YES, KISSI COULD STILL IMPROVE, BUT THE OTHERS SHOULD NOT BE CAST OUT. AFTER ALL WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM WITH MASAWUDU AND DAVID ADDY? WHAT ABOUT RAHMAN AND AKAMINKO? AT LEAST WE SHOULD HAVE 2 OR 3 EQUALLY GOOD LEFT BACKS, AND S ...

YES, KISSI COULD STILL IMPROVE, BUT THE OTHERS SHOULD NOT BE CAST OUT. AFTER ALL WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM WITH MASAWUDU AND DAVID ADDY? WHAT ABOUT RAHMAN AND AKAMINKO? AT LEAST WE SHOULD HAVE 2 OR 3 EQUALLY GOOD LEFT BACKS, AND SAME FOR THE RIGHT BACK POSITION. OUR PLAYERS MUST BE ADAPTABLE OR THE SAKE OF CRITICAL SITUATIONS.

POLO IF YOU THINK KISSI IS THAT PERFECT LEFT BACK FOR GHANA, WHAT IS HE DOING IN AFRICA. THE WORLD CUP IS NOT FOR MEDIOCRE PLAYERS. PLAYING FOR AFRICA CLUB IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO CLAIM PERFECTION. LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO A. GYAN. I AGREE WITH THE QUALITY OF MASAWUDU AND DAVID ADDY BOTH WITH ONGOING OVERSEAS LEFT BACK POSITION SKILLS DEVELOPMENT. WHAT I SEE IS TRIBAL FAVORITISM AT ITS BEST, THE GHANA MODEL. APPIAH'S PROMOTION HOPING TO SELL ABROAD THE KISSI, AFFUL AND THE SOLOMON ASANTE OR VERY FEW AKANS WILL BE LEFT IN THE TEAM.

You're partly right but I also agree with Polo; I think Polo is looking for reliability, potentiality, and future. If Kissi is given more playing time with good coaching he will be more formidable than the other guys. Howevr, we need to use some of the guys you mentioned as subs in case kissi is not available. Another problem is Ghanaians mostly look for quick fixes and that needs to stop or we find any lasting solution to our problems.

IF YOUR STATEMENT IS RIGHT THEN THE NATIONAL TEAM CORE SHOULD BE LOCAL PLAYERS AND THE INTERNATIONAL PLAYAERS SUBSTITUTES. THE BLACK STARS TEAM IS NOT FOR TRAINING. IT IS FOR QUALITY PLAYERS ALREADY TO DEFEND GHANA IN THE GAME OF FOOTBALL.GHANA'S WEAKNESS FOR THE WORLD CUP IS THE DEFENCE AND WAS DEMONSTRATED DURING THE JUST ENDED AFCON GAMES. THIS HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM IN ALMOST ALL AREAS OF GHANA DEVELOPMENT. THEY IGNORE QUALITY FOR MEDIOCRES, UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE OF TRIBALISM AND CORRUPTION.

Senior national teams are made up of already established players, who are playing all over the globe, and who are assembled for a short period of time during a particular tournament. It is foolish to use senior national teams as training grounds because it is simply impossible to mold such a transient group into a cohesive team, especially when they come and go from diverse league systems and training.

POLO, OSEI KOFI AND ROBERT MENSAH, THE BEST PLAYERS GHANA HAS EVER SEEN. ABEDI AND OTHERS MAY HAVE WON TITLES, BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN THEY WERE BETTER PLAYERS. I AM CALLING IT AS I SAW IT AND MANY WILL AGREE WITH ME.

Osei Kofi singly won the African cup for Ghana in Tunis in 1965. Many Tunisians named their children after him. He won the cup twice.

"without huge success" Polo is saying without huge success with Sarpei at the Black Stars left full back position? Is Polo certain of that?

Hans Adu Sarpei played till he become old. He succeeded playing that position like Polo did in his days, I'm talking about internationally not domestically. How long played the Black Stars and compare to how long Hans Adu Sarpei played, though the was a break in Hans time of play.

It was the fact that Papoe wasn't getting along with the player because Sarpei made it a point not to kiss anyone's behind. That pissed some GFA folks off and decided to go against him for two years. Yes, they succeeded and he was cut from the squad; however, he came back. Has Polo forgot so soon? Hans came back and player for the Black Stars during the 2010 AFCON which, we ended up in the finals and lost to Egypt. He also excelled during the qualification to the 2010 WC and also the WC tournament itself where we reached far.

With this record, is Polo telling me, Hans didn't succeed in playing this position? How is Polo measuring this success? I will like to know that.

Now, Massawudu Alhassan was once, if I'm not mistaking, the best player in one of the matches played in the 2012 AFCON tournament. Even most of us gave him more than one time MVP in those matches played during the 2012 AFCON. To me, Massawudu Alhassan succeeded in playing this left full back position too. It is unfortunate that he has been struggling since his returned to his mother club after AFCON 2012.

Therefore, get it right, Mohamed Polo and give credit to whom credit is due.

You and Polo needs to get into the ring and take care of business looks like you are always ready to chase him out of town. From the day he said he was better than Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi during his hay days you are always ready to hit him below belt. Give the oldman some room.

Polo should stop this nonsense because Kissi Boateng is not the solution.
