  FORMER Wolves and AFC Wimbledon midfielder Louis Harris is among a number of trialists being put through their paces by Swindon Town manager Kevin MacDonald this week.

Only played 7 for the struggling Wombles last year. Injured? Only 20 mind so that may also explain it.

Change of manager by the looks of it.

I am jumping the gun majorly as we have 6 weeks left. BUT this is looking like a team from a budget 2.4k not 2.4m

Just had a look at the Wimbledon forum and saw this comment


Maybe has the ability but not the attitude

Its a bit bargin basement shopping this one.

Hopefully its a just a case of Ardley not being able to see talent in a young kid whereas KMac can.

Some guy called Harry Agombar also on trial.. All I found on him was this youtube video (lacking in modesty to say the least)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viNzFPS5Mrw

The graphic proclamations of genius in that are almost as embarrassing as that video of Leon Knight commentating on his own goals. And at least Leon Knight was (REMOVED FOR LEGAL REASONS) at the time.

What's this guys excuse?

Can't help but feel that is a bit self mocking.

You'd hope so.

"Self Confident" doesnt even get close to describing those credits!

Couldn't even get a game for Macclesfield last year, but has had trials at bigger clubs that us in the last 12 months.

Agreed those titles in the video are crazy!

Either it is, in which case it's a pretty stupid thing to put online if you are trying to find new employers, or it's not, and he (or at least his agent) actually believe it.

I'm not sure what's worse.

Well lets hope this is KMac doing some good basement bargain deals. I know they are only trialists and they are young but Wimbledon and Mansfield rejects....

Guess we will see in time...

The days of us signing players we'd actually heard of are gone...Kmac has got a very difficult job on here, hopefully the  Board will be sympathetic to his situation, even if the fans aren't.

Reading Jed's tweets, he's expecting us to have a competitive team, and for the fans to be a lot happier once they know who we are signing. I'm not sure the impression he is giving is consistent with the players who are coming in on trial. Lets hope he surprises us, at least a little !

Let's not forget we have some good players on our books still

We do, but how many of them will still be here in August?

I don't mind having a team with a lot of young players who are trying to make an impression, but if we do that I believe we need a core of good experienced players with them.

The concern is that players like Ward & to a degree Benson may be leaving. If that is the case they need to be replaced.

I'm not sure that players like Troy (and his bad bitches), Jay Mac & Navarro are the kind of players to provide that

They should give him a job in the media department.

League 1 standard video montage.

But also be mindful we have lost 3 good centre backs and 4 good midfielder players.

I agree with Reg and it fucks me off...

Released by a side who only retained their Football League status by scoring a late goal on the final day of last season. Frightening.

I expect abuse here, but while I have always been aware cost cutting was to take place this summer I didn't think it would be to this extent.

You not only expect it, you actively encourage it and probably enjoy it.

Are you saying...

No...

YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T PREDICT THIS?!?  :eek:

Now I don't know who to believe. :( :(

Trololololololololol

What's frightening about it? Have we signed him? We give trials to all sorts of shit every year. You have to look at a whole load of rubbish to pick up the odd gem.

'Today was all about Harry Agombar, he was...'
