Aklie Edwards offered MLS contract
TTPro League

http://www.ttproleague.com/cms/News/ViewArticle/tabid/55/selectmoduleid/370/ArticleID/373/reftab/36/Default.aspx
Current Trinidad and Tobago Senior Team defender and Defence Force player Aklie Edwards is reported as being offered a contract by Major League Soccer(MLS) club Colorado Rapids.

However according to the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation(TTFF) media release, Edwards has not made a decision whether he will sign with the club.

The former T&T U23 player is still with Rapids in Argentina on their preseason tour. Edwards is also eyeing an opportunity in Europe and is carded to go on trial in Germany later this month.

Edwards has played in three matches against Argentinos Juniors, Velez Sarsfield and River Plate during Rapids pre-season camp in Argentina.

“The experience has been good. I played in three games, coming on in the second half and I’ve settled in. They have offered me a deal but I haven’t made a decision on whether I’m taking it up yet,” Edwards said in the TTFF release.

“It’s good to be back in Argentina after being here with the (T&T) national team last month. But our training now has been a bit different because the club is preparing for a full season coming up. Right now my fitness is good and I’m making sure that I’m in shape for the World Cup qualifiers coming up against Honduras and USA.”

T&T will play Honduras in their next World Cup qualifier on March 28 at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, in which Aklie Edwards hopes to be part of.

As we have reported on this site from Day 1, Aklie was in Argentina with the Red Bulls, who returned to NY yesterday. The only other MLS team that was in Argentina for pre-season was the Sounders.

ah like these 2 paragraphs  :D

"Now, after a few pre-season games and training sessions, Richardson is confident that the club likes what it sees in him. He said his onus is to prove himself with the team and take the club to a championship. “Coachman has been telling me ‘that is what I want to see from you’ steady, steady,” he said referring to Smith’s observations of his on-field display. “The team like me, you know … they say that once I get going I look like I’d make this team go far.”
But, it hasn’t been all silky striking for the soccer star in his new environment. Richardson is still trying to thaw out his unfamiliarity with the mile-high city’s chilly climes. “They could see that I ain’t accustom to this kind of weather, but I getting a lot of help to deal with it, especially at this time (tail-end of the winter season). I usually wear gloves and them kinda’ things when training.” However, he took a short time to get over the ‘cultural shock’ in the south-western state. “The team is a good one with a nice coaching staff. Nobody is a favourite here, everybody getting to know and appreciate one another and I like it here, already. The people around are really nice"

Some of allyuh kinda harsh oui. Club football is not international football. Aklie may not be ready for the latter, but he is more than ready for the former, especially MLS standard. What if every club on the planet only bought a young player after he was ready for international ball.....you'd never hear of the some of the greatest talents cuz they'd have to develop into the final product (or close to it) in their domestic league before any clubs take a chance on them. Clubs will buy a young player, raw player like Aklie if they think he has the tools they can mold into an effective player given the club and league's playing standard's. I've never come out in his defense, but I'm sure even if he never develops into a top class international, he has enough tools to develop into a decent professional. Man..KJ is supposedly an EPL 'star' and eh look no better than Aklie in the midweek game. Last year Carlos Edwards couldn't see his way when his head was out of sorts. I see man like Scotty killing dem in the Championship and look out of sorts for T&T in the past...I see Scott Sealy look class in MLS and struggle to trap a ball in the Shell Cup. Give the young fella ah chance. Despite his shakiness at the international level, I could easily see an MLS club  taking a chance to see if he develop into something they desire.
