Should hopefully have info on what happened to him over the last six months soon.

Finally a positive sign for Keon, glad he's back on track...the MLS pushes him above his comfort zone and keeps him assertive.

Didn't know his nickname was predator in Philly lol

I don't know who first coined it, but it was early into the '11 MLS season when it caught on as a nickname.

I know all about the P-1 visa situation, but for a while the news was coming out of T&T, not the US. Was hoping something had been leaked through your side. I guess not. 'tis discouraging.
Maybe it's an opportunity for you to do some investigative reporting with the club and shed some light to us on the matter.

Club won't say anything, but I have been trying to look into things. Just tough since he's probably still in T&T and I don't have access to much outside of the US.

Football / Keon Daniel in 2012

Hello all,

It's been a little bit since I last poked my head in here to talk to you about Keon Daniel and the Union. The team's training camp had physicals today, but as of now the club has said nothing about his status.

I happened upon this article: http://www.thetobagonews.com/sports/Boucher_earns_Soca_Warriors_call-up-137734243.html

It says there that Daniel "plys his trade with the Puerto Rico Islanders in the Puerto Rico Professional League and has been the only Tobagonian on the squad for some time was not called because newly appointed technical director, Anton Corneal who recently replaced former technical director Otto Pfster, told the Tobago News that they are giving the local players an opportunity to prove their worth hence the reason they have limited the number of overseas based players."

After confirming that there was a friendly against Finland four days ago, I searched around and couldn't find anything that would confirm Daniel had moved back to the Islanders.

Any chance someone knows of his status, or knows of such a transfer? Much appreciated if I could get a bit of help here. Nothing in Philly is pointing towards him having returned to America yet.

Thanks,

Anyone know what's up with Daniel? Why'd he get taken out at half?

So what was the plot again?? :thinking:

Not really sure what the problem is, but Philadelphia fans can't seem to figure out what is preventing him from playing for them.

Nah E, i was just adding ah little sarcasm to the thing bc i thought the article was pointless. i thought the journalist just wasted a lot of time writing this pointless article, and to prove what? daniel is ah small fry in the whole scheme of things.              positive.

The situation is confusing for the following reasons:

-His disappearance just kind of happened.
-The Union have been completely quiet about it besides refuting a report that was written on the Brotherly Game.
-TTFF reported that he may have Dengue Fever, then never said he didn't have it.
-Daniel is due to play tomorrow without any indication of what his illness was, is or anything of that nature.
-He has neither been inside of the United States, nor played for the Union since either August 28 or 29, without any explanation beyond "visa problems."
-This was most likely completely preventable.

It's a big mystery here in Philly why one of the players that was emerging this season all of a sudden is gone without a proper reason. The team and Daniel should have known about the situation and preventing it from happening in the first place. It's my feeling that the team muddled something, considering they took days to report 'officially' that Daniel had been called up to international duty. Plus the team has a history of players having problems with international duty and re-entry/visas (Cristian Arrieta).

This situation with Daniel has become a saga in Philly. He would most likely be starting at LM/LCAM if not for his visa problems, as the Union head into the 2011 MLS playoffs. Instead, he's still in T&T and hasn't done much soccer related since early September.
