    THEY NEED TO GO OVERSEAS TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY. GGHANAIANS IN GHANA ARE LOCALS AND WHAT HAVE THEY ACHIEVED FOR THE COUNTRY INSTEAD OF BUY AND SELL. THE BLACK STARS IS NOT A TRAINING GROUND FOR INFERIOR IN QUALITY PLAYERS. ...

    Godfred Saka is far better than most of our right full backs. Abeiku will be a solid addition to Jonathan & akaminko

    I watched him at afcon and wasn't impressed.he needs to polish his game. He lacks simplicity.

    I do agree with Jeff 100% home base players should be given a chance. I'm surprise the so called GFA can not do this!!!! And if they can't see then, they are not doing their job right.
