Alexis Andre Jr would be my guess if we have signed a French keeper who's been playing over here in the UK Hes more known for having nearly 5 million followers on Tiktok and winning this years version of French Big Brother than his actually football ability though Sounds about right. One of the people who told me mentioned a large social media presence. |

Going by his latest TikTok videos & Instagram stories he's partying it up in France at a music festival, so I would hope we were looking at other options, because at the moment he clearly doesn't seem focused on football.

Do we really want a keeper who will probably dump us for a spot on Love Island.

It all feels a bit underwhelming tbh.
These trialists are available because no other club at NLS level feels they are worth a contract.
We got lucky last season with the keeper.
Less so this season.
Dorking again. Zero interest in trialists. Wanderers have just signed their whole squad from players they wanted with a proven track record. How can Stones compete ?

"These trialists are available because no other club at NLS level feels they are worth a contract." - how do you know? "Less so this season." - know one knows yet. "How can Stones compete ?" - same an usual. We only play Dorking twice. Accumulate more points against the rest of the league, most of whom we have a better budget than. By your thinking, how can they compete with us? |

Dorking only signed 4 players the rest of the squad were either on 2 year contracts or were with them last year and have re signed. |

In other words Dorking have ZERO trialists.
Look, I can understand how clubs like Snodland, Larkfield and Bearsted in the SCEFL league may want to look at some trialists
But Stones ?
As for Woody implying that these trialists may have NLS contracts lined up elsewhere
Now that really is 'pie in the sky' thinking.

I must admit that I find this trialist malarkey a bit strange.
Good NLS players have been signed up already.
May seem harsh but are we now looking at the flotsam to top up our squad ?

Can't blame him for that. So he's got other interests too, not exactly a crime. Just at the moment Alexis does look the best bet. |

Tanga was on trial at Dagenham last week so there are some clubs who do trial some decent players. There are loads of players without clubs. Released from all levels. Many will be on trial at clubs and many will be decent. My comment was just questioning the usual comments claiming something with absolute certainty with no real knowledge to back it up. |

The point Im getting at is going by his social media hes not focused on Football at the moment, surely if he was he would be back in pre season training somewhere on trial or already signed. He left Woking before the season ended to do a TV show for 2 months, that's fair enough if he wants to do that, but surely we want someone who is fully focused on football and won't potentially disappear to do another TV show. Also, he would be a massive drop in quality from Covolan. |

I know it is rumoured at the moment but given that 2 members of this supposed recruitment committee are Bill and George (Bill is still on it isn't he), can you see him getting the nod? If there was ever a player who didn't match what I assume George's is looking for in a character (and I am assuming a lot here) this fella ticks few boxes. Maybe I am being prejudiced by previously unproven assumptions made on released players. Having said that, goalies are mercurial and if he is a talent that can be secured then maybe it has legs. |
