The Pirates are fielding him because they said want to train him for the Black stars? The is probably not good for them or something important is missing in the story. Anyone who believes this bull shit needs help.

Pirates know Fatau has what it takes to be a great golie. They've seen his tournaments and at training and wants to keep him at all cost to cash on him big probably after the World Cup; something hungry GoldFields fail to realize.
I'm making a list of all those against Fatau on this forum and I'll ask everyone about his performance or Kwarasey's performance should both get the chance to make it to the World Cup.
All those against this smart golie are the same people afraid of our chances should he not be taken to the World Cup simply because the rest of the golies do not measure that much above him in performance so far. We live to see, for there is always a revelation at every tournament and I believe he will be one.

Leave it to AfricanS to allow petty jealousy and bitterness to cloud their judgment and deprive them of great rewards. Any thinking person can see that Pirates stand to gain hugely on several fronts should they allow Dauda the chance to prepare properly for the world cup.It will help him maintain his number one position with the Black Stars and also help him shine at the world cup thereby bumping up his market price which will go to Pirates.Thirdly if Dauda is treated well he will be a happy and loyal player whose contribution and sacrifices will always mirror that of the team's.An exact example is Asamoah Gyan who was so demoralized after his missed penalty shot at AFCON he was said to be on the verge of a serious nervous breakdown.When his Arab employers heard of the ordeal Gyan was enduring they sent a chartered plan to pick him up and take him directly to them.Not only did they managed to save his confidence but gained a loyal player who has rebuffed several attempts by other teams in The middle east and Europe.My advise to Dauda is that if this team refuses to help you reach epic potential then look elsewhere at your first opportunity.

I WROTE EARLIER THAT THIS IS FOOTBALL PSYCHOLOGY - GHANA'S NATIONAL GOAL-KEEPER NOT EVEN GOOD ENOUGH FOR SOUTH AFRICAN LEAGUE, WHEN THEY CANNOT EVEN QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP! THE AFRICAN COUNTRIES PRETEND THEY LIKE GHANA WHEN WE STRIVE TO EXCEL TO SAVE THE FACE OF THE CONTINENT. DAUDA AND AA MUST SHOW THEM WE ARE ABOVE THIS GAME OF ELEMENTARY PSYCHOLOGY.

This team came for Dauda because of his W/C ambition, other than that, they don't need him. Prepare him to serve your team good but not for W/C.

Haa I daff.

How can you explain Fatau Dauda hiring the Black Star goalkeeper trainer to be come his on trainer?

How can you explain Nasam Yakubu nonsensical statement on how to pick a player?

Everything Nasam Yakubu and Fatau Dauda had said pointed to palm handshaking deals only a typical Ghana man like Rasheed would not see it as the saying goes "birds of the same feather flock together".

You would be doing samething when you become GFA President.

It's obvious that Fatawu wouldn't have made it on the team of serious nation in football like any of the European countries by looking at his predicament.

Lucky for him he has his tribe's man as a coach and will be more than willing to pay a bribe to get the chance to keep as the number one over a consistent comrade.If consistency is not the issue why is his boss at the club now willing to give him the opportunity to keep in order to make it to Brazil. AFRICAN MENTALITY IS SUICIDAL.

It's obvious that Fatawu wouldn't have made it on the team of any serious football loving nation in Europe or even some African countries by looking at his predicament.

Lucky for him he has tribes man on his side as the goal keepers coach and will be more than willing to pay a bribe to keep as the number one over a consistent comrade. If consistency is not the issue, why is his boss now willing to give him more playing time in order to make it to Brazil. What about the subsequent tournaments that will require the services of a consistent keeper. AFRICAN MENTALITY IS SUICIDAL. Even Mancity's Joe Hart was kept on the bench for good reasons before he worked his way back into the post again.

if pirates have a better goal keeper, should they be forced to bench him because of dauda. let the coach tell us that dauda is the best now so he deserves the number 1 spot. if he is not and we are made to accept he is the best wouldn't that be injurious to ghana? if he is not the best in his club but our best in training so be it; and iam tempted to believe so. just watch the output of home-based south african players and compare that out put to our home-based players at the CHAN. which of our players at CHAN can replace any of the players south africa is parading at the chan? lets face it our senior national team seemed to be making it big because we have good spirit during a big tournament.

That's good news but he should learn to dress well as a goal-keeper, not like a cart pusher/puller in Pusiga.

playing for Orlando Pirates and playing in a European League, be it, the Norwegian league, which one is better?

Tell me against the likes of non African teams who is more useful Kwarasey or Dauda?

Look, we all know the answer...the fact that even others such as Daniel Adjei are not even being given a chance...a keeper who played for the U20 WC winning team, says it all.

Bribes, nepotism, incompetence, who knows.

If this is our World-Cup Goalkeeper then we need a miracle. Because he has no experience handling European (Portugal and Germanay) soccer. He can't handle crosses just like did in Egypt!

If you believe in JUJU, what makes you think Kwarasey and Agyei are not serious masters of JUJU but Fatau is?
Is Kwarasey a saint? The same should be asked about Daniel Agyei.
Since I don't believe in Juju, I'll depend on their performances, especially when they are together to make my analysis.
Many keep talking about Fatau Dauda being rusty, not playing, he is on the bench etc.
Kwarasey on the otherhand is not proving his worth at training with the Stars either. Kwarasey can be the best Golie in the world but if at training ground where all our Stars who are equal in calibre and even better than some world class players we are going to face at the World Cup assemble to try him and Dauda and he fails to live up to the task or expectation, Akwasi Appiah will continue to use Dauda and it makes perfect sense period!
Orlando Pirates I knew came in quickly for Dauda because they know his worth and what he can do with time to come. They also knew he will be a Star and worth millions after the World Cup, hence bought him from hungry Gold Fields who lacked that fore sight.
This Fatau guy is very good but most Ghanaians are just failing or intentionally do not want to admit. Watch his tapes at AFCON 2013 and the crucial qualifiers and be the judge. It takes a goalie with a heart to withstand the pressure of qualifiers to help his nation qualify.
Also, watch Kwarasey's tapes of AFCON 2012 in Guinea and be the judge as well.
For those who don't know or fail to admit, there are technical differences between league matches, qualifying series and tournaments like the AFCON and World Cup. With the league matches players and teams always play with known faces and teams on their own soil. Qualifying series on the other hand does not give the teams the luxury opportunity to play the teams and players they know totally on their home soil; they meet teams randomly picked for them. Tournaments are completely different, here you play various matches almost on few days’ basis and are keenly competitive; sometimes you don't even know the team you are playing in the next round should you qualify.
With the above analysis, you'll agree with me that Kwarasey can be the best in the Norwegian league, captain of his side and the voted best goalie. However, tournaments and qualifying series are different ball games. Does he have the confidence for the later two? Have we not seen his best at a tournament? Be the judge.
Dauda was his side's captain too (Obuasi Goldfields) and he won man of the match at the AFCON 2013 in South Africa (a rare achievement for Goal Keepers). He performs at training with the Black Stars and the technical team sees and knows it period. It is up to the Coach and the Keeper's trainer to sharpen his loose ends and he's a gem! Orlando Pirates know that. It is just unfortunate he met another great Goalie at the team.
Kwarasey by my estimation is not playing for any team outside Norway where he lived almost all his life. He probably might be on the bench for a team outside Norway too just like Fatau who was regular with Obuasi GF.
Let's see who is better to be in the post at the World Cup In the coming months, when they both get to keep in our friendly matches.
