McLaughlin has been on Forest's tour of Sweden playing in all 3 games, mainly at left back where he has played before for Forest.

If we can sign up Hunt & Pigott soon and then get McLaughlin along with another striker, possibly on loan, then I'd say it would have been a very good bit of business.

If he is playing in their friendlies doesnt sound likely he is available though?

Depends on the reason for playing him. Are they seeing if he is good enough or just playing him, out of his best position, due to lack of options?

I can't imagine that a club with the resources that Forest have would be lacking in options.

Forest only have 1 left-back at the club and, from the sounds of it, their fans wouldn't be happy with him being their first choice left-back for next season.
 

Another one who has spent more time on the treatment table than the pitch. The life of a lower league club I suppose.

Absolutely, and it must be hard for these players 'hawking' themselves around the lower leagues in the hope that they may get a contract offer from somewhere.

Looking at Wikipedia then Galbraith must have something about him for Man Utd to sign him at 16, but his career seems absolutely blighted by injury which is so sad to read.

Based on that then I am sure that the best he could ever hope for from any team is a 'pay as you play' sort of deal.

I really think it's time Southend stopped wasting time and money and a squad space on these type of injury prone players, or players that are never any good after bad injuries.

Timlin had a couple of bad injuries and was good after. Corr had a history and was injured for an entire season.

How do you know a player wont be any good after one?
 
When will people learn that 99% of trialists are just here to make up the numbers. We have two first-team games in two days and we'll need bodies to play in them!
 
Don't think he has been mentioned yet, but Didier Drogba is available

:whistling:
 
Ok - I'll throw in a random name as well and go for Calvin Zola - not based on any evidence or rumours by the way but a player that i always quite rated
