Beenhakker calls five newcomers for Iceland warm up.
By: Shaun Fuentes.[/size]
National Team head coach Leo Beenhakker has included five new players in his 20-man squad to face Iceland in this country’s next warm-up international at Loftus Road, England on February 28.
The Dutch-born coach, following several scouting missions, has selected English-born Fulham goalkeeper Anthony Warner, Swindon Town midfielder Ricky Shakes and coming out of the recent training camp in Fort Laurderdale, defenders Nigel Henry and Anthony Noreiga as well as promising left sided player Kevon Neaves.
The rest of the squad includes the regulars who were part of the squad during the 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign. They are: Shaka Hislop, Clayton Ince, Dennis Lawrence, Avery John, Marvin Andrews Cyd Gray, Chris Birchall, Aurtis Whitley, Silvio Spann, Carlos Edwards, Russell Latapy, Stern John, Kenwyne Jones, Collin Samuel and captain Dwight Yorke.
Beenhakker added that the door has not be closed on any player for selection on the final 23-man squad which will go to the World Cup but he did say that he has to make use of the players at his disposal who he thinks can make a difference at the international level and hence his reason for selecting the newcomers for the match later this month. As a result there are some players who were not invited to play at Loftus Road. Some of them include Dundee goalkeeper Kelvin Jack who is now coming off an injury and has not been seeing action for his club, Gillingham defenders Brent Sancho and Ian Cox, Falkirk midfielder Densill Theobald, and US-based strikers Cornell Glen and Scott Sealy.
“Since the qualification in November, we have done a lot of scouting activities to see many players who until now were not involved in the team within my period as national coach. As a result of this I will give a fair chance to the new players Anthony Warner, Ricky Shakes, Anthony Noreiga, Nigel Henry and Kevon Neaves based on what we saw from them in training and matches,” Beenhakker told TTFF Media on Thursday.
The former Real Madrid boss went on to explain that with still over three months before he makes his final selection for the 2006 World Cup, the players not in the squad to face Iceland are not out of the running for a final pick.
“Having to give other players a chance means between other things that for this game several usual players like Kelvin Jack, Ian Cox, Brent Sancho, Densill Theobald and Jason Scotland among others, are not invited for this game. I informed most of them and want to explain everybody that the door is far from closed for this players, so they have to keep their eyes on the ball.
“I want to have a good overview of all available players just to make the right decisions at the moment to make the final choice of the 23 players who will represent T&T in Germany,” Beenhakker added.
He also has not counted out the possibility of Aston Villa defender Jlloyd Samuel, West Ham striker Bobby Zamora as well as Arsenal defender Justin Hoyte who has Trinidadian parentage but ends up in the same problem as Zamora and Samuel as he has represented England at youth level and has already turned 21. He turns 22 in November and is currently on loan to Sunderland.
“The door is not closed and in that way I am also still hopeful that guys like Jlloyd Samuel, Bobby Zamora and possibly Justin Hoyte will be available, as you know they were already involved in England teams and FIFA regulations don't permit them for the moment to play for T&T,” Beenhakker said.
The T&T-based contingent will depart Piarco on February 25 and the full squad will assemble at the Renaissance Hotel, Heathrow the following day with a training session carded for the QPR training ground in the evening period.
Prior to that weekend, there will be sessions conducted in Trinidad in collaboration with the clubs of which the selected players are attached.

-
whey all the Rougier fans and them?
The man time as an International pass. If Beenie were really interested he would have been called as part of the squad.
The man give us some good years, so thanks.
Time to pass the baton willingly Rouge, or Beenie will help you to pass it.
-
Good Squad i like it... i woulda like to see Glenn there and Theobald... I think we seeing Beenie favoring Anthony Warner as i figuring he go start against Iceland, and once he show good Beenie keeping him as d starter, as we know beenie doh change winning formulas so...

Fellas
I am trying to figure out the methodolog for omitting specific guys so as to see the 5 newcomers that made the call up. Obviously the main factor there is not club action, both Sancho and Ince have seen minimal action for some time. Jack's omission b/c of his injury makes sense, not sure I completely understand. Seeking clarity.....

