Why are we digging up players from all over the place to come and represent us?if these know they have Trini blood or what ever you want to call it,it's their right to want to play for us,why are we begging these guys or going and look for them,i was fortunate to have played for T&T at a time when there were no foreign players on the team,and i can tell you if i am around as a player in the situation as it is today i would quit,it's not encourageing for any local player to do their best, they not going to make it why make the effort.
I understand both sides of the Latapy issue and i can assure you there are a lot of footballers in our country wish they could stand up talk the way Latapy,Yorke,Nakid and Shaka can but they are too small,you can't play with your heart when you are not appreciated,try having personal interviews with some of these players and you will realize what i'm talking about,no one will walk away from a good thing there are reasons for what ever goes on.
Marlon Morris have a little book he wrote on the history of the Strike Squad,i don't how many of you have read it but it tells you everything that went on with that team from day to day,the good and the bad,what they should have done to what they should not have,there are a lot of lessons we suppose to have learned but we are just repeating the same mistakes.
