They are all captain band materials. Just past it to the nearest player,
What does the captain do apart from just wearing the band? Educate some of us

I support Alex Djiku 100% for rejecting the Captain armband on that day. Didn't we (some Ghanaians) say Tony Baffoe was a "Bad Luck" for wearing the armband in AFCON Final in 1992 in Senegal ?

Thank you Aziz. To Partey,Jordan or Djiku,the Captain armband is nothing to them.I listened to Jordan on JoyFm yesterday and he clearly stated that.It doesn't add anything to their income or performance.

I DON'T BLAME ADJIKU! ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS PLAY BALL AND WIN. HE WAS THERE WHEN OTTO ADDO DECIDED TO PASS THE ARMBAND AROUND TO OTHERS, FOR REASONS BEST KNOWN TO HIMSELF AND HIS ATTACHES. IN FACT, THIS WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE SHOWN UP ON THE FIELD IF OTTO ADDO KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING! THE MAN IS NOT FIT TO COACH 17+, HE IS ONLY FIT TO COACH A COLT TEAM.

Which Partey? Go and give it to him. The guys lacks commitment, all he cares about is Asernal, he should go and captain Arsenal.

Massa, Jordan has seniority over Partey in the Black Stars. If Djiku has problems let him be. Much respect to Partey for his maturity. Actually Partey plays well without the added pressure of bri g captain.

Partey should not have worned the captain' band. He should have asked Ayew to give it to Otto Addo to wear as team captain and manager. FOOLISH.

Thomas Partey was made assistant captain largely due to public pressure from Ghanaians, not necessarily a decision based on merit by the coaching staff. If Jordan Ayew had been appointed assistant captain under his brother Dede (Andre Ayew), many Ghanaians would have criticized it, simply because of the negative bias toward the Ayew family.
Let’s be clear: in terms of seniority, Jordan Ayew ranks higher. When it comes to commitment to the national team, he has consistently shown dedication. Yet, due to the dislike some have for the Ayews, there’s a push for Partey to become captain instead.
Even Djiku,even though talented, joined the team more recently. It’s understandable if he felt uncomfortable wearing the captain’s armband when more experienced and committed players were present. This situation reflects poor judgment on the part of the coach, who may lack the maturity to make fair and balanced leadership decisions.

Meanwhile, Djiku acted maturely and Partey wisely saved the country from shame.

We have a problem in the hierarchy of our captaincy but I respect Mr Djiku for rejecting it knowing Mr Partey is senior .

What the hell is that. Don’t force leadership on people who are not interested. This is a failure on the part of the management. What does your leadership structure or framework say or look like. Select the leaders and anyone not interested skip the person and come up with six players base on the qualification criteria and we put this captaincy matter to rest. There should be a clear succession plan to end this petty behaviour in the team

These captaincy arrangements should be made to the order of things . They should be sholled and made to accept and even signed the deal. However who ever does mot or os not interested should have been known to skip him in the role and y signing that he is not interested in captaincy. Some people don't want leadership roles , they are shy or can not handle their colleagues or poor human relation and should not be forced. These could have resolved from coming out public.

Give it to the new goalkeeper!! These are the issues that will bring tension into the team. This should have been sorted out in the dressing room way before the match

Apathy: the winning spirit of the team is coming back and we all need to make sacrifices to maintain it, by forgiving one another in the healing process. We are Ghana and are proud of our motherland.

Please, if we want the very best for black Stars then the media must stop spreading captain's armband issues for it not to bring division between the players and the management team.
