Someone on fmttm seems to think he’s over 27 year old international No 10 type player The mixed race lad with his hair tied up is still unnamed he looks like a defensive midfielder if anything from the pictures, the problem is data on U23 players status with clubs is murky and not easily searchable unless @Smogzilla can somehow find him but the other 2 1s a non league loanee from Chesterfield and the other a Reading U23 CB no real connection between them so it would take alot of sleuthing to find who the third trialist is.

CWC 383 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 As I’ve said, one that I know for a fact is on trial is Levi Amanatchi. He was on loan at Blyth Spartans last year and was released from Chesterfield because of attitude problems. Can’t really disclose how I know but I’m guessing it would have been him on the scoresheet as he is a striker. Link to post Share on other sites

Our recruitment appears to lurch from bad to worse and the width and creativity sorely needed still hasn’t been addressed. We are skint unless you are a relation of SG and having flicked through this site I have to be honest I have not heard of a single person we have supposedly been linked with. Oh well at least Warnock is an upgrade on that con artist Pulis who is no doubt enjoying spending the money he robbed off us, good decision SG, you were warned. I also hear that Changing Times is a new friendlier compassionate person, we will see as the season progresses Welcome back @pikerman I’m not buying the New Zealand story, I’d say jail is the truth 😂 You actually missed out on a manager that made people realise that Pulis was actually good at what he does. But I’ll let the screws tell you the rest of the story 🤣🤣🤣 Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting if it his him though Link to post Share on other sites
Hewie 94 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I haven’t seen the photo tbf. He is pretty.... bland looking. Probably a harsh description. Dark hair, olive skin. I’ve seen him play maybe once or twice only.... maybe in turkey? Doesn’t ring any bells as a player that impressed me though, the name is just one that has stuck in my head for some odd reason. Probably football manager or something. Lol Link to post Share on other sites

That lad from Sunderland Cole Kiernan bagged a couple sounds decent already Jones set up a few as well with Balde/Gibson coming through might be a good time to get Jones and Folarin out on loan if we can get them some experience see how they cope in League Two. Out on loan? you lot were moaning and bitching we haven't got enough body's Have we signed some under the radar? or summat Link to post Share on other sites
