Foreign clubs eye local duo.
By: Shaun Fuentes.

Local-based midfielder Aurtis Whitley could be plying his trade overseas for the coming European season as it has been revealed that he along with CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh teammate Cyd Gray have generated interest following their appearances at the 2006 World Cup.
It is understood that English club Leeds United are in talks with the club about acquiring the services of Whitley but Queen’s Park Rangers and Gillingham are also after the rock solid midfielder. Gillingham and Swedish club IFK Gothenberg have also expressed interest in Gray. Whitley was also on trial at Portsmouth before the World Cup.
“Everyone is delighted with the way T&T came through at the World Cup. We didn’t progress to the second round but we didn’t disgrace and we earned respect there. We are left a lasting impression and now is the time to reap the benefits to come from this,” Jabloteh head coach Terry Fenwick said.
“I am getting a lot interest from UK clubs and we are in discussions over transfers for both players. That in itself tells you how highly thought about we are after the Finals. It definitely has brought greater exposure for the local game and people are now starting to ask more questions about the league here and the football in general.”
Regarding young Anthony Wolfe, who was also part of the Soca Warriors in Germany, Fenwick added: “He has gained a lot of experience being with the team and he is still younger than the other two and we are looking for him to spearhead our future campaign.”

He aslo said that he cried to come home. This was said in the British gutter press so take it with a dose of salt. He expected we to get 6 doh.

It would be nice to se Cyd Gray play in Swedish Premier league.

Best of luck to him.

Wasn't it this same Gillingham Team that totally dogged Sancho in a World Cup Qualifying year???

That being said, I love the fact that the players are generating a lot of interest. I want these players to continue to grow and gain experience in the game and personally benefit from their skills at the same time. A Win-Win situation, but I am just wary of our players going to teams that do not respect their International commitments.

Blessings.

The only way for T&T to improve as a team is for more players to get into Championship or the EPL. Terry Fenwick seems only to have a pipline to the lower divisions.

When you compare the contracts that Jamaican players who have not played well in the past two years you will see that they are getting contracts to Championship clubs and better.

Time to change agents.

I agree with what you are saying we should also try to market our players in Portugal, holland, belgium ,sweden and italy.

Whitley is our Defensive Midfielder...English Leagues have not produced a good one recently...so maybe he should look somewhere else. France, Portugal, Holland.

marcpurcell · « **Reply #19 on:** July 15, 2006, 11:53:41 AM »

My whole point is the quality of teams the majority of our players are on right now. It seems that there is only a pipeline to the lower ranked teams.

Look at Sam, Lawrence and Edwards etc. They were only offered contracts playing for league two at the begining because that is where T&T contacts lay.

Rastaman · « **Reply #20 on:** July 15, 2006, 12:00:50 PM »

That is a wery good point. These guys worked hard and both Edwards and Sam go better contracts from their performces. This has opened up more doors so hopefully we will not need the contacts for much longer. And after the world cup look at the kind of clubs that are looking at our players. That was unheard of before.

Lower St. John · « **Reply #21 on:** July 15, 2006, 12:41:41 PM »

Hopefully better teams are looking at our players after this World Cup. I guess we must creep before we can walk when it comes to moving up. But are Jamaican players really getting more Contracts to play in the higher divisions in England? I was not aware of this.

I am really surprised that Carlos Edwards has not attracted more attention from bigger clubs. He had a really good World Cup. He is the present/future for a good club and country.

Blessings

Well it aint too late. Transfers does go right to the last second before the deadline. A lot of the clubs does wait right to the end to get the better deals money wise. And sometimes if they don't get who they wanted they does take the rest then....It up to you to take the chance if it is given to you.

This is from the Reggae Boyz website:

"FIFA agent Phillip Graham, the man responsible for securing contracts in the UK for a number of Jamaican players, including Ricardo Gardner, who plays with Bolton Wanderers in the English Premiership.

Other Jamaicans plying their trade in the UK are Ricardo Fuller, who plays in the League Championships with Southampton; Claude Davis, who recently moved to English Premiership side Sheffield United from League Championships side Preston North End; Damion Stewart, who moved to Queen's Park Rangers in the League Championships, along with Jermaine Johnson, who will join compatriot Donovan Ricketts at League One outfit Bradford City."

I think we need him instead of the other agents that we have links to smaller teams.

Someone need to get the TTFF to give Phillip Graham a call. Their current agent (Terry Fenwick) eh have the best contacts or lacking something! Our players have worked very hard and deserve better contracts!

We have to remember too that most Jamacian players are physically bigger that our boys and that is a major factor in the English game..That is why Latapy get so much blank in he time. Things have not changed much....Remember Dwight was a special case. Them men go push way Carlos and most of our players beause of their weight and they can't win no long ball because of their height. Skill doh matter. We might get a bit luky now because we get some exposure but at the end of the day we are not producing players physically suited to the English style of football.

Oh and Jones too because of his height. He like 6'2" ent
