Hearts of Oak last week officially announced the release of the skillful midfielder to an Albanian side.
This means they have to invest in finding a midfielderjust like Cobbina to ensure it remains dominant in the Ghana premier league.

Mr. Noonan indicated that, the absence of the hardworking midfielder will be felt when active football resumes because two players from their youth side are equally brilliant and ready to fill that void.
“We cannot dispute the fact that quality players are been sold around the world and Hearts of Oak did a good business in selling Winful Cobbina because the standard out there is much better than what we have here”, he told Joy sports.

“Replacing Cobbina will not be a problem because we have two young players in the junior side who play just as he does and they will fill the void”, he added.
The deadly left footed player is expected to leave the shores of Ghana this evening to join his new club, KF Tirana.
Meanwhile, Mark Noonan said the club’s first training and housing facility under his supervision will be complete by the end of the year.
“The Pobiman project remains paramount to me and work has already begun. We will get it as quickly as we can. The first team will start training on the facility this August and I expect it to be completed by the end of this year”, he added.
But continuous use of trainee coaches would turn hearts into a bottom table club and therefore unattractive. Already the team has lost a substantial amount of respect it used to command in both local and africa football through the use of tranee coaches. Watching hearts’ games from the beginning of the season showed that the team needs a top noch coach as nearly or all the teams they lost to played with less quality players
To me Cobbina is an irreplaceable midfielder that can’t be replaced…… I wish him well
