   @Terry Arkle,you are a big joke!Have you even kicked a ‘tselensa’ ball before let alone play in a five aside game before playing on a pitch with about 30,000 plus crowd roaring.You will even pass out.
   Great performance from Gyan and i agree with Abedi that Gyan will be boosted by this feat and move on to Europe to become a great player.This is coming from a player who has been there and done that and not some ‘common floor’ members who come on here and post crap!

     30,000 plus crowd? When was the last time Gyan played in front of 30,000 plus in domestic football? Not for Al Ain. They get 5,000 at best.
     Ghana fans don’t know what they want with Gyan. He came to England as Africa’s brightest star, then went to a substandard league for obscene money. He has done well in a very poor league, but as soon as Ghana fans showed any sort of negativity towards him after his less than impressive African Cup showing, he refused to play for Ghana again. Pele may think he can come back to Europe and shine, but not one European team has shown an interest in him.

       Gyan has played in Udinese and the Stadio Friuli and then at Rennais at the Route de Lorient stadium all above 30,000 seater.
       You are a big joke to say no European team has shown interest in him.Sunderland officials have gone to watch his games and held many series of talks with his agent and on loan club to even buy him back out of loan.He is the one not willing to return.He is at least better than Bendtner and has shown his goal scoring prowess;scored on his debut in England in a Sunderland shirt and managed to bang in 13 goals in a mediocre team like Sunderland very very average players except a few.Why do you think Darren Bent,Kewyn Jones ad now Gyan wanted to leave abruptly?Sunderland news a total overhaul and i admit Oneil is doing a good job but yet they are struggling to hold on.
       Gyan has many offers coming in from France,England,and Turkey.Gyan will definately be playing in England and Everton is an option.Drenthe is certainly not needed by Moyes after his loan spell and they need a goal poacher.Remember Bruce dolled out a record 13million pounds to get Gyan and that was a club record.Gyan moved because Nial Quinn gave the green light so stop all the negative propaganda.

         Exactly, Gyan played in front of 30,000 people 2 seasons ago. He is now happy to play in front of 5000 people. Show me one story that says any European teams have shown an interest in him. This website usually has plenty of Gyan stories, but i dont recall ever seeing him linked with a “big club”. Where will Everton get the money to buy Gyan? They cannot afford anyone, even the chairman says so, http://www.caughtoffside.com/2011/08/18/bill-kenwright-banks-will-not-let-everton-spend-any-money/.
         If you really think playing in the UAE will make Gyan a better player you are more clueless than i thought. Look at the top scorers from the past 5 seasons. Andre Senghor, Jose Sand, Fernando Baiano, Faisal Khalil, Anderson. None of them are deemed good enough for anything other than UAE league. Gyan scoring goals in that league is not impressive, and is not improving his game at all. Of course Sunderland officials go to watch Gyan, they go to watch all of their players they have out on loan.

           Never said and dont put words into my mouth that Gyan playing in the UAE is a prudent decision.I only said you are making a lot of fuss over the who issue as if they play marbles there or as if he is going to spend his entire career there.The goals he has scored per game ratio is certainly a confident booster for him and i think he needed that.Now don’t forget Gyan decides for himself and your own opinion’s does not come first but his because it is his life.
           Yes,there are offers coming in and i cannot readily give you those sites to check them up but the fact that you have not seen any on this site does not mean there is none.Clueless?I think you are the one who has no clues on the subject at hand.
           I know Sunderland faithfuls are still bitter about the way Gyan left but you should blame Nial Quinn and that pot belly Bruce.

   @James i guess you did not read the full article in the web address you posted.
   Yes Everton’s finances are not right but the chairman Bill Kenwright has options to finance new arrivals.
   The club may be forced to sell some of their current stars to finance any new arrivals or work in the loan and free agent market.
   I quote the chairman ”We’ve not been able to trade yet and that’s the reason that we’ve not bought in a new player.”
   In any case whether Gyan goes to Everton or not,he is certainly returning to a top league in Europe.And who says England is the yard stick ?

