  • So does anyone know why this mystery striker didn't play as was said on here yesterday

    Wood played at the weekend. I know that because he missed a sitter ;)

    That's what made me think of him!

    He will get in goal scoring positions and just like Igor and George will miss a few. (score a few as well)

    I will need to read the rules on the loan market or maybe this is for the jan window.



  • De Melo's Dad just retweeted a fan.

    Yeah, 5 appearances and 0 goals for Evian.
    Also some previous controversy with agent and contracts according to Wikipedia.
    Is he Andy in disguise?

    Im dyslexic mate! Plus I rushed it don't take the piss! Normally I take care over my posts and read them twice
  • So there's no striker on trial and it was just a ruse to try and encourage people to watch the under 21 game ?

    I think it might have worked

    Yep sure have. In fact we grew up together and I wrote a song which was subsequently plagiarised by Simon and Garfunkel:

    Me And Tulio Down By The Schoolyard

    And I'm on my way
    To Valley Floyd Road
    I'm on my way, I'm taking my time
    But I don't know where
    Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
    See you, me and Tulio
    Down by the school yard

    Very much exists, very much on trial, very much trying to keep it a secret.

    Will most likely be on trial somewhere else next week and then somewhere else again the week after.
  • So we didn't play him because his name got leaked?

    Bit daft of Ketts if that's the case - it didn't take long to identify him from the clues

    Maybe not as simple as that.

    That he was on trial was going around at least as early as Friday but the club didn't want it out in public in case other clubs got wind of it. Also the player and his agent may not want it known that he "couldn't even get signed by Charlton".

    If he had played then one of the 30 odd scouts there yesterday would have spotted him and worked out who he was even if he was listed as "A. Trialistino".

    Up to Ketts and whoever his source is how much he passes on. He didn't name him but he gave out enough info for others to quickly work out who he was.
  • Whatever happened to a player being signed based on ability rather than "perception" or "spin"?

    Very much trying to keep it a secret by putting the entirety of the U21 game live to watch on official club website ?

    In which he didn't play and wasn't on the bench.
  • Whatever happened to a player being signed based on ability rather than "perception" or "spin"?

    As he is on trial, and the club haven't mentioned him at all, it would seem they are having a look at his ability/fitness etc and not engaging in any spin at all.
