Tielemans63 Posted 7 June 2017 Share Posted 7 June 2017 Didn't we have Rod Fanni on trial the summer after we got promoted? Think most FT'ers were disappointed when that one didn't happen. Whether he could play or not should never have even been a consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep getting him mixed up with Dennis Wise as they're both c****. Could have signed him along with Barcelona's Umtiti and Mexican Fernando Arce and played some sexy football.

Basildon Fox Posted 9 June 2017 Share Posted 9 June 2017 Stewart Slater under O'Neil. Turned us down while we were in the Prem to sign for Watford in what is now The Championship as they were offering him a longer contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to watch him at Belvior Drive. Think he was in the same group at Paul Kitson and Baraclough. Definitely part of the youth team, may have even got a pro contract before we released him.

Rob1742 Posted 10 June 2017 Share Posted 10 June 2017 Another player we let go was Tony Thorpe. He played in the youth team and he was some player. For me he was the best of the crop at that time and I remember speaking to him just after the retained list was announced. I was really shocked (as he was) that he had been let go, but he told me he would be fine as David Pleat wanted him at Luton. Tony had a very good career at Luton, Bristol City and QPR most of them with decent transfer values. I spoke to Brian Little about it and he says it's a regret he has that he let him go. One of those situations where the player wanted first team football but we seemed okay with the squad we had so he was surplus to requirements. Also one of those situations where the focus was probably on the first team at the time so quick decisions made and he was one that got away. Good career, but as I watched him so many times in the youth team I really wanted to see him in the first team shirt, but at least he was okay in the end.

Tuna Posted 10 June 2017 Share Posted 10 June 2017 Dwight Tiendalli dutch left back was on trial autumn 2015, never found another club. Malcolm Christie think O'Neill had him on trial when he was at Nuneaton before he winded up at Derby. Zeus de la Paz Curacao (?) International goalie, was so shit ended up at Nuneaton. Jimmy Flloyd Hasselbaink (Not a trial obviously, but was due to sign until Allen pulled the plug). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 10 June 2017 Share Posted 10 June 2017 Bernard Parker the South African forward had a trial under Sven when he was at Twente, we could've had a right odd team under him but instead he signed Danns and Mills the stupid shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted 11 June 2017 Share Posted 11 June 2017 We had Dusan Basta on trial the same time that we signed Zsolt Laczko and Gabor Bori. Mandaric wasn't prepared to stump up a 6 figure sum for him though... went on to forge a good career as a right back for Udinese and Lazio.

Paul Brooker the winger from Brighton that we signed after winning promotion from the first division. Imagine having another transfer window like that one. This place would go into meltdown, I don't think we paid a transfer fee for anyone that summer did we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
