Every team that we should be emulating has done it by selling players when offers above their value comes in and buying multiple prospects with the money. It’s not FIFA. This is real life. Our next trophy will have 6 to 8 players in the XI that...
Gana will be going soon that’s inevitable, whether it’s the end of this season or the next one. We should be planning to phase him out.

Ideal time to begin the Gana phase out, and I don’t say that because of the other night. I’ll happily have him start for us again, he apologised immediately, move on.
However his self-then-AFCON forced extended absence makes us try life without...
