    Why is it so difficult to accept the fact that this guy's problem is not fitness but old age?

    Essien is not a 32 year old man but a 40 year old guy who cannot play with twenty something and teenagers anymore.

    Can you be ...

    That is so true, look at John Terry(34), Frank Lampard, D Drogba (37) playing at high level. Drogba was still playing at level last season at 36.

    It's the simple truth, Sammy but Ghanaians as deceitful and liars we are will insult. I worked with a mate of Essien who completed secondary school with him. He is younger than Essien but the chap is more than 37.

  • FUCK YOU ESSIEN 8 years ago

    The man obviously need a walking cane or a walker.This stupid selfish asshole though he could use our chance at the world cup to advertise himself instead of letting young healthy players play.

    YOUR HEADING SUGGESTS SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS.

  • Azonto 8 years ago

    How much more serious do you want it to be? Essien plays a match and requires a month to recover and you don't think it is serious??

    This story is cooked up by Sannie Diara and some GFA officials to discredit the name of the midfield Dynamo.

    APPIAH, JOHN MENSAH, PAINSTIL, ESSIEN ETC, GYAN SHOULD ALL GO BACK TO GH LG N PLAY THERE. THEY SHOULD BUY HALF THE CLUBS THEY JOIN N MAKE THEM BETTER AS PER EUROPE STANDARDS. THIS IS WAT THE BRASILIANS ARE DOING....

  • Nii Joromi 8 years ago

    Time for these old players to come and join our local clubs. At least attendance might go up due to their presence. They can't cheat nature forever and compete with some of the best players in the game.

    This man must realise,the soul is willing but the body is weak.
    He's past it and by forcing himself,he risks ruining everything achieved.

    There are so many things you can contribute to t ...
