Dynamo Notes: James loaned to Thunder
By Bernardo Fallas (Houston Chronicle)
The Dynamo have sent second-year center back Julius James on loan to the Minnesota Thunder of the USL First Division through June 28.
James has played just 33 minutes this season and is in need of action. He’s fast and physical, but coach Dominic Kinnear suggested in preseason that James was lacking 90-minute focus.
Since then, Geoff Cameron’s stellar play at center back and the addition of Andrew Hainault to the defensive corps have complicated James’ chances of breaking into the lineup.
James, 24, joined the Dynamo as part of the trade that sent Dwayne De Rosario to Toronto FC.

But which other defender do we have starting in the MLS? Sancho in the USL, Dog playing at an even lower level, Lawrence future uncertain, Abu Bakhr playing PFL. Avery eh starting for DC. It eh like he doing so much worse than anybody else. Frankly being in the USL at 24 years old is better than most of what we have now.

I agree ...aint like we have anyone except for Avery in the Costa Rica game who having a stellar performance...he should be able to try out for the position

Doh try and dance yuh foot out yuh mout! He still eh no worse off than anything we have. I see James play in Toronto, he could crack any back-line in the PFL. Seon Palos Power have plenty wuk to do
-

True enough, but Seon does get more beating than Palos d*ck. James has the ability he has to work on focus. Seon has focus, but don't have that natural brain for the game.
In truth the more they BOTH develop the better for us.

I see him play in Toronto too. Not jes you. I givin YOU talk. I like Julius James. But he NOT ready. And I talkin not ready for International ball. And yes....Makan Hislop dem better dan him right now. He regressin and dat is WORRYING because he have de physical tools.
Teams doh jes part wit dey #1 picks jes so and when dey do, de team dat pickin dem up doh send dem developmental league jes so needah. Julius James have PLENTY WORK to do before he could command a regular starting place in a MLS team far less we national squad.
Right now...Yohance Marshall is a better player.

I'd still want both players around the natioanl set up..I think it's about time we have a backline that is speedy and decent with the ball at their feet as both players seemed to be at youth level..I really don't know what happen with James..i hope the move does him well?
has Marshall got a run in the MLS with the Galaxy yet?

Yuh eh hadda give me no talks, I'm not one clamouring for James to get a pick. ;) But you eh give your opinion on James ability, yuh jes say he get a demotion. And that alone has no meaning for his inclusion or exclusion from the squad. If Southampton send Stern to House of Dread, he go still make the National side. And how much games Yohance been playing lately?
And as for MLS, at this stage of the Hex , I WISH at least one of our defenders could start in that league.

I already told u that James has the physical tools to play the game. But he not developin de way dat he should. His positioning is suspect. His discipline in terms of moving with the line is poor. He can play but he not playin at the level that consistent with his ability. Why dat is...I doh know. Andrew Hainault beatin him out at de club level. He is a nex player I familiar with. A very tough, heart and soul defender who does not have the physical tools that James has (speed in particular) but more than compensates for in smarts and desire. I also think James has more technical ability than Hainault but the fact that he can't beat him out for a spot on the team says a lot.
I hope Julius is a player who REALLY wants it because if he does, he can go very far. But if he doesn't, he'll join a host of other players who people will talk about "dah man coulda RELLLL play hoss. me eh know wha happen wit he nah....but he shoulda be playin wit Liverpool if wasn't for..........".
Leh we hope fuh he & T&T sake, he successful.

I have been hearing about James for a while now, but haven't seen him play. From the reports it seems like Marshall may be the ready one.

I surprised to hear his positioning is suspect ???. that was one of his strengths at Conn and TFC, in fact I think superior positioning was one of the major reasons he got a solid run with TFC.
Either way I hope he ketch himself. The scary thing is Hainault younger than James and is a regular/semi regular for Canada.

finally someone else saying what I've been saying for a while now.
-
I have been hearing about James for a while now, but haven't seen him play. From the reports it seems like Marshall may be the ready one.
None of them ready, but the problem is the federation not doing their part in bringing them along by playing with Lawrence, Avery and the rest. We already have the young raw material to develop as strong a defensive pool as we have ever had, but we managing the transition very poorly. No plan no brand.

Again I'm inclined to agree with this assessment. With the lack of friendlies, the lack of suitable tournaments to develop these players we're depending on their clubs and if they on the bench that's not helpng much

But really and truly, the Federation will find it hard to develop players outside their control. The reality is that the clubs are the one's developin de players and de truth is, we better off fuh havin de clubs develop we players because dey more professional dan we, dey have more expertise dan we, dey have more infrastructure dan we and dey have more resources dan we.
It would be nice fuh we to be completely comepetent and self sufficent in these areas but there are few countries of our size and resources who are.

