Is there a lack of transfer rumours guys? Going by the poor jokes going round I guess so.

Yes, I am a boring old git.

Kingy - you don't have to be old to be a boring git  - plenty manage to do it whilst considerably younger.

Toney was in the Newcastle squad at the weekend for the Steel Park Cup at Corby.
It we be convenient, if he stayed at his parents, for a couple of extra days, I suppose.

Probably rubbish, but hell it's a rumour at least.

Northampton Town are set to sign MKDons striker Simon Church. Fee = £250K rising to £300K.

At least it is a rumour! Interesting one though; Welsh connection!

That's a lot of wonga for a striker whose scored about 1 in 6 over his career! Knock the 0 off, and it maybe a bit nearer his true value.

I don't understand why the details of trialists have to be kept under wraps like a big secret - by their nature trialists are usually either unproven youngsters or players who have been discarded/released - hardly gold dust

I suspect it is because we often haven't confirmed who they'll be until the day of the game. I get the impression that the trialists this year are there to fill a specific role, give some balance and allow us to rest players with slight knocks, rather than earn a contract.

Obviously one could come in and do really well and we would take another look but I think Page knows who he would like the remaining players to be and I don't think any of them will be here on trial.

If you've got the player 'in the building' and playing games for you you've got a marginal headstart on other clubs (including those clubs who may not be aware of the availability of the player or may not currently be considering them as a target).  Keeping the trialists secret until the last minute just helps to preserve your slight advantage/headstart.

If we announced yesterday 6-7 decent trialists who'd be featuring tonight you're basically inviting other clubs to come along to a scouting event and you're diminishing that advantage.

Believe it or not this is more important to the club than keeping you waiting 24 hours to see the names of the trialists on the night.

I appreciate what you're saying but it seems a lot of cloak and dagger for what is likely to be a couple of 19 year olds who have been released from a prem club or a journeyman whose contract has expired. I'm guessing one of the trialists will be chicksen who took part in the open training session on Saturday - I'm not sure why we would need 3 left backs as from what I've read about him he hasn't played further forward in his career

Chicksen has played a big chunk at right back too, given that Maloney is injury prone as hell I think he would be a good addition that could cover both LB/RB.

Fair play - sounds like more than useful cover at both full back positions, might even be an improvement on Phillips at right back

I agree that there are other much more pressing areas that need strengthening but if Maloney continues to be injury prone and Hanley/Phillips struggle to settle then we may need a utility man like chicksen
