Do you think he would have turned out to be the monster of an athlete with the incredible physical presence and ability on the ball that he currently is?
Somehow I doubt it. Italy made him what he is, and I know you know this. It's one thing to say he has no Italian blood but when someone has basically grown up and lived their entire life in a country then I don't think you can argue with that.

I'm not arguing against his right to citizenship, or the fact Italy made him the player he is.
Culturally he is Italian, but in terms of race, he is Ghanaian. I dont want our NT being overtaken by foreign influence.
