AT least give him de chance to shoçw what he has for yr team, keeping him on the bench will not help his carrier. He might even be better than yr No 1 Keeper

CITE INACTIVITY AS THE CAUSE. GET GFA, CAF N FIFA INVOLVED. PIRATES ARE PAYING FATAU THE MINIMUM TO SIT IN THE STANDS. THEY KNOW THAT AA HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO AT LEAST USE HIM SPARINGLY AT THE WCUP. DAUDA APPEARANCE AT THE WORLD STAGE WILL BOOST HIS WORTH/SELLING PRICE. THEN PIRATES WILL SELL HIM N CASH IN ON THEIR PROFIT.

What will South Africa achieve or benefit,by using your so called "tactics" to please our World opponents?. Who is Dauda?,is he the best keeper in the world?, that our opponents are so scared of, that they will try to influence South Africa to frustrate him. Hmmn, Ghanaians, we are always thinking of corruption.

Idiot. WOuld Dauda ever be voted the best keeper in Norway? He can't even get a game in the pathetic South African league.

Go watch Ghana vs. Chile highlights and Ghana vs. Brazil highlights.

Kwarasey have success at club level but not playing for the nation.

So when someone says DAUDA is better than KWARASEY , he is not far from the right but the truth is both are not Black Stars material.I mean both don't deserve to be Black Stars first goal keeper.

Many keep talking about Fatau Dauda being rusty, not playing, he is on the bench etc.
Kwarasey on the otherhand is not proving his worth at training with the Stars either. Kwarasey can be the best Golie in the world but if at training ground where all our Stars who are equal in calibre and even better than some world class players we are going to face at the World Cup assemble to try him and Dauda and he fails to live up to the task or expectation, Akwasi Appiah will continue to use Dauda and it makes perfect sense period!
Orlando Pirates I knew came in quickly for Dauda because they know his worth and what he can do with time to come. They also knew he will be a Star and worth millions after the World Cup, hence bought him from hungry Gold Fields who lacked that fore sight.
This Fatau guy is very good but most Ghanains are just failing or intentionally do not want to admit. Watch his tapes at AFCON 2013 and the crutial qualifiers and be the judge. It takes a golie with a heart to withstand the pressure of qualifiers to help his nation qualify.
Also, watch Kwarasey's tapes of AFCON 2012 in Guinea and be the judge as well.
For those who don't know or fail to admit, there are technical differences between league matches, qualifying series and tournaments like the AFCON and World Cup. With the league matches players and teams always play with known faces and teams on their own soil. Qualifying series on the otherhand does not give the teams the luxury opportunity to play the teams and players they know totally on their home soil; they meet teams randomly picked for them. Tournaments are completely different, here you play various matches almost on few days’ basis and are keenly competitive; sometimes you don't even know the team you are playing in the next round should you qualify.
With the above analysis, you'll agree with me that Kwarasey can be the best in the Norwegian league, captain of his side and the voted best goalie. However, tournaments and qualifying series are different ball games. Does he have the confidence for the later two? Have we not seen his best at a tournament? Be the judge.
Dauda was his side's captain too (Obuasi Goldfields) and he won man of the match at the AFCON 2013 in South Africa (a rare achievement for Goal Keepers). He performs at training with the Black Stars and the technical team sees and knows it period. It is up to the Coach and the Keeper's trainer to sharpen his loose ends and he's a gem! Orlando Pirates know that. It is just unfortunate he met another great Goalie at the team.
Kwarasey by my estimation is not playing for any team outside Norway where he lived almost all his life. He probably might be on the bench for a team outside Norway too just like Fatau who was regular with Obuasi GF.
Let's see who is better to be in the post at the World Cup In the coming months, when they both get to keep in our friendly matches.

The world cup is around the corner so we can't sit by and allow our number one goalkeeper to be bench-warmer and rust away whilst others who won't be going get to keep themselves active and sharp because they are natives.

No chance should be given to anyone if he or she doesnt prove himself to be up to it. U guys claimed here that dauda proved himself at the training ground that's y he is choosen as number one of stars but y not doing the same in Orlando pirate. Adams who is nothing to u in Ghana and doesn't prove himself during training in Ghana remained number one at club level and captain his team.... I think there's a desease within the stars staff is the cure is not found earlier just say goodbye the dream of world cup . So.many favoritism..

This guy looks short and is shorter than Kwarasey. He has more bulk and is older than Kwarasey. Kwarsey is the future of the stars. Fatau is probably 5' 10'' and 32 years old!!!

Yes Mbele is right , selling or loaning Dauda would be wrong. A strong team need 3 strong keepers 2 compete. Truely the guy need 2 be given a chance.
