Javed should not be new to anybody. He is a former U-17 captain. He is not a speedy player, he uses skill more than brawn. I saw him briefly in a college game. And he was decent that night. You know how college games does be sometimes, 100 miles a min. I think he is one that TTFF should have in their pool of players, especially now that he is drafted. He don't have to deal with classes anymore. I know he use to player mid in high school, but was shifted to the wing back. I was hoping he would develop as a mid man, but we will see. He will first have to make the final cut, then we can talk about professional life.

Family support guides Javed to MLS.
By:Shaun Fuentes (Guardian).

Former national under-17 captain Javed Mohammed says the ongoing support of his family has been a major influence in his success in the United States which resulted in him being drafted by Colorado Rapids last week.

Mohammed is currently in training with Rapids following an outstanding season with University of South Florida where a series of impressive performances in the left back position caught the eye of Rapids head coach Gary Smith. “My family has been my main form of inspiration.

Being away from them is very hard but I know they are behind me one 100 per cent. My parents have been really encouraging and I know whatever happens they will forever be proud,” added the La Romaine born Naparima College graduate.

Mohammed noted his style has changed. “When I played in T&T, my position was left wing. When I came to college, the coach examined my play and said he wanted me to try the left back role.

My main asset is my left foot. “At USF, I take all free kicks and corners so this helps when it comes to getting the attention of teams.

In my position I’m versatile, running up and down the flank. The style of play has changed so left backs are now attacking more and I’m fulfilling that role now.”

Good luck Javed. I remember reading about him playing in the mid and upfront in college and for the youth team. Good the have players who can play different position without any hassle.

Yuh have tuh keep in mind dat our players are fighting for international roster spots which are a limited resource.

Allyuh have to understand what American coaches look for first is size, speed and strength. Javed is a defender if I recall correctly so he will be easily bypassed.

Food for thought, if Messi had tried out for the MLS he never would have made it.

Speed and strength, yes. Size, not necessarily. Though it does help. And that's not just MLS, that's ALL top level football.

Messi has the first two. And incredible skill. So yes, he would have made it to the MLS. To think that he would not is absurd. Food for thought, is Keon Daniel big, strong and speedy?
