The Karsiyaka player has been placed on a three-man stand-by list to be unveiled by the Serbian coach when the squad is released on Thursday.
Experienced goalkeeper Richard Kingson was also dropped from the final squad to be officially unveiled during Thursday’s press conference.

Other key players are Derek Boateng, Agyemang Badu, Andre Ayew, Sulley Muntari, Kwadwo Asmaoah, Asamoah Gyan and Prince Tagoe.

i dont want to believe this, however if i have my way, i will sacrifice Lee Addy for Jo Ayew. Name P. Tagoe just pisses me!!!!
thanks a lot about your comment pertaining to Tagoe.
I still just do not get it. I get sick when his name is mentioned. he is just a waste of space in the field with the BS, when are we going to realize that?
who will agree that the following list of players would have made ghana invisible if only we had some of them:
1. daniel agyei
2. daniel opare
3. asamoah gyan
4. essien
5. john mensah
6. emmanuel frimpong
7. danny welbeck
8. agyemang badu
9. balotelli
10.kwadwo asamoah
11.muntari
12.david addy
13.andre ayew
14.vorsah
15.jonathan mensah
16.razak brimah (gk)
17.inkoom
18.ransford osei
19.adiyiah
20.quincy owusu abeyie
21.jordan ayew
22.kwarasey
23.kevin prince boateng
where is Jordan Ayew? This coach does not know what he is doing.Derek Asamoah is playing in an inferior Korean league and has been called,Prince Tagoe is a bench warmer in the Turkish league and has been called, even Sulley Muntari who is not part of the first 18 players of Inter has been called but Jordan Ayew who plays in the fifth toughest league in the world is not called.I think Jordan made a mistake by opting to play for GHANA. Jordan Ayew would have been a key member for the French national team had he opted to play for France. It is only in GHANA PRINCE TAGOE, DEREK ASAMOAH,AND SULLEY MUNTARI at this time would be selected for a major tournament like the AFCON ahead of a better player like Jordan Ayew.GOD save us all.
I understand what u are saying boss, but Jo Ayew dug his own grave and this is why… Before his brother Dede Ayew became prominent in ghana football selection he sacrificed at the junior level, Dede played every under 20 qualification game for ghana and didn’t miss any tournament game, he reponded with passion when ever ghana called unlike Jordan who chose to turn down most of ghana’s call at the under 20 level including critical under-20 world cup qualification games which can arguably be state that it contributed to our failure to qualify for the world tournament after we had won it just previously. He has to realize that he need to earn is way and playing for ghana dosen’t require talent alone but also commitment, passion, respect and altimately character…
well Tagoe issue hmmm ,Tagoe proof ur self to us that u r a good striker ahhba..Jordan i think they made mistake he should get him we need him in the squard
These reports are speculations.
If the FA President doess not even know da list how on Earth will those of us know.
I am waiting till 15th.
What is happening to Adiyiah ? Is he finished ? Hmmmmm

Plss don’t compare players here,you talk n write for your interest. Beg let allow the coach to do his job,cos in your office,you all know better than anyone. Let RESPECT THE COACH DECISION
i will be suprise if JORDAN doesnt make it to the nations cup
I am surprised that Kingson was even mentioned in the squad. Earlier on, Plavi made it clear that any player not attached to a team will be dropped.
Please remove Tagoe’s name from the list because I don’t know what he is going to do over there. He is a waste and I dont know why he is still among of the final list. Where is Jodan Ayew? This chap is good and has to be given the chance to justify his inclusion.
the list on ghanasoccernet has 18 players so lets wait for the full list my fellow countrymen
Derick Asamnoah has come of age but Prince Tagoe needs to prove himself. Where is Jordan Ayew?
Jordan?
Chris Dickson Chris Dickson Chris Dickson Chris Dickson Chris Dickson you are best all striker
striker striker striker
Chris Dickson, the next BIG thing. Watch Out!!!!
CYPRUS
Chris Dickson scored the winner for Nea Salamis in a 3-2 win over Aris
Jordan needs to be called otherwise Mathew Amoah should be called ahead of Tagoe.
Jordan Ayew must be in the squad. Tagoe and Adiyiah must be dropped. Kingston should be in the squad for Kwarasey’s replacement in case we may need that. I dont trust those local boys that well. Only Adjei (goal keeper) should make that cut.
can u image tagoe without jordan gh lets get serious.bench warmers ahead ahead of a champions league player plavi you don’t know what you r about but kwasi appiah,kwasi nye jordan ana,emme kyer are you sure you know what u r about?not even a former champions league player in the person of sulley should make the cut ahead of jordan.remember dede in 2006?y do we as a nation not put the country first but envy,hatered and jealousy?i pity we as a people.
