Marseille striker Jordan Ayew sets conditions for his Ghana return

Jordan Ayew
Marseille attacker Jordan Ayew says he will return to the Ghana national team when his position in the squad is more secure.
The France-based slapped in his temporary resignation letter to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Tuesday claiming he wants to concentrate on his club career to build on his experience to help him gain a regular place in the Black Stars squad.
The Marseille player was excluded from the initial 26-man squad for the tournament in South Africa which was announced by coach Kwesi Appiah in December.
Ayew says he wants to stay away from the team to work hard with his club to gain the necessary experience to ensure that when he returns to the Black Stars his position is more secure.
“The reasons for my decision, although personal, I believe, would eventually inure to the benefit of the Black Stars,” Jordan Ayew said in his retirement letter to the GFA.
“The reason being that in this period of my temporary absence I intend not only to work hard in my club as a young player so I can obtain the quality, experience and stature necessary for a call up to play in the national team.
“But also ensure that my membership of the national team when I soon come out of my temporary resignation endures in a more secure manner so as to avoid the situation where I am unsure as to when my services are required for the national team.”
Ayew’s decision to leave the Black Stars comes just three weeks before Ghana takes on Sudan in a 2014 World Cup qualifier in Kumasi.
The attacker has scored twice in his 10 matches for the Black Stars.

I don’t see the need for another two articles based on their resignation letters (and almost identical), except to write suggestive headlines to sway public opinion against them.
@Kwame say it again. This website is just as bad as the black stars management team, the GFA and the technically inept aKWASI apPIAH. Whiles some websites have provided the full details the chap sent this lazy do no research jounalist are now serializing the already available letter
HOW CAN YOU TAKE A PLAYER TO AFCON 2012 WHERE HE EVEN FEATURED in full games, PLAY HIM IN WCQ WHERE HE SCORED GOALS, PLAY HIM IN AFCON 2013 QUALIFIERS, He is playing in top class team as a starter a year later AND IN THAT YEAR LATER DROP HIM FOR ANOTHER STRIKER WHO IS: 1) GOING TO DEBUT, see the word ”DEBUT” FOR GHANA AT THE AFCON 2)NOT EVEN HALF OF INTERNATIONAL VALUE? i mean clottey? When it comes to Richmond who I believe is quality alright but does JORDAN NOT HAVE MUCH BLACKSTAR EXPERIENCE THAN RBY? DOES JORDAN NOT PLAY AT TOP CLUB LEVEL AT THE MOMENT THAN RBY? ON WHAT BASIS IS SUCH A DECISION MADE?
Again all these issues could have been resolved if Akwasi appiah had been replaced after the afcon, the only reason muntari and KASA are still in the team is just respect and not because they believe Akwasi Appiah is the right coach. After the afcon when nyantakyi decided to maintain A.A despite this “BASABASA” coaching and “BASABASA” player selection I wrote on this site that “IF IT IS COMING, THEN IT IS DOING”
If nyantakyi is a man of wisdom, he will replace Akwasi Appiah no matter what. Saanie Darra also looks like he is in too deep, doing extra jobs he has no business in. 25th march is still about 4 weeks away, it doesnt matter, a good coach will have no problem putting things in order to beat sudan. But if we keep Akwasi Appiah, we will be dissapointed ALONG THE LINE anyway even after the sudan game. Commenters like me don’t get a dime to visit GSN and blog, we only spend time to comment because we care. so nyantakyi sit up! CAN YOU TELL ME AKWASI APPIAH PUT IN EVEN HALF THE PERFORMANCE OUR PREVIOUS SERBIAN COACH WHO RIGHTLY GOT FIRED BY YOU?
My boy Jordan you are right they will use for qualifications when the team qualify,they will drop you and go for their favourites players like clottey and co.You’ve taken a wise decision they should send their favourites players to play the qualifies because they know that the bonuses are not huge for them.Monkey dey work bamboo dey chop.
who cares……… u r off no use to the stars
I am happy for the AYEWS. If none will value you, value yourselves. Its going to be very difficult for Kwasi Appiah to lead the blackstars. He is too soft and tactically not there yet.
This is very good decision and i support them 100%,Kwesi Nyantakyi and his gang with the incompetent Kwesi Appiah are destroying the Black Stars and i am not sure we will qualify for the World Cup
I am surprised Ghanaians support this boy…. IF this had come from DEDE, i wont complain…. A young lad, who’s shown some brilliance at club level expects to have a SECURE position in the national TEAM?… come on, Essien, Derek Boateng and co didnt expect Security in the national team at age 20 and when they were in smaller clubs…. HE SHOULD HUMBLE himself… he’s doing well but ITS NEVER A SECURED thing until he conitnues to be consistent for some more years….
