Yorke agrees compromise.

Yorke agrees compromise.
Sunderland Echo.

Dwight Yorke will link up with Trinidad & Tobago next month but has agreed to sit out one of his country's friendly games.
Yorke had a discussion with Roy Keane this week after the manager questioned the wisdom of his 34-year-old striker going away for the best part of two weeks.
It ended with an agreement that Yorke would travel for the October 7 game against Nicaragua but come back to England and not be involved in the friendly with Panama four days later.
Keane said today: "I spoke to Dwight on Tuesday. Clearly, he won't be involved in the next World Cup and he has come here and made a commitment for the next two years.
"Trinidad & Tobago see Dwight as the main man – an ambassador for his country – and I would never begrudge anyone playing for their country.
"After that conversation, we have agreed he will go over for the first game next weekend and come back here on the Sunday or the Monday.
"It is a compromise that is fair to his country, to Dwight and to Sunderland.
"Dwight is not getting any younger and these internationals are just friendlies.
"We have tried to be fair to everyone."
Yorke has previously admitted that he needs to improve his fitness after arriving from Australian A-League champions Sydney and playing two international friendlies ahead of three games in eight days for Sunderland would have been a tough task for any player, let alone the veteran.

I agree but since we only have Yorke for the Nicaragua game I want to see goals galore in that game... a hatrick from Yorke will be nice!  8)

This is a very good compromise. Yorke can pass some valuable tips and experience onto the younger guys in the squad. When he leaves after the first match it will be a good test to see how our players go against a decent Concacaf side like Panama without Yorke.

We have to view this as the johnnie walker being half full not half empty. It would be nice to have Yorke for both games but all things taken into account (lacking fitness, new boy at Sunderland, mad man Keane) this is a good start.

Anways Yorke has another 4 years with us at least so we have to keep Sunderland and Keane sweet.

Competion wise ah would think he would have played de Panama game, ah cud be wrong, but Panama suppose tuh be better opposition for T&T. Any way thanks tuh Yorke and Keane, fuh working out something dat both club and country should be happy with.
