The fact that he was unable to secure any meaningful contract at any level in UK .Does that not answer the question 
?
It just shows how bias and emotional people on this forum is . If Sancho was as good as people here make him out to be why the lack of interest in him where he went on numerous trials and assessed ?
But here he is assured a space on a NATIONAL TEAM !! Imagine that !
Who dont pick him is haters and should be hated.
In time to come Latapy , "the great coach " will be the focus of this same logic !!
This will make interesting reading !
While what you are saying is not devoid of all logic, the fact of the matter is that Brent, rightly or wrongly has developped a reputation as a headstrong troublemaker, and that has followed him around in England. This actually PRE DATES the blacklist. If you were paying attention, he got into trouble with Gillingham because he defied a club doctor's diagnosis deeming him unfit to play for the T&T NT by getting an independent doctor to diagnose him. That was how he found himself on the plane to Bahrain, and his career at that club suffered from it from that moment until he left.
He was reportedly offered one contract in Scotland that he refused (for family reasons it would seem, though one has to wonder the wisdom seeing that he ended up in the States after all was said and done) Things however aren't as cut and dry as they seem.
To answer the original question, i believe that Brent (at his best) is our best defender when it comes to having the ball at his feet and the timing of his tackles. I think he remains slightly suspect in the air, but mainly because of his lack of height as opposed to suspect positioning. His advantage over Tallest, and even Dog back in his day, is that he was less likely to get caught out ball watching. Unfortunately, he is not as good with his head as either one of those.
Can't compare him with Hislop except to say his positional awareness THEN is much better than Hislop's now, and he has Thomas beaten for speed. From what i heard, anybody is better than Dwayne Jack. Unfortunately, I've never seen James play.
Prior to the World Cup, Sancho was always a poor man's Dog, but he seemed to have genuinely benefitted from being called upon to replace him and going on the pre WC training camp. I think he was about to hit his peak when he fell out with Gillingham. The main problem is its impossible to guess what his performance would be like now and Atlanta backline been so crappy all year, i doubt you can draw any solid conclusions from 10 games there.
Did anyone see him play there?
