Ah next Ready Make.... lard fadda......
Ah sorry for them players who play in the NPL....
Simoes seems to be trying to be protecting his reputation. No long term and core isn't being build but only short term and quick fix....
Sam, dont worry about the NPL players...the best of them will rise to the top like others have in the past. Ricardo Gardener etc were NPL player who managed to rise to the top and earn a decent living for himself playing in the English top flight for over 7 years. What you guys dont realise is that there are more Jamaicans living outside of the country than those living on the island. The true population of Jamaicans all around the world is something closer to 5 million, 2.3 of us are living outside in the diaspora. We have 3 times the number of players outside who are ready and willing to be associated with Jamaica than you have. You talking about ready-made players, like I said before, no league in the caribbean can truely prepare our players like the english leagues, so who are we to be snuffing at players who have been exposed to football at the highest level? You think Dwight York or stern John would be the players they are today if they had not been exposed to professional football in England?
And Sam, you dont know much about simoes to make those wild comments. You sound like you are a worried man.
So what's your take on the T&T Strike Squad (1990) and the 1973 T&T teams ??
Both of them fully local, by the way... we didn't even have a Pro League at the time and we were beating big teams in CONCACAF like Mexico, we thrash them 4-0...
Dwight Yorke and Stern John had to be good in the first place in order to gain a foreign contract. Club and Country football is two different things, dont matter how much club experience you have at international level you could be zero... a foreign club will help no doubt, but its all up to the heart of the players in the end...
Why would I be worried about Jamaica, who with all or let me give you the benefit of the doubt, 96% of their star players couldn't beat a local T&T team with the exception of 4 foreign players. TWICE !!!! and in Jamaica we have one foreign player and we still managed to rally back and tie the game 2-2. Get real bra.... I am sure if you had a choice to pick, 1) play bad but win, 2) or play good and lose,,,,, you will pick option 1.... so what level is King and the others foreign born brining ? or are they on the same level as the T&T locals... ?
Stop with the dam excuse and continue building you foreign born 11..... by the time you meet Mexico you will be doomed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And by the way, you said you have 3 times the number of players outside who are ready and willing to be associated with Jamaica than you have. ? who are they ? We have 43 current foreign base professional players who were born and bread in T&T and even if you have more I am still glad because we have the most foreign players if you exclude foreign born... I still cant understand why you would want to take credit for a team who cant even sing de Jamaican Anthem...
