Somehow there is an ACL open season on BS players. Over to you Jerome Opoku. We can also bring in Patric Pfeiffer, right-footed.

He needs to talk to Fatawu. He came back pretty quick, otherwise time may not be on his side.

January is the beginning of something bigger ahead for you. Build in silence. Your best budget this year is your "Training & Personal Development Budget".Train for better daily income this year - Start Early, Start Now. Smartphone repair & accessories is one of the few skills that still pays daily, even in hard times. Phones break every day. People fix them the same day, that's money changing hands fast. Many unemployed people, even those with jobs — are learning this skill quietly to support themselves, or gifting the book to train siblings, relatives, or community youths. Many are buying copies to empower others this season, instead of giving other gifts that finish. GET Chukky Oparandu’s guide - it breaks it down clearly for beginners: repairs, flashing, accessories sales — the skill opens doors into IT careers. No big capital. Just a skill you earn from once you apply it. If you’re planning ahead for 2026, this is one move people are already making. Rush now, Search “Chukky Oparandu” on Amazon or visit selar.co/m/chukky (French edition "Gagnez de l'Argent en Réparant des Téléphones & Tablettes" Available!). Don’t miss his blockbuster career guide:“IT Career: A Roadmap” ,x 0x

Otto just enjoys the enumeration and not the demands of the job. Sad that our beloved national team has been reduced to such mediocrity whereby the team is on experiment with an untested coach.
Aside the Black Stars, can anyone name a national team or a club ever coached by Otto.
This man is not fit for the job. We've kept quiet for far too long and we will pay the price dearly.

You just hate Otto Addo and feels this is a nice opportunity to attack him.What role has he played in the collapse of local football?Are you happy with the performance of GFA & Ministry of Sports?

Salisu is good but he’s vulnerable, he is not quick and lacks turning maybe this is the time to find a young and quick defender to replace him immediately
I think the GFA can help Otto Addo to choose a better player

I totally agree
Every player has their strengths and he has that ability but remember defense is the main responsibility

Masa, his presence will not bring anything positive. The current black stars players are not doing the nation any good. I wish the country uses only local players in one of these tournaments. Just watch the performance of less known football countries like Benin, Mozambique, Burkina Faso etc in the ongoing AFCON,2025. Ghana would have been eliminated at the group stages as usual if they were there. Even plastic cup, black stars has not brought one to Ghana.

Nonsense, you compare BS to these teams? What have they won? They use local players because that's all they got. BS has attempted to bring in local players. They do not measure up.

Salisu was one of our best defenders in the WC qualifiers!!
Why is Ghanaweb referring to Alexander Djiku as a backup? He is no backup as he and Salisu are in our starting lineup if there are no injuries.

Not only that, Salisu is left footed Djiku is right footed.

I wish him soonest recovery.
But this may turn out a blessing in disguise for BS. I think there are better better defenders in the BS than Salisu e.g. Jonas Adjetey

Adjetey is good but we needed Sailus’s experience and leadership. Hopefully Jerome Opoku will step up . I don’t think we will miss Susu so much though because central defense is not a a problem for us. The unique thing about Salisu is his left foot. He’s not any extraordinary player. He’s no John Mensah. I don’t even think he’s as good as John Boye. If we need a left footed center back to replace him we have Jerome Opoku. Hopefully he stays fit

Wish you speedy recovery. Time to look for a proper centre back, Otto. But please not Joseph Aidoo please.
We already have useless Alidu and gideon.
