    The answer might be a very simple one (forgive my ignorance) - but why do some players have trials and others are just signed up?
    Dozens of reasons. 

    Sometimes they aren't really on trial the club are doing them a favour in letting them train and they help make up the numbers in preseason.

    You can't "know" every player.  You need a center back, agents suggest their clients, they come down for a weeks training, play a game or to, you might be impressed, you might not.

    You get a "gem" released/couldn't agree a new deal by someone's academy their agent will tout them around, see the lad form Millwall.  Who has more trials than Ronnie Kray.

    Cawley.

    Who says he is? 
    Cawley was not talking about Edwards but the two Cardiff players linked to us …. 
    Which 2 Cardiff players?  Do you mean Sol Bamber and Mendez-Lang?

    If so the first one has left Cardiff and moved back to Leeds.  I actually spoke to him recently, he isn't moving house again.  Might do a player coach role at Boro.

    Mendez-Lang left Cardiff as the result of a failed drug test and has since played for Boro as well. 

    Or is it two other Cardiff players we have been linked with?  Like ones from Cardiff?

    “Have a pal in the youth setup” were the words used.

    Gomes and Edwards are both on trial/training...
    This chap is credible I believe i.e. Dobson signing. I’d just sign Edwards but it’ll depend if he is willing to drop wages and down a league.

    I wonder if Edwards is one of these that's now realising he might not get a Championship club.

    You’d hope that seeing that he’s here then a deal must be workable. Fingers crossed.

    Just those 2, also been told that Adkins is a big fan of deji and could potentially be our 4th CB
    Been saying this a few times, think he looks more than up to it. Strengthen elsewhere first - CB last signing if needed and have budget.

    Would we have to pay any compensation for Edwards?

    Just those Gomes more then likely thoigh, also been told that Adkins is a big fan of deji and could potentially be our 4th CB
    He’s a good talent but with Inniss injury record that would make me very nervous if he had to play 20+ games this season.

    Only if West Brom had offered a contract which he'd turned down.

    Because they've released him, they get nadda - Its why we offered that very token contract to Fosu at the end of 2019

    Big gamble if Inniss is out of a while (not unlikely) and Deji has a few bad games - would put huge pressure on him to turn it around.

    If we sign a CB then Deji can develop without pressure by getting a few cup games and eased in more gently into league games.

    It would be a bit different if he was a young winger who could make appearances off the bench.

    Especially as our 3rd choice CB is a left footer, so not an ideal partner for Famewo.
