Today's Trial Games.

[Shrimpson]

We have two over from Belgium. Picked them up in my cab.

 

[Smiffy]

Rowan Ricketts and Jake Thompson are two names I've heard so far. The one with the long hair is from a park side and he looks useful.

Smiffy beat me to it!! Bilel has been managing from the sidelines.

Rohan Ricketts!? Blimey. Get his head straight and he'd be a very useful signing.I've also heard that they guy with the Afro has a lot of potential. Do we know what country he's from Smiffy? Similar level to where Mohsni came from is he?

 

[fredheim_holm]

Dervite needs no trial. That rumour is one of the most ridiculous I've heard.

Could be this Jake Thomson if anyones interested.

Is it definitely Rohan Ricketts Smiffy? Very surprised if so, according to wiki he did well at Spurs earlier in his career and almost got into the England squad.

Keep the updates coming, quite an interesting day.

Interesting quote from his wiki if true:

He stated on May 3, 2011 that he would like to return to England, to play in either the Premiership, or Championship.

Maybe he hasn't realised we've been relegated twice?

 

[Andy_S]

Ricketts is indeed back in the country looking for a club so...... On his Twitter he did post yesterday he was essentially off to try his luck somewhere actually.

 

[jamesmut2000]

Bilel now taking the warm up for one of the teams.

 

[fredheim_holm]

'Not take risk is the riskiest thing there is! #football' - Rohan Ricketts Twitter - 5 hours ago.

Joining Southend ay, that's a risk :smile:

 

[blueveined]

Looking at his wiki it seems Ricketts was at Wolves at the same time as Jemal Johnson - wonder if he recommended him to PS.

Another winger..is that really what we need

 

[davewebbsbrain]

This is 100% true as my dad has is down there and dervite is there!!!

Probably Calum Butcher, there is a resemblance

 

[Andy_S]

Another winger..is that really what we need

I'd like another winger. We started last season with four, but we currently only have two. Jake Thomson might be a useful squad member. Very quick and tricky, with good pedigree.

Johnson, Hall, Ricketts...there all gonna wanna play.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

No relation to Michael is he?

 

[Angell Delight]

To be fair JJ can also operate as a striker if necessary so another winger would be useful as it gives us more options if we don't pick up another forward before the start of the season (especially with Corr's fitness record).

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Another Ricketts? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! According to Wikipedia, he signed for SV Wilhelmshaven in January this year and stated his desire, in May, to return to England in order to play in the PREMIERSHIP or CHAMPIONSHIP????!!! :unsure:

 

[Andy_S]

Johnson, Hall, Ricketts...there all gonna wanna play.

True, but we need competition and something from the bench. With regards to Ricketts though, he also operates from the centre as well.

Your Dad needs to go to Specsavers.
