powerof11 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 In an interview in which Hoilett displayed a humble appreciation for the opportunities and support that have allowed his career to flourish, he also continuously expressed his singular desire and focus towards continuing to develop into the best player that he can be. Rednation Online and David discuss his experiences playing in England and Germany, his current campaign with Blackburn Rovers and some of his thoughts on Canadian soccer. http://www.rednationonline.ca/Rednation_Speaks_with_David_Junior_Hoilett_dec_14_09_feature.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Does he have the same agent as JDG2? Those answers sound familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFCRegina Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Let's not hate until he actually doesn't play for us guys? It's hard to come to a side where the supporters are constantly hating on non-decision. Encourage him to come, don't hate because he hasn't yet.

Soju Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Can someone refresh me on his options is this a Canada vs. Jamaica question? If yes I would think representing Canada is a no brainer based on recent head to head performances with Jamaica and the new hope and direction the sport has taken in Canada professionally. Is there another country he could represent, could he be holding on for a future England call up JDG2 style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I think he is going to play for us eventually, why would he rush to get capped now we have nothing important going on at this stage? As he stated, he wants to keep learning everyday in training, which he can't do when he's away with the national team. Canada will be there when he is ready, perhaps at (or leading up to) gold cup 2011 he get his first cap. He will hopefully have 2 EPL seasons behind him by then. I wouldn't hit the panic button until I hear he has plans to apply for UK passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJames Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Just a blurb in the Sun after the weekends matches... Blackburn winger Junior Hoilett, 19, provided the only other highlights. The Canadian whizkid, who made his full league debut here, gave the hosts a torrid time and looks a future star.

redhat Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Good interview. There's nothing in the article that suggests that David is leaning to Jamaica or England on the international level, but rather just concentrating on his club career. Instead the article presents a positive experience while wearing the Canadian jersey during his early years, so I wouldn't worry too much about his choices until something definitive is declared.

BrennanFan Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 wow you really *****footed around the one issue that matters. is he in contact with the jamaican FA? is he considering jamaica? would he consider any other options outside canada and jamaica? how many times has he turned down a canada cap? why does his dad still hate the OSA/CSA over something that happened years ago? how would attending a camp or a friendly for canada affect his 'role' with blackburn? does he feel canadian? does he want to help canada get to a world cup or not? does he only care about making a buck off of football? does he have any pride in his country's football at all?

SeanKeay Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I figure that the opening blurb at the start meant that he really didn't want to talk about his national alliance yet. Its tough when you are just a blogger trying to hammer out answers, you have to be really nice or the guy just walks off and you are f'ed without an interview.

Footscray Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Good on you guys for getting the interview with him. Not overly optimistic about him playing for Canada which is disappointing, but I can also understand if he doesn't want to have anything to do with the international scene right now given where his club career is at and the potential benefit of playing friendlies in Moldova or wherever the nats went this fall.

SouthAfricaOrBust Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I don't think I could carry on with life if he chooses Jamaica. But hey, that's cool, we have Terry Dunfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibby Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Just wanna say you guys at Red Nation Online are doing a bang up job, it's turning out to be quite a site. Also it feels like there is about 10x the information out there about Canadian football, then just 2 years ago. All the blogs and sites, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 So he is eligible for us, Jamaica, and England (but that requires a passport still, yes?), so between us and Jamaica I don't see why he wouldn't choose us. He's been in our program, and hopefully Hart will be able to come through on his attempts at convincing players they are needed in our red and white.

Guest Ed Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I also think you are doing a terrific job. Regarding young Mr Hoilett, I suspect Stephen Hart can more easily talk to him man to man than any previous Cdn coach. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razcle Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 ^ Stephen Hart had a shot to get Asmir on board and couldn't get it done. As nice as it would be to see Hoilet get capped, I just hope not the disappointment is not as large as JDG2 if he decides elsewhere. Good work RedNation on the Site as well.

canucklefan Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hoilett words are like JDG2's. His answers are so evasive that I get the feeling he decided a long time ago that he doesn't intend to choose to play for us. By the way, I must say my thanks to you guys from RedNation, you are doing a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
