President of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana, Kwabena Yeboah has vehemently opposed Kevin-Prince Boateng's return to the Black Stars.
Boateng made a shock switch to Spanish giants Barcelona on loan from Sassuolo last week and that has re-ignited calls for him to be given another chance to feature for the senior national team.
The German-born is serving an indefinite suspension from Black Stars was thrown out of Ghana's squad at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil for gross indiscipline and verbally abusing head coach Kwesi Appiah, who was still in charge.
“Yes he[Kevin] is playing well, but what people forget is that if you are constituting a team, it is not about who can play but it is also about temperament and discipline. You do not need a character who will be cancerous to the dressing room because it is a collective effort,” the veteran sports journalist said on Joy FM Saturday.
“But people have a divergent opinion and I am not going to argue with anyone. If the manager of the team decides that going forward he wants him[Kevin] to be part of the team so be it but if I was in charge there would be absolutely no way.”
Kevin has been capped 15 times by Black Stars and has scored two goals since his debut against Latvia in 2010.

I AM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH YOU KWABENA. RESPECT FOR PROFESSION IS VERY IMPORTANT. I AM WONDERING IF THIS CHAP CAN GO AND EXHIBIT HIS ***barred word*** AT BARCA AND GET AWAY WITH IT. COACH EVEN IF HE APOLOGISES DON'T INVITE HIM.
I think we should not be narrow minded. No rational human being will misbehave if there is nothing to misbehave for. Ghanaian always want people to bow even if there is nothing to bow for. What is the cause of him misbehaving at the camp?? And who is Kwabena agyapong? He is just a writer, he cannot come up with those kind of suggestion, if Ghana needs Kevin then it will be the nations responsibility to decide, but not someone who is not his fan. Sport department should vote.
pleas we need people who are good players to play black star not kwabena yeboah's favourat, it look ***barred word*** to say this. who is kwabena yeboah, one should know that black star is biger than kwabena yeboa,kwasi Appiah ect. Ghana need prince boateng cos he knew how to play football
I agree 100% with Kwabena Agyapong. Do not allow Kevin back to the team. Disciplinary issues affect a team. If you have great players who are not disciplined you don't win anything. Please Kwasi Appiah, you made the same mistake and it caused us so much national and global shame. When an individual thinks he's bigger than the entire team and will submit to the coach's instructions. DO NOT INVITE KEVIN. IF YOU DO, THIS TIME IT IS GOING TO cost you your job and you'll not get it again. We will WIN afcon without Kevin.
u're ryt. in any way, what's so special about him?
