      I respectfully disagree G. I think with the english pound as strong as it is, a large contingent of Jamaican professional players already in england, england being the national team's home away from home, and his strengths as a player fitting perfectly in the English game how can he go wrong? I thinkhe is focusing on the right league.

      As for being relegated it is a strong possibility considering Sheffields standing in the league right now. Inthe worst case scenarioof playing D1 I think even then Luton would be better offthen in Sweden. - T.K.

              I don't see anything wrong with that once he has options. He is already in a foreign culture and has probably decided that he wants to be somewhere where he will bemore comfortable. The language thing alone is a big thing for many people.

              Is sameway most of the Argentinian players only want to go to Spain.

              If he was in the NPL and desperate to get into professional football, I am sure he would be open tojust about anywhere(like how he ended up in Sweden).

                <P class=StoryText align=justify>I don't think Luton is the one who is limiting himself. Afterall, I'm sure it's his agent who is making most of the decisions. I know Luton is concerned about Sheffield being relegated.

                  In his case I can understand. He is already in a professional team and is settled well at the club; no sense in leaving for unfamiliar turf in terms of language barrier etc. But if he has to leave, let it be England.

                  By the same token though, I think Jamaican players need to widen their options when thinking of playing professionally. England is not the only league in the world. Yes, it might be the most favourable to Jamaicans given our connections there and the language but other areas are also attractive.

                  TnT's Dwight Yorke and our own Damani Ralph have shown that there is life outside of England. Nice to see a handful of our players in Sweden but consideration must be given to Mexico, Spain, France, Italy, Japan and even China to rhatid! (Leyton Orient anyone?) Good morning HL

                          I know you said it as a joke but I have to admit when I was watching the Man U and Chelsea game and the score was tied at 1. Man U was clearly going for the full three points and not content with the 1-all scoreline........Chelseatakes off Ballack and subs in Robben.......Chelsea takes off Sheva andsubs inCoel.....compare now......after those changes just to keep pace......Sir Alex had to sub out an injuredRonaldo....he brought Fletcher in.....then he had to sub out Rooney......he brought O'Shea in.......

                          You know what crossed my mind at that moment?.....I said to myself.....you know what....Luton Shelton, at this point in the match,wouldbe a better sub than either O'Shea or Fletcher. - T.K.

                            mi a tease Lazie this morning but them saw Walcott fast but Shelton look fast like a 40 thieves to to me.

                            He leaves people standing. With Carrick and Rio whipping one and two over the top and a little Fergie touch he would be deadly inna them instances there.
