Gyan still out of Black Stars set up
By Ameenu Shardow
Ghana coach Akwasi Appiah failed in his bid to have Asamoah Gyan available for the World Cup qualifiers in June.
Appiah traveled to Dubai last week to meet with the Al Ain striker with the sole aim of having the 26-year-old come out of temporary retirement for the games against Lesotho and Zambia.
The conspicuous absence of the on-loan Sunderland ace from the latest provisional Black Stars squad released on Wednesday however proved Appiah’s bid was unsuccessful.
It remains to be seen when indeed Gyan will return to the national team with findings of the visit of the Black Stars coach yet to be made public.
Squad
Goalkeepers: Adam Kwarasey (Stromsgodset, Norway), Robert Dabuo (Wa All Stars), Daniel Adjei (Liberty Professionals), Ernest Sowah (Berekum Chelsea)
Defenders: Samuel Inkoom (Dnipro, Ukraine), Daniel Opare (Standard Liege, Belgium), Harrison Afful (Esperance, Tunisia), Richard Kissi Boateng (Berekum Cheslea), Masawudu Alhassan (Genoa, Italy), John Boye (Rennes, France), Lee Addy (Dalian Aerbin, China), Daniel Addo (Arsenal Kyiv, Ukraine), Rashid Sumaila (Dwarfs), Jerry Akaminko (Manisaspor, Turkey), Isaac Vorsah (Hoffenheim, Germany)
Midfielders: Anthony Annan (Vitesse Arnhem, Netherlands), Derek Boateng (Dnipro, Ukraine), Emmanuel Agyemang Badu (Udinese , Italy), Rabiu Mohammed (Evian, France) Richard Mpong (Medema) Albert Adomah (Bristol City, England), Christian Atsu (Rio Ave, Portugal), Ishamel Yartey, (Servette, Switzerland), Sulley Muntari (AC Milan, Italy), Kwadwo Asamoah (Udinese, Italy).
Forwards: Jordan Ayew (Marseille, France), Dominic Adiyiah (Arsenal Kyiv, Ukraine), Ben Acheampong (Kotoko), Emmanuel Baffour (New Edubiase), Emmanuel Clottey (Berekum Chelsea).
The 30-man squad will be pruned down before the team departs to Kumasi on 27th May ahead of the match against Lesotho on 1st June, 2012.

Gsn rushes too much..too know paa nie…do u guys know what the two discussed ?? why cant u wait for akwasi appiah to come out first before writing bogus..
akwasi appiah should be charged for causing financial loss to the state. he wasted our money to travel to europe to convince kpb, essien and gyan, to return to the black stars, but where are they?
my bro, at least he has tried to convince them and it did not work so now he can focus on the materials avallable to him.forward ever backwards never.blackstars/k.Appiah never say die. now the coach should adopt some of the beautiful hearts of oak songs for the B.Stars to ginger them during their matches, I STAND TO BE CORRECTED
THANK U
BLACKSTARS ELEVEN TIS A MIGHTY TEAM, BLACKSTARS ELEVEN TIS A MIGHTY TEAM BLACKSTARS TIS A MIGHTY TEAM, BLACKSTARS ELEVEN TIS A MIGHTY TEAM.
AROSE AROSE AROSE BE QUIET AND DONT BE SILLY WE ARE THE FAMOUS GHANA BLACKSTARS WE NEVER SAY DIE.
CAN SOMEONE CONVINCE KWESI NYANTEKYI TO BORROW THESE SONGS TO MOTIVATE THE PLAYER IN THEIR MATCHES. THIS IS A NATIONAL CHALLENGE.
Fantastic squad by all standard.Appaih can do é work so all ghanaians shd support him.
This is really a fantastic squad, but they should have included Laryea Kingson. All shouls support Kwasi and I believe he will do a fantastic job!
A very good squad by all standards. I just hope we have some space for Quincy, Nyarko and his colleague in the US. I wish you all the best.
Absolutely no one can claim perfection.Kwasi has just started.I strongly believe that he can make it.
Is Asamoah Gyan the striker in Ghana?Kwesi Appiah shd look 4 his own sriker.He shd not depend on Gyan alone.
Where is dominic oduro n derrick asamoah
We are not worried about Asamoah’s absence since he has already made his mind off.
The inclusion of Harrison Afull, Daniel Addo, Rabiu Mohammed and Christian Atsu is getting me very excited….
Akwesi Appiah you are the man..
We shall continue to pray and support the national team with all our strength instead of worshiping the so call untouchable players…………..
I prayer for John Mensah to recover fully,painstil, jonathan Mensah to regular playing time or a better team to play.
FUCK ASAMOAH GYAN,THE EGOTISTIC DANCING SHOW OFF MONKEY,APPIAH N GHANA CAN DO WITHOUT ATTENTION SEEKERS N DRAMA KINGS LIKE ASAMOAH GYAN,PRINCE HITLER N ANY BODY,WHO THINKS THEY R BETTER THAN GHANA FOOTBALL.
I LOVE THE SQUAD,THEY LOOK STRONG N FEARLESS.GOD N THE ANCESTORS WILL BLESS COACH AKWESI APPIAH
FOOL……….LEAVE PRINCE ALONE. YOU BASTARD, SON OF BITCH. GO FUCK YOUR FAT MOM PUSSY..
