Thank you for all said and written. Will these guys be treated well as must be?. A case like what happened in Brazil with too many official taking care of 24 players all hoping to reap something from the players sweat.

It is a two way street. Can both sides handle the cross cultural experience? It is a challenge. We shall see.

NO GHANAIAN BORN OR RAISED OVERSEAS SHOULD CONSIDER GHANA, PERIOD, BECAUSE THE LEADERSHIP STYLE AT ALL LEVELS OF GHANAIAN SOCIETY IS DRIVEN BY HOW MUCH MONEY THE SO-CALLED LEADERS CAN DRAIN FROM THE PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE PLAYERS, IN ILLEGAL WAYS.

SO, CHILDREN, BECAUSE OF THE CANKER OF CORRUPTION IN THE SYSTEM, DO NOT BOTHER.

NO GOOD PUTTING COLOGNE ON HORSE SHIT N CALLING IT GOOD. THERE HAS TO A REVOLUTION OF CHANGE AT THE FA IN HOW THE BUSINESS OF SOCCER IS MANAGED. WHEN IT COMES TO THESE NATIONAL TEAMS...THE CODE OF ETHICS, THE ALLOWANCES PAID, CALLING PLAYERS ON MERIT ETC....WHEN YOU HVE FOOLISHNESS LIKE WAT TRANSPIRED IN BRASIL N COUNTLESS OTHER PRIMITIVE OCCURRENCES THAT HVE HAPPENED UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF NYANTAKYI.

A foreign player in the national team means one less opportunity for the GFA to extract bribe. It is all about money. They may deny it thousand times but that's the truth

We have local players who are better and are known form than many foreign based or born players and get come bstar call ups. Where are the local babies? Why do you think gfa themselves are vehemently against the idea.of bstar quotas for local based players? Wouldn't it be in the interest of the ghana league and the owners to have local players showcased? So potential foreign scooters can see the likes of fameyeh, and co and come down to Ghana to scout ournlocal league and players for foreign clubs? But no! GREEDY,.selfish gfa don't want that. They like y3nkoaa! The club owners must force these bstar coach and gfa to Institute a quota of 4/5 local players in every bstar match, competitive or friendly, NOW!

It won't work. Build your local sportsmen they have the potential and the passion. Forget about these foreign athletes. They come and go and have nothing to offer

All those 'foreign' born players wouldn't play for Ghana if they were invited to play for the country they were born in. Kevin didn't have a chance to play for Deutschland especially after injuring Ballack.

Don't confuse that dude. Why Ghana? He can also play for Liberia or Spain. If you have to chose between Ghana, Liberia or Spain, this is a no brainer.

It is better for those players to play for where ever they than to come to Ghana and play for Ghana once or twice and they useless them and dump them, like they have done to Owusu Abayie, P.K Boateng, Adam Kwalasey exct. The so called GFA is most corupt in the whole world. GFA should not even try to go for any Ghana born abroad to come and play for Ghana.

In my opinion, 98%of the foreign Ghanaian born players will prefer to play for the country, but due to corruption, they normally shy away. They are not used to the " PAY BEFORE YOU PLAY" antics by members of the GFA. Im resident in the diaspora for so many years, and played in the Ghana Premier League (Tema Hurricanes, GT Olympics, Swedru All Blacks, and GTMC FC-Tema.captain) before I left the country to study in Europe. I stopped playing due to a severe sports injury, and think Baffoe is right. Ghana football is on the decline, and if it further continues, the Premier league in the country will come to a halt in the next 5 years. 99 percent of the current Black Stars are all resident and playing in the diaspora.Before I left the country in '74, the Ghana Premier League was one of the best patronised leagues in Africa, and not a single Ghanaian player was playing outside the country.If the Ghana Premier League is managed efficiently, it may attract foreign players to even play in the league clubs in the country.

Please all hands off foreign born Ghanaian Children.Let these guys develop their trade where they were born to become ambassadors for Ghana without any stupid interference from GFA.The whole football education in GHANA has gone to the dogs.There are more of these football players in GHANA so please stop the non-sense. If Prince Boateng was left alone,the two brothers could have set a record of first GHANAIAN brothers to play for GERMANY. Which for my money is better than pouncing about with the poor chap.