Nachi, look at the men he leave out... Kelvin Jack, Ian Cox, Brent Sancho, Densill Theobald and Jason Scotland. Fringe men, with the exception of Jack who is (was?) a starter. He hadda see what the other "fringe" players have to offer. He done know what the men he leave out could do.
-
Jahyouth, before ah reply on dat one, lemme say yuh abbreviate meh handle in a manner that suggest we link in de past, is jus so men in atlanta used to call meh after shabba stick dis name on meh...
But two men suspicious on de fringe comment (apart from Jack of course), Sancho and Scotland. Apart from Samuel, Jason rippin up de 1st div, interestin dat he would not be at least a 3rd choice striker. Ah want to believe Sancho's lack of representation startin to do him some harm. But yes, I agree de odders are def. fringe players, so to speak, seen....

Is only February, let these new men show their wares now in the early game.

he has a 15 or 16 year old brother that play in the arsneal reserves I am suprised that hoyte being a trini is news to you diehard football fans futbol said this a while back. I think samuel will win his appeal though . but good squad . if neaves makes the WC team he will benifit 100%
-
Its early lets give it few and see where the coach is going with this move, remember he got us to where we are now so lets not not second guess for now, Has as lloyd and zamora I say forget them, Sancho really needs to do what what takes to get some playing time at his club or kiss world cup good bye. world cup is not about what you have in the past but what you can do now.........................................................................hillsdale forever

I doubt scotland outta the picture. He has consistently been in Beenhakker's teams, has been one of the subs used more regularly. It seems as if everybody who is contention for a starting spot has been included however. So maybe the logic is to have the players who expected to see most of the action playing together while simultaneously looking at potential squad players.
maybe fringe was a bad word, but I don't think anybody who get leave out is being projected to start.

Five new players in Trinidad squad for Iceland warm-up
LONDON, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Trinidad and Tobago coach Leo Beenhakker has included five new players in his 20-man squad to face Iceland in a World Cup warm-up in London on Feb. 28.
The Dutchman has called up England-born Fulham goalkeeper Tony Warner, Swindon Town midfielder Ricky Shakes as well as hopefuls Nigel Henry and Anthony Noreiga and Kevon Neaves.
Beenhakker, preparing for Trinidad & Tobago's first World Cup appearance in June , did not include injured Dundee goalkeeper Kelvin Jack.
Gillingham defenders Brent Sancho and Ian Cox; Falkirk midfielder Densill Theobald; St Johnstone striker Jason Scotland; and U.S.-based strikers Cornell Glen and Scott Sealy were also left out of the squad for the friendly.
Beenhakker, speaking through Shaun Fuentes the media officer for the Trinidad & Tobago Football Federation, said: "Since qualifying we have done a lot of scouting to see players who until now were not involved in the team.
"As a result, I am giving a fair chance to the new players: Warner, Shakes, Noreiga, Henry and Neaves, based on what we saw from them in training and matches."
Beenhakker also stressed that the players left out of the friendly were all still in contention for a place in his final 23-man squad for the World Cup.
"The door is far from closed for these players, so they have to keep their eyes on the ball," he said.
Trinidad face England, Paraguay and Sweden in their opening round group in Germany.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Shaka Hislop (West Ham, England), Clayton Ince (Coventry City, England), Tony Warner (Fulham, England)
Defenders: Cyd Gray (CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh), Marvin Andrews (Glasgow Rangers, Scotland), Dennis Lawrence (Wrexham), Avery John (New England Revolution, U.S.), Anthony Noreiga (Kansas City Wizards, U.S.), Nigel Henry (unattached)
Midfielders: Chris Birchall (Port Vale, England), Aurtis Whitley (Jabloteh), Silvio Spann (unattached), Kevon Neaves (University of South Florida), Carlos Edwards (Luton Town, England), Ricky Shakes (Swindon Town, England)
Forwards: Dwight Yorke (Sydney FC, AUstralia), Russell Latapy (Falkirk, Scotland), Stern John (Coventry City, England), Kenwyne Jones (Southampton, England), Collin Samuel (Dundee United, Scotland)

