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

Dutch U21 international, played 15 games for NEC Nijmegen this season.

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.

Aye but Jimmy can spot a player when in on trial.  No duds been signed after flying in training!!

Wikipedia was talking shit about Davids, looks like he's been a regular for them this season:

That's good enough for me.  Get him signed!

Probably just not updated for months.  Same with most players

Better than our left back from a decade ago? Nah, min. Nobody's better than Jamie McAllister

Wouldn't be hard when the competition is McAllister, McQuilken, Byrne, Foster etc etc and so on and so forth...

Agreed, that Bertrand guy sounds utter mince. He's played near enough zero games for years!

According to that site he is under contract until 2009. Is he being freed or are we paying a fee?

Potential problem.... under contract until 1st July 2009

Oooopps beaten to it by Jute

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.

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.

Any truth that Edgar Davids' nephew is related to George Weah's cousin?

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.

Redan

Ooops - a wee name mistake!!

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.

What's this? players on trial?

 

If they are anything like the last lot of trialists, they'll be found guilty too! 

George Weah's cousin?

 

Peter?

That'll be the EE shown up again. Not only second to the Dons exclusives but not even doing ther research before copying it straight off of the internet!

 

Don't know anything about these players but the keepers record is pish, hardly played a game in years. The Dutch striker has been offered around numerous teams who've said no but seems like a nutter, something we could do with. Davids looks like he is a decent young player and if it is LB he plays he can't be any worse than our other efforts over the years.
