Eyyhh allyuh open up allyuh minds before posting nah man!
and where did i say that we should discard the locals for the foreign based??
i said that we should not be talking local or foreign in other words, bc if my memory serves me right, i saw fellas like alkie edwards, kern cupid and kareem smith pushed out there to face the USA and the concacaf giants and they were utterly embarrassed! wham, allyuh never learn or what!
not bc we did good in a regional tourney guarantees us success against the like of panama, mexico and costarica!
i followed this whole tourney from start to finish and i ahve to say that our local boys are lacking real bad, and even though they might be thirsty, and showed tremendous spirit recently doesn't make it smart to throw them in with tougher opponents, i'm afraid they would not stand against the regulars in concacaf, let alone the giants.
allyuh suppose to know when corneal and dem talk about a local core, that would more than likely translate into 85% local based!
as for man who talking bout we need the locals to get practice bc when the foreign based can't make it, then they (the locals) will be available to fill the gap,
!
i say do like the USA, england, brazil, spain, italy, germany and mexico, they don't play friendlies outside of FIFA dates, and when they do they go with all their guns!
i happened to agree with dinner mints, we play our best players that's it!
allyuh eh notice something bout this last tourney, man like jorslin and jamal gay eh score ah fackin single goal, as ah matter of fact only one forward scored in this whole tourney, and it was richard roy, could you imagine going to the gold cup with roy, gay and jorslin?
had it not been for the midfield where would we get goals from? and if we didn't have goal scorers in the midfield then we would be sitting out another gold cup, wouldn't we?
goals was the reason we lossed the degicel cup, bc we had no goal scorers especially up front, not one!!
and as for foreign based vs local, this is not where im going with this, we need to incorperate the good locals with the good foreign based.
and IMO i can't take kevon carter, kenyon edwards, jorslin, gay, plaza, to the big danced, and ah hate tyo be hard on carter and edwards, but man like donovan and dempsey will out run dem, out smart them and out play them.
fellas who i feel need to leave home and they will be formidable players in the future, are, jovin jones, attulla guerra, aubrey david, daniel cyrus, curtis gonzales, seon power, and slyvester teasdale, these fellas have real potential.
man like kevon carter , kenyon edwards and richard roy, needs a lot of work before yuh could throw them in with bradley and altidor. yes they have potential, just like kareem smith, akkem adams and kern cupid did, but i don't know if you guys are aware of the term, spoiling a player?
you could spoil a players if you throw them in the mix before they could cope with the stress of that level of competition, and that's what happened to aklie and kareem smith, just ask those who know.
those guy were on their way and with a little care they probaly would have made it, but they met their fate when dummies like pancho and latas fed them tom the lions.
let these boys go learn properly before those monkeys in T&T spoil them!
IMO this is a nice mix of players who should be playing together from here on in.
defenders: C. mitchel, S.power, A. david, daniel cyrus, jlloyd samuel, carlos edwards, R. primus, C. gonazales.
midfielders: J. jones, D. theobald, H. hector, A. guerra, k molino, C. cato, lester peltier, C birchall, K. hyland.
forwards: K jones, D. roberts, richard roy, K jagdeosingh.
this is bearable. this is sensible IMO.
