TP Mazembe closing in on Chelsea’s Ibrahim Issaka
Posted On Thursday, 13th September 2012
Issaka Ibrahim is being courted by TP Mazembe
By Patrick Akoto
Berekum Chelsea are close to agreeing a deal with TP Mazembe over midfielder Ibrahim Issaka.
Mazembe have set their eyes of the exciting enforcer having failed in their bid to sign striker Emmanuel Clottey.
The 26-year-old caught the eyes of Mazembe coach Lamine N’Diaye when he came on as a second half substitute during their Caf Champions group game at Lubumbashi where he excelled.
Talks between the two clubs have reached an advanced stage and Isaaka has admitted he is poised to join the four-time African champions.
“It is true that TP Mazembe are interested in me. Once a team is interested in you then I should assume that they really want to sign you,” Issaka told Kumasi-based Fox FM
“Officials of the club (Mazembe) have been speaking to the club regularly and hopefully a deal can be struck soon.
“They have spoken to me as well and I believe in the coming weeks we will see how it goes.
“I will urge our fans to continue praying for us because when the door open for us, we will go and make our nation proud.
“It will also afford the other players the chance to follow in our trail blazing. Everybody wants to progress in his career.”
Issaka will get another chance to impress officials again when Chelsea host Mazembe in the final group game in the continental elite inter-club competition in Accra on Sunday.

ZAMBIA CAPTAIN IS A JUJU MAN
Football Association of Zambia (FAZ)

To all those who are spreading juju rumors about our beloved team captain Christopher Katongo, may you be shamed in the nearest time because you have no appreciation for good things. The team yes could have done better against Uganda but without the inspirational goal from our able and gallant captain it would have been worse. He may not even be the best
player in the team but he is captain because he is a leader, a noble man who fights hard for the pride of his country. Chris deserves respect from all soccer loving Zambians because he has made us proud not on one occasion but on so many occasions. He scored the all important goal against Equatorial Guinea at the Africa cup, he was the first Zambian captain to lift the Africa cup trophy and he will always be the first player to score the first goal in our first modern international stadium. Chris keep on doing what you do best we are behind you and will always support you just like we supported our soccer icon the Great Kalu. Please ba FAZ pass on my message to our wonderful Captain. Long live Chris long live Chipolopolo!!!!!!!!!
EX-GHANA STAR GYAMFI CLAIMS BLACK STARS PLAYERS ALWAYS USE “JUJU”
The following article was published by Ghanasoccernet
@kay
Ex-Ghana international midfielder Sarfo Gyamfi says players of the Black Stars have always used ‘juju’ to enhance their performances.
But the former Kotoko midfielder, who played for the Black Stars in the 1990s, is shocked over reports that the players used ‘juju’ at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations to outdo each other.
This comes after a confidential report by Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic which was presented to the executive committee of the federation was leaked to the media.
The Serbian manager was giving his reasons why the Black Stars failed to win the title and was suggesting ways of helping to solve the situation.
The coach did not name any specific players in that part of the report and the GFA is refusing to comment on the matter, saying it does not discuss any issues arising from leaked documents.
Gyamfi, who believes in spiritual consultations before matches, says even though they used juju in their players days, they used it in search of luck for the team.
“It has always happened, but players have used it to protect themselves and normally in search of luck,” Sarfo Gyami, who was a member of the Ghana side at the 1992 Nations Cup, told BBC Sport.
“I have never heard of a situation when players have used it against their own colleagues. That is a very bad situation.”
Stevanovic, who is coaching in Africa for the first time, revealed in the classified report that the use of witchcraft by the players must stop.
“We all need to help in changing some players’ mentality about using ‘black power’ to destroy themselves, and also make sure we instil discipline and respect for each other,” the coach said.
In a report delivered to the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) executive committee, Stevanovic added: “After losing to Zambia, there arose so many accusations amongst the players.
The skeleton in your closet is now in the open. There are more witchcraft and juju in Zambia than half of the continent, but you were quick to laugh at Ghana. Are you happy now? Shameless people.
Fact kay facts kay its not about the skeleton if u look at the whole thing ur actually showing the world the capacity of ur intelligence you possess coz u know wat u have done?????i dnt think u do so let me make it simple 2 u,u have copied and pasted some1s opinion and ur oredy hallucinating this broad day light.its a personal opnion wich u wil never find fact actully how bout a link to were u got the story m sure ur smart enough to do that n pliz dnt tell me u dont know how to do that.

I am not disputing whether Ghana use juju or not, I wasn’t part of Ghana’s squad. I am just a fan. Keep this advice from me – those living glass-house do not throw stones
@Kay
Apology Accepted
