Where was this Oduro guy when Ghana was playing the qualifiers?.
Coach Nimley please stop this agenda. It won't help.
Of all Ghanaian goalkeepers in Europe, why Oduro?
Whatever amount, they gave you, send it back to them.

These stupid Ghanaian pundits turn goro boys will promote any local player for WC appearance fees. Ati Zigi, the player with WC experience benched for untested Asare. As if that was not enough, now you have Agbesi and Oduro, ...

Bro. Oduro is not a local goalkeeper, he plays for AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands. The players playing in the local league are not good enough like Otto Addo himself
That not too good enough players qualified us to the world cup which Asare was integral. Why didn't you people make those arguments during the qualifiers?
How many matches did Asare play during the qualifies? When Asare was giving the opportunity, Ghana was already toping the group.
We wasted our time on supposed local top players like Abagna, Corsa, Afreyie Barnieh, Simpson, Richmond Lamptey, Jerry Afriyieh, and others. Where are they now. Only Asare had a staying power, though the jury is still out on ...

And you are using a player who plays in the Dutch league as a yardstick for selection? Some of these half-baked pundits are very funny sometimes!
Yea, you the best local thing we have but you play yours from this platform. Arrogant thing!
Pure facts!!!
my friend we need the best players for ghana. those that played in the qualifiers were paid end of the matter. We are meeting the world best players so you need the best players for ghana
Why did you not called your so called best to pay them same to qualify you? All the time ghana won tournaments local players dominated. Low self esteemed persons like you only see foreign as best. Tell Nimley his AZ Akmaar ke ...

Local BS never won anything and NEVER dominated in BS shirt. It is a privilege for them to get a call up to boost profile but are not entitled to a spot if they can't hold it down. Same to foreign based players.
"........All the time ghana won tournaments local players dominated...."
He is talking about the era of Aggrey Fynn, Acquah, Salisu, Baba Yara and dem dem....
That was at least 10,000 YEARS ago.....
"....Asare all the way......"
You dey craze. This has NOTHING to do with where he was during the qualifiers wae. The guy made spellbinding arguments as to why Asare may not be the best option.....
You too make good argu ...

Like you are good coach,kotoko should have called for your service, shut down your big mouth over there
gibberish..
Personally I don't think the BS will qualify from the 1st Rd. We don't have a good team.The 2006 team did well well bcoz of experience and skillful talents from juvenile competitions that our National teams took partn in. .A ...

Very stupid talk from Coach Nimley, Ghana football is in tatters, tell the FA to send ex footballers now studying coaching to Senegal to understudy what Senegal is doing differently & come back with meaningful results

Coach Nimley was trying to compare goalkeeper Oduro to Richard Kingson..The later has played at the top level in Turkey b4 coming to upstaged Sammy Adjei.Kingson excelled in the local league also in 1989 b4 joining Galatassa ...

He’s an emotional idiot who resorts to yelling and screaming just because the audience enjoy him for comic relief. Oduro will not play for Ghana unless he realizes Netherlands thinks he’s not good enough. Instead of these ...

Was he keeping goal when we were playing the qualifiers?
If it's exposure, the international friendlies will shape them
Return the money you have collected from Owusu-Oduro
Again, were you not the one who said Otto Addo esha kportoor?
so leave him alone to form his gberler squad and let him take full responsibility
Coach Nimley's suggesting makes a lot of sense.our emotions should not take the better part of us
Team psychology is needed at this stage. Can Goalkeeper Oduro speak any of our local languages, to see the threat and remind our local players on how to position themselves ? Football is not about names.
Nonsense, how do you think Inaki, Tariq, Djiku Opoku, Semenyo comunicate. How do you think our foreign based players communicate at their clubs. English is our official language.
Rubbish talker
Remember Sammy Adjei, Olele, Owu and compare them to Ati Zigi and that other guy whats his name sef. we shd stop being emotional and analyse what the coach has said. Asare is good and will surely be at the World Cup but he is ...

Olele stood taller above alll those goalkeepers you listed. Richard Kingson had excelled in Turkey 15yrs years after leaving Ghana as a teenager. Those he met in 2006 were far bellow his status.At the moment Ghana do not have ...

So, Ati Zigi who has been tested at the highest level, including world cup is a borla player agsinst untested Asare? What a fvcked up way of thinking. Asare will be exposed BIG time.
When people take money from others and want to push their agenda this is what happens.
What’s the problem in the goalkeeping area? Why do we always do this to our local Footballers?
Why are Ghanaians so ungrateful? Where from this Nimley guy? Where was that goal keeper when we were playing the qualifiers? At least we must show appreciation rather than condemning our keeper's efforts. Ghanaians like these ...

Nonsense. Another World cup chop chop monday coach. Tribalist Ashantiman where was this your Oduro when BS need patriots to save Ghana? You are full of dung!
Oh, so, Dr. Mumbi Seraki is not a lunatic, lolol..or may be someone put him on his madication...lol...lol.
I mean he is not wrong. Because we need someone to challenge Asare for that #1 shirt. The more competition, the better off we will be. If Asare proves himself worthy of being #1, then he stays. If not, he gets dropped. Person ...

Have you ever watched this Oduro guy in action? Why is he the ine to provide competition?
Hopeless argument. The same fool will come and berate people is his preferred foreign based players don't perform and will argue that local talents were ignored. Come to think about it if a keeper is llwell able to save mispl ...

100% right
Apuuuuuuuuu, the Asamoah Gyan's, Essiens, Sammy Adjei's, Muntaris, Kwadwo Asamoah's, Harisson Affuls, John Boye's, Anthony Annan's, Stephen Appiah's, Jerry Akaminko's,Augustine Arhinfuls etc all came from the Ghana league.

And besides Appiah, Essien, Kwajo Asamoah,which better clubs did the rest played for? Sammy Adjei was a local champion just like Taylor
Thanks coach Nimley, you have raised a very important point most of us haven't seen or thought about. International football is very different levels to the Ghana league, I agree. What the GFA could've done was to have found ...

This bullshit PR work to replace Benjamin Asare is not sticking. Most of these players know the world cup stage is the biggest marketing stage. Thus these stock players in relegation fighting teams want to replace more solid ...

Coach Nimly is just making an emotional statement. Here is that boy's record:
Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro has conceded 26 goals in 16 Eredivisie matches for AZ Alkmaar during the 2025/26 season. He has kept 4 clean sheets in tho ...

The four teams Jayden kept a clran sheet against are Telstar, volendam, sparta and Ajax Armsteedam. Telstar and volendam are relegation teams. Against top and mid table clubs, Jayden collected 2.5 goals per match. So he canno ...

Why he finished his political career and come back football again? Or because his boss Kennedy Agyapong lost so he runs away.
Useless coach that never coach any team before.
This man is soo funny
This Nimley man is a joker, a fool of the Ajax Bucsna type. He can continue his foolishness on.yhr various tvs
Ben Asare is the one have now. He has been tested at least. We can only encourage him to do better. That Owusu being talked about is not even in the Black Star squad yet, for him to be compared with who we know.
What stats of oduro guy. He has bad stats.
Which team does he coach anyway? How is his team performing. Opinion are like noses each ........
