    Ainooson and Sadick Adams should be tried. These two guys can offer something to our ailing defence.

    You see, the CHAN was developed to deal with this issue. Some of the 2014 CHAN participants will graduate to the 2015 CAN and then be real candidates for 2018. Their is no need to rush players. Yes the CHAN back line was g ...

    Truth be told, our midfield and striking departments will be packed with only foreign based players. However, some locals could make the cut for the defense, given the current weakness we all know about. Stephen Adams and Kwa ...
