NOT EVEN BRUNEI OR HAITI.

  • GHANAIANS 6 years ago

    COACH KWASI APPIAH, JONATHAN MENSAH IS DONE. HE IS NO LONGER GOOD. IF YOU DON'T WANT ANY PROBLEM FROM WE THE GHANAIANS, THEN YOU MUST BE CAREFUL. DON'T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE USED BY THOSE, SELFISH AND GREEDY BASTARD NYANTEKYI ...

    Please don't forget Adu Kofi and Richmond B. Yiadom. Maybe they are nursing injuries.

  • Transparent 6 years ago

    Kwaswo Asamoah, Jeff Schulpp, Atsu, Boakye Yiadom. Easily 1st eleven starters. They all need to be in BS

  • Akonta 6 years ago

    Dropping Atsu and Wakaso shows that Kwasi Appiah does not know what he is doing. They are the best in the Black Stars and doing well in their clubs. What about Shluup? Kwasi Appiah will fail.

    These are the kind of moves that we need. Appiah is demonstrating that he has the guts to make some bold moves. We all love Atsu's work with the ball but at the end of the day he has rarely scored a critical goal against r ...

    gfa must desist from act of corruption and call up the right players at the right time...coach Akasi Appiah must not kowtow to their orders and work away from nepotism and make right choices for Ghana.

    Why do you keep inviting this good for nothing Jordan Ayew into the squad....is it because of his father?

    Well Done Coach Appiah.
    Ghanaians have cried for a long time with most of these old faces.
    Your 30 man squad is 'ayobalicious'
    Bravo!

    the absence of Atsu means an opportunity for Winful Cobbinah since he is the only one with tricks to unlock defense in this squad

    Yes is true that Boakye is on form but let's give KWASI the chance because this is his first call up.Also Alfred Duncan too is not here but they all on form.

    Where is this guy. Add him if you want success. Don't discount natural talent and experience.

    Call Samuel Tetteh. He is preferred over Dwamena

  • S.Owusu Varane 6 years ago

    you don't know what you ar saying,how many goals has Samuel Tetteh scored,go and check Raphael Dwamena performance.

  • me 6 years ago

    What at all can this Jordan Ayew offer ghanaians with his childish n unproductive style of play. I dont think far with his call up into black star

  • Fred Sarpong 6 years ago

    Coach Appiah, we need a potent striker in the likes of Rashford, Dele Ali or Sadio Mane. Please Jordan is not there. Gyan is old and a goal poacher is needed. Jordan doesn't fit that bill.
