Doumbe Decision

[Bladesman]

Blades boss Bryan Robson has confirmed that United will not be offering a contract to trialist defender Jean-Joel Perrier-Doumbe.

The Cameroon international defender played the full 90 minutes of the Blades' 2-0 pre-season friendly win at Alfreton on Tuesday night.

Robson said: "We have decided not to keep Jean-Joel.

"I'd like to thank him for spending time with us and he has done pretty well since he's been here but, on reflection, I don't think he's exactly the type of player we're looking for. We wish him well."

Paris-born Perrier-Doumbe, 28, is available on a free transfer after seeing out his contract at French club Rennes.

Looks like Doumbe wont be staying then.

its properly for the best really, we've got more than capable people at right back

Have to say that this comes as a surprise following the positive comments over the past week or so.

To be fair, we don't need another right back so i'm happy with the decision; it just seems to fly in the face of what we have been hearing all week.

Perhaps we need his potential wages to put towards Tommy Grav's gargantuan salary

Any news on the other two new kids who played this week - GK and midfield?
