Ghana defender Akaminko sends SOS to Asamoah Gyan
Posted On Tuesday, 19th June 2012
There have been several calls for Asamoah Gyan to return to the Black Stars
By Patrick Akoto
Ghana defender Jerry Akaminko has issued an SOS call on Asamoah Gyan to return to the Black Stars for their next qualifiers.
The 26-year-old striker is on self-imposed leave after coming in for heavy criticism in the aftermath of the team’s failure to win the 2012 African Cup of Nation held in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
The attacker was left frustrated after he suffered massive verbal abuse following his semi-final miss against eventual winners Zambia at the biannual showpiece.
The Sunderland man has reiterated his desire to return to the team when he is physiologically fit.
But Akaminko who played for Turkish relegated side Manisaspor has made a passionate appeal to the ex-Rennes forward to come out of retirement to aid their World Cup qualifying campaign.
“We need him. It is as simple as that. The team will help him to recover from what he went through,” Akaminko told Accra-based Happy FM
“I believe he should forget about everything. We’re here to support him so he can continue to lead our attack and score the goals for us.
“We need him urgently to be honest with you. He is an important player for the team whether someone like it or not,”
Talks of Gyan’s potential return to the Black Stars has been re-ignited after the team lost 1-0 to the African Champions in the second group match of the 2014 World Cup qualifier on June 9.

GYAN BACK! GYAN BACK! GYAN BACK! Zambia is shaking in their boots. GYAN BACK! GYAN BACK! GYAN BACK! GYAN BACK! zambians are wailingggg
who is Gyan?
@ KWAME NAAGBEWA what are you celebrating about Gyan played against Zambia at AFCON 2012, what did he do, Zambian defenders made him retire LOL….
At the mention of the names Mayuka,Katongo and Kalaba, Ghana trembles LOL……..
Who is Mayunka?Has he ven played outside of Africa before?Has he been to a world cup before???We talking players with pedigree who have featured and played in World cup and SCORED and you talking about some wannabe??
Gyan is won BBC player of the year,was shortlisted among the world best in 2010 and in 2006 WC,He was among the youngest promising players at the world cup.Scored the fastest goal at the world cup in 2006.Scored against England.I bet Mayuka has not even seen Terry face to face,the day he does,he will take a picture of a whole album home.He will follow them like a fly that has seen a mango.We are talking champions and you are talking wannabes like Kalaba,Katongo,Mayuka,no one knows these players beyond africa.Go to England and everyone will sing you Gyan Asa!!
Yes. We may need Asamoah Services because it has become difficult for us to qualify.
@Jematek, Asamoah is somebody papa wai! Note!!! Respect is reciprocal.
The day for honouring yourselves will soon be at an end. Savour your victories, blow the trumpets and make your ladies sing your names and give you their bodies for free. I however assure you, the day of reckoning will soon be at hand. Lets wait and see who will be laughing. This is Ghana, maybe you don’t know this, we are who we are not because of any player(s), its simply because we never give up!!! ask the Czech republic, ask Brazil, ask the US and even ask the current South American champions… keep calling us names and make mockery of us. I can only assure you that there will be tears and it would not be ours… THIS IS GH, WE NEVER GIVE UP…
WHO NEEDS GYAN? FOR WHAT SO HE CAN WALK ABOUT ON THE FIELD?
MASTER… WE NEED BETTER THAN GYAN, THEY ARE AVAILABLE ONLY WE DONT LOOK.
YOU SEE , STIKERS PROVE THEIR WORTH WHEN THEY ARE GIVING THE JOB TO DO, LOOK AT MARIO BALOTELLI… LOOK AT HIS GOAL YESTERDAY …MAN HE PROVED HIS CRITICS THAT YES THEY NEED HIM.. WHAT HAS GYAN PROVEN…
You are a fool!You have still not woken up to smell the coffee.Looking at our last game.The two strikers we had were clearly immature and lacked the experience.The Zambian defenders marked them out simply and their movements especially Adiyah was read easily by the Zambian defender.One thing that is very characteristic of Gyan is that he worries defenders,you can ask Danny Shiitu of Nigeria.
In the first game against Zambia,Gyan was half fit and if he had stayed on for 90 minutes,he would have scored a goal so dont use that as a yard stick.The players who go on the field are calling for his return and you common floor member who havent even kicked a ‘tselensa” ball before let alone play in a school team before is here running your mouth.
Dont just throw your weight about;mention one player you think is better than Gyan now as you claim who can play his role to perfection and get us the results we need.Stoop being foolish and call a spade a spade.This is it!There is no unity even among the fans of Ghana and that is why you get some big mouth Zambians evade here and make noise but we will see who gets the last laugh!

To be honest i respect Ghana and i know they are a very god team no doubt about it. but it does’nt pay not to respect the african champions. look at egypt how many players have played in the biggest leagues bu they have had great success and are still feared on the continent. Guys Zambia has great players and its greatness shouldnt be determined by the players playing in the biggest leagues. i can assure you, big teams are big teams and if opportunities are readily available our players will still shine because it’s easier with so many good players around. For now there is nothing that suggests Ghana is better than Zambia and you just have to admit it. go go go chipolopolo
calling SOS Gyan heheheeheheheh these guys are in trouble… the headline tells it all. Just admit Zambia is better than you. African Champions, beat senegal,ghana ivory coast hehehehehe
You just want attention;for people to know you watched a game of football between Italy and Ireland and Balloteli scored.
