If he signs then it must be fate

I was watching the game thinking who is this Providence fella, looks really good

 

[bakajack]

He showed all sides of his game today I think.
Plenty of pace, good dribbling, an assist for Grimes and making the right runs in and around the box.
Didn't neglect the defensive aspect either, plenty of tracking back and pressing.

Based on that 25 min appearance I would say sign him up

Yes, I originally thought he was one of the under 21's stepping up who I had never heard of and said he could certainly make the grade.

I thought he was ok, did some good things and would be a useful squad member.
Odd that his name wasn’t mentioned but was on the screen at the start and on the back of his shirt.

Because he is a trialist, there is a given convention that you don't name trialists who take part in matches
But having a shirt number and his name on the shirt was indeed unusual

He’s been on trial at Oxford recently who liked the look of him, as he’s currently with a team how much fee are we talking?

 

[bakajack]

Players contracted to another side don't usually take part in trials due to the risk (however small) that they pick up an injury while training or playing in a friendly. Did a quick google search and his contract expired end of June

If we sign him that’s our visa quota done for this summer

Would rather us try and use that for a first team starter

Judging by his performance today he could very well become a first team starter...

We should still have one left.

Franco qualifies and doesn't need to use one of our visa slots
Same with Zan
Slot needed for Eom
Slot needed for Vigouroux
Slot spent in January for Ronald
Slot left open

Vigoroux is English so won’t need one

Didn’t realise Franco & Zan were exempt from that

Zan certainly meets work permit criteria through matches played at certain level and playing for his country.

It seems only Ronald and Eom are non WP players so 2 still left.

Franco certainly has a WP and the other site is saying Vipotnik also has one.