     They then sold Arteta for £10m and were told they couldn’t spend that. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jan/10/everton-tottenham-david-moyes?newsfeed=true

    Jesse, I wasnt trying to put words in your mouth, if Gyan needs to play in a poor league to give him a confidence boost, then he must not be a very good player. He should be getting confidence from showing his skills on a world stage. How do you know offers are coming in, there is as much proof in me saying there are not offers coming in, as there is in you saying there are. You are happy to go and make facts up to try and support a player who does not want to play for Ghana because supporter expectation makes his life too hard for him. He has given every indication he wants to stay in the UAE.
    I am not really bitter about him leaving Sunderland. He was a very very good player for us at times, his performance up front with Welbeck against Chelsea (3-0 at Stamford Bridge) was one of the best i have seen, he was highly thought of in England, so as a career move, i found it strange he would want to go there when he is reaching the peak of his footballing ability. You can blame Quinn and Bruce, but nobody forced Gyan to go there.
    Can you tell me that when Gyan first moved to Al Ain, you thought that it would make him a better footballer? Playing against defenders like Vidic, Terry, Kompany, will teach him how to play against the best in the world, he can transfer this to Ghana and pass on the knowledge to younger players to give the Black Stars an exciting future. Playing against Jumaa Abdullah, Waheed Ismail, and Yaser Al-Juneibi will not give him any extra experience than he would have got playing on a computer game! If you could chose to learn from someone who plays against Vidic and co every week, or someone who plays against Al-Juneibi, who would you pick. Surely his Ghanaian international team mates don’t respect his decisions?

    Well you made some sense mate but all i am saying is that Gyan’s decisions are entirely his and lets respect it.
    Personally i did not like the move but one thing you Europeans don’t realize is that as an African football star,playing outside there is a weight of responsibility from family and friends once you are playing professional and like the old adage Gyan maybe wants to ‘make hay while the sun shines”.The money Al Ain was offering was good compared to the meager wage he was earning at Sunderland and all the taxes that came with it.Bendtner came and was earning more.You can call Gyan a money lover but who will not want to have a pay rise.We watch football to entertain but it is also a job for those playing and at the end of the day,these players have mouths to feed and things to take care of.I remember Gyan saying he took this decision with his family and let just respect it.

      I understand they are his choices, and if im being honest, if someone came and offered me a sack load of cash to do the same job im doing somewhere more exotic, i would do it. We dont really know the wage at Sunderland, im guessing around 40k a week, thats without sponsor deals etc. Still quite a lot, and if thats meagre to you, can i come and work where you work! Bendtner may have been earning more, but that may have been subsidised by Arsenal, we can’t pay a loan player less than his agreed contract with his parent club. At the end of the day Jesse, we don’t really know what goes on behind closed doors with the player and clubs involved. I’ve quite enjoyed the debate, but its really just us speculating on things.It remains to be seen if it makes him a better player. I like Ghana’s national team, Sunderland have a quite strong link with Ghana and I like them to do well, so i hope for all your fans sake this does make Gyan better.
      Honest question, i know Gyan was injured for the African Cup, but how was his over all performance? Was there a noticable improvement in his game? Did he do things he hadn’t done before?

    The fact that you acknowledge Gyan was injured prior to the tournament and played through pain means that should have a bearing in his overall performance.To judge his performance then by this would mean one is not being fair.With all those setbacks he still managed a goal and held unto his own upfront.Most times Gyan is deployed alone upfront and most times has to battle aerial balls with more physical defenders that usually play the African cup.This would certainly be a hard task for any player.In any case like i have said,i cannot rate his performance because he was nursing an injury.At least he did something i have not seen him do before answering your question and that is bending a free kick over the wall and into the net!
    Your criticisms are spot on and you argue well too.Nice to have you comment on here and i would want to see more of your post on the many issues and captions on this site so we can have such healthy debates.What is your take on my answer?All the best!

