Planet Swans Archives| It comes to something when even the manager is not sure what trialists are due into the club, as this particular one was arranged via Giovanni Savarese last season but he forgot to tell anyone about it – apparantely! |
| David Rojas arrived from Spain only to be surprised that no-one knew he was supposed to be there. But John Hollins, being the kind hearted soul that he is (or is that desperate) took pity on him and decided that he could stay after all. |
| Speaking to the official club site, Hollins said "When he introduced himself, and apologised for being late, I was taken aback, as I had no idea who he was! |
| "But, having made his own way, the least I can do is let him show me what he’s got. He certainly looks fit, but whether he has got what it takes to make the grade is another thing, but now he’s here, it won’t cost us anything to have a look." |
| Incidents like this very rarely come off and you think back to the trialist at Southampton a few years back who convinced them that he was top class and got a contract only for them to realise that he really was pants! |
| Still, if it worls, maybe John will take the credit from his ‘extensive scouting network’ |
| Despite the extra trialist, I am also told that the Australian was over today for his trial and that the new Vetch turf is made of ‘Bermudan Grass’ which should be interesting when some of the players start to try and roll it up and smoke it! |
