I dont think he's "on trial" as such. More likely that everything has been agreed, fee and wage etc. It'll be the work permit that needs sorting to finish it off. Club couldn't announce it without that.

He's clearly coming in, he's in portugal in full CCFC training gear.

Versatile players are fashionable atm and Robins has deployed out WBs in the box formation as well as WB. For example, Wilson-Esbrand, Maatsen and perhaps even Giles too all played on the left.

A trickier, more attacking minded WB could add a dimension to our playing style we currently don’t have.

It's a great option to have, because you've got an attacking wing back on the right for teams you want to push forward against, and you have someone who can cover the 10 role behind the forwards, and possibly even switch to the opposite flank.

Absolutely. I’d have reservations about his defensive capabilities being 5”7, but there was a clip of him being quite dogged in defence which is a sign he could be useful as a WB. If he’s left footed that would suggest he could play either side for us so that extra versatility will be valuable for us.

We ought to beef up with our central defenders though. Da Silva being 5”4 and Sakamoto being 5”7 could make us vulnerable from set-pieces.

Can you take a player on trial who's contracted to another club?

You can, I believe we did it with Denzel Slager/another Dutch striker Pressley took on trial way back when.

The telegraph article suggests we’re confirming the signing today after the paperwork is complete.

A team wouldn’t let us take one of their prized assets on a trial before a sale. One bad tackle or pulling up in training and they’re screwed. I’m not an ITK, but it’s obvious the deal is all but completed.

I don't think you give a player you're paying money for a trial.

We have new scouts. Who maybe want to test the water with players. Esp as we have a hit and miss with signing players from international leagues.

Pretty common for players to do turning/fitness before signing esp in off season.

I was pretty disengaged with supporting us at this stage because I was at Uni and we were shit…

Looking back, it’s satisfying that we’re that club that’s on the way up after going through the dark ages.

I remember going to watch us on a freezing cold and wet Tuesday night at Leyton Orient.

A 16 year old George Thomas started up front and Denzel Slager came off the bench. Think we lost 2-0.

Good lord that was grim.

Common usually when they are free agents. Cant imagine a team potentially selling a player for a million agreeing to a trial before they get the sale done

Wasn't Jordan Clarke played upfront in this game as well? We've come a long way!

'No Limit' by 2 Unlimited would make great tune for the players to walk out to at the CBS.

Not on this report

Reds let Harries return to Coventry

Harries joined the Reds on trial and played for the U23s against Bangor City

But could also have happened. so looks more common than we think

If you want to beleive its a trial thats fine but i would be amazed if Oostende had allowed him on trial before any transfer. Why risk injury to your most saleable asset befre the deal is confirmed?

I’d totally forgotten about Eccleston.

Just googled him – a striker who finished his career with 8 goals.

Prolific!

Ellery Cairo has been mentioned on here today, he was a real dangerous wide player wasn’t he 😂😂
