   I don’t care whether he will stay at Chelsea or move to any club but my only worry is when will he returns to Ghana black stars? He must accept Ghana first so that he can get more playing time at Chelsea

   Excellent tony!! Essien is a matured guy who has seen it all in world football and besides for him to reached that level means that he made the right decisions at the right time so am sure he knows what he is doing and what is best for his career… is quiet hypocritical when ghanaians seems to know better than the player.. he has his advisors,his family and more importantly the season has just started and i strongly believed essien ll prove his critics wrong.. too much pressure will make him make a wrong decision which ll affect his career and also Ghana too and let noone deceivced himself that we don’t need him…

   Very true. Sometimes I read very interesting comments here. People talk as if Essien is a kid, and they know what Essien is going through better than the player himself, or his agent is sleeping and not interested in the progress of his client. There are so many things involved that some of us will never come to understand. Let’s leave Mr. Michael Essien and his manager to make their decisions. As if your shouting here will change anything.

   Essiens present situation is due to truancy with the national team. All over the world,players use their national teams to showcase their abilities, prowess and talent in the game and consequently win big contracts with big clubs or cement their positions with existing clubs. For Essien the story is different. He virtually has to be begged to play for Ghana and always hides behind injury to carry out his plans. this is the result

   Hopes he picks lessons out of it that will reform his attitude.

   Good luck!!

   if players lyk paul scholes n andrea pirlo re stil playin, why cnt he? he shd think abt joinin the BS again. the FA shd convince him 2 come n play. although he is such a prodigal son, Ghana will still welcome him after all, he is still a son of the LAND. we miss u Bison

   Essien will make the right decision, besides its about his life and not anyone else. He needs time to revive his career at this point which explains his exclusion from the Ghana list. He also enjoyed playing alongside the Great Stephen Appiah and Muntari respectively who’s currently absent so obviously there’s some void there. We need him for the world cup in Brazil and not now…. Imagine all the new crop of players in their top form with Essien in line-up.. Essien, Kwadwo Asamoah, Muntari and Atsu for Brazil 2014…

   @ boscoGh.. when did essien play truant with Ghana? When please? Did he make his point clear to ghanaians that he is temporarily taking a break from the national teams? Wasn’t it official so where is the truancy here please.. did u expected essien who was injured due to national assignments to still play for Ghana through his injuries? Football is his career and that’s what put food on the table so he needs to take a break when he’s injured in order to take proper care of himself and not to further aggravate the problems …… we are trying so hard to be ungrateful as people becos even if essien has not done nothing for Ghana,he helped us to qualify for the world cup for the first time in our history and moreover play even amazing part in Germany!! Not forgotten that he was also instrumental during our second qualification and when our soccer history books are open,essien name ll be written pure gold……. for me essien has being very patriotic and he started excusing himself when he started picking up injuries and i think any sane person will do that period!!!
