Not for UB40 Lotioners.....

[Delly's]

I am tired of the squabling, so let we use next years Gold Cup Qualification with only players from NPL and done the argument about UB40

[Peter R]

I second that... the JFF should have a maximum of two "imports" and dun... sink or swim with the home ballas.... why? if they adopt that policy, MAYBE, just maybe, they put a development programme in place, and all now dem should be doing a de-brief of this failed qualifying and putting in place a PLAN to be implemented as soon as possible (immediately) to qualify for 2018.

If they need money, other than beg govt. (whe any money "extra" tief areddi), start asking "friends" of Jamaican football to put their money where their mouth is. Start hold "bake sale" literally and figuratively speaking. I have a $200 US in a paypal account I would donate right now ...IF I felt that a concrete workable plan would be in place... but then they say a fool and his money are soon parted!

Woo-hoo!

Since such players are NOT available for long term prep... it is a ludicrous strategy to.hope to build an effective WCQ team around said mediocre foreigners

It's not robot science

Wrong, boss!
Your professional players, matters not where in the world they play, are always available for molding into TEAM.

It just boils down to how managed: number of assemblies, spacing of same, quality 'gelling' sessions=training together, playing of matches, bonding get-togethers; the necessary physical settings - fields and gyms, etc.; support staff=top quality coaches), other technical trainers e.g. physiotherapists, MDs, etc., etc.; and others.

Other countries do that 'gelling' of players...e.g. COMEBOL countries - Just about Brazil's entire 1st TEAM plays far away; Argentina, etc., etc.

It can be done. It is all about quality of management!!! In our case, the quality of our JFF leaders!!!

Disagree

All that boils down to time.... our last minute Snow Balla selectees do not devote a sufficient amount of their time for that

Other countries do that 'gelling' of players...e.g. COMEBOL countries - Just about Brazil's entire 1st TEAM plays far away; Argentina, etc., etc.

Yes...but those are players who came up through the ranks in their countries and are familiar with each other, have high level skills and have a settled playing style

None of those bonding factors is present with the last minute UB40s... that should be obvious by now

Apples & Oranges

It can be done. [B]It is all about quality of management!!! In our case, the quality of our JFF leaders!!!

Yes... the prime JFF mission is local football development... not WCQ in itself or importing mediocre foreigners for short cuts to achieve that

Time to get Job #1 done
