Title: Berlin Ndebe-Nlome
Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, July 24, 2009, 16:57:29
Haven't got a clue who he is, but we're supposedly bringing him in on trial.

Quote
Paul Hart has denied Peter Crouch's uncertain future is proving a distraction.
The England man is leaving Fratton Park – but has yet to finalise a move elsewhere.

...[blah blah blah - load of uninteresting bollocks about Pompey]...

Finally, one-time reserve striker Berlin Ndebe-Nlome is reportedly linking up with Swindon for a trial.

Nobody knows what he has been doing for the last year since leaving Crawley.

I'd warrant that this one is a 'no'.

Incidentally all the scouts are at the club for the next couple of days for a conference.

His had a stinker for Crawley a couple of years ago and was taken off at H-T. I believe he's been on trial at Brighton this summer too.

We seem to be trawling the depths at the moment for potential.  

Nowt wrong with having a look but surely there are a few better calibre Premiership youngsters filtering down we could look at along side some of these fellas.  It’s like footballers that time forgot.

Any day now I expect Chris Wreh to pop up.

It's rare that professional clubs allow you to take contracted players on trial before signing... Especially the sort that we need to replace Cox with.

I think we need to sign a relatively known striker quickly before half of our fanbase suffer from spontaneous combustion.

It's a good 7-10 days before I'll start questioning why nobody has arrived/or we've signed a random free agent to replace Cox/Corr/Sturrock/Joyce.

I think we should invite 22 free agents and do the crossbar challenge, whoever hits it gets a trial pre-season.

Michael Bridges and Pericard are still up on free transfers and doing the rounds on trial surely worth a look if we're bottom of the barrel sniffing.

Unsure as to whether this has been mentioned or not but some of the squad did a cross-bar-challenge vs England Ladies on Monday.

Don't know if anyone managed it, but I am told that Bill Paynter was running around in his undies.

Oh, and David Lucas was in attendance whilst Phil Smith wasn't, so I'd warrant that the Preston-born netminder will be first choice goalkeeper in 09/10.

With a name like Berlin I think we should offer him a 5 year deal.

Michael Bridges - NO THANKS

Agreed but he doesn't want to move down south, which I fear will be the problem with a lot of potential new signings being unwilling to move too far from their home to play for us.

On an aside.....

A name linked with us in the past Rueben Reid is lined up to sign for Blackpool.

We turned down the chance to trial Bridges so that's a no.

If two signings really were 'imminent' why would we be bothering with this clown?

This smacks of desperation.

Well I don't 'know' he is a clown of course but from what I've read he looks like a complete no-hoper in the mould of Cherno Samba.  If he ends up getting 32 goals for us this season (or 10 even) I will be delighted to admit I was wrong. But I don't think I will be. I can feel it in my water.

Post by: Panda Paws on Saturday, July 25, 2009, 16:21:18
but with oinly one striker, we need to sign more than one, ideally three. If that means one big signing, one season long loan and one punt, like this fella, then so be it. We're not going to sign three proven strikers are we? For what it's worth, he didn't look particularly good, but had a huge leap on him and looks identical to Oba Martins, which is good enough for me.

He didn't get much time on the ball today and chased around a lot. I'm not sure that he could have done much else really, so it's worth giving him another game or two to get a proper look at hikm

Didn't do a lot for me, first impressions are no chance he will sign but lets wait and see.

True... He had the ball taken off him easily when he ran forward and then managed to do some girly jump thing and the ball roll between his legs. Looked quick but not going to bang them in.
