WOW, look at the quality from USA, MEX and CRC. Meanwhile our guys playing for Goa United. SMH. Why is it that years ago we had so many players in good leagues and now it's nothing. Are these fellas just content with playing for a reasonable salary with W or Central or whoever. 

BTW, the only way Yedlin stays at Seattle is if he doesn't want to go to Europe. He has only been pro for about a year and already stunning in the world cup.

[Sam]

Players Under 25 who we can still get and I hope is considered.

Daniel Carr (20 - Fleetwood Town) - F, Nick DeLeon (23 - D.C. United) - F, Sheanon Williams (24 - Philadelphia Union) - D, Nicholas Walker (24 - FC Dallas) - D, Andre Fortune (17 -  North Carolina Fusion) - M, Johan Welch (17 - Houston Dynamo) - GK, Uriah Bentick (25 - Carolina RailHawks) - D, Damani Richards (19 - Harrisburg City Islanders) - D, Garrett Welch (18 - Houston Dynamo) - D and Chris Regis (18 - Southampton) - F.

[Errol]

Work permits is the short answer. The 2006 squad had around a dozen guys playing in UK alone. Now we have 3 or 4 tops. Those guys playing in the Far East or lesser European leagues would all have got contracts in the English or Scottish leagues if it wasn't for the work permit criteria.

Also, you could add to that list Levi (17) & Nathaniel (19) Garcia. Both should emerge this season as players with a shout for the national team.

[toonmili]

Its very sad. We need to improve in our rankings to get English work permits right?

[Tiresais]

Its very sad. We need to improve in our rankings to get English work permits right?

Yup, but we're 71st, so next rankings we should move into the magical 70

From Sam's list; USA have 17, Costa Rica have 13, Mexico have 19, Honduras have 18, Jamaica have 18, Panama have 14, Canada 28 and Trinidad and Tobago have 25 plus the added 10 Sam posted in his considered list.

I would say as far as making senior appearances, T&T has the second most players Under the age of 25 which puts us in a good situation.

We have such a big list and probably the only ones without a proper programme, therefore, we could be in for failure if things is fix soon as we have the time to build now.

Players like Jan Michael Williams and Kenwyne Jones should be made to fight for their place on this team.

But then reality sits in and when the next set of qualifiers comes around we looking for quick fixes and so on.

How can having one of the biggest pool of senior young players go from success to failure.

And I don't want to hear because most of the other Concacaf countries players are based in foreign clubs.

If we play the required about of preparation games against top teams we will surpass many.

Of course it is related to how many players play for foreign based clubs and not just any foreign based club like something from Vietnam or India, i'm talking quality clubs. It is directly proportional to talent. So yes, when some of these other players have men playing for European titles and we have guys playing in some random club in some random Asian country its a concern. The pro league might be better than some of these places. The only thing is they get more money. The fired Otto for saying this but is very true. We have you youth, we don't have the talent.

[Sam]

toonmili.

So which is better.

Playing for a foreign club as a none starter playing reserve games every month or playing every single week in the pro league, Vietnam or India first team.

We also have Glen is India.

And the league in Vietnam is better than you think, might even be better than local club from a overall standpoint.

[toonmili]

Obviously I mean we need players in Europe playing and starting or at least coming off the bench. It's a sign of quality. And by you saying that they won't make the first team in Europe is just evidence to point that we don't have the talent pool and sending them to Vietnam and India is not helping. I'm sure even MLS is better. At least they are closer so when they come back for international duty their legs aren't in another time zone.

Suriname is seriously discussing the idea of allowing duel nationals to play for the country. They cite Algeria as an example to follow.

[Sam]

Well, they need to also consider they should play all their WC games in CONMEBOL and not Concacaf, Guyana to.
