@frimprich22@YawMintYM It’s a shame that we are here making claims for players who play with players who can’t even control and pass a ball. Even countries like Morocco who arguably have one of the best leagues on this continent aren’t making this case for their local players..smh
@frimprich22@YawMintYM Playing in certain leagues in Europe makes you better player per the standard their league than gpl. And don’t you also believe that an average player playing in Europe top five leagues will be a superstar when playing in gpl my brother?
You people think succeeding in Europe is easy eh?
Salim Adams, arguably the best player in the Ghana Premier League this season, couldn’t even make it at an MLS B team.
Albert Amoah was the best striker in the league, and people were calling for his national team call-up. He moved to Libya, couldn’t cut it, and was shipped back to Ghana within two months.
Kwame Opoku was balling here and CK gave him a deserved call. He moved to Algeria and went off the radar. He’s back at Kotoko with barely any attention.
Kwame Peprah was the top striker in Ghana in 2021. Many asked for him to be picked for the Black Stars, he wasn’t. He left to South Africa. Find out where he plays now four years down the line.
Fatawu Mohammed was Hearts of Owk captain when Ck gave him a start against South Africa at the FNB stadium. He had a really poor game and later claimed he was affected by the stadium. Mind you, there were no fans in the stadium because it was during COVID.
Richmond Lamptey was said to be better than most of the midfielders in the Black Stars and people asked for his inclusion in the Afcon 2023 squad. And I quite like him because he’s a really good player and had the experience to back him. Hughton picked him. He didn’t play any minutes of course. After that he left for Rwanda and now plays in Libya.
I could go on with examples of top GPL players who couldn’t succeed in lower-tier leagues abroad, despite claims that they were better than players based in Europe.
So the argument about lack of opportunity doesn’t hold. Many have had chances outside Ghana, but were sent back because they simply weren’t considered good enough.
This isn’t an attack on GPL players. But every position in the national team must be earned.
We can’t lower the standard or create a different set of criteria in the name of “giving them a chance.” Earn the chance.
Some players have done it before, the current ones can too.
@kyei_norbert This agenda no hold my brother—Even your best local guys who flopped in countries like Libya, Tunisia et al still returns to gpl and blow. Your league is flop and below the standards
@EduardoHagn You’ve got soo much hatred for Partey. How many defensive midfielders who are better than Partey at the moment including Rice. Is time you stop making useless comments
