A Suggestion to Maturana, Do Scouting Throughout both Islands...

[TrinInfinite]

I think Maturana should do a scouting camp in both Trinidad and Tobago, there are a lot of talented players in tobago also which may catch Maturana's eye not to mention in Trinidad, I don't think he should limit his selections to players who are playing professionally only, of course that would be the first objective but I wouldn't leave it as the only avenue to scout football talent.

He should hold a camp in Tobago and also one in Trinidad, I think that will cover all of his bases and it will also allow him to see what talent the nation has, it will also address alot of tobagonians who feel left out when it comes to the national team, I've heard from many sources that there are some very good players in tobago who go unseen, I think a thorough scouting mission in both islands will be a very good option before our qualifying starts..

lets not put the cart in front the horse...and correct me if im wrong, but the Uruguayan experts are coming to assess our pros and coach Matuarana will be wking cloosely with the pro league coaches, advising them what necessary preparation is needed to have players on their club...up to international level...This is excellent...i just dont see how it will develop our pros as some post suggested...I just think its more of a discovery project....looking for that new next talent....by the time players get to pro league they are peaking...however there will be those select few with that God given ability who can still improve further...i hope they find them...and even though the pro league is our highest level of local football...i hope the search is not only done there...lets have a Trinidad Idol....village by vilage...town by town....an open invitation for all footballers to showcase their ability....We must discover someone...must!!...and lets have the Uruguayan as the independent voice of reason....no Corneal influence...no local favoritism and nonsense...just picking the best..maybe it will work..maybe it wont..

I understand the point of views but we trying to implement a system in the country. Basically, if a man playing minor league, we expect a pro club to spot him and draft him in (eg Marvin Oliver) If a man ripping in college league, a neighbourhood side will draft him in...and that is how it have to work.
The last minor league man to play national team was Sherman 'Ants' Phillip who was scoring for fun...and he show how big the gap was.

We can;t expect our national coach to be checking every bush league for players...that is unreasonable.

I agree with the orginal title tho, that we need to find more Tobago men  cause Tobago United not doing that job  and i sure it have more good players out there.

There are only so many hours in a day. As things stand, Pacho already have real wuk on he plate. Also, lehwe not forget that he's only really around on a short-term basis IN THE FIRST INSTANCE officially ...

A scouting camp etc. is a real noble signal, buh family he jes jes reach and nuff men deyah long time who shoulda been handling that end of our affairs ... For as many rough diamonds to be located on the twin rocks, we have others in the diaspora crying out for attention ... Iz long time now TTFF need a foreign liaison to deal with college-based and other players on the outside ... worse yet Tobago. Buh same way men bawling Tobago, man could be bawling Deep South or elsewhere.
 
Clearly the way to move fwd right now is to handle the first round of qualifying with the known/quasi-known commodities or men who easily in reach ... digging for talent could come later. Plus it eh jes whether dem men could real play, de nex assessment is whether dey could play and function within an organized set-up featuring demands. Birchall right now cyah even/ not even  geh a look in and resources hadda spend towards uncertain outcomes? I eh so sure dahs where de $$$ is at right now ...

Delegation is a useful tool ...

The problem with delegation is that one of them being delegated is Anton a known recycler of the same players time and time again and very limited to exploring and discovering new talent pacho obviously have an eye for young talent he goh have to organise  and do them things itself which in retrospect if organised correctly might not be as stressfull as you may think .....

[asylumseeker]

Yeah, ah know dat was coming ... ah referring to delegation circumventing him, buh dat still has limitations ...

Look, leh we face facts. Right now Anton is an integral cog in the wheel ... utility is another issue (for some), but integral he is ... as a kinda facilitator he go be around plenty a de activity ... for right now, dahs an inescapable scene ...

Pacho trusts his brother, buh again ... how much time dem men want to address looking outside of the usual fora under de circumstances ...

Plus, wham to Vranes?

[Mr Mc]

i think scouting high and low is a great idea, if the TTFF had done it back in early or even in late 2006.  And now we would have had a pool of players for any coach to work with, the head coach aint have time for all of that.
Well maybe if the TTFF had not wasted the last 16 months.

seeker i understand where your coming from, the time is an issue i understand but scouting players in the both islands for a period of 2 weeks to a month can't kill our progress in terms of the national team, i understand alot is on his plate but maturana did mention the future of the program in an article and scouting for diamonds in the rough is in line with the future of our program, hopefully he can do it sometime in the set-up minus any spokes in the wheel which seem to be a problem in our nation, which has hindered development and progress....
