INVITATION TO JUSTIFY/LIBERIAN NATIONAL TEAM

This is a good idea! Let us hope that some of the players answer this invitation. The LFA needs to bear some cost for the amatuers. The kids in college. Anyway, I think this is a good start by the LFA. God Bless Lone Star!

I agree..That way we can get an idea of Youth team players also

I totally agree, this is a good idea.

great Idea...We can see the talant first hand that we can use in our youth program also

This is indeed a good idea-However it is again covered with poor planning and from a logistical standpoint it is a nightmare. It also has a negative implication on the squad that was field in the last couple of games, which I believe is a good squad with a couple of obvious changes. My take stick with this team for the last two games. In the first quarter of the next year set up regional trials sites (Europe, Liberia & US and Asia)

LFA/Lone Star Technical committee contact a survey.
Set up regional trials day/week (example USA regional trials in MN or DC area)
- All player currently residing in the states will report for trials
-Same applies to Player in europe and Asia

So not limit the trials/ recruitment process to the Senior National team. We should also look for U-17/u-21/u-23.
I know several talented Liberia kids that could be the future of Liberia......(see below) he is a perfect candidate for U-21/u/23.

Great idea but need better planning. I agree with Duport Rd. about setting up regional try-out; invitation to Monrovia maybe costly for international players, this may prevent some great talents from this process. Remember, it is the LFA seeking Liberian talents not the other way around. Since the leadership of the LFA is unpredictable let's wait and see.

I agree with you Duport Road, I like this reeginal try out business.

Those making the regional cut can be invited to Liberia to justify their inclusion. let us keep in mind this process is not intended to replace the current squad..I forsee maybe 7-10 player being invited to Liberia. At this point the coaching staff should be focusing on the last two games and not trying to recruit through this method. If they are looking to inject new players into the system there are couple of guys out there that need to be consider.

Nimely(Manchester City- Reserves),
David Gbimie (Bolton Wanderers 1st Team),
Willis Forko, Bodo Glimt (www.Glimt.no),
Alex Nimo (candidate of U-21 program)
Eddie Kingston (5 previous caps-out of favor by the past two coaching staff-Currently staring in the Jamaican permier league. Which i believe is on par with the South African premier league and most of the better African Leagues. Played in Croatia and Asia.
Chris Gbandi-Is a solid replacement from injured captain Murphy Nagbe. He currently plays in the Adecoleague Norway.(first Division)


Ansu Toure- A fun player to watch. I kid you not i have seen this kind live on several occassions. His club Atlanta Silverbacks played tree games against foriegn clubs touring the us he was a marked man. He is a left footer but plays right mid-field.
