K-9 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Hearing from sources that Dons have 3 foreign players in on trial. Lorenzo Davids (Edgars nephew), Bossu and Redallou. Know nothing else about them at all. Quote
Guest fatshaft Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Hearing from sources that Dons have 3 foreign players in on trial. Lorenzo Davids (Edgars nephew), Bossu and Redallou. Know nothing else about them at all. I suspect they may be Dutch Quote
Slim Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenzo_Davids Dutch U21 international, played 15 games for NEC Nijmegen this season. Quote
Friedrichs Moustache Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Now, I await endless, relentless mocking for this. Lorenzo Davids is utterly amazing in Football Manager. Left back or Left wing. If he's half as good in real life as he is on that, he'll be the best left back we've had in a decade. Quote
K-9 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Posted May 16, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenzo_Davids Dutch U21 international, played 15 games for NEC Nijmegen this season. Was just away to have a look aswell. Bossu firt name is Bertrand Quote
Slim Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 This one sounds utter gash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Bossu Quote
K-9 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Posted May 16, 2008 This one sounds utter gash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Bossu Aye but Jimmy can spot a player when in on trial. No duds been signed after flying in training!! Quote
Slim Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Wikipedia was talking shit about Davids, looks like he's been a regular for them this season: http://www.nec-nijmegen.nl/layout.php?p=4&SpelerID=1194 Quote

Reekie_Red Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 If he's half as good in real life as he is on that, he'll be the best left back we've had in a decade. Better than our left back from a decade ago? Nah, min. Nobody's better than Jamie McAllister Quote

If he's half as good in real life as he is on that, he'll be the best left back we've had in a decade. Wouldn't be hard when the competition is McAllister, McQuilken, Byrne, Foster etc etc and so on and so forth... Quote
manc_don Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Agreed, that Bertrand guy sounds utter mince. He's played near enough zero games for years! Quote
Jute Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Wikipedia was talking shit about Davids, looks like he's been a regular for them this season: http://www.nec-nijmegen.nl/layout.php?p=4&SpelerID=1194 According to that site he is under contract until 2009. Is he being freed or are we paying a fee? Quote

Slim Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 It's nae him: The Dons have given three trialists an opportunity to win a deal at Pittodrie. 6 foot 7 inch French goalkeeper Bertrand Busso who played for Walsall last season. 27 year old Dutch striker Iwan Redan from Willem II, who was on loan at Cardiff last season, and Edgar David's nephew Sevanja Davids have also joined the club. Quote
Penfold Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Iwan Redan: However in late December 2005 he and Dutch international player Kevin Bobson were relegated to Willem II's second team because their mental and physical performances were considered to be weak.[4] As a result Redan wanted to leave the club and went on trial to several clubs like Preston North End, Sheffield Wednesday, Ipswich Town and CD Numancia, but did never sign a contract and returned to Willem II.[5] Since then he hardly played any matches until he became a regular again in the 2006/07 season and even became the team's captain. Willem II was however performing badly and was found in the lower rankings of the league all the time. During a KNVB Cup match against De Graafschap Redan headbutted team mate Kristof Imschoot and the Willem II board decided Redan had to leave the club. Quote
Stewart Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Any truth that Edgar Davids' nephew is related to George Weah's cousin? Quote
Ajja Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Presume we will sign the Davids character then claim we didn't realise he wasn't the other guy ? Quote
Penfold Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Presume we will sign the Davids character then claim we didn't realise he wasn't the other guy ? Redweb seem to know which one we have. The EE however have copied the rumour off here/another board and have it as Lorenzo. http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/76/fb/0,,10284~3668854,00.jpg[/img] Redan Quote

Slim Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Presume we will sign the Davids character then claim we didn't realise he wasn't the other guy ? From snooping around Google it seems he was part of the Feyenoord youth squad that won the Dutch youth cup last month and has been released. Might be worth a punt. Quote
Guest Caroline B Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 What's this? players on trial? If they are anything like the last lot of trialists, they'll be found guilty too! Quote
