Why Ghana must rejoice with Essien

May 13th, 2009 | By: Gary | No Comments »

Michael Essien was named the Player of the Month for his club yesterday. Considering that he was injured for five and a half months – on national duty, too – and came back in such blistering form means that he is peaking at the right time for the qualifiers.

Stephen Appiah is pissed off.
He’s so pissed that not only is he thinking about leaving his club, but he’s gone public with his complaints. And as we all know, Appiah isn’t the complaining type. He’s the sort of guy who will smile through an earthquake, he’s that composed.
