AFTER SIX weeks of training and scouting across the region, Digicel Kick Start Clinics' head coach, John Barnes, yesterday selected eight Caribbean Under-20 footballers to take part in one week of training at Barclays Premier League side Sutherland.

Barnes made the announcement at a press conference at the Terra Nova Hotel yesterday, which was also attended by Austin 'Jack' Warner, president of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), Captain Horace Burrell, president of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), and Colm Delves, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Digicel Group.

Are the better Jamaican U 20 players available for this?
Are they involved in the Brazil tour or the HVFC cup tie?

Seba doesn't have talent. All the best youngsters go to either PMU or HVIEW. What's left over goes to Seba and other Rux teams.

Mi konfused now. Karl, Xcuse and other jokers on the forum run mi down bout abundance of talent in Jamaica. You telling me the the best talent deh a PMU and Hview. Wait .. is this the same PMU that played in the Red Stripe Cup final? (if a suh it name).

Anyway, how many players deh pon PMU and HView roster? If a only the 2 teams have all the talent ... then you just prove that there is NO abundance of talent.

Whey di 25 Freddy deh? Smaddy call Shatta fi me.
