W Connection closes door on Whitley.
Trinidad Guardian Reports.
Aurtis Whitley, branded a ‘delinquent’ player is out of contract.
All is left to see where 2006 World Cup midfielder Aurtis Whitley will ply his trade for the 2009 season, after South-based Pro League club WConnection failed to renew his contract when it expired last December.
Coach Stuart Charles Fevrier explained that the club’s decision is solely based on 31-year-old Whitley’s participation for the club last season. “We opted not to renew his contract for the 2009 season. He hardly played for us last season, so we decided it is better to invest in a younger player that can give us more,” said the Connection coach.
Whitley was considered ‘delinquent’ by his previous employers CLICO San Juan Jabloteh. He played for San Juan Jabloteh for nine years in the TT Pro League prior to his contract termination in September 2007. One week later he was signed by rival club W Connection.
Now it seems to be the same case at Connection with the T&T World Cup star missing numerous practice sessions and only featuring in under 25 percent of matches for the ‘Savonnetta Boys’ last season. His miserable season also saw him fail to hit the target for Fevrier and W Connection in the League which the club lost by two points to champion Jabloteh.
Whitley returned to the T&T national team in 2008, after being absent in 2007. He featured as team captain against England in June, in a friendly match marking 100 years of T&T football, which his side lost 3-0. However, the once top-rated locally based midfielder, spent most of his time recovering from niggling injuries which saw him feature little for coach Francisco Maturana later on in the year.
Now overlooked by the T&T national team and no longer attached to W Connection, the question is where will Whitley be for the new season? Meantime, W Connection made one new signing thus far this pre-season adding United Petrotrin forward Kevon Woodley, aged 23, to its roster.
Woodley featured brilliantly for United Petrotrin last season following the exit of ace forward Jerrol Forbes in September, shooting himself to stardom scoring 10 goals in the league—most of which came after Forbes’ exit. “I feel that he has the quality to develop into a national player,” said a delighted Fevier.
“At the moment he was available and we didn’t hesitate.” Fevrier further explained that he hoped to sign a couple more players over the upcoming weeks as he strengthen his squad ahead of the 2009 season.

Allyuh relex nah man! the reason the man miss so many games is BC he was injured sine august. that coach is ah buttom, talking bout he was a disapline problem @ jablo. that was then this is now.
seeing yorke and birchall will miss the next game , who is ah better replacement than whitley??
none ah dem rookie eh better than the trechmen dem, and whitley and bleeder could hold down the defensive mid position until yorke and birchall return from suspension! we need whitley real bad on this team.

As long as Whitley recovers from injury and is in training he should be selected.

We just watch 11 men bun after 70 minutes and de solution is to bring in somebody even less fit?

this article should have been more forthright. they saying that the man was branded delinquent by a former club and then they go further to say that it "seems" to be the same situation at Connection. Of course they putting it in the headline as if his current club call him delinquent.
Now, the current club state that they didn't re-sign him because he didn't play a lot last year. The story at the time was that he was injured right? so unless they want to come out and say that either 1) the whole injury thing was a hoax or 2) he miss more time/practice than could be attributed to the injury they should really refrain from making insinuations.
I have no idea what is true but between he and Andre Baptiste it have a lot of gossip masquerading as hard news.

Well i guess my causin lying to me when he said that whitley is ah missunderstood yute. i does talk to my causin on ah regular, and he does keep me well informed on the behind the national football scene.
homeboy and whitley is breddren and he told me that whitley is real focused on getting back into the national team and is working hard on his fitness.
he also said that whitley is ah strong minded yute and would be ah handfull when he comes back from injury.
all that disapline talk is just gang up ting on the man! the falla trying his best, but his old rep seem like it following him around.
BM don't believe the hype! the bredder workin, but somtimes it discouraging when ppl fighting yuh down based on past performances.

ok....good news...so lets see if he trains all the time with them...
-
I heard Cyd was goin 2 sign as BM say lets c if he go get d urge 2 train.
-
has this man fallen so far off the radar? last night watching the game i was remembering the whitley off yore and thinking that we needed some urgency in the middle. maybe i am living in the past but does anyone else think that a fit and focused whitley could add something to this team? doh pong me i just asking ;D
-
too bad he nto fit or focused yet
i hope he could make it back...add some much needed competition in that middle
Denzil is not a int'l footballer and leon have a lil something but eh ready yet...
denzil and leon offered little goin forward
at least with whitley we could have hyland, birchall, yorke(even though his spot book!) and whitley fighting it out
maybe even throw Keon Daniel in d middle...
-
It look like we finally sort out the defence, even though we could be better in that department.
as for the midfield, wouldn't this be ah better option.
telesford wolf james tallest edwards = dog avery cyde hislop thomas
carlos birchall hyland whitley= daniels- latas -yorke- roberts-guerra
then up front stern , KJ , scotty , glenn, MC farlene.
i think this should be the 24 core players who we keep handy.

JC you ever seen Mats play Roberts as a midfielder?
