The Kenyan League season is over and everyone, players, technical benches, offices are in the process of re-strategizing for the coming season. Recruitments, trials, all are in programme for teams in order to beef up in readiness for the season to come. On the players side, they are either leaving their respective clubs, either to get better terms or to follow their hearts. That is the norm in the football business, it shouldn't sound strange or alien to clubs.
Sserrunkuma and Gor Mahia
Dan Sserunkuma has been one of the most brilliant of goal poachers since he joined the Kenyan League. He is a darling of the fans and an asset to the team. He creates an impact whenever he is on the pitch and he is terror to the opponents defense , he is one player every coach would want in his team, and Gor Mahia knows exactly that! That is why any news of Sserunkuma wanting to leave is not so good a music to the ears of anyone in the Gor Mahia family, and they would want to do anything, use every available mechanism to keep him home,( that will include fans beating up official for wanting to let him leave when the league title is knocking at the door) including sabotage.
As i said before,Football is a career, not a slave trade. Everyone, every player who feels there are better opportunities elsewhere needs to be given that opportunity to explore those opportunities. This will also give the club a chance and space to identify new talents that may help their clubs to prosper. Sometimes you gotta lose something you endear most so that you may create space for something you need most!
Maybe there is something we cant just see because we tend to be blinded by the existence of Danny. Maybe he is the reason why Paul Kiongera, Edwin Lavatsa, Kevin Omondi or even Paul Odhiambo have not been on their top! Gor mahia, I believe has so many stars in the team, they dont even need to sign anyone, passe, but with the available team, they have all the talents they need to retain the League and win more trophies, and even prosper in their continental assignments.
As Gor Mahia fraternity, please let Danny go, along with anyone else who feels they need to,and explore greener pastures. In fact we should so much cherish the time he has been with us, all the good tidings he has brought to the club. We should be happy that he is leaving and we should be happy for him and pray for him to prosper in His endeavor. We should not cry because he is over and done with us; instead, we should be happy that Danny Sserunkuma Happened to Gor Mahia. After all, football is just business, and like any other business, you would only want to take your business where it earns you so much.
I wish our Super Boy Danny all the best in his new career adventures.