PROVE A POINT?Gyan has proven beyond doubt that he is a good player.I give you examples.His goal against Czech Republic in 2006 world cup,against the USA in the 2010 world cup,then his goals in 2010 African cup against Angola,Nigeria,then last minute goal against England in a friendly.If you talk about dissappointments,every player has a page on that subject.Messi misses a crucial penalty in the Champions League,Cristiano Ronaldo misses a penalty in a Champions League,Baggio USA 1994 and host of them!So what are you talking about?Come again????Dont just open your mouth and talk but talk facts!You must be a kid that started watching football in this millenium!
Gyans absence was really felt in Zambia. We needed him inbetween Stopilla and Himondee to disorganise them at the back and create more goalscoring chances. Come back Gyan.
oh how iam so obssesssed with gyan.he is on my heart.and gladly not for the wrong reasons.whoever adviced gyan to take thie break is an enemy of progress,gyan what message are you sending out there to the rest of the players or even to the upcoming players?that they can decide to walk in and out of the national team as and when they like? will that auger well for afor ghana soccer?gyan i know you love Ghana very well but this single decision is abt to paint u black to some of us.Gyan who do you want to qualify the team for you to return later to play?what if we dont qualify cos of lack of players? gyan i love u sooooooooooooooooooooo much. pls think abt this very well.we neeed u back.
Useless Gyan!!!!
@ ss see a jobless man calln smbdy useless
MORONIC Zambians!!! Gyan is million x better than all your strikers. He is the second highest African scorer of the WC, just a goal shy behind Roger Milla and he is regarded as one of the best strikers in not only Africa but the world. An half fit Gyan is far better than all your strikers, yes he is somebody and none of your SHIT strikers can be compared to him u FUCKWITS!!!
@Maxwell thanks for that information.I have been quiet about all the ranting of these Zambians and i have read loads of their post on here but i believe now is the time for me to throw some information to them and school them a bit.
Individual records for Gyan….
1)2010 Africa Cup of Nations Best XI
2)Man of the Match in 2010 World Cup (2): vs. Australia, vs. Serbia
3)FIFA Ballon d’Or: Shortlist Nominee (Top 23 players in the World)
4)BBC African Footballer of the Year: 2010[36]
Fastest goal at the 2006 world cup.
Zambia has NEVER AND WILL NEVER GO to a world cup yet you are throwing your weight around because of this small feat you chalked by wining an African cup.Let me show you what the bible says…God resists the proud and giveth Grace to the humble!!You have become too noisy over night and i personally used to admire your team but with this attitude,i think you have become the ”England of Africa”and that is not a plus for your information.
Mayuka,Kalaba and the soldier man Katongo wish they would even be like Gyan.
He has played in French top flight,Italian league,English league and now in the UAE,i bet no one knows all your strikers beyond Africa!Local champion and empty barrels they say make the most noise.
why have you failed to win even a single african cup trophy since 1982?your players can shine in europe yet you fail to even beat Mali?what does that tell you?Senegal went to the world cup for the first time and caused some sensation but did you ever hear them talk the way you do?I heard the Nigerians saying you guys never learn from past mistakes and are too proud to call a spade a spade.Get it from me now the World cup slot does not automatically belong to you and we shall fight for it till to the bitter end even if we shall be there for the first time.
so what??? who is talking about that anymore booooooooo, live the man to enjoy oil money he knows you are no longer a threat. cant even be loyal to your own so called stars, insulting and calling them names brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hey watch yourself, you loud mouth and insults are only exposing your foolishness and barbarism. it further shows us how much you fear Zambia. for heaven’s sake you where beaten by zambia twice in four months. Just shut up keep quite and better throw in constructive criticism.
jesse You hit it right on the nail, i don’t understand why some people doesn’t want to face the fact, at present non of our strikers we have in the country or outside the country is better than Gyan, Jordan is good but immature to rely on him for qualification, Adiyah to me is the one who should be droped for another striker like Waris to be giving a chance for us to see, they have giving him so many chances from Angola to the world cup and so on, yet he have not proven to be reliable. When Asamoah Gyan was giving an early chance in the black stars during the 2006 world cup qualifiers, he proved that we have a future with him and so shall some up and coming stars like waris and co should be giving a chance to see if we can get one or two good striker in addition to Gyan and Jordan for now.
@Andy,keep dreaming.You think the world cup is for no names like your Zambian team.Yes you won the African cup and that is as far as you can get.World cup is a different stage where a combination of technique,class,exposure and experience are the only tools to guarantee your success. All these qualities Zambia does not have so you can remain LOCAL champions while we take on the world.Have you wondered why Egypt has won countless African cups yet are under achievers on the world stage?Because their players lack exposure on world stage;playing in the European leagues,champions league etc.The Mayukas,Kalabas of your team lack exposure and experience. And you said we couldn’t even beat Mali?Mali is a big football nation except you don’t know.
Check your soccer knowledge jesse, you are very unwise and are unfit to comment here. wait and see you will be cheering on Zambia when we go to the worldcup. ofcos the standards are high but teams also go to the world cup on merit. watch this, how about watching the african Champions in the world cup hmmm! well because we are winning it again next year….
Let your local players get the exposure outside Zambia or Africa before you start thinking of World cup.You can party with Hayatou,but Blatter,you certainly don’t have what it takes.
Well said Jesse, for the first time on this forum I side with you.
Please,please Gyan we need you Group D is too hot to handle you can take take a penalty if you wish to ,just come back please…..
