    Are we talking abt fitness or luck? Mr. Mensah and his blind followers.

  • Slimzay***The Unshakable Shaker*** 10 years ago

    KK, what is your definition of luck in this situation? How would you classified John Mensah's constant injury? Is that luck or lack of fitness? I will want you to come back and respond please.

    Will be waiting.

    Hey went to afcon13 and took half fit, injured players. In the end, we all saw wat happened. Aa won't learn. He will accept bribe from a sack of.potatoes and give it a blackstar jersey.....

  • Mr.N 10 years ago

    Luck and lack is the same because they all start with the letter L ha ha. John Mensah's problem is not about lack of fitness it about old age plain and simple. The bones are weak and no amount of Prophecy would bring back the ...

    Point accepted! 2008 AFCON was an example. We took some hidden unfitted players to that tournament and we paid a big time. When it was time for us to have defenders to back us up at the defense, couple of them were down since ...

    Always the truth hurt to heard and to be admitted, but it is the truth. What Tachie-Mensah was saying that selected players must pass a RIGOROUS fitness test would be the key for our success and progression. Because it is onl ...

    This is a no brainer.
    Thanks for emphasizing it.

  • FOYOOSIS 10 years ago

    This is a warning to the coach and his selection team to desist from inviting players who are bench warmers but are bent on signing new contracts just to make more money while infact, they're old-aged and injury prone.

    The ...

    Common sense dictates to every coach not to send injured players to play anywhere so Tachie Mensah, you have said nothing. Come up with something sensible!

  • Slimzay***The Unshakable Shaker*** 10 years ago

    Where was common sense when we needed it during 2008 AFCON in Ghana? If LeRoy did it what makes you think Appiah wouldn't repeat such a mistake. I think it is good for us to bring it back because as soon as that 23 players ar ...

    If you select players who haven't even played at least half the number of games per season.then expect them to get injured before or.during the Wcup. Must I explain my reasoning for saying this as well?..

  • Ghfuo, change ur thinking 10 years ago

    Aa sent injured players to afcon12,13. Gyan, annan, yiadom, Badu etc were all half fit and yet he carried them.to the tourney.

  • Mohammed Ibrahim 10 years ago

    Ghana Black Stars Coach Dr.James Kwesi Appiah must select only fit,and Players Playing Week-in,and Week-out for their Club.And Coach Kwesi Appiah should Prepare the Team very well for the World Cup in Brazil.

  • raskimo 10 years ago

  • KANE 10 years ago

    The GFA has turned the BLACK STAR team into a clique where the likes of Essen, Asamoah Gyan, John Mensah, John Boye, etc are all guaranteed selection regardless of their fitness, uselessness and good for purpose.

    These so- ...
