Why do we have Trailists.

[Steve C]

We always read soandso is on trail at the Palace but we never sign them,remember Teddy Lucic not good enough,he whent on to be an international player so why do we bother

[curly c.p.f.c]

Y do we bother?
Forget trialist's we reject. What about the loan player's we pay fortune's while their heart's are mile's away from SELHUST

Not another Italian ?

[Al From Bromley]

But listen we got Zico on trial. Yes Zico, the Brazilian. Er......no, Zico the Thai international who is due out at the Asian Cup soon apparently. Why??????????????????

[Ash]

Think of the shirt sales Alf.

[Al From Bromley]

Thanks Ashes! Somehow I prefer Trolley's Alan!

[Ash]

'Trolley's Alans' ??

You telling me the old duffer wears knickers ? ! !

What is a "trailist"? Is it some kind of cult thing where the members leave a paper chase? Does it involve hiking or tracking marks left by snails?

[Al From Bromley]

I think youve had too much sun Nobby http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/smile.gif (when's it on?)

When you get a trialist at a club, the player is there because he has not had enough first team performances to make a judgement on how good they are. Instead, a trial is held, where the player involved, has to show how good he is.

[jaybee]

Trials r a good idea. U don't want 2 pay out loads of money 4 a crap player. Imagine if we gave Zohar or Gareth Talyor a trail first.

[Ian]

We gave someone called Ian Wright a trial once. Seem to remember he turned out OK.

[Chorley Boy]

Surely it's to allow the current squad to believe that they're better than the trialist because they were offered a contract without one!!!!

[Ian Hart]

I seem to recall they did give Zohar a week's trial (whilst on tour) and it was largely on the strength of that we signed him. Anyone still keen on trials?

What I want to know is, what happens if Zico's found guilty?

[rashid]

To turn this round, I cannot imagine any trialist wanting to become part of the current scene at Selhurst Park! Perhaps that is why they are all foreigners who probably have only a rudimentary grasp of the language and do not understand what is going on around them.
