“We cannot dispute the fact that quality players are sold around the world and Hearts of Oak did a good business in selling Winful Cobbinah,” Noonan told Joy sports.
“This is because the standard out there is much better than what we have here so it wasn’t wrong that he left.
“However, replacing Cobbinah will not be a problem for Hearts.”.
