Squad for pre-Gold Cup camp

[Me]

We could take both Tyrone and Peppe, but if we are playing two at the back it wouldn't make sense for both to start. Three at the back then I could see it working if Claude or Stew Peas is on the other side.

What does age have to do with anything? This is a major tournament that we can win (did not say will), we should take our best team...period. ..... if the younger players can't displace Pepe or Marshall on form and talent no game for them in the Gold Cup. Right now, I don't see anyone taking Pepe or Marshall's game.

I agree we can definitely win this tournament.

I think age becomes an issue during the really hot summer months here in the US. The heat and humidity is stifling and I am not convinced that players in their mid thirties are up to the task of playing multiple games in a short period of time under such circumstances. I could be wrong. We'll see. - T.K.

I can't argue with you at all on that.

If not Dane what do you think about bringing in Devor Orgill to get the experience? He is built like Richards and probably a bit more skillful. Could he spell Jamal Campbell Ryce in a couple of matches for his first taste of international ball? Or maybe bring back Hue and move Jermaine Johnson out wide? Or you could do a straight swap for Dane with Ryan Johnson afterall. He could sub for JCR. Or is there an NPL player I am not familiar with that should get the opportunity? I realize this was a karl-esque post with all the questions. lol - T.K.

My midfield would have Morrison, Austin, Edwards, Bibi, Demar, JJ, JCR and Khari. Tappa can figure out from there who he wants to play based on the formation. Both JJ and JCR can play on the right or he can move JJ to the middle if he would like.

As for the NPL, I don't see anyone apart from Richie Edwards who warrants a place in the squad for midfield. Had hopes for Cousins... Priestly I have not been impressed with since his Junior season at UCONN and even then I had reservations.
Jerry Walters is decent and could be a decent player with some improvement.

I am interested in the idea of taking Orgill to the GC although with Shelton, Fuller, Hodges, Cummings, King, Daley and Addlery available available it might be hard for him to get into the squad.

wouldn't Omar Cummings be a better option?

You can play JJ and JRC sametime or not, also remember Bibi and Phillips can be used as midfielder also.

Me good choice midfield, only Khari I think is having a hard time right now with the emergence of Austin, and Edwards.

2nd that. Good midfield picks all around Me. Those selections definitely would keep Richards out of the mix. - T.K.

I would be very surprised if Marlon King makes it to the Gold Cup.He is on bail,so dont think he will b allowed to leave the country.
