RandomGuy Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Julian Faubert. TW desperately scrambling to make my "only dross available" comment as memorable as my "wont catch Hamilton" one. Had assumed he'd be out our price range though.

Jiangsu Sainty Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) The excellent unofficial twitter has confirmed it's a French international on trial. Don't know the origin of the real Madrid rumour but if there's anything to that then faubert is where those lines cross.

The Real Saints Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just watched some videos on YouTube. Ooft. Faubert will be our saviour, mark my words. Unless this is similar to the Goodwillie scenario. At the end of the week, Steve Brown will probably inform Tommy that we can't afford him.

Pat McGroin Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Not a hope in hell that we can afford him unless his life long dream was secretly to play for St Johnstone and he's coming here for petrol money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiangsu Sainty Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just in case it isn't faubert I've been trying to Google things like French one cap wonder or worst players to represent France but it's proving surprisingly difficult.

Pat McGroin Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 It looks like he's been playing in the Bordeaux reserves so you never know. I still reckon he'll be after more than we can offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I wish we would discuss money BEFORE they come on trial.This would save a lot of disappointment. Denzil and dunkeldneil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Jenkins Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 It amazes me how we get these guys on trial knowing full well we probably can't afford them. You would think that is the first conversation. What do we expect is going to happen? They see Mcd the soon to be gone training 'centre' and the north inch and think this is what I've been missing my entire career!

Kyle Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 He's been without a club since the summer. A move to Saints gives him a wage and a shop window. Also gives the fans a lift too.He's playing for the U20s right now, so it's obviously semi serious at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 i can't imagine he'd bother coming on trial if hes expecting £10k a week. Can't think of anyone we've had on trial that asked for too much wages either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat McGroin Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Goodwillie. I'm not sure if Faubert still has pace. As a youngster he was frighteningly quick. I remember Rangers thought they had him all but signed then WHU gazumped them. He was one of the hottest talents in Europe back then. Not going to get my hopes up!

crieffsaintandy Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thats not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is that anyone whos still without a club in February is likely shite and its pointless pinning our hopes on some superstar thats apparently going to come in.FWIW Reo-Cokers an injury prone, 31 year old midfielder who, thanks the openess of the Americans, we know was earning £12k a week last month. While Jennings was released by MK Dons for being overweight. Forgive me if I'd rather play Brown and Thomson and save the money for PCAstoo much going back and forward between here and p&b and taking bits from other people's posts, any good gossip on the new trialists wage demands, fitness levels, weight, niggly injuries or do you just make it up as you go along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat McGroin Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 There's never anyone decent available in February. Not even worth looking. Send him home blueheaven, crieffsaintandy and SaintSam1884 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheYellowBox Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Ha ha, not a chance we will sign him. He's just a poor mans Dave MacKay.If by some miracle we did sign him, we need to get the Real Madrid advertising hoarding back! Any word on who the other trialist is?

Pat McGroin Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Doubt he'd be here if there wasn't a possibility of him coming. Would not be surprised if the Dundee game shocked Brown into opening his wallet. The squad badly needs investment. I'd prefer signings that would be here for more than 6 months but we'd be idiotic to ignore someone with this pedigree.
