Babylon Posted 15 November 2010 Posted 15 November 2010 From Stringer Leicester City have 3 trialists and all 3 will play in a reserve game tomorrow against Notts County. 1 keeper, 1 midfielder, 1 striker.
StanSP Posted 15 November 2010 Posted 15 November 2010 Pancrate as striker...? Is he still a trialist with us? No idea who the keeper and midfielder could be.
Babylon Posted 15 November 2010 Author Posted 15 November 2010 Pancrate as striker...? Is he still a trialist with us? No, we sent him packing. Not a fan of trialists myself, if the Thai guys are gonna back us as much as they make out then i'm not sure they are the answer. Because 99% of the time they haven't got a contract for a reason.
Guest shearfox Posted 15 November 2010 Posted 15 November 2010 Pancrate as striker...? Is he still a trialist with us? No idea who the keeper and midfielder could be. I heard Sven has decided against giving Pancrate a contract can't remember where.

Giving that the transfer window isn't open it's one of the best options and we don't really lose anything if they aren't good enough, while we could gain a good player if they do impress enough.
Liamlcfc1 Posted 15 November 2010 Posted 15 November 2010 Pirez maybe the goal keeper Joslain Mayebi just a guess
Ric Flair Posted 15 November 2010 Posted 15 November 2010 No, we sent him packing.

Definitely, the only time in this scenario that it may work is when they belong to another club and they are training with us with a view to a move in January. Like we did with the 2 Hungarians and that Slovenian lad who we never then signed who turned out to be mustard, Pecjnik or whatever his name was. But even then they tend not to work out. Isn't the Swedish season over soon? Might have a couple of them over for a gig.

The problem is they will most probably be wanting a contract longer than 6 months / a year. And... how many good trialists have we ever had? Agreed there is nothing wrong with having a look, they just very seldom ever work out.

Sven said in yesterdays swedish paper he has a big list with over 100 names and several of them are swedish.

bald reynard Posted 15 November 2010 Posted 15 November 2010 No, we sent him packing. Not a fan of trialists myself, if the Thai guys are gonna back us as much as they make out then i'm not sure they are the answer. Because 99% of the time they haven't got a contract for a season. I think Sven's resorting to trialists (they're mostly 'free agents', not under contract) because he's coming up to his limit in Loan players. He's only allowed 5 loaned players each match squad - and he'll often want to play 4 that we've currently got (Naughton, Davies, Cunningham & Vitor), that leaves only 1 more that he can sign and play. I think he's desperate to get a (big) striker in - Miller / Bednar / Santa Cruz / Roberts, all been mentioned - and if he does, that doesn't leave any room for another Loanee. I think he's still keen to get another keeper in (and get rid of Ikeme) - possibly in place of Weale. SO that means, for signings until January, he can only go for Free Agents (we know he's looked at Rensing and Pancrate). I guess (with 'no go' on those 2) he's considering other out-of-contract players. All guesswork on my part, I know ...... ?!

SMX11 Posted 15 November 2010 Posted 15 November 2010 Didin't know Tord Grip was working for us. I guess you can't seperate them though.
drc Posted 15 November 2010 Posted 15 November 2010 From what I heard he's not hired by the club. He works as a consultant to Sven. But I'm not sure exactly how it is. Anyway he is scouting for Leicester City.

I'd had that thought myself, as long as they are willing to accept a short contract then I don't mind as it's easy to get rid.
drc Posted 15 November 2010 Posted 15 November 2010 Tord is amazing he is 72 years old and are travelling all over the world watching football. He loves the game.
Liamlcfc1 Posted 15 November 2010 Posted 15 November 2010 Iam Led to belive that the midfielder on trial is Sam Williamson was at Man City when sven was in charge can also play left back
Babylon Posted 15 November 2010 Author Posted 15 November 2010 Iam Led to belive that the midfielder on trial is Sam Williamson was at Man City when sven was in charge can also play left back Wow... 2007–2009 Manchester City 1 (0) 2008–2009 → Wrexham (loan) 5 (0) 2009–2010 Wrexham 23 (0) 2010 → Fleetwood Town (loan) 4 (0)

Alf Bentley Posted 15 November 2010 Posted 15 November 2010 Sven's trying to build on the chilled atmosphere he's established within the squad. The 3 trialists are Dutch youth internationals from Sparta Schpliff, names of Winken, Blinken and Nodd.
