Ex-Ghana defender Anthony Baffoe says players should be assisted to excel on their moves abroad rather than blaming them for leaving too early.
There have been a lot of talks of massive ''brain drain'' of football talents in Ghana.
More often than not especially whenever a rising star emerges in the local leagues, securing him an oversees deal appears to be the only option as clubs likewise the players like to immediately cash-in on their performance.
Some of the emerging stars are sometimes eventually lost to inferior leagues but for the cash only to return in redundant shape.
This has given credence to suggestions that players must be prevented from leaving the local scene for a period of time in order to mature before being allowed to move abroad.
But Baffour who is a former Ghana international insist that will be the wrong way of solving the problem as it will hinder the players' ambitions to self actualize.
"You can’t blame a player for going out, they (Players) also want to be where the likes of Essien, Muntari and Appiah and all of them are,'' he toldGHANAsoccernet.com.
"It all depends on your talent, you can play just one season and move but what we have to do is to help them with the various countries they go to.
"If you go to France, or to Germany, to Sweden or Belgium, you can speak to Kuffour (Samuel) to myself, to Yeboah (Tony), to Abedi Pele.
"Because a lot of them have the talent but never adapted to the mentality and if you don't feel good in a country you cannot perform."
