@Tk, use your brain man, players have always been added but not players who think we (Ghana) are only an option when they have nowhere else to turn.

D Boateng please eduucate us. How much value did you bring to the BS (GOALS AND ASSISTS). DB was a bench player. You talk too damn much.

Here we go again!! Ghana has qualified for the world cup, so it is time to press the self-destruct button, as usual. And it is amazing the calibre of people to stoke the trouble for the Black Stars. Nii Lantyee Vanderpuye is well known for his contribution to Ghana football, yet see him busily cooking the demise of the Black Stars even before the first world cup match is played. This is Ghana for you. But I think that Derrick Boateng has made an honest observation, and all those who have ears had better listen!!

WE DO NOT NEED HUDSON-ODOI AND NKETIAH! Do you think if England came calling, Odoi and Nketiah will opt to play for Ghana instead? They will not! Besides these 2 players had one good game each in recent memory, and we take them to the WC because of that? If that's case we should just forget about the WC! It will take better consistency, commitment and skills than that!!

Yes they snubbed Ghana, fine, butt now do we need them or not to make our team better? That is the question no one wants to answer. For me we need them if the current players and management want them in.

Derrick needs to look back in 2010 how Kelvin Boateng inclusion made a great difference to the team. How many times before Salisu accepted to play for Ghana? Or Nketia and Odoi are Nigerians? The same way Quincy Abeyie was sabotaged in the but he was one of the best players. Else every country looking for best players to represent the National teams. Why even Nigeria is complaining against Dr Congo ? Pls back off such statement immediately and apologize to Ghanaians. Did Otto Addo played any qualifies before his inclusion? Pls back off

@Ketteku, first of all, Kevin Boateng didn't initially reject Ghana and only turned up when he realised that we had qualified for the world cup - he made Ghana his first choice. Secondly, Hudson-Odoi and Eddie Nketiah are nowhere near Kevin's calibre, he was much better than these two put together. Thirdly, even if Salisu initially rejected our calls (which I don't remember), he didn't eventually come running only after we qualified for the world cup - we have been through the journey of qualifying all along with him

Yes, it makes sense. Because they are good so they can pick and choose. If you are alidu seidu or some bench ear.er you can't pick and choose like that you don't have that leverage

Ghana needs a strong and winsom team. K.P. Boateng's addition to the 2010 Black Stars paid off. Let's add Hudson-Odoi and Eddie Nketia. Even the prodigal son was accepted by His father.

This is an issue of choice and the consequences that follows. Will their inclusion benefit the current Stars set up or not? What if one or two forward strikers(currently in the team)sustain an injury prior to or during the WC games? Do we have equally capable replacement players? I do understand the arguments being made from both sides, but it's better to think and plan ahead.

Odoi and Nketiah are not adding anything to the Black Stars .I have watched Nketiah all his days at Arsenal and now Palace . He' s being given few minutes here and there . He has become heavy and too rusty . When Ghana failed to qualify for the Afcon , why didn't they show up? Now opportunity has presented itself so Nii Lante thinks he can be their PR speaking on every platform for them .Nketiah wants to be our Super sub. Otto please don't let anyone put pressure on you be it the prez or who . Go with what you have decided already. We will invite them for the next Afcon.Football is played with the heart for a country or a team not emotional .
