http://www.ghanasoccernet.com/sunderland-admit-they-loaned-gyan-for-the-money/ It seems theyre all gathering around their greedy little b*****d to justify his despicable conduct.
For some reason I can't get that article to screen, but seeing as he is classed as a national treasure over there, I can imagine the content.
Sunderland have admitted that they sent Asamoah Gyan on loan to UAE side Al Ain because of the huge financial benefits to the club. The Black Cats signed a world record loan deal of £6m for the striker on Saturday. Coach Steve Bruce on Saturday painted a picture that the Ghanaian striker engineering the move to the Gulf. This was designed to deflect Sunderland fansâ anger to the Ghanaian players as club officials would be accused of selling off their best assests. But Sunderland chairman Naill Quinn has admitted that they agreed the massive loan offer for the Ghanaian player because of the money the club would get from the deal. âThey (Al Ain) were very professional but determined to sign the player and at this point we took a number of things into consideration,â Quinn said. âThe obvious economic benefits to our club in the terms of the final deal laid out to us. âThe forthcoming African Nations Cup, which would have meant losing Asamoah for up to six weeks in the New Year.â Sunderland were desperate to blame Gyan for the move but it is now clear that they were also interested in the financial benefits. While the club were seeking their financial benefits, many would argue that Gyan was also right to seek his reward especially when he was on a very low salary of £20, 000 per week. As compared to other top strikers in the Premier League Gyan is probably the lowest paid despite his massive efforts for Sunderland. His quest to get a pay rise was flatly turned down by Sunderland in March.
Like it or not, Asamoah Gyan is gone and is never coming back to Sunderland. This goes for the people who just canât come to grips with the fact that Ghanaâs no.1 striker has decided to ditch the fame and glamour of the English league to the rich but emerging league of the UAE. Letâs not get hypocritical here especially for those who still insist the decision taken by the 25-year-old is very poor to say the least. Football just like any sporting discipline comes with its own set of risks therefore the need to make enough while on top to cater for not only yourself as in the case of Gyan but also for the long lineup of relatives and friends who have expectations of him. âI didnât make the decision alone; I made it with my family. When the offer was made I spoke to my family about it and the decision was that I should move,â Gyan said at his unveiling ceremony â further buttressing my point. Now to the main thrust of my piece; I donât think any footballer under this planet would avoid blinking when made an offer of the magnitude being reported was made to the ex Stade Renne hitman. How much more then to player, who as it has emerged is one of the least paid in the world despite his global status. No more dance moves from Gyan at Stadium of Light And this is the reason why Sunderland fans have seen the last of Gyan the very moment referee Mark Halsey blew his whistle to end proceedings in the barren home draw with Swansea. The hardcore truth is that Sunderland can and will never offer such colossal amount of money to a player no matter his status as a big-part member of the squad. Therefore, by the time Gyanâs loan deal expires somewhere next year, the Black Cats should have completed negotiations with Al Ain or whichever gulf club capable of meeting the huge financial demands for the deal to be turned permanent. I donât envisage the player even wanting to return no matter how red-hot his form will be at the time to a place where his wages which he would be accustomed to by then will be slashed over a 100%. The taste and lifestyle would have appreciated tremendously and it comes with bills which need to be settled and that unfortunately, the Black Cats cannot provide. There is also the small issue of whether the Sunderland fraternity, especially the fans and coach (i.e if Steve Bruce is still the man at the helm) will be willing to take the âBaby Jetâ back considering the widely negative reactions to his shock move. There is definitely love lost between the two parties and I would be surprised if the club is not already lining up a suitable replacement come the January transfer window. Simply put, the Baby Jet has flown away and is not coming back just because in truth, really, you (Sunderland) canât afford him.
Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has agreed to make a hefty donation to the Sunderland Foundation although he is on loan at UAE side Al Ain. The 25-year-old made a bizarre move to the Gulf on a season-long loan deal but has been bad-mouthed by many fans of the club. Many have questioned his loyalty to the Black Cats after making a late decision to exit the club ten days after the European transfer market has been However, Sunderland chairman Naill Quinn revealed that Asamoah Gyan has some respect for them. âI am delighted however that he has agreed to make a sizeable donation to SAFC Foundation for each month that he is away on loan,â Quinn said in a statement.
Mate i wouldnt bother I was the first to respond to the article with a comment that is 'Still awaiting Moderation'..whereas two foul mouthed rants against Sunderland have been printed.....Journalism at its worst mate
My reply was as follows. Well well well what a surprize Ghanasoccernet tries to justify Mr Gyans transfer to Al Ain by claiming Sunderland engineered the move for financial gain..total and utter rubbish !!! Gyan was on £55000 a week at Sunderland (one of the lowest paid strikers in the league…I dont think so !!!)Massive efforts ??? Hes done nothing since the England game…no Ghanasoccernet do the decent thing and report fairly. Gyan left Sunderland becuase he was greedy and no amount of bad journalism can cover that up
This justs riles me even more reading this. The Africans are the most corupt goverments/organistaions etc in the world. If i was Bruce I wouldnt sign another African player again, based on experience and their lack of loyalty/professionalism and just down right selfishness. Rot in hell Gyan, Rot in Hell.
