    Dude, training is dfferent from playing matches. Wake up Dauda.

  • Dauda 10 years ago

    Essien don't even have a club what about that?

  • Sammy the Sheriff 10 years ago

    I don't blame Dauda for taking the $100,000 a year contract for four years instead of the $3,000 a year pittance he was being paid as Ashgold goalkeeper but this is the price you pay when you make these decisions.

  • COCONUTHEAD 10 years ago

    Sammy I could not agree with you more. Fatau is delusional if he thinks "training" is equivalent to actually being in the post to stop shots. He has not excelled since CHAN 2012; I cannot see him being picked as the first c ...

  • Sammy the Sheriff 10 years ago

    You always talk like you don't have any brains in your skull. How do you cancel a contract that binds you for four years if the other party to the contract is opposed to its cancellation?

    Dauda signed a contract to be a go ...

    Sheriff ,Why can't you arrest them for not fielding our goal keeper instead of fighting a brainless coyote. Happy Easter , or what are we celebrating?

  • Sammy the Sheriff 10 years ago

    Hahahaha, Rasheed, it's christmas. You might be a Moslem. I will deal with the South Africa team if you can tell Mahama not to leave Ghana during christmas. I am celebrating kwanza. Have a happy holiday.

    Sammy, now you are over-reaching. You made some sense in your first thread; do not ruin it for yourself when you bring up an issue of the President traveling outside Ghana during Christmas.

    DAUDA SHOULD CANCEL THE CONTRACT. HE HAS A VALID REASON/CAUSE...AS GH NUMBER 1 GOALIE. HE DESERVES PLAYING TIME. PIRAYES COACH CAN AT LEAST USE HIM AGAINST WEAKER CLUBS. RELIGATING DAUDA TO THE BENCH AS NUMBER 3 GOALIE IS A S ...

    Are you kidding me? If Appiah put a rusty goalie like you in the posts to face players like Podoski, Ozil, Klose, and Ronaldo--then must Appiah crazy.

    This is very bad for Ghana our number 1 goal keeper cannot be siting on the bench all these months and still maintain his reflex as before. Ghana conceded some goals during the qualifies that if Dauda was in active football b ...

  • Kente Warriors!! 10 years ago

    BS need a sharp goal keeper and not a guy who keeps the coal alive to warm the benches at Pirates! Does Dauda think we are all uneducated like him?

  • Dauda 10 years ago

    You talking crap, Essien don't play at club level, he has no team, what about that. people talk nonsense, calling it education

  • Kenkey Warriors!! 10 years ago

    Say what? Come again!

  • Sammy the Sheriff 10 years ago

    Shut up, Essien at least get some playing time at Chelsea compared to Dauda who has not seen one second of playing time at Orlando Pirates.

  • Adomako 10 years ago

    Strictly speaking Dauda has played more minutes than Essen.And you must admit he is in a much better physical condition than Essen.

  • Sammy the Sheriff 10 years ago

    Are you kidding me? Dauda has played more minutes at where? Dauda has not played even one minute in goal for Orlando Pirates whilst Essien has played in three league matches, one of them playing the full 90 minutes. He has al ...

    I am going to beg Appiah to invite me, instead of Adomah, because I am better than him and still training at Chorkor.

    Fatau Dauda is afraid man he know deep inside his heart that he would not keep the goal in Samba.

    Loser's visualize the penalties of failure. Winners visualize the reward of success.

    What about Essien? He is a bench warmer too but I don't hear people screaming for him to be left behind.

    Essien has amassed the needed experience playing with the Ronaldos, Podoskis, and the Ballacks. Dauda is different. He is rusty outside Ghana matches. If he can't show a strong spine to play for an African team like the Pirat ...

    Our biggest challenge is the goal keeping department. We better start using Kurrasey or any other keeper from tho local league before Brazil 2014. Fatau is not good enough.
