Andres Gurrieri On Trial. Again

Remember him? Nippy little Argentinian winger who looked so impressive pre-season last year, but left the club when it became apparent that the club that held his registration wanted some compensation for losing him. That and the fact that we didn't have the money to pay him at the time, either.

Anyhoo, he's back again, on trial again. the first bit of vaguely uplifting new player news we've had this summer, I'd suggest.

We need wingers as we've only got Lennox, Young and Bhasera (although it is not the primary position of the latter two). I didn't see him play pre-season and didn't think he did a lot when we played Burton at HP. If he can cross, could be a good signing for Big Rhys (if he also signs).

He looked all right in the last pre-season games. Burton must have felt they could do better. Saying that we do only have one true winger in Lennox (although he's really raw) although Cowan-Hall will probably be shoved out wide more often then not.

In the back of my head, I have a feeling he was played at full back for one friendly.

It comes to something when a winger who managed 13 games at Burton before being released, is seen as something to get semi-excited about.

League of wales, woking, burton rejects - competitive budget my arse.

They might all be fairly crap, but at least we'll have plenty of them. I'd have thought a strategic core of 18 decent journeymen/maturing youngsters should have been the first priority at the end of last season. Then there would be room for half a dozen punts. Fletch is letting the squad size run away with him.

Thought he would have been useful addition last year and was sad to see him leave. More glad to see him pitch up and given a go again. Fletchers little black book of footballing contacts looking a bit empty though.

Thought he was pretty mundane when he played for Burton against us at HP last season,still he did foul one of our players in the box and gave us a last minute penalty winner,Those three points went a long way to keeping us up so maybe not a bad bloke after all.Obviously Fletcher is looking for cheap options and this guy having not yet found a club is probably cheap.

Indeed,its starting to look very disturbing.

He isn't wanted by Burton who finished just above us in 17th place last season

But we may want to play more like West Ham than Burton do!

Hereford must have a few rejects we could sign, or maybe macclesfield are looking to offload some dead wood.

It is painfully thin, probably transparent. Two of last season's signings came from Larrieu's mobile phone contacts.

I thought he was ok last Pre-Season.

Shame we could not get him last year. Hope Fletcher does sign him on after another trial here.

How can Harry have a decent hotel at HP if he's wasting all argyle's money on decent players?

Remember JB's hotel first, Argyle last!

Very surprised Peter Jones is a part of this when its clear Harry is another Stapleton/Keith Turd.

If this guy is any good Fletcher will not sign him.Apparently he can pass the ball to one of his own players , do we really want this sort of troublemaker in our team?

I believe a lot of people confuse Peter Jones's input with that of Michael Foot.
He's a big fan, yes, but then so am I, and so is Stapes, and now apparently, so is Harry..

24 players and only 1 natural winger on the books and even he's a gamble. 24 players and half a dozen forwards whom we can't expect more than 10 goals between them. I can see a failing squad of 30+ before December, have fun.

Ten Goals from that lot . I like an optomist.

What happened to you?

We'll only sign him if he's shit or crocked. If he's any good he'll go elsewhere. Not excited.

BRENT OUT!
