Fez of Mahrez Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ley/6902524.stm Barnsley have taken teenage Leicester striker Alieu Jailow on trial - and he will join the Tykes on their pre-season trip to Portugal this week. The 19-year-old has come up through Leicester's youth ranks, and has been offered a professional contract by them - but has not yet signed it.
The People's Hero Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 I quite like the Tykes. They can have him. Good luck.

I was just trying to find an appropriate home for this story! Anyone know anything about him (I'm looking at you Thracian!)?
Manwell Pablo Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 I was just trying to find an appropriate home for this story! Anyone know anything about him (I'm looking at you Thracian!)? You should take note, he hasn't been mentioned in every post by Thraican that is over 4 lines so obviously he isn't that good. Thracians reply will probabley list all the things he does mildly well and put these down as his good points, Thracian will will then go on to say that he probabley isn't quite good enough to play for us on a regular basis. What this means in Thracian is, he's shit.
Micky Ruddle Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 IMO, i think a loan deal would be appropriate for him. Can't really let youngsters go even though we got a healthy squad size.
brookfox Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 He's probably just after a free holiday. Pre-season tour of Portugal vs friendly in Hinckley. Hmmm!
Ric Flair Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 It's a marketing ploy from Barnsley to get some more bums on seats because if Jailow signs for them, then Jay Rule is likely to get a season ticket. Yo get ready......

Thracian Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 I was just trying to find an appropriate home for this story! Anyone know anything about him (I'm looking at you Thracian!)? Sorry but there's not been a lot to see of him. He's had injuries and was a fringe player for the Academy making three appearances as a substitute in the Under 18 League and scoring once. People have said he's got ability but it's all hearsay to me. JonBlueFox might have seen him ocasionally.

Hope Simon Davey doesn't mind him stinking of Diesel on the plane over to Lisbon, could be a deal collapser.
Jay Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 IMO, i think a loan deal would be appropriate for him.Can't really let youngsters go even though we got a healthy squad size. did you actually read the first post or the link? he hasn't signed a contract and can go for free so you can't really loan someone who isn't yours!!
The People's Hero Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 did you actually read the first post or the link? he hasn't signed a contract and can go for free so you can't really loan someone who isn't yours!! That's not true. I'm willing to lend you my boss' stapler, for a small fee.
Manwell Pablo Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 did you actually read the first post or the link? he hasn't signed a contract and can go for free so you can't really loan someone who isn't yours!! If we've offered him a new deal we'll get a tribunal fee when he signs for someone else then. I think we've let him go. Which is what the orginal poster was getting at.
Blue Bob Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 Sorry but there's not been a lot to see of him.

People have said he's got ability but it's all hearsay to me. JonBlueFox might have seen him ocasionally. I wonder how their scouts got to see him if he hardly played. Unless they got him confused for someone else!!
General Smuts Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 I wonder how their scouts got to see him if he hardly played. Unless they got him confused for someone else!! Bobby Robson's not thier manager is he? Maybe he thought he was signing Louis Dodds?
Pete_foxes Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 He would be about 10th in the Pecking order of strikers anyway. Don't really need him. Good luck to the guy
Jonbluefox9 Posted 17 July 2007 Posted 17 July 2007 I didn't realise he was already 19. If he was 18 I would've said keep him for another season and see how he does at youth team level but if he's already 19 and had the injury problems that he has then it's probably best for him to move on.
Koke Posted 20 July 2007 Posted 20 July 2007 His name reminds me of the term Gigolo so in that respect, he's destined to become a club whore.
Flexx Posted 25 July 2007 Posted 25 July 2007 Just seen on SSN - Barnsley won't be offering a contract to Jailow after a trial at the club. If he can't get a contract there, then I don't think he will get a contract here somehow
Toby or not Toby Posted 25 July 2007 Posted 25 July 2007 Just seen on SSN - Barnsley won't be offering a contract to Jailow after a trial at the club. If he can't get a contract there, then I don't think he will get a contract here somehow Is he out of contract with us now?
mark1983 Posted 25 July 2007 Posted 25 July 2007 Is he out of contract with us now? apparently he was offered a contract here before he went on trial with them
Micky Ruddle Posted 25 July 2007 Posted 25 July 2007 did you actually read the first post or the link? he hasn't signed a contract and can go for free so you can't really loan someone who isn't yours!! Oh right yeah, didn't think of that.
