Gargo: Is too early for Kingston to return to Black Stars
Posted On Friday, 27th April 2012
Laryea Kingston has not hidden his desire to make Black Stars return
By Ameenu Shardow
Ex Ghana international Mohammed Gargo insists it will be premature to hand Laryea Kingston a recall to the Black Stars.
The 31-year-old returned to play for Hearts of Oak in the Ghanaian top flight in January after moves to European clubs failed to materialize.
He has since put up glimpses of impressive outings for the Phobians, drawing plaudits from many including ex Ghana defender Sammy Kuffour who believes Kingston has played himself back into contention for a Black Stars recall.
But Gargo says the former Heart of Midlothian player needs to do more to merit a place in the current crop of national team players.
“Laryea (Kingston) started playing not long ago. He will need more time to adjust to enable him come up to speed with the modern game,” he told Kumasi-based Angel FM.
“Then in that case I can also play for the Black Stars?
“He needs to beef up his level of tuning because he (Kingston) is way behind in terms of stamina and speed as compared to say Sulley Muntari or Dede Ayew.
“He will therefore need to do more to convince all that he is ready to return to the Black Stars otherwise he will be going to embarrass himself .”
Kingston has not been involved with the Black Stars for almost two years, his last stint was in the lead up to the 2010 World Cup where he failed to make the final squad to South Africa.

I agree with you Cargo. He is not there yet,seriously. May be next year if his game is improved.Left with me alone, hearts officials must gudbye him at the end of the season for 1 or 2 reasons
First, he mst rake off dat jealousy against Dede b4 making a return. 2ndly, concede dat Dede is the future of BS and mst accept dat he is not always going to b a starter. and FINALY stop fighting wit coaches.
laryea is almost 50 yrs that is why he couldnt run.
Master u are old,u not getting younger,is time to give it up.There is no need working hard. U are over 45yrs old not 31 plaese give it up.
Who is Gargo? Is he a player or a coach for the blackstar? He can go to hell. Laryea kingston will play again for the stars.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, since Laryer cannot start ahead of the current players we need young players learn from Dede, Kwadwo Asamoah and the rest
who is that oliver hans guy? do u want the old man die on the field? he is too old for my liking.grandfa quite wai
If bra.Laryea is recalled into de BS.squad,den we shud change de team name to Africa Man.City cos he will always be sent off for rough tacklings and fighting with coaches and players all de tym like Balotelli.I wish bra.de best of luck in his present early 50′s.
i agree with Mr Gargo concerning Kingston inclution into blackstars selection .the man is old. Afterall we young talented to play.
how can he play for the stars whiles he dnt like our captain dede ayew
Masa, laryea can never return to d b s.
