GboroRam Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I remember quite liking Trevor Cherry when I was about 8. Wonder if he's still alive? Sign him up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Clough isn’t an idiot. He knows what the reaction would be to playing a 35 year old “retired footballer†as a replacement for our top scorer Maybe he’s trying to make a point?

EdinburghRam Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Being forced to offer the likes of Boulding a trial with a view to a contract just shows how low our once great club has gone. Sorry where does it say anything about him maybe being offered a contract? He's played one game for the reserves and people are already thinking he's a cert to sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothernRam Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'm not worried about Boulding anymore. Clough said: "If they are not in a Championship 18, are they better than Steve Davies, Chris Porter, Alberto Bueno or Tomasz Cywka? That is the dilemma. so he shouldn't sign him how... isn't he?

Ambitious Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Why is he even out our club? it's embarrasing, aswell as having your fitness coach play right back for the reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it - you can't mess around with people's careers like that just to play politics. Given Nigel's increasingly irrational behaviour, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if this bloke signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghRam Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 why have him trial and play in a reserve game if the club isn't interested in signing him? a favour, get the guy some fitness and let our younger players off his experience. it's just the reserves.

Day Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Free agents often go round clubs training and playing a few reserve games, still slightly unnerving that he is with us now when we are in the hunt for new strikers. I won't push the panic button unless I see him on the official site holding up a Derby shirt with the number 9 on the back. We've had loads of trialists at the club since Nigel has been here, Mark Randall from Arsenal was one deemed not good enough for us, more recently Josh O'Keefe, Morgan-Smith and now I'm struggling but we have had a few.

Day Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 it's fact that more often than not these trailist look increasingly desperate which is worrying. It's only worrying if we sign them. I haven't woke up in the middle of the night to a Boulding nightmare yet, if he signs I may well do but what's the point in worrying about something that might never happen?

He's played one game for the reserves and people are already thinking he's a cert to sign I said "a trial with a view to a contract". Would you really take someone on trial if you had absolutely no intention of offering them a contract? Now that really would constitute a complete waste of time don't you think?! Don't mix words.

Would you really take someone on trial if you had absolutely no intention of offering them a contract? Now that really would constitute a complete waste of time don't you think?! Don't mix words. We have had trialists at the club throughout last summer and a fair few who were tried out during the Autumn as well. Not one of them was offered a deal here. He is probably faster than Porter and vastly more experienced than Doyle. Benny McCarthy is probably on massive wages and twice the weight of Boulding and half as fast. Boulding probably again offered to play for free. Porter and Davies are massive risks as they are virtually uninsurable. Think Nigel just needs to keep looking around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue lies with the quality of player we are trialling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimacked Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 If he is not good enough he won't have a chance of a contract. If he signs one. He will be on pay as you play or play for free to earn a contract. Clough has proved us wrong with Dickov. He proved us wrong with Kuqi. Who knows. Would be better if he was some unknown youth player from Mexico, people would be getting all excited then. Think the issue is the extra ridicule that will be gauranteed to head our way on top of everything else if he is offered a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothernRam Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 If he signs one. Clough will be looking like a tool. What was the point to say this then?

Do we trial every Tom, Dick and Harry that is out of contract and at one time in their career was good enough to play in the football league but not recently. Dickov had a reputation for scoring goals and was still playing at this level when we picked him up. The same can be said of Kuqi. Boulding?! No, the same cannot be said so why would anyone even begin to compare them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mix words. again show me were it says he's having "a trial with a view to a contract", perhaps he's just training with us for some fitness and Clough fancied giving him a run out.
