To say Edmund Addo dominated Madrid midfield is funny.

We can call for his invite but boy we shouldn't be blowing the thing out if proportion.

Concert guy!!! He should naturalize fast, there 1000’s better than him in ghana

Don't attack the player. The Guardian is at fault since he didn't control his emotions on radio. He bashed GFA for 'kwasiasem', criticized them for inviting players like Wakaso, Jordan Ayew. His harsh utterances could hurt Edmund Addo's Black Stars career. He needs to tone down.

Imagine a call up for Edmund Addo pre UCL games this season and the insults and twisted analysis based purely on the fact that he plays in Moldova.

UCL works magic.

Reports this morning claim that someone from Edmund Addo's camp is threatening to convince the player to play for Moldova over Ghana

Moldovan nationality laws state that "citizenship may be granted to anyone legally married to a citizen of Moldova for at least three years"
