So wether Roopie do good or bad, it doesn't matter because Central can't afford to sign him, so he wasting time then?
What is de purpose of de trial?
He should go to Rangers, them need help bad and he would guarantee a run if they sign him.
W Connection is a good place to go also, but them squad deep, Roopie might not be able to make that team.
Point might be another option but them might be broke to.
Apart from being broke, Central is a good option to, and they just won the First Citizens Cup first prize of $100,000, they could spend a few dollars to improve they depth so when players get call up by T&T at least it wouldn't hurt them so much.
They have to make de sacrifice if they want a better side and more trophies. A one year contract with a new young player can't be much?
no offense to the guys back home in the pro league, but i have lost confidence in them a while back... roopchand should look for a mls team or try to get to europe, running in the pro league is a step back imo... the league and admin already disorganized... get to a scout or an agent in north america, europe and forget fighting up with people who backward thinking
Right, so he was born in USA, played his entire career in USA, yet these magic people are better than we? Get real bro....every single professional club in the world has a budget and has to make the same decisions. You can't even spell the boy's name correctly, yet we backward
FS, I understand your passion for local football and your dedication but your post was just plain ignorant and out of place. Reason being, the comments I made to Sam was not directed at you or central but the pro league admin and heads that run the league, who I have dealt with before and who continue to fail on a yearly basis. Before you even came on the TT scene in terms of anything football, so please spare me the martyr bullshit because I've been around football a while.
whether you want to face it or not, the US system is better run and funded, and supported, those are facts, as well as the UK and europe. I agree the pro league has helped many players but the heads still falter and lack foresight... Up to now T&T does not have 5 reputable agents for football, which makes it even worse for players who need to be nurtured in a better system, nothing against Central FC and to be honest my comments to Sam was referring to the league and not your club, next time I will clarify myself better or better yet, maybe you should ask instead of jumping to asnine statements.
And for the record I don't know your budget and don't pretend to know or cast judgement, I hope you or another club does sign him and see how far he can be developed.
Contro, yes, I did snap at your comments, perhaps unjustly, but my point remains: if Roopie is so obviously a potential superstar, then why hasn't the MLS scouts or agents picked him up? You seem to think that it's so obvious that a Pro League club should sign Roopie, yet no U.S. team has.
Yes, there are loads of improvements needed in T&T football, not least the fact that a principal at a school often has more sway that the entire ProLeague, but we are trying to improve things.
As for Roopie, I try to explain the situation from the clubs perspective. No matter how much everyone wants this to be a success story, the fact is that, like USA and UK, clubs have to look at the value a player can add. It's up to Roopie to perform to a level that ensures that he is signed. Maybe some coaches won't fancy him and the next coach will. But as mentioned before, Ian Wright had countless attempts before he finally got a Pro contract.
I never once implied that the U.S. system is not better run than the Pro League...that would be pretty dumb, so I'm not sure where you got that from...or the "martyr bullshit".
You did have the decency to say "no offence" and I realise you were not taking a shot at Central, but sadly for us, Central is part of the Pro League and we can only get better if the league gets better. Unfortunately, there are some clubs that still don't understand this. It's a case of "all for one and me for myself"
