ABSOLUTELY. The coach should not bow down to any sentimental pressure to call washed up players just because they WERE very good in their prime many years ago.
I am in total agreement let common sense rule not sentiments or media speculation after all how "tick" is the Cyprus league and how can you fairly analysis someone base on 3 matches.
My brother, Do not listen that good-for-nothing Oti "Kente". He is just an empty basket. What did he achieve as a coach.I do not blame him for occupying that position, but that gangrenous Nyantakyi. Of course he needs dumb me ...

"Listen to", "he can misbehave"
Stop talking against sentiment Oti , lf there are no sentiment why Akwasi Appiah keep calling Afful for left back while we have many players who are good left backs like Lee Ardy, Massawudu and David Ardy
This Guy is all business, you doubters have to give him that! To have fought against being forcibly retired early alone says a lot about his ability - can-do-attitude!! Give the Manste the break he needs, Mayele and see pre ...

At the 2007 Women's World Cup semi-final, US coach Greg Ryan placed Briana Scurry instead of Hope Solo in goal against Brazil for what looked like good-old-days sentimantal reasons.
Result: Brazil 4, US 0.
We can learn fr ...

Currently Fatau is dormant and bit rusty as evidenced in our match against Zambia. Kwarasey is not all fit due to injury. So who else should we use?, POW or Mr.N?.Demba is a keeper and knows what is saying. Hmm, "A word to th ...

I would go with Fatau in the first game.
He was there against Zambia.
He will bring along his familiarity with the turf in that high-tension game.
He looks more confident than Kwasey in the posts.
He is as intimidat ...

Diamond, for Fatau Dauda to be our number one choice, I don't think anyone disagree that. The same way I don't disagree of bringing in Richard Kingston if only he is fit and good to become our third choice keeper. We don't ha ...

Slimzay is Olele now on the list of players you are representing or managing just a question making sure there is no conflict of interest here, since you are player manager.
There are equal and good players in the local le ...

No bro, I'm not representing anyone of these high ranking players. I wish though.
I'm glad you brought in the U-20 team that won the third place at the recent wc. Their goalkeeper who was in poles at the last match, I thin ...

Slimmer is not representing any player neither is he selfish as some of us do. He's just being realistic.
Even tho some of these local players could be good, vouching for any of them at this eleventh hour, is untenable. W ...

Prof S'Berta I know you missed the good old days so you want to see some of the old days come back. Hay times are changing fast and we need to change with it. Olele for all intent and purpose had Crossed the Rubicon and 24 m ...

Let sleeping dogs lie.
Fatau, Kwasey and whoever that third one is.
If Kingson comes in and concedes one goal, you'll see how 99% of the people here will react.
You mean one goal? Count me in and make the percentage 100 because I will as well. Diamond, I don't think even if he is called, he would be our number one goalie. This means he is coming to sit on the bench unless something d ...

No, Chaplain, no heart attack here.
Just looking forward.
If I were Mensah or Olele, I would not even accept.
I'm not against them.
I'm just against looking back.
But if they're called, I'll respect the coach's deci ...

Fatau or Kwarasey conceding any kind of goal would still meet the conventional wrath of the people.
The very act of conceding a goal is every goalkeeper's nightmare. But these goal that whisk past keepers are inevitable.

You and I were not there, so use pink sheets analysis to determine the call up of those players
Yes you and I were not there :)
Am 35 years and saw Kingston playing for black stars when I was a boy. I guess the man don't age
I LIKE KINGSTON BUT AGAINST THE RECALL BECAUSE LACK OF CONTINUITY, AGE AND POSSIBLY LACK OF FLEXIBILITY, AND ABOVE ALL POOR PENALTY PERFORMANCE. STAY WITH THE YOUNG AND ACTIVE. FOR THE COACH AND THE GFA, BOTH ARE USELESS. WHY ...

nonsense about Kingston's age. Italian goalkeeper Dino Zoff was the oldest goalkeeper to win a World Cup in 1982. Against west Germany in the finals he was at his best with spectacular saves. We need experience to win. This i ...

FROM 72 TO 1990 ZOFF PLAYED AND WAS THE NUMBER 1 GOALIE FOR JUVENTUS. IN THOSE YRS, JUVE WON THE ITALIAN CUP IN THEE YRS WITH ZOFF AS JUVE;S NUMBER 1 GOALIE. 1972–73, 1974–75, 1976–77, 1977–78, 1980–81, 1981–82, ...

FATAU DAUDA IS BUSY WARMING THE BENCH IN RSA AND IS USING WORK PERMIT AS EXCUSE , LIES!!!
get him to get used to the defenders
I personally think our goalkeeping department is a bit shaky. When Kingson was around, there was a bit more security and confidence with him in the post. I don't feel the same with Dauda and Kwarasey. He deserves a recall!
Olele is much stabler and experienced than Fatau. It will do the whole nation good to recall Olele.
WAT IS WRONG WITH GH PPL? ITS AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT. WAT IS WRONG WITH FATAU? I THINK HE IS EVEN BETER THAN HE WAS WHEN HE WAS IN GH. IN S AFRICA, HE IS LEARNING WITH BETTER COACHES, BETTER GOALIES, MORE IMPROVED COMPETITION ...

For those of you saying Kingson is very old, you don't know football. Do you know how old the Egyptian and Nigerian goalkeepers are??
I see Fatau as a skilful keeper and we have to repose our confidence in him.In football,psychology plays an important role.Simply tell Fatau and our defenders that the destiny of Ghana is in their hands and they will do it.Bu ...

ghanians must take it dat kingston and john mensah are dead ok,we r tired of old bolla goods ok
Do we have a good third choice keeper?
If not why not recall Kingson as a backup for Dauda and Kwarasey, if Kingson is back to fitness and playing regularly for his team?
By the way, where are the Addys, the goalkeeper ...

STEPHEN APPAIAH SHOULD CALL AGAIN
I bat for neither side of the argument but if thruth be told, Fatau Dauda is also not playing at Orlando Pirates. The guy is warming the bench in the steaming summer season (southern hemisphere) in South Africa
how can we use 50yrs old man ply ghanaians why
The last time Kingson was in the Blackstar, his bones was given him away. everything hurt on his body hurt.he always had on a neck brace. please the guy is old. let him stay in Cyprus.
Yes Kingston and John men's ah needed urgently for Egypt clash.The funny thing is most of this people have not even played football and don't know that big names scares opponents and give a psychological edge over opponents l ...