I assume by "outside their control" you mean that when players are called up for tournaments if not FIFA sanctioned or friendlies, the clubs don't have to release them? The Federation can try to get more football at a high level to involve the players. The more opportunity they have the more we can tell who is ready for Intl ball. I know they have begun to do this with all the Digicel Caribbean tourney but we need more international friendlies. The U20's just had an experience that promises to be invaluable. The senior team could use things like that too. As some have said Venezuela is right there. South America is in our back yard, period.
I thank God for their clubs. Because if not, T&T would have been in deeper trouble. No, we couldn't develop the likes of Yorke and Latapy etc. But that may be said of most countries. The club football develops players better that the countries themselves do. But I also think that T&T can and will (some day) put a better, more respected and top notch football infastructure in place.

The sad reality is that the problem is not only limited to our defensive frailties, but our overall play at every position. I may even go as far as to say that it just may be a cultural thing... :beermug:

Teach them about meditation,focus on mind and concentration then.That might help.

Yeah a lot of coaches get fired for using "new age stuff" players find it silly ,but say a man like Phil Jackson is use it,Kobe use to find it stupid . Basically not trying to get tantric or to Zen but rather .trying to have them being able to focus for 90 mins . Just sit and close your eyes and dont think about nothing for 90 mins ,bet yah they cant do that lol .like my 9 yr old son .he"ll lose focus .
Or let Lara come and give a few tips about holding ones concentration for periods of time .Gus Logie did it when he coach Canada.

Well James should fit right into Latapy's plan just find as 90% of our players lacking the same....
On de other side, Minnesota Thunder is in flicking last place of the USL, don't say much for James.
Come on youth, do your thing, you in your prime.. yuh young and yuh strong.... stop jocking.....
-
It seems to be a cultural thing. Even The Sunderland coaches said that KJ is laid back and relaxed. Gally lamented the absence of the psychologist in the W/C game against USA on the dreadful day. Check it out we lose focus in the first ten minutes and in the last ten. Maybe they need Lara to help. Eastern meditation will help ask any Lakers player especially Kobe. It even helped him not to focus on any other woman but his wife.

Ey he coming to MN Ah go hail him out!!!!!!
yeah we could go check him out and do ah lil interview thing nah :beermug:

my $0.02 and personal opinion
not only is JJ a close brethren of mine from time(St. James and St. Anthony's days) but we were teamates last season at TFC and I must say that he is one of the hardest workers on the field and more in his spare time..when other people would call me to lime/play playstation etc..most of the time when he linked me,it would be to take him to the caribbean food store to get home grown ingredients(dasheen,yam,pumpkin etc) to make healthier/strengthening foods(his words) and to put in extra gym sessions/run stairs etc(which sometimes i would duck him..lol..JJ if you happen to read this..hard luck dey but i couldnt deal with all da running sometimes meh boy)..he would always ask the senior defenders after every practice what he was doing wrong etc etc...also to add to my point I feel that he's been a victim of 'raw deals' and unfair club dealings.(why would a CERTIFIED coach trade a proven mls mvp and a draft pick spot for a player that i quote 'can't keep 90 minute focus' and a few allocation dollars) what a bag of rubbish.
That said he's a strong minded person,full of positivity and determination so what is for him won't pass him.
When he gets a chance under the present national team coach I'm sure he'll make it count.

not only is JJ a close brethren of mine from time(St. James and St. Anthony's days) but we were teamates last season at TFC and I must say that he is one of the hardest workers on the field and more in his spare time..when other people would call me to lime/play playstation etc..most of the time when he linked me,it would be to take him to the caribbean food store to get home grown ingredients(dasheen,yam,pumpkin etc) to make healthier/strengthening foods(his words) and to put in extra gym sessions/run stairs etc(which sometimes i would duck him..lol..JJ if you happen to read this..hard luck dey but i couldnt deal with all da running sometimes meh boy)..he would always ask the senior defenders after every practice what he was doing wrong etc etc...also to add to my point I feel that he's been a victim of 'raw deals' and unfair club dealings.(why would a CERTIFIED coach trade a proven mls mvp and a draft pick spot for a player that i quote 'can't keep 90 minute focus' and a few allocation dollars) what a bag of rubbish.
That said he's a strong minded person,full of positivity and determination so what is for him won't pass him.
When he gets a chance under the present national team coach I'm sure he'll make it count.
Thanks for the perspective #8, we often have to rely on what is said in the media and by coaches. Unfortunately many of us sometimes don't even question these things and see the fallacy in the info being dispensed. If he is as strong minded as you say I have no doubt he'll rebound from this and if called upon will perform to his capabilities and probably beyond for the RWB.
Do yuh thing JJ we supporting yuh and callin fuh yuh inclusion in the NT setup!

