Hahaha -funny oh funny. Now Ghana has qualified so the ‘vultures’ are circling over the dead brains of those doing their PR. Yes, we definitely need every qualified Ghanaian everywhere to beef up our WCup squad, but these boys ,Odoi and Nketiah, are too cunning for my liking: snubbed us saaaaa, now they’re dusting their patriotism to come and ‘shine’ for which Ghana? Nkrumah’s Ghana or Snake-oil’s Ghana? Apuuuuuuuuu

The essence of adding new players to a soccer team for an impending higher-level tournament is to strategically enhance the squad's strengths and rectify weaknesses with targeted talent. The objective is not simply to add numbers but to introduce specific skills, tactical depth, and fresh perspectives to prepare for more challenging competition. To some of us who through this ghanaweb comment’s section urged them (players) not to come because of past “mistreatment” of others in the past, are now saying “We don’t want them “. Let me be simple, if Kotoko or Hearts are to represent Ghana in next year’s CAF championship would it right or wrong to augment their teams? To we the hypocrites, assuming Doku, Gapko, Mainoo, ,Alonzo Davis.,Harlan, Mbape have Ghanaian roots and are not attached to any country, are we going to say NO! The World Cup is like a month old thing. Mr Otto Addo, note this, the mouths that are saying NO today are going to be the ones that will blame you for not augmenting the squad. Today there are modern and sophisticated and advanced weapons; if there is a war with another country , God forbid, are going to ride horses with chariots and bows and arrows? What makes France, Germany, etc great soccer nations. The answer is over 75% of players come from all over the world. From now to the beginning of the next World Cup, let’s play matches and assess them. Somebody just whispered in my ears saying, if they join the team, the current players would not be happy. Really, before they were called up for the Black Stars, others were dropped. Little politics; what happened when Akuffo Addo refused to drop Ken Ofori-Atta, what was the consequence? Your guess is good as mine,,,,As professionals, I believed they are going to be professionals and would not care about who join hem. Assuming all of sudden, a local player is playing like Abedi or Polo or Osei Kofi or Razak or O Ansah must he be considered OR not

@Yaa Yaa Konongo, you are such a stupid boy indeed. Foolish boy!! Respect comes before everything in this world. What kind of animal raised you, to be able to go back and call these boys who directly told you to "go away?" You are such a mad boy! If it is Eddie Nketia and Hudson Odoi whose exclusion will cost us a place in the World Cup, so be it. We shall be keeping our dignity.

Re CK… When a person lacks the intellectual or emotional capacity to debate or understand a complex issue, their ego is threatened. Insults serve as a defense mechanism to mask this insecurity and avoid admitting their lack of understanding. Why the verbal attack? Is it because I made my thoughts known? When a fool keeps quiet, they are considered wise. The pressure to comment online can be more intense, but you are not obligated to contribute. In simple terms, It is not by force to comment on ghanaweb.. Ignorant people like you who only know insults are a curse to our nation….Okay ! ….CK, are you the same Cheap Kusie (cheap rat) as your initials suggests; Please come again! I’m repeating a line from my previous comment that, would you be happy if kotoko or hearts augment their squads because of an impending CAF championship. Is that not a as simple as ABC… Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet…..

In as much as we need to augment the squad, we should also acknowledge the fact that we approached these two individuals who were reluctant to play for mother Ghana.
Now that we are bound for the world cup that they are willing to join us without any strings? Is that commitment on their part? I don't think so. It is only when their attempts to penetrate into the English team failed that they've Nicodemously shown interest in representing Ghana. I wouldn't consider that as a willing interest to be part of a cause. They are being opportunistic. We should try to avoid that.

While your argument appears to be sound, you miss the point. No one is saying, the coach should not augment the team. However, he should do that with committed players and not opportunistic players. These players were invited at a time when Ghana really needed them and they refused because they were hoping to be called to the English National team. You use Germany as an example but no German playing anywhere in the world will refuse a call up to the German National team. They see it an honor. Unfortunately the likes of Hudson Odoi, Nketiah and Welbeck only saw it an opportunity to exploit. As a nation, we should send out a clear message that we won’t tolerate this kind of attitude.

Is very sad for Ghanaians to easily forget and cannot take stock of our history. Sports personalities who played football few decades cannot be verified as Hearts of Oak players, just like the case of Bismack Odoi. The journalist can easily research from the newspapers between 1976 - 1979. At that period Hearts of Oak were blessed with impact players like Adolf Armah, Mohammed Polo, Douglas Tagoe, Bismack Odoi, John Yawson, Samuel Suppey,.Seth Ampadu, etc etc .Most of these players are still alive including journalist who wrote for our newspapers.
So I do not expect the writer of this story to show a shed of doubt as to whether Bismack Odoi played for Hearts.
