hmmmmm...
I was hoping to log on this morning and find out he'd signed. Now everything is a mess and this thread has descended slightly into chaos.
Oh well.

This guy sounds fair good to be honest...just hope he can pull it off in the premierleague and cement a 1st team place instead of Cressy.

I would imagine the Grape man has already posted this 5-6 pages back, but the insider at the Daily mail has it 5/5 dead cert
Haminu Dramani, Lokomotiv Moscow to Stoke - Insider says: 5/5
Stoke will sign Dramani on a season-long loan after he spent the week training with the Premier League newcomers. Although only 22-years-old, the Ghana winger has plenty of experience and appeared for his country at the 2006 World Cup. Dramani, who can operate on either flank, was spotted by Stoke assistant boss Dave Kemp in Russia earlier this summer and could make his debut against Aston Villa this weekend as Stoke look to find their feet in the top flight following a heavy opening-day defeat to Bolton.

I don't want to piss on anyone's bonfire here, and hopefully Dramani will be a great signing for us, but could I just remind everyone that the last left winger that Kempo spotted and recommended was Peter Sweeney?   |

or he could be a Peter Ndlovu type player
remember him?
he was brilliant in the premiership for a while
two-footed fast paced winger

And didn't Pulis assure us that Kempo has told him The Sweenster was "an absolute gem"
"His judgment of a player is spot on, so I have no problem trusting his opinion. ;D

I think that his pace will secure the signing. Hope it goes through before Villa.

What worries me is, if we take him on loan and he turns out to be as good as is said of him, will some other team be able to come in and snap him up? Will we mess about as seems to be our problem, in actually signing him, if we do think he's good enough?

profile from 2006 - rated a 'hotter property' than appiah, essien!
- 16/09/2006 Haminu Dramani - Ghana
Haminu Dramani Emerging Ghanaian star – Haminu Dramani - has shown an awesome form. And there is no doubt that the young Ghanaian talent of Dramani is in vogue at the moment. The likes of Turkish Fenerbahce playmaker and the Ghana Black Stars’ talisman Stephen Appiah, Africa’s most expensive player and English premiership giants Chelsea’s grafter Michael Essien and Italian-based nimble left footer Sulley Ali Muntari are all great players of international repute, but arguably the hottest property of them all is Serbia and Montenegro-based utility playmaker Dramani from noble town of Techiman in the Brong Ahafo Region.
Its reported that following his incredible exploits in the just ended World Cup fiesta in Germany, established European clubs are queuing up for the signature of the nomadic northern region parentage man, who was born in the Brong Ahafo regional town of Techiman, where his father, Dramani senior is a driver at the Techiman Zongo community.
The dangerous winger burst onto the international scene last year on the eve of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Africa Cup of Nations finals in Egypt.
The 20 year old played at Hearts of Lions in the domestic Ghanaian Premiership last season before being recommended to Crvena Zvezda FC in Serbia and Montenegro by Ghana’s national coach Ratomir Djukovic.
Pacy, with the ability to deliver precise crosses, he made a dream debut in Serbia and Montenegro’s demanding league last September, scoring just a minute after coming on as an 88th minute substitute. Of all the players that coach Djukovic summoned for the World Cup finals in Germany, fans criticized his inclusion into the squad and people felt his inclusion was more of favour from the coach, considering the fact that other players such as Baba Amandou, Isaac Boakye, Prince Tegoe and Balfour Gyan did not make the grade.
But lo and behold, against USA, where Asamoah Gyan and Muntari were suspended, he repaid the faith shown in him by his coach and scored a gem against the mighty US. Dramini dispossessed US captain Claudia Arena outside his box and outpaced a static US rearguard into their box. He showed immense composure in front of the US 18-yard area before curling a low shot past the US goalkeeper to record Ghana’s first goal. Ghana subsequently won 2-1 and sailed through to the last 16 (second round) at their very first ever World Cup appearance. His exploits ignited the mother of all parties in Techiman, where he was seen as an iconic figure among his peers and elders alike and indeed justified his inclusion into the squad.
Dramini’s form is deadly and so his service is in high demand across the major leagues in Europe. And at the current rate, it won’t be surprise if he’s snapped by one of the top sides in Europe before the end of the 2006/2007 season. However, Crvena Zvezda FC have done their homework. Their scouts would not have failed to note Dramini’s skills, work-rate, muscular frame, skills on the ball, deft touches, speed, ability to play through the middle or out wide.
Djukovic often complained about lack of discipline from certain Ghanaian players yet in terms of discipline, although Dramini was young, he was very exemplary in his conduct both on and off the pitch and these remain a single attribute which prompted Djukovic to include him in his World Cup squad despite heavy outburst from the fanatical Ghana soccer fans.
“I wanted to show who I am,” he declared after the World Cup. “I played okay and was quite satisfied with my overall performances during the World Cup,” he added. Behaviour-wise, Dramani possesses the “baby-face” image and a down to earth attitude which promptly makes him the “lover-boy” and the darling of not just the hard-to-please Ghana Football Association (GFA) officials but soccer fans throughout Ghana. Ghana Blacks Stars has in recent years been riddled with personality clashes and pompous spoilt-brats.

hopefully he'll bring his dad as it appears he'd be suitably qualified to drive big kits around whilst he's banned, or take a few points on his license for Vince next time he's in trouble

I've been thinking about the work permit thing - is there any chance he has been playing in Europe for so long he has a dual passport? What with the rumours that he will play on Saturday. Or when he is on loan is that not needed as the parent club still hold his registration?

the hottest property of them all is Serbia and Montenegro-based utility playmaker Dramani Never heard of a utility playmaker before, but i guess that's probably the only sort of playmaker tone is likely to sign I'd think you'd only get a dual passport from staying in one country for a long time, not from moving about. |

Post by walrus on Aug 21, 2008 10:39:14 GMT
I think you need to be in one country for at least five years to get a passport from it.

Post by msfit on Aug 21, 2008 10:41:11 GMT
I think it depends on the country, and on how good you are in sports, or should I say how badly they want you.
By the way, anyone heard something from todays training, he's supposed to be there today as well.
