Glen signs back up with Jabloteh.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).

Trinidad and Tobago World Cup team forward Cornell Glen has signed a short-term contract with CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh and has targeted late June for a return to competitive football in the T&T Pro League.
Glen who operated on an injured knee after a second injury with former club LA Galaxy following the 2006 World Cup is making steady progress and is in training with the Jabloteh team.
He explained his reasons for signing the new deal which goes up until December 2007.
“At the moment things are going okay but I am still not up to full fitness. I am in training with Jabloteh and I have been playing in the scrimmages in training. I decided that it would be a good option to sign with them and start back playing in the Pro League before anything else,” Glen told TTFF Media.
“I am aiming at playing again after the Gold Cup,” he added.
Glen added though that he had some reservations about rushing back into international football.
“Time will tell because things have been rough since the injury. There was no set up for any form of compensation or anything for me since the injury and this has me thinking otherwise for the time being. I could well take a back seat from the national team and focus on my club career before making a return. But time will tell,” Glen concluded.

It good to see the quality of players coming back to the PFL It would be nice if Conn or Public could actually be competitive in the Club Championships. Too bad jab not in the competition this year.

Maybe a PFL select should invit a South American side. With Whitley, Spann, Tiger, Glenn, Densil etc they might actually be competitive.

That sad but he need to play somewhaere even with that goat Fenick.

It probably not sad. I read plenty articles from UK where they mentioned Carlos played for Defense force. I think Glenn will get big. Maybe they will start realizing we have talent in Trnidad.

Glen has been really unlucky.

Hopefully he can get fit and back in form. He has the quality and if he is playing he will get chances abroad again.

Somewhere we missed the point about compensation after the injuries. as though no one cared. i get the impression that he was abandoned. Whatever happened to Compassion.

People does be boasting about the contracts our players getting all over the place but we does never know what's written on that piece of paper,some of these contracts is like a day job in a Chicken and Chips place they hire you today they fire you tomorrow with no compensation,it's all about use you until they can't get anything more out of you then that's it take care of yourself.This is the reason a lot of good players after college don't stay in the game,in this game not everybody lucky to make it big,some of these guys are only professional in name,it's not who you want is who wants you,there are no guarantees in this game.

There is no reason to believe that he will come back as a lesser player. Players have been returning from ACL injuries sometimes better than before(usually because the become more devoted and dilligent to training appropiately.)

Insurance was an item in budgets, reports and contracts for the WC so I'd be surprised if medical costs weren't covered.

lemme explain it as simply as i can for you...his compensation $ for theraphy/rehab from de galaxy got caught up in de pay beckham a retarted amount of $ fund'...i think de galaxy decided that instead of pay for this player's rehab(and probably a increased salary for a new season due to fact that he now has playing in a world cup to add on resume etc) they would just release him and not have those issues to address..THAT'S MY OPINION as far that situation goes...as for the TTFF it's no secret where his 'compensation $' for the injury he picked up while wearing the national colours at the World Cup is/went...it's the same thing Dwight Yorke said some years back regarding his decision about him choosing club over country at times..due to the fact that before friendlies etc the necessary people from the federation are calling you constantly..seeing how you're doing etc...then when you represent the country and happen to pick up a knock or injury..you can't hear from NOBODY...

The funny thing is man out here does be talking bout the coincidence of man who trying to get their monies ketching they ass and other men does be saying stuff like is them men on the national team to entertain we supporters so it seems to me that the supporters tend to not really be any different from jackula and them because they want to see they top national team at any costs despite the risks and the losses we boys incurring we trinis are a selfish people.

That's why playing for your country is an individual thing,it has always been take care of yourself play at your own risk in my time,these guys today are lucky(modern times) Jack might take care of you depending on how big your name is or if the public make an issue of it,these things don't surprise me i'm accustomed and used to it,i'll give you two of the examples that went that route "Nobby"Phillips,Bert Neptune their careers ended,i know these times are different but i'm glad i had the opportunity to play in a time when it was a joy to play the game,now it's life and death,you are a walking target everybody throwing something at you,you have no privacy and everybody think they know how you suppose to live.
I've always said it will be very hard for Glen because the guy is injury prone and no club will be willing to take that risk,he has always had problems even before he left here,i wonder how much Jabloteh is willing to pay him.

Cornell Glen returns to Jabloteh
By: Randy Bando (ttproleague.com).

Former LA Galaxy and Trinidad and Tobago World Cup striker Cornell Glen has signed on with his former Pro League Club CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh and is expected to return to competitive football soon.
Coach Terry Fenwick of the Pro League Club confirmed the reuniting of his former player for the remainder of the 2007 season.
“Cornell was part of Jabloteh in the past and now he is back. He has signed with us until December,” he said.
According to the former England international, Glen has been training with Jabloteh for the last month and a half and is expected to be in action very soon for his former Club.
Fenwick went on to explain, “He’s not fully fit at the moment and needs to get back on track. This is why he has returned to Jabloteh because we are the best possible team at home for him to do so.”
“Unfortunately for him, LA Galaxy refused to renew his contract because of his injury so he wasn’t attached to a Club,” explained the Jabloteh coach.
He also added that the possibility exists for Glen to play for Jabloteh in 2008 saying, “Depending on his injury we have signed him until December on a small salary which he has agreed to, but if he progresses and becomes fully fit there is the chance of him staying longer than December into the 2008 season,” said Fenwick.
Glen a former Major League Soccer player who operated on an injured knee after a second injury with former club LA Galaxy following the 2006 World Cup is making steady progress with Jabloteh.
In an interview done by the ‘TTFF MEDIA’ Glen explained his reasons for signing with his former Pro League Club, a deal which goes up until December 2007.
“At the moment things are going okay but I am still not up to full fitness. I am in training with Jabloteh and I have been playing in the scrimmages in training. I decided that it would be a good option to sign with them and start back playing in the Pro League before anything else,” he said adding, “I am aiming at playing again after the Gold Cup,” he added.
Glen added though that he had some reservations about rushing back into international football, “Time will tell because things have been rough since the injury. There was no set up for any form of compensation or anything for me since the injury and this has me thinking otherwise for the time being. I could well take a back seat from the national team and focus on my Club career before making a return. But time will tell,” Glen concluded.
In other Jabloteh related news striker Shandel Samuel has returned to the training field for the ‘San Juan Kings’ and could well be on target for appearances soon.
Coach Terry Fenwick said, “We are happy to see Shandel doing well in training. He has been training with us in recent sessions and if he recuperates well then he would be playing for us very soon,” ended the Jabloteh Head Coach.
The St Vincent national player and former North East Stars striker Shandel Samuel had only signed with Jabloteh during pre-season and in mid March ruptured the tendon in his right knee in a very innocuous manner during a training session with the San Juan based team and was expected to be out for 4-6 months.