Let pray for the coach….I believe he can perform,God bless Ghana
leave Asamoah Gyan alone. his ASAMOAH GYAN THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN DO THE JOB.TRY THE REST AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO ALSO. GYAN GOD WILL RICHLY BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN GHANA .BUT NEVER FORGET YOUR HOMELAND OKAY
This is an excellent squad!!
we should forget asamoah gyan and surport ben achampong and bafo
Good effort by the coach. Lets see what we will get out of these boys. GOD HELP US
I’am hapy Harison Afful included n de squad
Whatever Gyan, want do, we should forget about him, is all good, plenty of good strikers are coming up, I think Kwesi Appiah called up the wrong Dominic, it should be Oduro and not Adiyiah….Also Abdul Majeed should be called up again, the kid is working hard in sweden and scoring goals, we need that in the Black Stars, so that in the future there will be less pressure on him to replace strikers like Gyan, since he will have more experience under his belt and scoring goals, that stupid mentality of oh he is too young and lack experience should be thrown outta the window, only in Africa, will that shit exist, Rooney, Micheal Owen, Messi, Aguero, and a long list of superstars, started playing for their national team at a very young age, between 16-19. Richmond Boakye Yiadom, should also be called, and I hope kwesi appiah will also consider david addy and nana kwesi appiah for the left back spot instead of massawudu, and u hope harrison afful get the started nod at left back for these upcoming 2 games, we all know how poor massawudu performed at the CAN!!!
On another note, I am exited about the inclusion of Yartey and Atsu!!!!!! definately 2 great additions, and Lee Addy should be fazed out of the black stars as well, just like paintsil, but i think since he is versatile by being able to play left and central back, thats the reason y he is being called…..also we should not forget about Frank “Messi” Acheampong, he is not getting a call up cus he plays in thailand, if he was in europe, i bet he woulda been called up already, maybe kwesi appiah should go der and watch at least one of his games and see how he doing, and I hope acheampong will be playing in europe dis upcoming season!!!!
Also, Emmanuel Baffour should be a regular for the black stars so that he can start scoring goals like he doiing in the Ghana premiership!!!…he will be going to europe dis summer so great for him!!!! Asamoah gyan should not even be called up again, nobody cares, F*U*C*K HIM!!!!!!!
I think we shouldn’t rush Atsugi.
I think we shouldn’t rush Atsu.
By all standards,this is a good squad.I guess the coach wants to give Adiyiah & Lee Addy another chance to prove themselves otherwise Waris & Awal Mohammed are better options.
Hmmm…… I think we are just delighted Appiah is handling the team hence forgetting some critical analysis of the squad. Adiyah was dropped cos of dip in form. I don’t know what new/good performance he has put up to warrant his call up into the team likewise Massawudu. Dominic Oduro was called up and was given abt 17min of play which he did well. Nobody knows why he is not in the squad. What is Lee Addy doing in there? I tell u Black Stars is being played by “Big Boys” or younger talents with extremely huge fighting spirit, determination and egos but not any average player. The locals apart from few would fight to perform but draw or loose @ de end of the day. Am doubting the coach’s capabilities
The Ghana squad will change over time I guess time was not on side to complain who shouldn’t be in the squad and whoshould be in however I am disappointed that Dominic oduro and Patrick nyarko, Quincy abeyie n waris abdul majeed are not in the squad these players are better options n will be called later on.
Quincy and the US chaps should be called. Instead of Lee Addy, it should be David Addy instead. What is Lee Addy doing in the squad too? Omg Akwasi, Why??????????
The Ghana always changes every month and year.remember essien,Kevin prince boateng n Gyan n quincy abeyie n dominic oduro n nyarko n andreayew n waris n yiadom boakye will all be factored in the squad forthe world cup and African cup of nations as well.
Kwesi appiah want to give every player called or aced n never called to prove their worth n assessing them as well to build a stronger squad for the future.
A very good blend of youth and experience, i like it. In no time Gyan, KPB etc will be forgotten when these crop of players deliver.
I’m glad Pantsil was dropped. Also, was i the only one who thought Akwasi Appiah was wasting his time and tax payers funds by going all the way to Dubai to try convince a player who feels he is bigger than the Black stars? I knew he wouldn’t come back, he will want to when it’s getting closer to the AFCON but for now, he will rather want to be enjoying life this summer than playing for the Black stars.
The least we said about KPB also the better!
The Black Stars does not need Asamoah Gyan. I do not care what anyone says, I believe we have better strikers in the local leagues in Ghana to be found.
Moreover, If I was the coach I will never use any player that plays in the UAE league. That league does not bring the best out of a player. Its a lazy mans league, for those who are trying to make a quick buck rather than improving their skills.
Its time Asamoah Gyan get axed from the B/S period. And if he is not playing for the B/S and setting up a tent in UAE, then I can assure everyone that Al Alin will be his last team.
These players are forgetting that its the Black Stars that make a player and not the other way around.
@Mojahadine read your first, second and third paragraph and judge yourself by ending your comment were you sleeping bra? Wake-up!
So don’t we have any better defender lee addy? If prince tagoe,owusu abbeyie are out of the team then lee addy should be out as well.if the new coach wants to succeede then he must quickly drop this lee addy.he will be a flop to the team
