    Oga you have said all of Kingston but let the technical men monitor him for long balls and if he passes fine.

  • KojoLee@Dilemma-Situation 12 years ago

    Inviting Kingson to the camp to raise the goalkeeping competitive bar is a good idea and I'm fully support that, but handed him the No.1 spot automatically is a suicidal.

    Haaa I daff with uncertainty ahead of us.

  • Mr.N 12 years ago

    Kingston is Temitope Balogun Joshua's man and 88% of Ghanaian leaders listen to Temitope Balogun Joshua may be GFA Capo is also a great fun of Temitope Balogun Joshua what can I say as long as we make it to world cup at 2014 ...

    We Should not drop R.K. like hot Cake when he return to the B.S.rather keep him the team for the Young ones to learn from him.THE OLDER YOU GROW,THE BETTER ONE BECOMES AS A GOALKEEPER.

  • Hexagon, USA!!! 12 years ago

    He is brave and smart just what you need in a Goal-keep.

    Let's take heed in this all of a sudden Kingson/Mensah call. The guys we've used up to date are capable of performing the task ahead. A word to a wise is enough.

  • Mr.N 12 years ago

    You are 100% right that is the way Kwasi Nyantakyi works Zambia we have to hit the red light to bring KPB and Essien now Egypt we are calling all dead and old horses may be we need to call Milo back to help Mr. AA.

  • Slimzay **Unshakable Shaker** 12 years ago

    Now, was my investigation right or wrong? I indicated in one of my comments as Kingston is being monitored before the news came out.

    The exit of Olele from the black stars cannot be attributed to old age nor underperformance, but Complacency. Since he knew there was no competitor, he became complacent and taught he knew it all.