Ah think yuh right TrueTrini, ah feel Beenie man just wan to take a look at other players. Ah think it have nothing to do with holding back man....that is what i feel. I dont know him to be that kinda coach. He seems positive and fair.
It have players there that the TTFF trying to help out too. Anthony Noriega and Henry...2 promising defenders for T&T in the near future so we need to help them secure work permits and contracts etc. Thanks Lincoln for arranging that.....good looks!!! Now remember we have other players who need that help as well eh. NICE!! :beermug:
As for Julius James, with all due respect to the youte, i do not think he ready to play for trinidad at the senior level (at least not as a sweper or center back). I think he would do better as a defensive midfield or MAYBE wingback. He is too small and slow with decision making in the back. Nice player though, doh get meh wrong but just not ready. That college football and national/international ball is two different game dan.
Good luck T&T.

Left Back, that nice man. Ah think he might be able to hold down ah position of that nature. Hope he get through next time still.
now when we meeting and having a ice cold one dan? :beermug:
-
GERMANY ;D
-
I thought he would have drafted Rougier to help with defensive midfield duties. We need someone in that respect. I'm glad that he also drafted in the defensive players because i think he realises that dog and lawrence might not cut it totally against some sides.

That link say caribbean roots futbol.... like you and all wasnt sure which island
??? Yes. The thread says Caribbean Roots Exactly Justin Hoyte wasnt born in TNT. and I said ONE FOR SURE is Justin Hoyte if you look at what was said before I was responding to Triniman's question and what I quoted after to let him know Hoyte was a trini because he asked post a list.
I mention it Lonnnng time ago anyway. ask Triniman.
-
Rougier coming of a hamstring injury dis is why Beenie careful with him. He only played half of de first game against FIU because of de injury although he said de hamstring feel fine after de game.I did'nt see de second game so ah dunno what happen.I believe Rougier still in de mix for de 23 because of his versatility,not de starting 11.
-
It have players there that the TTFF trying to help out too. Anthony Noriega and Henry...2 promising defenders for T&T in the near future
let me correct you julius james is promising terry elwin markan hislop both are promising henry is a hard back man noriega now is at the point to prove his worth.

henry shouldnt b dere, we shouldnt b addin older players, we should have added telesford instead bc of his youth, sometimes givin a youth a break like dis could elevate his game 2 new heights, and it will surprise u wat he can actaully do
-
Truetrini, i know James promising. I never said that he was not!!
And i also implied that nore getting a break and is up to he to prove his worth.
TriniInfinite, yuh have a real boss point dey. I think osei woulda take that break serious and do ah serious thing. But say what, no love lost!! All d best!
-
BeenE goal is not to develop and bloodin players, it is to try and win (or do as best as he and the Team can) 3 games in WC...if the youths showed better than the old Hard back man, I am certain BeenE would have taken them...if the "ole Hard back " man performing best, yuh think he should be dropped ? Why we don't say if yuh over ah certain age retire and hold this pension then, we go send a weaker team so dey go know how to take licks.
-
Good team..
So I guess Kevon Neaves not joining de under 21 team if Florida then ?
-
shit......sorrry :rotfl: thanks for correcting meh breds. Is really triniman and triniInfinite ah was refering to. tanx pal :beermug:

Swindon Town Ricky Shakes has been called up into the Trinidad & Tobago squad for the forthcoming friendly against Iceland at Loftus Road.
Trinidad & Tobago National Team head coach Leo Beenhakker has included five new players in his 20-man squad to face Iceland in this country's next warm-up international at Loftus Road, England on February 28, with Town's very own Ricky Shakes named among them.
Dutch-born coach Beenhakker has been spotted at The County Ground on several occasions following the progress of Shakes, who joined Town from Bolton Wanderers last summer.

Another player with Town connections, Tony Warner, has also been included in the squad for the game. Warner spent a spell on loan at The County Ground from Liverpool during Steve McMahon's tenure as Manager.
"Since the qualification in November, we have done a lot of scouting activities to see many players who until now were not involved in the team within my period as national coach. As a result of this I will give a fair chance to the new players Anthony Warner, Ricky Shakes, Anthony Noreiga, Nigel Henry and Kevon Neaves based on what we saw from them in training and matches," Beenhakker told TTFF Media.
