Why’s it taken so bloody long? Has he been on trial this entire time? Wonder what his alibi is…

Very odd, thought he looked a decent prospect Vs Gloucester, handled Leon Clarke easy enough. very phisical but needed a lot of guidance from the keeper as where to be.

It was something to do with his age and he’s Irish and the result of brexit. For the original keeping him as a trialist. Pretty sure he was only able to play friendlies as well.

Yep. Can be no excuses if he doesn’t perform.

Yeah he was announced ages ago. Not sure the reason for the delay, but does it matter? They wanted him and he signed. Don't think we are in a rush to put him in the first team (queue him starting against Sheffield United)

Yes it’s the same player there has clearly been a lot of difficulty with it

Has he just turned 18 today? I assume we can only just announce it. Hopefully see him turn out for the U23s in competitive matches now.

He is going to be with the u18s for the rest of the season then move to the u23s next year.

Just a case of fucking Bright off to free up cash to sign Alibi I reckon.

Interview with him on ccfc website. Sounds like he hasn't played in 6 months, presumably just trained every day. Could we not bend the rules and have him play as a trialist?

Coventry City's January signing Alabi makes first start for U23s

The strapping teenager joined the Sky Blues in January, starting with the Under-18s but has already progressed to the development squad ahead of schedule

Random, not sure what’s gone on here, on the clubs site but not tweeted about it:

NEWS: Abel Alabi leaves Coventry City

Coventry City can confirm that Under 21s defender Abel Alabi has left the Club.

I noticed Malaki Reeve has also been removed from the U21 page.

Did wonder why he didn't feature in any pre season matches, even when we were playing midfielders a Centre Back. Mind you, Di Trollo hasn't either, or Rus.

You're right, surely it was worth sticking Di Trolio in the first few friendlies?

From what I heard, apparently Able walked out when he wasn't selected to start in the Birmingham Cup final last season and was sacked.

Di Trollio went to Portugal and performed well by all accounts but then hasn't been seen at all since the squad came back. I assumed he had gone out on loan but it's odd the club haven't said anything. Rus as far as I can tell signed a new contract before Portugal but then didn't go on the trip and hasn't been around since either. Both are quite rated so it's really odd.

Possibly off on loan and training elsewhere but not fully signed off and official?

I guess so but just seems a long time now with no news. Felt the club made a really big deal out of Rus's new contract as well so really expected to see him about in pre-season. It's just a bit odd
