Rickman42 Posted 31 October, 2021 Share Posted 31 October, 2021 The exciting thing about Salisu as you can see him growing with confidence and composure with each game…he’s coming on leaps and bounds with the ball at his feet too. He’s one of the first on the team sheet now and you can see the game time is doing wonders for him…and he’s still only 22! big future ahead for this lad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadhall Saint Posted 31 October, 2021 Share Posted 31 October, 2021 Thing I like about him is his talking/shouting - communication is the difference between good CB’s and excellent ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Lion Tamer Posted 31 October, 2021 Share Posted 31 October, 2021 2 hours ago, Sunglasses Ron said: Absolutely as he’d probably double his wages at a time when he’s still relatively unknown. The exact same thing happened with VVD, a whopping 6-year deal just a year after originally signing with us. That didn't work out well for VVD because he had to stay with us for another half season when his heart clearly wasn't in it. We're speculating about his character now but I'm not sure most players would sign a contract like that just for the money and then be prepared to kick up a fuss to get a move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 9 November, 2021 Share Posted 9 November, 2021 What's the story with Salisu and his international career? I noticed he's still not being called up for Ghana which I assume is his choice as when you look at the other defenders they've got they are hardly world class. Probably a good thing for Saints as he wouldn't be away for the African Nations Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a good thing for Saints as he wouldn't be away for the African Nations Cup. In November 2019, Salisu received his first call-up to Ghana's senior squad, after being named by Kwesi Appiah in the squad for the 2021 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against South Africa and São Tomé and Príncipe.[26] He withdrew from the squad citing injury problems.[27] In 2020, after C.K. Akonnor was appointed as manager of the national team, according to media speculation he made attempts to reach him but his efforts proved futile as seemed Salisu was interested in playing for the team.[28][29] His family later came out with a statement to refute all the information within the public space suggesting his refusal to play for the national team. The statement read that '' We further wish to state unequivocally that our son is a proud Ghanaian and very ready to represent Ghana at every level and time''.[28][29] His elder brother later granted an interview on local radio station Angel FM talking about his brother's call up snub into the Black Starlets, the Ghana U-17 team whilst he was playing in Ghana, due his inability to pay to be in the team and not because his performance was substandard.[29] In April 2021, during an interview with MozzartSport Kenya, Salisu stated that he would be proud to play for the national team but it was not the right time for him to play and that he needed to focus on his club career. He concluded that when everything is fine at club level, he can go and play for the national team.[30][31] --- Sounds like there was drama afoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
