Dramani suggests comprehensive monitoring system to track Ghanaian players
Posted On Thursday, 1st November 2012
Coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani
Coach Mas-Ud Dramani has called for an extensive monitoring system to capture the several budding talents in Ghana.
The Asante Kotoko coach himself benefitted from an efficient scouting and monitoring system when he led the Ghana U-17 women’s team to an historic bronze medal at the World Cup in Azerbaijan.
The astute tactician has suggested to the Ghana FA’s technical Directorate to put in a comprehensive monitoring system to rope in talents coming through rather than chasing them when they become famous.
“The academies have proven how far emphasis on juvenile football can help the country,” he told Angel FM.
“But mind you most of the young players we have are not in the academies so what happens to these talents?
“The Welbeck (Danny) we tried getting, the Balotelli (Mario) we tried getting, did we really put in a monitoring system such that when they were 14 years they could be picked up?
“We can have them and organize some few international matches so they feel some sense of nationalism and patriotism at that tender age.
“We have not done so, we only go chasing them when they gain limelight and then we try to get them but by then it will be too late because other countries that have been responsible for their development will also want them.”
Ghana have struggled in juvenile competitions in recent years but for the U-20 side’s World Cup feat in 2009.

dead news gsn!
Dead for you but not historians of the game
is GFA now informed about this basic idea. Go to arsenal youth or chelsea youth or even youth teams of most of the famous clubs in the world and you will see Players with Ghanaian parents and full Ghanaian names but GFA don’t exist for them. How many international players are involved in Ghana U17 team. its as if we dont need them when they are struggling to come through on the big stage. GFA is short of ideas
Good idea coach. Very good idea. Let’s get Memphis Depay of PSV now. It might be late in the future.
Pls my brother, help me and tell the GFA to wake up for this briliant idear. God bless this coach.
WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. GFA SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON THE GH KIDDIES. THE WELBECKS AND BALOTELLI HAD A CHOICE. THEY MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR CAREERS. THERE IS A REASON WHY FIFA HAS THE CLAUSE IN THEIR RULING. IF THE KID GROWS UP AND WANTS TO JOIN GH, FINE. IF NOT THATS ALSO FINE. THE DEVELOPMNT PROCESS THE KIDS IN EUROPE GOT THRU IS MORE DISCIPLINED AND ENDURING THAN WHAT GH KIDS GO THRU. IN GH, KIDS PLAY GUTTER TO GUTTER TILL THEY JOIN A COLTS OR CLUB. THIS IS NOT THE SAME IN EUROPE. IF GFA PLUCK THESE KIDS EARLY, CHANCES ARE GH WILL BE DOING THEM A DISSERVICE.
