A group of students of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) who describe themselves as concerned supporters of Kumasi Asante Kotoko have urged the technical team of Kotoko to broaden its scope of recruitment to tertiary institutions.
They noted that such institutions abound with talents who can fullfil the expectations of the club.
He noted that with talents who can fulfil the expectations of the club.
In a press statement signed by 36 students and circulated to the media in Kumasi, they contended that “ the Porcupine fraternity is a big one and every effort must be made to poach the best into the fraternity”.
They said it was important for the technical team of Kotoko to broaden the scope of recruiting players into the team so that the club would be blessed with budding talents “that we lose season after season to our competitors”.
They cited Uriah Asante as a typical example, saying “we all saw him play in the match with our arch rivals. This is a chap who was poached by our arch rivals from the University of Ghana football team”.
They pointed out that “some players who played in the Ghana university team ahead of Uriah Asante in the West African University Games, as well as the World University Games, are still actively playing in the university team at the KNUST”.
Such players, they said, “have gathered considerable experience that would make it possible for them to excel in the premiership.”
They said by broadening the scope of targeting talented players in tertiary institutions, the technical team of Kotoko would not find it difficult to blend them with the old guards to make Kotoko a formidable team.
“We are of the opinion that it will do our club a world of good if we can give these super talents an opportunity to prove their worth through trials, justifiers or any other means the technical team deems fit,” they noted.
“We believe everyone who gets the privilege to don the jersey of the Porcupine Warriors family must do so on merit and nothing else”.
