I'm skeptical about it being Lavinier.

Ye it don't look like Lavinier, but he was highly thought of and would've been a decent player to pick up. I liked the look of him whenever I've watched him.

Forgot to add, like with everyone else I also thought the trialist looked very good. I think the difference is, the others were arguably in the shop window and the ones who have stagnated whilst he's in there working to be picked up.

Hopefully he stays. With Hinds gone, I don't really fancy Lusala that much as a RB so we would need a decent one without having to put CM/DMs there

I'm having a really hard time identifying the defensive trialist from last night. He's black, around 5'10-5'11 and shows all the hallmarks of having come through a tier 1 or 2 academy. I'd be majorly surprised if he'd previously been in an academy lower than that because his fundamentals are too good and his comfort dealing with the movement of lads at this level was very telling. A kid with those talents would not be either (a) a free agent, or (b) hard to recognise. He also looked pretty sharp in terms of fitness which suggests that he's not long been released from a professional program. That narrows it down to someone who has been recently released from a Premier League or Championship academy or U23s squad. I've scoured all of the Released lists and haven't been able to find anyone that fits the bill. The closest I got was Keenan Ferguson of Sheffield United but I'm 99% sure its not him from comparing the two physically. I'm out of ideas.

Think you’re right with Ferguson - got this screenshot from the Leyton Orient unfiltered video. (I’m not a virgin)

Tbh I guess you aren't being 100% serious but credit should be given. In this case literally a credit.

Can anyone explain how a player thats still registered under Sheffield United is allowed to be a trialist with us? I assume either we have agreement with the club already or they have already terminated his contract and is a free agent? Thanks as I'm not sure how transfers work at the youth level
