Chubbychops Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Looked good in training so far apparently, but will be a pretty much unknown quantity. None of our management have seen him play in a competitive match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Yasss, this is the sort of rumours I want to be hearing. Love an unknown foreign player coming in.It does excite people(including me!) I have probably forgotten someone, but have any of these signings come from anywhere but France recently? D'angelo springs to mind but he barely kicked a ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Disappointing that the nurses at kiddy's care home are still allowing him so much time online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I thought the guy we had up at the start of the season looked pretty handy, don't know if it ever came out who he was but looked a tidy finished. I do love an unknown player from the continent. Moroccan Prince up front with the Prague Prince and King Craw on the touch line 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forzapars Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Here was the last unknown striker we brought in for a trial - Filip Duris.Reminder: this game (against Partick Thistle at the beginning of 2017/18) was the same game in which we had Lawrence Shankland, Cameron King and Michael Coulson on trial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shankland trial always riles me. Aw let's play him left midfield, great idea. Then spunk money on Andy Ryan later in the Summer. Unreal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Pretty sure quite a few clubs passed on Shankland. He was at the time a guy who had not impressed on loan at a number of clubs and had a noted lazy attitude towards fitness. It was only when he joined Ayr and got a massive kick up the arse and realised he was juniors bound (stuff he's actually said himself) that he turned it around. In hindsight it's easy to say a big mistake was made on not signing him, but it just isn't true. Had we signed him there's no guarantee that he would have turned it around like he did. He could have been a bit of a waster and been released at the end of the season. If he got a Championship club he might not have had the epiphany he did when they all passed on him and he had to sign for a League 1 club. He might have but it is definitely not a certain thing. Even Derek McInnes said it was the right decision to release him in 2017. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 There's a reserve game today against St Mirren, perfect opportunity for any trialists to show what they can do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
