Former Ghana defender Lee Addy has expressed his bitter feelings on giants Accra Hearts of Oak SC following his failed move to the side.
The 30-year-old wanted a return to the domestic league after having stints in Ethiopia. He begun training with the Ghanaian heavyweight for weeks, and was close to ink a deal with the club ahead of the second half of the campaign.
Lee Addy featured in Hearts of Oak’s friendlies number of times. However, the move hit a stake as he was not signed.
According to him, the deal was almost done but the Capital based outfit acted unprofessionally after disclosing to him that he can not feature for the Rainbows should he be signed despite three days left to close the transfer window.
Speaking in an interview with Ghanasportspage.com the ex-Berekum Chelsea player said, the Management of the club needs to sit up since their Board Chairman Togbe Afede XIV is doing everything to ensure the club wins laurels.
“I can authoritatively say my move to Hearts of Oak was a done deal, 99% until everyone went silent having trained with the team for weeks”I made inquiries to Know what was delaying my move and the club revealed they want to sit with my Manager”.
“After meeting my representative Hearts of Oak said the transfer deadline was due therefore I would not be able to feature for the club should they register me but that isn’t professional neither fair, considering the period I was training with the team”.
“Since am a free agent, I can be registered into the system awaiting the ITC but no, the Management failed to learn that”The Management should sit up and learn because Board Chairman Togbe Afede XIV is doing a great work to bring laurels which he needs well equipped people to achieve that”, he said.
“No one is bigger than Accra Hearts of Oak but the Management is supposed to do their duties very well so that the club can win trophies”.
“I was not happy with Hearts of Oak especially with their delay in working out necessary things”It’s not just logic to tell a player that he can’t play if you register him when you have three days to close transfer window”.
“They should sit up and work than what they are doing at the moment, they should be very professional”.
The strong guardsman enjoyed spells abroad with Dinamo Zagreb, Red Star Belgrade, Dalian Aerbian and Lusaka Dynamos.
