I real happy for Peltier and for T&T... We future startin' to look bright. Congrats to him and all involved in getting this promising youth to a top flight team. Big up Portsmouth for recognising our talent and placing such "record breaking" faith in de youth.... real good news!!!

dwight yorke joined villa in 1989 as a 17 yr old

kenwyne jones southampton in 2004 as a 19 yr old

i wouldnt say our future start to look bright it looking bright form since 89. we always have produced individual talents, nothing new there

I think what firebrand trying to say is that it's only march 2007 and check where our young players are:

2 on loan in Belgium - Aaaron Downing, Matthew Bartholomew (both initially signed with sheffield united)
1 in Holland - Darryl Roberts
2 in England - Peltier, Guerra (if this news is true)

that all happen this year....in your post, you called 2 players in a 15 yr time span....

our future is starting to look bright

I awaiting theories too of how our youths getting a bligh so.....

is it de agents? de world cup? are these players so much better than the youths we had in de past?

Yes lickslikefire that is what I was saying, but there is more meaning to my statement. There are many other factors besides an abundance of talent that can positively or negatively impact our future... our current football administration, coach, team chemistry are just a few. I am not one to "count my chickens before they hatch". This recent development of a FEW of our young talents getting interest and exposure in top leagues in Europe is very promising, however I will still not go as far to say our future is looking bright.

We can have all or most of our senior team players in top leagues around the world (which we don't) and still amount to a fly fart in de world of football.

I still haven't seen anything, anywhere else similiar to any of the two reports. Has anyone seen any other news forthcoming. Pompey doesn't have anything on their official website.

This is great for both youths, but I need to see an official report.

Atulah is a good player but how will he gain a work permit. ?

As opposed to what?

?

Arsenal has the best players at his age and if he thrives there he will do well. Most of the ex Arsenal youths are representing well. Check David Bentley or Jermaine Pennant.

A 18yr old's decision shouldn't be based on playing time but on where he can develop best.

about guerra, i dont think darryl had a trial with rotterdam before signing with them, so its possible that guerra could be signed without a trial. perhaps some scouts were in trinidad or fenwick's recommendation was enough.

i just commenting though, i dont know the deal.

Back in Oct last year after the U20 game versus Barbados I came on this site and told people that Guera was the best U20 player on the pitch and that he should be included on the national team in front of men like hardest and even whitley, Because of his game style and age he can be a great holding midfield for us.

He has good size and speed and excellent touches.

Hopefully he can build a good foundation at portsmouth

This guy has ability and is physical enough to handle the english game

POMPEY SET TO SPEND

26 Mar 2007

Dirty 'Arry Redknapp has promised to spend the cash to turn Pompey into real challengers for the European places next season - starting by bringing in West Brom defender Curtis Davies and hijacking Arsenal's move for Lester Peltier.

The Daily Mirror reports that Portsmouth have set thweir sights on Davies - currently out for the rest of the season, and also a target for Spurs and Newcastle - as the perfect partner for Sol Campbell.

18-year-old Peltier, meanwhile, has impressed at both Pompey and Arsenal on trial, and will be offered a move if he can secure a work permit. A cap for Trinidad & Tobago before the summer should secure it.

Portsmouth may be ready to hijack 18-year-old midfielder Lester Peltier's move to Arsenal from Trinidad and Tobago club San Juan Jabloteh. (Various)

Reported by various British papers today. So it look like the earlier stories of Portsmouth offering him a four year deal were jumping to conclusion.

I also read the boy have a dutch grandmother, so he should have no problem getting an EU work permit if dat true.

As for how Pompey hear of these boys, Fenwick was they manager for almost three year, so I guess he contacted them and in the case of the boy who have no trial, I guessing they trust the man's word.

What's all this talk about a work permit, wasn't it said he has a Dutch grandmother and thus eligible for an EU passport. Also, it was said he was having passport problems which delayed his return to Trinidad, I don't understand these developments at all.

Has he signed or are they still negotiating?

This thread keeps highlighting Dutch ancestry - as far as I know (but there's a good chance I'm wrong

), only the Italians give out citizenship based on where yuh granny was from - the Dutch don't. Anyone checked?

More importantly, if you are granted Dutch citizenship, you have to renounce all other citizenships.

Portsmouth rival Arsenal for T&T starlet
tribalfooball.com - March 25, 2007

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is moving for Trinidad & Tobago starlet Lester Peltier.
Midfielder Peltier, 18, has spent the past month on trial with the Gunners and Cardiff as well as Redknapp's Portsmouth.

Terry Fenwick, coach at Peltier's Trinidad and Tobago club San Juan Jabloteh, claims Pompey are now ready to begin talks after Arsenal stalled.

Ex-Fratton Park chief Fenwick revealed: "Portsmouth have shown they are interested and we are awaiting the outcome."

Hi there,

Finally got approval to post here.

Don't know whether any of you play the game the but I do the research for Portsmouth on Football Manager 2007. Part of this process involves trying to find out little bits of information.

I have followed this thread for the past couple of days and a couple of things stand out for me.

Is there confrimation he has Dutch Citizenship, if so anyone have a link saying for definite that he has?
Does anyone have his Date of Birth?
Also his league history, appearances and goals?

Don't know whether any of you have seen it but alot of people use this site for getting their regular sports news

http://www.newsnow.co.uk/newsfeed/?name=Portsmouth (select whatever club down on the left hand side)

Has anyone got any videos of Peltier in action at all?

Cheers

Andrew

Allyuh forget too that Fenwick used to manage Portsmouth from 95 to about 98 and he's a former england player. He got a lot of weight in the UK. I know Portsmouth were interested, i do think however that it will be difficult to get a work permit with the limited international experience.

Peltier For Pompey?

By Jim Bonner Monday 26th March 2007

Fenwick hopes to seal a deal for T & T U-21 player...

Lester Peltier. Have you heard of him? I certainly haven't but apparently he's one of Trinidad and Tobago's best young talents and has recently been given a trial by Arsenal.

Peltier now plays for San Juan Jabloteh who are managed by ex-Pompey boss Terry Fenwick and it's now been reported that Fenwick has accompanied Peltier to Portsmouth in hopes of getting him a contract to play in the Premiership.

Peltier is said to be Trinidad and Tobago's most talented U-21 starlet so it's very possible that Pompey will regain some of the T & T flavour we lost when Shaka Hislop left the club.

The papers also continue to link us with a move for West Brom's Curtis Davies. I'll believe it when I see it...
