Great post!

I cringe when I watch highlights of footballers on youtube that we are linked with, but Parker is actual quality. He has rapid pace and his left foot is lethal. The reason I know all of this is because I work with 2 South African's and live with one and all 3 love football and any sign of quality in their national team and they won't shut up about it and Parker is apparently on a par with Pienaar in the eyes of SA fans.

Ask them what the deal is with his elbow.

Don't know much about these 3, but Parker definitely sounds an exciting buy for our level.

Some people might complain about us having so many players come in on trial, but I think it's great and is a chance to discover a real gem!

Hopefully Parker will be that gem and will save us spending millions elsewhere

From stingers twitter:

#LCFC reserves drew 2-2 at Aston Villa today. Trialist Bernard Parker and Matt Fryatt scored the goals. Chris Powell says he's happy at City

Encouraging news all round by the sounds of it. Glad fryatt's bagging for the reserves at last.

Bernard Parker is, as others have said, potentially very exciting.

I'd have liked to have seen us go after his SA strike partner Katlego Mphela. From what I've seen, he's the better player, and he'd be excellent at this level.

I don't see why he shouldn't be effective at Premiership level either. I quite rate DJ in some ways but he's nowhere near as dangerous an all-round player as Parker looks. Those goals aren't all take-your-time goals, some have to be taken instantly, others required speed of thought to even turn them into shooting chances. Waist-high volleying with the ball just behind, near-post headers, fast-feet shots from different distances and angles - the bloke would get those sort of chances in the Premiership just as anywhere else. Had he been taking more touches to fashion a goal I might wonder but this bloke is a natural-born predator. And lethal with it.

Always important to be careful with Youtube though. What they haven't got on there is a collection of his worst misses. I'm assuming there have been some, given that he isn't a world superstar.

As I said though, this could be an interesting signing.
