Sancho also confirmed that Central have agreed a deal that will see one of their players transferred to ex coach, Terry Fenwick’s new club in Belgium, CS Visé.  “The deal between the clubs has been agreed, but the player won’t sign personal terms until next week, so we won’t be announcing his name just yet. However, I can confirm that it is one of the 5 Central F.C. players on the national team.” said Sancho.......

Insider's information has been accurate so i believe Plaza is the player.

From a business standpoint it makes perfect sense. I knew it would be either Plaza or Winchester and Plaza makes the most sense because hes in his prime. Central said they are using this opportunity to build a brand and connections overseas, therefore it's best to send the finished article (Plaza) than the kid with potential.

The ironic thing about this situation is that i believe that Joevin Jones would be the perfect player for CS Vise to sign. Hes a player who doesnt do well on trials and needs an arm around his shoulder and since Fenwick knows him and his abilities he could do that. Fenwick's team could benefit from a player of his exceptional quality. He would also probably make the team alot of funds when he is sold on. However Central and W Connection dont get along so sadly this probably wont happen.

So FS, seeing that you losing Plaza, you will be bringing Bobby Zamora!!!??!!!!

I dont think any potential move for W Connection players by Fenwick would have anything to do with Central tbh. And if it is Plaza who's being signed i still think he will be back for Winchester and Guerra after evaluating his team. Plaza proved to me he's a better player than i judged him to be though. Fair play to him and good luck

Vote for the Central FC Goal of the Season! The scorer of the winning goal will be awarded at the Club's annual awards ceremony. Voting closes on Wednesday 28th May at 9 am. http://centralfctt.com/videos/video.php?v=18

[Football supporter]

I'm still liking Winchester's winning goal vs Army, but the bicycle kick was inspired. And the one where he chased down the Connection defence. But then, Oliver's freekick was sublime and I loved Guerra's cool finishing. And, of course, Plaza's finish from the edge of the box was Shearer-esque and his chest and volley was class.
Thank God I don't have to decide!

[amielisadore]

Today is the last day to VOTE for your Goal of the Season.  Voting closes tomorrow at 9 am. Vote and Share! http://centralfctt.com/videos/video.php?v=18

[asylumseeker]

Ah hadda say, ah spend quite a lil while dey evaluating the goals ... buh then ah realize allyuh have the vote tally showing (perhaps a disincentive for ppl tuh vote given the runaway train already and evidently in progress with goal i; Winchester v. Connection) ... so maybe next time doh prematurely show how the vote going?!

Other observation: Marvin Oliver's goal suffers because another or multiple camera angles were not available. It took me a while to appreciate one of the subtleties regarding that goal ... Initially I was sceptical and had reservations because it was a dead-ball situation to be considered against goals in open play ... so I started considering how the other goals came about relative to defensive actions, the quality of the opposition, time, space, movement etc.

For me, the two most convincing goals in open play are (d) and (b) in that order. Plaza v Rangers (struck with authority, intent, placement, movement off the ball between two defenders) is (d) and (b) Winchester v DF (deft, subtle; recognized available space, knew what he was going to do on his first touch, before he did it).

NEVERTHELESS, my vote went to the captain. Oliver's goal ... primarily based on his placement of the ball vis-a-vis the GK's starting position. That was top-shelf quality under conditions that didn't lack anything.
 
In closing, ah will cast some salt on the fact that yuh could vote twice. How ah know that? I tested it ... so subtract one vote.

Buh yuh know what, ah feel ah stumbled on why we might have a runaway train in the voting. 

[Football supporter]

Asylumseeker, I agree with your observations. This was our first time at this and we are learning fast! However, I thought the video was well put together. We were very reliant on the footage recorded by the TV companies, but we now have two cameras of our own at the games, so multi angle is possible.
Of course, the importance of the goals is not made clear, and next year we will include a voice intro to explain the moments when the goals were scored. (b) Winchesters goal was the winner in the First Citizens Final, while Marvin's was the first in the 3-0 league victory over Connection.

Goal (I) is possibly winning as it was the winner against Connection in the Lucozade Goal Shield!

Thanks for voting!!

Oliver is Central FC Player of the Year 2013/2014.
ttproleague.com.

Thirty-eight-year-old veteran midfielder Marvin Oliver was named Central FC Player of the Year on Wednesday night when the club hosted its 2013/2014 season Dinner and Awards Ceremony at Super Industrial Services (SIS) Auditorium in Couva.

Oliver, who recently penned a two-year extension and turns 39 in August, beat top performers and Trinidad and Tobago internationals Willis Plaza, Rundell Winchester and goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams, and brothers Elton John and Jason Marcano to the award.

But Oliver, who won similar awards at former clubs Caledonia AIA and San Juan Jabloteh, prefers to share his latest award with his Central teammates.

"My teammates deserve to share the award with me," said the classy midfielder, who in 2007 had won the Toyota/TT Pro League Player of the Year award.

"My name was called to receive the award but I wouldn't have been voted the top Central FC player if it wasn't for the support of my teammates on and off the field. We worked as a team and they allowed me to strive and do what I do best."

Oliver admitted however, that it is a tremendous accomplishment for him, especially at his age, and was again thankful for the support of his teammates and coaching staff.

"I would like to get into coaching, although for the past few years I've been coaching while playing," Oliver responded, when asked how long he expects his playing career to last.

"But presently I am still able to do what I love doing, which is to play, and I have the support of my teammates. I would go on as long as my body can," concluded the ex-T&T midfielder.

Twenty-year-old Tobagonian Winchester, whose deceptive speed caused problems for opposing teams and excited the league, grabbed three awards on the night.

Winchester was named the Central FC's Young Player of the Year, Goal of the Season Player, and Supporters' Choice Goal of the Year.

Plaza with 18 goals in 20 matches for the "Sharks" has been a sensation since joining the club during the mid-season (December/January) transfer window. Plaza picked up the club's Golden Boot and Most Offensive Player awards.

While 2006 Toyota/TT Pro League Player of the Year, goalkeeper Williams, was awarded the Most Defensive Player accolade, ahead of top defenders Yohance Marshall and Elton John.

John's work however, didn't go unnoticed, and he picked up the Supporters' Player of the Year, while brother Marcano was chosen as the Players' Player of the Year.

All awardees were crucial in the second-year-old club's First Citizens Cup and Lucozade Sport Goal Shield titles this season, and a second position finish in the Digicel Pro League to qualify for the 2015 Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship.

Lady Sharks vs Real Dimension Match Report

The Lady Sharks bounced back from a 3-0 opening round defeat to St. Ann's Rangers by shooting down Real Dimension 2-0 on Saturday 31st May 2014. In the opening round loss, the Lady Sharks looked disorganized and were constantly picked apart by their opponents who were excellent on the night. At New Settlement Ground though, against the WoLF defending champions, Real Dimension, the Sharks seemed a completely different team....READ MORE (http://centralfctt.com/Articles/article.php?r=42)

FS you said earlier in the season that there were many teams interested in your players. Will we see any players transferring to other teams besides CS Vise this window? On a side note as a football team director, which player on the team do you think raised their stock yesterday?

Lady Sharks Highlights vs Point Fortin Civic.

Lady Sharks 5 - 3 Civic

Unfortunately the highlights do not show Taylor's first goal; a 30 yard free kick into the top corner.

[chelsealife]

Who is the player that was to sign with CS Vise? Is that still on? Was it ever on? Any news would be appreciated

[amielisadore]

Transfer Rumor: The transfer of the unspecified player along with possible others have not been finalized. Transfer waters have been muddied by interest from rival teams. Announcements will be made when final decisions are made.