James was given marching orders in his 1st game for Minnesota Thunder.
Timbers top Thunder 5-1
USLsoccer.com
PORTLAND, OR -- Forward George Josten and defender David Hayes each recorded a goal and an assist to lead the Portland Timbers to a 5-1 win over the Minnesota Thunder before 8,111 at PGE Park on Friday.
Josten logged his goal and assist in the first half to help the Timbers build a 2-1 lead at halftime. Hayes then guided the Timbers to a three-goal outburst in the second half to secure the win and a new Timbers modern-franchise record with an 11-game unbeaten streak.
Forward Takayuki Suzuki and defender Scot Thompson each scored their first goals of the season, while forward Mandjou Keita tacked on his fourth to help the Timbers (6-1-5, 23pts) move into second place in the USL First Division.
Midfielder Ricardo Sanchez scored for the Thunder (1-6-4, 7pts), who had three players sent off in the second half and saw a three-game winning streak come to an end.
The Timbers jumped on the board first with an early goal by Josten. Midfielder Brian Farber out-worked a Minnesota defender to a 50-50 ball that rolled back into the Thunder penalty area. Farber gained possession, slipped around his marker and found Josten on his way through the box. On his first touch, Josten poked the ball inside the back post to give Portland a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute.
Minnesota forward Rod Dychenko had a chance to level the score in the 13th minute as his 20-yard blast from 20 yards out got past Cronin, it but rattled off the left post and the ball bounced back into play.
In the 32nd minute, it was Josten who set up the Timbers second strike of the night. From midfield, Josten pushed the ball up field and attracted the Thunder backline, which left Suzuki wide open down the left side. Josten snuck a pass out wide for Suzuki, who unleashed a low drive from 20 yards out inside the right post to double Portland’s lead 2-0.
The Thunder were able to pull one back in the 38th minute on long-range goal from Sanchez. A foul committed by Timbers defender Stephen Keel set up a free kick roughly 30 yards out for Sanchez along the right post. Sanchez curled a ball around the Timbers wall and stuck it inside the near post to trim the Timbers’ lead 2-1.
Portland took control of the match in the second half, holding the Thunder to just three shots, on its way to out-shooting Minnesota 22-13. The Timbers pressure on goal led to a three-goal performance in the final stanza capped by Thompson’s header in the 90th minute.
Hayes opened the scoring in the second half following a foul in the box by Minnesota defender Julius James on Keita. After some discussion, midfielder Jonathan Greenfield was booked with a caution and James was sent off by referee Maurizo Laudani. Hayes then stepped up and slotted in his first strike of the season from the spot in the 64th minute, giving the Timbers a 3-1 lead.
The match turned physical as the second half settled in, and the Thunder saw defender Andres Arango issued a red card following a challenge with Portland midfielder Alex Nimo in the 86th minute.
With a two-man advantage late in the match, the Timbers’ momentum led to two more goals in the closing minutes of regulation. Hayes whipped a ball into the center of the box for Keita, who headed it in from close range to extend the home side’s lead to three goals. Then in stoppage time, second-half sub Josh Cameron delivered a corner kick from the right side that connected with Thompson inside the six-yard box to earn his first-career assist and put the final stamp on the Timbers’ 5-1 win.
After a stretch of five games in 11 days, the Timbers have an eight day break until their next match on Sunday, June 28 as they play host to the Montreal Impact at PGE Park at 5 p.m., as part of a doubleheader; the Timbers U-23s entertain the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency at 1 p.m. Tickets for both games are available the PGE Park box office, area Ticketmaster outlets, online at www.ticketmaster.com or by phone at (800) 745-3000.
Notes: Thunder forward Melvin Tarley was sent off in stoppage time following the final Timbers goal … Keita now leads the team in scoring with nine points on four goals and one assist … Timbers midfielder Brian Farber collected his team-leading third assist of the season aiding on Josten’s goal … The five-goal performance Friday was the Timbers largest goal output of the season.

You guys could say what alyuh want, James is a good center back.
If he plays in a low division and thus questioning his selection on the National team, so does almost every other player we have. Because if you guys did not realize most of our players play in the 2nd and 3rd division in England and Scotland, PFL and USL (which in short can sum up to more or less the same level).
On the topic of "not ready" for international level, so to is a lot of players on our present national team. However, that is what we have and that is what we work with. Players on our present national team defense makes the same mistakes and even more crucial mistakes than James. So what you'll point?
James, hope you get your confidence level back to where it was. All the best kid!
