ThiKu Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 @Ryan - I don't propose selecting REB ahead of any of the selected forward players, but rather ahead of one of the defenders (cough cough, Ledgerwood, cough cough). I mean honestly, what do we need more? A workman defender on the bench of a potential match winner who just may be the fastest lad in Concacaf??

You may think differently when a defensive player goes down with injury in training. I think a sixth forward and an eighth attacking player may be a little much, especially when we only have three defensive subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 ^we have Hutch who can slide into the back in an "emergency." We also have 3 left backs in camp...only 2 are needed. Our back line has a lot of versatility as well. Kluka (LB-RB-CB) Jazic/Morgan (LB) Edgar (CB-RB) McKenna (CB) Ledgerwood (RB/DM) Hainault (RB-CB) did I miss anyone off top of my head? Hutch can play RB, and I imagine Johnson could if needed. Rather put one of those two at the back in emerg and have REB on the bench than Ledgerwood on the bench. Gotta take some risk to win!

Lord Bob Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Wait, Randy Edwini-Bonsu is disappointed and angry that he wasn't asked to play for Canada and we're taking that as a bad sign?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because we have Hutch though, doesn't mean we want to tempt fate. It's still best to avoid having to move him back at all. I'll be first to say I haven't been impressed with Ledgerwood whatsoever. I think Straith is a far better option, but to say we ought to drop a defender for a forward in an already attack-oriented camp just seems irresponsible.

theaub Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) I found the next post funny: As for Hoilett, I have long said that people who know his father have said that the old man is wary of his son playing for JA, if only because of the corrupt and inept JFF. But we will see. I think that sounds familiar, just with a different soccer association. Jamaica looks mighty impressive though if they can get those guys out there. e: that thread is absolute gold.

villus Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Those Jamaica callups if true are a pretty big boost for their program tbh. Lets hope this rumor of Junior suiting up for Canada is true, would be an awesome boost for us right before WCQ begins. Hopefully he signs a new deal with someone soon and can commit to us and give his all, would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaican supporters seem to think Canada is about on par with Tahiti in world soccer and Jamaica is a regional power constantly on the cusp of greatness. Trying to talk to their supporters is like talking to a wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarrius Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hopefully this is all true, but what exactly makes everybody think Hoilett will now commit to Canada? What source is everyone basing this off? :/ Oh, who am I kidding, I don't care. Just the talk of Hoilett committing to Canada makes me all giddy.

Keegan Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 We might be the easiest people to troll in the world, I mean all you would have to do is create an account say you know someone and say that so and so is ready to play for Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
