This will certainly be the opportunity forumites were asking for, so that he could develop his skills and become a better player. Hope he makes the best of it.

Yeh bro, i think kingman was thinking bout ancil farrier. but it's aklie edwards he talking bout. he also have a thread wid farrier, since both ah dem get ah bligh .

i real glad for the fella if he get picked up, BC he really need to leave T&T if he wants to excell as a defender.

i don't like his game, but from what i hear he's very promising. good luck aklie, hope yuh land the contract.

Ince, Carlos Edwards and Scotland come to mind easily as former military men who now pursue professional foreign football careers.

Celades among the Red Bulls new trialists
soccerbyives.net

The New York Red Bulls' search for a solid veteran defender have led them to a player with an impressive resume who just might be the center back the club has been looking for.

The Red Bulls have brought in former FC Barcelona and Real Madrid defender Albert Celades in for a trial in Argentina, where the club is currently training. Celades, 33, most recently played for Real Zaragoza, spending three seasons with the club, which was relegated to the Spanish second division during his stint there.

A versatile player who has played in a defensive midfield role as well as in central defense during his career, Celades is skillful, tough and experienced. Whether the Red Bulls can actually afford him remains to be seen, but the fact that he has actually joined the team in camp speaks volumes.

Celades wasn't the only player to join the Red Bulls in Argentina.

The club has also brought in Mexican defender Jaime Duran and Trinidad & Tobago defender Akile Edwards. A former Mexican Under-23 national team player, Duran is coming off a failed stint with Greek club Skoda Xanthi after leaving Mexican club Morelia for Europe. Duran enjoyed a lengthy spell with Mexican club Atlas at the start of his career.

Edwards, 23, is another left back prospect for a club desperate to add a left back before the start of the season. Sources have told SBI that talks with Salvadorean left back Alberto Pacheco are ongoing.

What do you think of this group of trialists? Like the idea of the Red Bulls adding Celades? Hoping the club can land a central defender AND a left back before the start of the season?

Any roster spot would help him with getting some professional training and conditioning. btw am I the only one who think Akile does look like Samuel E'to

elan · « **Reply #21 on:** February 22, 2009, 07:59:03 PM »

Call me out on this one cause I still not impressed and have not seen anything. I will stick to this. Like someone say we don't know anything and just have a forum to air we ignorance. I could back up my ability to talent spot, but won't get into that.

Any way good luck and work hard we need international defenders.

Sancho getting that contract in The Vale Breakfast Party or wha?

Latas was there too, but he business done fix up.

What are the MLS rules regarding non-US citizens? How many can the Red Bulls add to their roster? I wonder if they are willing to go with the relatively raw talent of Edwards and work on his development. At 23 he is young, but is that young enough that a team will try to develop?

I know this guy has some potential. I hope he gets thru with this endeavour. Good luck

Aklie Edwards is in the second-half lineup for the Red Bulls in their scrimmage against Velez Sarsfield. The half-time score was Red Bulls 2, Velez 0.