      Jesse, i wrote quite a detailed answer, that hasnt posted for some reason. I agree we cant judge him on an injury hit tournament. Playing as a lone forward is hard, but playing teams like Stoke with physical defenders will help him learn to use defenders strengths against them, and exploit their weaknesses, this can be transfered to international football. In UAE i doubt he gets an overly physical game, but i might be wrong, its hard to see more than 1 minute of highlights.
      The free kick was good, but not as good as his goal against England. That proved that a fit, happy and top of his game Gyan is a force to be reckoned with. I’m just worried that the lack of a “challenge” in UAE will mean that he will be become complacent and that goal against England was as good as it will get for Gyan.

        Well i agree on the points raised but for now we only wait for his loan spell to be over.Then for a surety i know he i will be out of UAE.Honestly i would be one of those pro Gyan posters on here to bash him if he decides to stay on after his loan spell because that will mean doom for the lad.I have known Gyan personally from high school and i watch him rise to play in the national team.He certainly has this lethal side that is yet to be unleashed and i know that Gyan himself knows to compete with the best,he has to play in the elite leagues so come June,he will make the right decisions.I think 5 matches to go in the UAE league(stand to be corrected)and he should be back in England with Sunderland.He certainly will be sold and i know that for sure.Signing off,i think the lad needs encouragement rather than all the bashing because very one has some short comings.Through the years i learn not to criticize people for their actions because you might not know what caused them to do what they did but we can only encourage and pray for God himself loves us even with all the wrongs that people do.

    Don’t hold your breath on that happening Abedi, Gyan made the decision alone with his family and he needs to take responsibility of his own actions. He underestimated Sunderland doing so well after he left and didn’t think of the consequences he will face if he decided to come back.

    Well, i can’t see Sunderland taking him back, he will surely be sold but can’t see him returning to the English Premier League.

    @JAMES- Xcellent submissions! it takes vision 2 understand u n dis is wat we r missing . Adebayor @ MONACO, Ba & Cisse @ Hoffenhiem & Frieburg n Eto’o of espanyol all earned dis meagre of pay. Der’s a point in life wen we dnt tink abt money but the way 2 upgrade our skills in a beta way 4 marketing. It’s 4rm dis point dat money bcams a priority… but also circumspecting measures of sustaining/impro-ving d quality in u. The difference btn GYANS choice and d others is dat, he made it by sight, whiles d others did it wit VISION. Whiles he chose 2 Twilight , the others chose 2 b in d Limelight. The mammon is the one who chases money, whiles the JEWEL is the one dat money chases. If u see shola AMEOBI , Victor moses and even ADEBAYOR (in his challenging times @ city) rejects several of dis GULF deals, it bcos they’ve got +ve dreams- they r determined 2 live legacies. Thumps up 2 the ETOO’s, DROGBA’s n etc 4 bringing so much value 2 dis wonderful continent. They did it b’tifully after d Abedi’s , D Weah’s, d sunday’s, d OKOCHA’S etc. U r d TRUE LEGENDS!

      You live in self denial D-Light and that is your problem.Talk is cheap!
      You always mention names and comparing people.Shola Ameobi is not better than Gyan.A player who chooses to play for another country other than his own country is certainly not worth mentioning.You have said a lot of nonsense again and only made sense at the tail end of your post.The Drogbas,Eto’s and the weahs are a beacon of hope for African but well Weah also never played a world cup.Gyan has two world cups under his belt.In any case,there can be one Eto,one Weah,one Gyan of course.Make points as they come and stop comparing players because then you will not be making sense because every player has his short comings one way or the other!Etoo has won many African best player and i agree but on one occasion we clearly saw he got it because of the french factor in CAF.I dont have the time to take player to player but like i said speak to the point rather than all the names!
