Why don’t you all stop annoying John bostock and nick de leon, can’t you see these fellers don’t want anything to do with us? and honestly I don’t think that they would bring anything special to the squad, BTW who’s place are they going to take? I don’t believe bostock is better than what we have in the midfield and certainly not jovin, telfer or levi, as for de Leon, IMO he cannot replace molino no day of the week, so what do we need the for?
Leave these people alone, you all sound like you’re begging now. let work with what we have until better could be done.
Recruitment is about multiple conversations, showing interest, updating about changes, informing, insisting and convincing.
You sound like you are using Rowley's Theory of Vaccine Acquisition: do not beg. Who is begging?
Only one way of finding out definitively. That is to bring dem.
I don't care whose place they take. Show me the sacred cow.
It's also not necessarily about replacing a presumptive starter. It is prospectively about replacing a substitute.
I hope i'm not being rude mate, but the british recruitment process makes me a tad angry at times. you see these british born players are heavily indoctrinated to play for england at a very tender age. they sit and dream of the day that they would be capped if only for one game, and it's not until their hopes are dashed or it becomes apparent that they don't have the quality to be an england international do they ever consider a second option.
take for instance raheem sterling, that man came to england as a lad already knowing somewhere else, yet when the chance arrived he turned down the country of his birth to represent the lions....jamaic who? and it's the same with all of them.
they walk the streets talking all this jamaican patios and calling themselves yardie even though they've never been to the caribbean, but when it comes to football all that west indian crap goes out the window, it's only the african blokes who turn down england to play for their parents country.
it boils my piss when blokes like bobby zamora and jay loyde who turned down an opportunity to go to a world cup and only because they thought england was a better option, and then we having to turn around and pacify them to join us, which makes me react in a negative way,
and even when bobby zamora had nothing else to play for he still refused to join us despite having a change of heart, the last being at fulham where clint dempsey convinced him that we were shit and he should never consider a call up from us, and not just him but hoyte and many other english lads who could have played for the parents country, but would only get on board when they are sure of not ever being capped for the three lions.
that is the only reason i said to forget these players and let them be, if they want to play for us then the door is open, their choice, but to go begging these 3rd division english brats is beneath us. i know as trinis we have way more pride than that, after all it's not only about football, it's about basic principles and dignity.
