Hughesy Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Was just reading on nufc.com that today in 1997 we had Massimo Oddo (of Lazio and AC Milano fame, as well as Champions League and World Cup winner) on trial. We obviously didn't buy him. Was wondering if anyone knows of any other players we've had on trial who've gone on to be pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hyypia Brad Friedel couldn't get a work permit. I think we had Darren Fletcher on a trial as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Only ones I can think of are Rodney Jack, Francesco Coco and Marc Ziegler. None are brilliant though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennet Anderson. thats him Remember KK chasing him in our promotion season but failed to sign for some reason. I remember him and his agent sitting in the Milburn for one of our televised games on Tyne Tees. played in a reserve game and because he was a trialist we werent allowed to charge for entry so we had about 5,000 the reserves at SJP.

nobby_solano Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 i really rated kennet andersson, thought he had a great usa '94 and hoped we'd sign him, we got kitson instead iirc gutted we didn't sign hyypia, he and albert would have been a good centre back pairing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
