4 trialists in this afternoons U21 game

[LoughboroBlade]

I notice that the U21s lost at home today, so we shouldn't have to worry about any of the triallists not fitting in with the first team at least.

 

[WeltonBlade]

Well we lost - 0-1 - Uncle Ted Cribley an' all !

Depresssing

 

[SotonBlade]

Get the feeling Clifford will be signed. Gamble IMHO. He has casued trouble elsewhere

Where have you heard that Sotty?

 

[sheffielder]

So we are trialling a 33 year old Greek international. He will settle in well with Dad's Army.

Shoot me now Pike!

So he has caused problems elsewhere. Haven't we already got a model of this lad at the club called McFadzean. Might as well give our own trouble causer a start first.

I whole heartedly agree!

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

trials like these are the most pointless thing ever. you cant judge anybodies ability playing in the rain with a bunch of kids. the only way to see if a player is any good, is to have him around the first team for a while. if you think a player may have something to offer, sign him up even its just for a month at first. if you arent sure, then just dont bother. when has anybody ever had a trial then turned out to be messi??



Is that you Trevor?

McFadzean a trouble causer?

His brother had issues when at the club, but I've not heard of any issues with the younger McFad.

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

lol. think i was saying just sign them if theyre any good

From what i understand and not gospel, he behaves in the same way as his brother when he was at the club. I did see an interview with his bro saying that he keeps telling Callum to learn from his mistakes. I think that and his foot problem (not football related) may be the cause of problems of not getting into the team.

Some players like his older bro take time to mature, it's just what you do with them in the meantime I suppose.

 

[Bergen Blade]

I wouldn't imagine he's pacey, so seems pointless when we already have Kitson, Porter and Cresswell in that ilk!

And Ironside. Very surprised that we're looking to add a fifth target man.

 

[Silent Blade]

I know Matt Crooks (Huddersfield's scorer today) because his mum (went to same boarding school as me) is a friend of mine and I have played football against Matt's dad a few times in the 1980s (he played in the same team as me that won a tournament at Monchengladbach in 1983). Matt returned to Huddersfield after a loan spell at Radcliffe Borough and was one of the unused subs in Huddersfield's FA Cup match against Leicester

Its these guys automatic is ours

We could do worse than get a player like Kyle MacFadzean back in, his name is Kyle for a start, but he also looks a scrapper, he's probably got more fight in him that the rest of or mob! So if Callum is anything like him, get him in!

As for Charisteas, it's not long ago since he was playing for Greece. Quality player if I remember rightly.

 

[gavtheblade]

I take it that we can sign these players because they are un-attached are they not?
Would like to see Stavros at the lane,he`d be a different kettle of fish for us having a foreign un up front,and he`s a good pedigree.

 

[TarquinDelouche]

Absolutely. Charisteas has played for some proper clubs. If he's half as fit as he used to be, he's twice the player that we already have.

 

[Ashtonsmashton]

Probably this lot

Well that wouldn't change anything.

 

[Bergen Blade]

But it would be like having Simon Tracey, Paddy Kenny and Mel Rees as your goalkeepers, and then spending the rest of your money on Alan Kelly, although you only had Laurent d'Jaffo and Richard Cresswell up front.

Run that by me again bergs.... You've lost me.

 

[Bergen Blade]

We have four target men in the squad, but really need a quick goalgetter a la Miller.

Yet we are looking to add a fifth target man. He is probably a very good target man (if fit), but as we need other player types more we shouldn't be looking at him.

Perhaps it's more simple than that... Perhaps he brings experience and maybe goals, unlike Cresswell and porter.

Isn't Forte supposed to be our a la Miller

Well impressed Bergs. English and French - and fluent in both it seems.
Puts all the rest of us mugs with only one language to shame.
Most of us talk bollocks in our first (and only) language but now I see that you can be loquacious and eloquent in at least three
