Transfer Rumour Trialist in U21 game (4 Viewers)

[rexo87]

Someone on twitter has suggested it’s Helder Costa. Think it’s probably bollocks but if anyone’s there can they let us know so we can make this the shortest thread of all time

Whoever the Trialist is it certainly sounds like they are having a cracking game.

If the trialist is basically an unknow in the footballing world, then why call them "trialist" on the Twitter feed when posting about goals, etc? Or is that pretty standard for the person updating the feed to not know the names?

Because he's on trial....

 

[David O'Day]

I heard it's an Italian left back from Spurs

Most human beings have names dumbass. And likely the club knows what it is.

Has always been the same on Twitter when we have had Trialist playing and they are involved in the game somehow. Most of the time you'll never find out who they were.

Helder Costa declined his inclusion in Angola's final 23-man squad for next month's AFCON in Cote d' Ivoire, given that he is not in form. "I am not in good shape this season, I prefer to leave my place to a competitive player." Helder says.

Sounds like just what we need!

Is it the Czech left back Franz Kafka who metamorphosised into an attacking left sided CM?

It's a standard footie thing as far as I know, seen it on Soccer Saturday on the score ticker loads of times.

It's in the clubs interest to keep trialist players identities under wraps, why alert other clubs to players we might be interested in

 

[Robinshio]

there are 2 triallists today

Haha Only joking mate! Yeah of course they would know i just don't think they want anyone knowing they're trialing! could be a player decision too

Thinking about it I imagine trialists aren't keen to be named either as who would want to be known as a failed trialist if it doesn't work out?

A 3 and a 9 if numbers these days can be linked at all to where someone plays!

 

[ptr]

Pretty sure it’s Sunil Chetri.

Doesn't usually mean anything at this level

I watched a mixed under 18/21 game a week or so ago and there were trialists of lads one was really good, big, powerful. about 18/19 there will be games with trialists in all the time now hopefully we pick up another Vik, either of them.

I think there might be protocols to follow.

Julian Gray apparently

 

[skybluecam]

sign him up

 

[JSL]

Is it allowed to sign trialists out of the transfer windows?

 

[tom88]

Orlando Smeekes apparently
Dutch winger

 

[David O'Day]

Depends on when they became a free agent, if it was before the window shut then yes

Also remember though a lot of trialists this time of year at the level are players at other clubs who know their contract isn't being renewed so they start with the clubs permission looking for a club to join at the end of that season

I doubt it as hes 41 and retired

Trialist scored and hit the post

 

[SkyblueDad]

I think so as they are unemployed.

 

[long way home]

Trialist are normally recommended or on a list of players the club have already identified. Most come to nothing and the club lose nothing by doing it.

If it’s the one I seen he’s a bloody good player.

 

[Astute]

You're allowed to sign someone who doesn't have a contract. The rule got changed to this once there was uproar that anyone unemployed can't get a job.

 

[Diogenes]

Because he's on trial....

Don't think the judge will be too pleased.

 

[djr8369]

Isn’t there a trialist or three most weeks?

Loads of young players in premier league academies will have been released in the last window. They don't show up as free agents though, probably because most of them won't have been on pro terms.
