Aiden White hasn't had a club for 18 months
Standard Charlton signing that2 -
That's why he's on trial with us. Will be cheap.paulie8290 said:
According to wiki White is 27 and hasnt played a game since his loan move to Barnsley in the 15/16 seasonRedhenry said:Aiden White on trial LB, Potentially new GK, number 10. Also looking for frees and players clubs needing to move out of contract.
So over 2 years with no football
Assume he was the trialist from Monday.

I am sorry but we are looking to get promoted, do we really want someone who hasnt played football or even had a team for 18 monthsHenry Irving said:

We're actually in the top three for chances created in the division this season.ForeverAddickted said:But then Eaves is taking a big step up from his current club regardless
He's probably got three choices
(1) He goes to a struggling Championship club, that club is likely to be struggling because they cant create chances let alone score them so may well struggle himself to make an impact - Regardless he may find himself back in League One next year if that side gets relegated
If Eaves can put them away.....2 -

Unfortunately our owner means we have to shop in the reduced pile in Poundland - Guess the trial will be to prove he's over whatever injuries have kept him out for so long and then will play second fiddle to Lewis Page when he returnspaulie8290 said:

Just cherrish the fact that there is an ACTUAL rumour about us signing someone as it wont happen much between now and February7 -

Depends on how good he is, that's why he's on trial.paulie8290 said:

If Page is fit (big "if" I know) then White is good cover, cheap and won't be expecting to walk into the first team.
Is it ideal? No, of course not but he hasn't signed, he's just on trial and this is Roland world where we have to make do and mend.7 -
Not sure how true but seen on twitter that White was on trial with Bradford in early December and they decided not to offer him a deal.
Bradford 22nd league who have Adam Chicksen as LB.
Yes to everyone above that says its only a trial I understand that.
But forgive me for thinking that a side chasing promotion to the 2nd tier should be looking for someone better than someone who hasnt had a club for 18 months3 - Sponsored links:

So surprise surprise, Roland is not going to spend in order to help the promotion push.0
-
We will get another young Arsenal loanee in given the success of Beilik.
Bowyer/Gallen mentioned they had their eye on a couple at a Bromley meeting iirc2 -

I guess its one of a few things for Bowyer and Charltonpaulie8290 said:Not sure how true but seen on twitter that White was on trial with Bradford in early December and they decided not to offer him a deal.

(1) Not many trialists end up signing for us so White is probably another of those
(2) If he can prove he's over his injuries he may be a good option as backup, has barely cost anything so allows Bowyer to go after additional targets which'll strengthen our squad even further as ideally we need as many bodies as possible
(3) He may not even be a priority signing as Left-Back and Gallen / Bowyer are currently looking for a loan signing from a Premier League club yet worst case scenario we cant get anyone in because Roland is tighter than a Nun so have to resort to bringing in a freebie like this2 -
I’d love to know how many people on here passing judgement on Aiden White have actually seen the lad play, let alone on a regular basis.
I have as my Dad is a Leeds supporter and he was promising for them. Yes, long time ago, but maybe he needs to try and find a new home and rebuild his career. It’s worth a look and a trial and if he proves fitness, there is no issue.20 -

Remember White at Leeds as a youngster, good player and very very quick. Probably more of an attacking full back than Page. Be good cover if he is over his injury issues.4

Sample size of two Leeds fans on White:
'Quick, but can't defend for sh!t.'
'Lightweight. Great engine.'
Edit: I remember being a decent player who hasn't lived up to his potential and injuries have played their part there.0 -
Bowyers Leeds connection coming into play?0

No harm in looking . Interesting that his career has solely been at northern clubs
Maybe he wants to keep his options open . Charlton would be more attractive than Bradford at the moment
This was a debate on the Bradford Forum about him.

Bowyer has said that they are looking all over for a left back including the EPL, Championship and abroad. This is just one guy who's on trial. Having a look does us no harm.3 -

"I've found some nice comments from Barnsley Fans Forum about White:
"Yeah he's not worth the risk with his injury record. If he could play 40 plus games a season, he would be a starter for a top half championship club."
"Agreed. He's more pace than any of our current full backs. He would run down the side, pass to Hammill, overlap waiting for the return pass, then whip a ball in to the box. Our current full backs aren't yet up for doing that."
"Gutted for him that he’s so injury prone. Nice lad who deserves better luck. Whether it’s with us or someone else I hope he gets back to full fitness."
"No one in League One could cope with his partnership with Hammill down that left wing"
"Yeah think the club have been letting him train here, which is a really nice gesture. Was always excellent for us but sadly injuries have brought is Career to a halt"
Sounds like an exciting prospect if we can keep him injury free."
Sounds like he has been training with Barnsley at least. Good player when fit6 -
what's JDS up to? did his loan at Bristol yeild games ?0
-
See how he gets on, as ever we aren't exactly full of options so if he can prove fitness why the hell not! I like the fact he has pace , so hopefully will be able to get forward and would suit playing wing backs. Good luck to him if we cant get anyone better0

You can take someone on trial while continuing to work on bringing in your first/second choices.paulie8290 said:Not sure how true but seen on twitter that White was on trial with Bradford in early December and they decided not to offer him a deal.

We had a few players on trial in the summer who might have signed had we not been able to bring in the likes of Cullen and Bielik.1 -

Not trying to defend him, but he has spent decent money in his time here. Just not spent it very wisely. Reported £2m+ on Sarr, similar on Vetokele, reasonably large loan fee for Makienok, plus big wages.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I'm also of the feeling that this is low risk, high reward. We can't sign anyone until Jan 1, and even then transfers at our level rarely go through that quickly, so it could be up to six weeks before we can get a loan in. I think giving White a chance between now and then makes a lot of sense, especially with Page out injured.
I also think that the fact of the matter is if a decent quality player is going to come to us then there is going to be some sort of catch. And that's not just a Roland thing, though he makes it far worse obviously, that's a League One thing. So in order to get good players capable of playing at the high end of this league and ideally the Championship, there are going to be trade offs.1
