Afranie, you are wrong. The only way I can support you idea is by seeing our local players winning African cup of nation that is formed for only local players. By doing that, we can confirm the strengh of them.
However, if there is any good reason that you can back your comment, well bring it. Frankly speaking, the quality of our play at home is too poor that, using local players for any international even, will turn up to be disastrous. Please think about it very well. Not just try to make market for our local players for such a poor thinking.

MR COACH YOU HAD THE SAME OPPORTUNITY BEFORE. WHAT DID YOU DO WITH LOCAL DOMINATED PLAYERS IN 1984?

FOCUS ON LOCAL PLAYERS TO DO WHAT? WIN THE AFCON AND THE WORLD CUP? COACH BY WHO? WHAT HAVE THE LOCAL BLACK STARS EVER WON? YOU DO NOT HAVE QUALITY COACHES IN GHANA. GHANA NEED A COACHING/SPORT DEPARTMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GHANA TO TRAIN QUALITY APPLICANTS; GHANAIANS ABROAD OR LOCAL. THE POOR QUALITY OF THE LOCAL LEAQUE IS DUE POOR COACHING OF QUALITY PLAYERS AND LACK OF MODERN FACILITIES BECAUSE OF CORRUTION. THE GHANA BLACK STARS POOR STANDARD WAS DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY COACHING ABILITY OF MR. APPIAH. LIKE A SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHER APPOINTED TO TEACH UNIVERSITY STUDENTS(THE BLACK STARS) TO PASS POST GRADUATE EXAMINATION(AFCON/WORLD CUP).

Please, Please, Please spare us this comment or suggestion of yours. This is the reason we failed so miserable.How do you expect to win serious games with what you presented at the Afcon tournament? Use your Head and not give the GFA reasons to go for another Foreign coach. SELECT the BEST Ghana has to OFFER and Nothing LESS.

MR. ATAA OSA, IF YOU HAVE A BAD MEAT AND CONTINUE TO EAT IT THE RESULT IS LIKELY DEATH. UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO REPLACE THAT MEAT WITH A BETTER ONE YOU LOOK FOR A BETTER REPLACEMENT, MAY BE ONE IMPORTED OR LOCAL. BETWEEN DESAILLY AND APPIAH WHO DO YOU THINK WILL BE A BETTER COACH PUTTING TRIBALISM ASIDE. IN GHANA, TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND EGOTISM FAVOR THE DUMMIES OVER INTELLECTS.

I don't think we should use only locally based players in our national team. I believe we should continue blending both local and international players together. We can use our friendly matches to play them together for them to get use to each other. Anything is very successful and better if you blend together.

Good Luck To All.

It's the coaching and technical staff that has to be lookede at. The caoching staff headed by Akwasi Appiah is a total disaster judging from what the whole world saw of the Blackstars during the just ended Afcon. AA is not an intelligent coach. His positionings and subtitutions during the tournament sre living pointers to this effect. Not to mention the dropping of some committed players from the team with very suspicious, puerile and flimsy reasons. AA must go if we want to make a mark

Whendid the local clubs perform in the African competitions? That is the starting point Emmanuel Baffoe was the goal king last year and he is now in SA and does not even get to warm the bench in matches.This illustrates the quality of players in the league.Tony Yeboah was chastisted for doubting his qualities.

Should´nt the very best players represent our nation, whether local or foreign-based? I do not understand these so-called experts who time & time again, keep advocating for the use of local players. ONLY THE BEST PLAYERS SHOULD REPRESENT US, PERIOD! This is what has helped other football minnows on our continent - they use their best, even if they are all foreign based. These people must have an agenda - use The Black Stars to promote & sell their local players to foreign clubs, what else? Shame!!

Coach Afranie, in that case you will be building the team always. Why? Because there is no Ghanaian player who would not like to play outside the country.

The so called home-players will mature to play foreign teams. Even Brazil with all the talented players use some of the foreign-based players to boost their national team.

You Guys should open your eyes to witness how both Muntari and Kelvin Boateng are performing at AC MILAN.

You need matured players like these for with some few local-based players for the BlackStars.
