Former Hearts of Oak striker Prince Tagoe has urged the club to take a second look at their player recruitment policy.

The Phobians are currently on a 11-year trophy drought, a situation which has been a cause of major concern for their teeming supporters.

Many have attributed it to poor management, however, Tagoe claims the club has to properly recruit talents in the coming seasons.

“They should consider dealing with real talents instead of thinking that if a player’s manager is financially okay, they should help push him,” he said.

“The scouting team needs to really up their game because a good player will come but because they came with no manager even if he is good, they will end up picking someone else and leave him.”

He added, “Talent is being overlooked, just look at Charles Taylor’s story. We have to go back to the days of recruiting even at the colts’ level and pick real talents.”

The 33-year-old played for the Phobians in the Ghana Premier League from 2004 to 2005 before moving to Saudi Arabia side Al Ittihad Jeddah.

Tagoe was top scorer of the Ghanaian top-flight in 2005 where he netted 18 goals.

The experienced forward has had several stints in Europe including German side TSG Hoffenheim, Serbian side FK Partizan Belgrade and Bursaspor in Turkey.
