Trialists (merged)

[Kirishima]

And here

I know I asked this earlier, how would he have come onto ICTs radar?

[Jay_7]

I'm sure I recall Latviaman saying he'd attempted to get in contact with the club about a Latvian player being available and wanting a move to Scotland...

[Alex MacLeod]

Could be an agent touting him. Could be help from Hearts. Could be Latviamans a scout. Who knows?

[Libero]

As well as the Latvian centre half we have on trial, one of his team mates is over too. 28 year old attacking midfielder called Vladimir Kolesnicenko.

Full story here

edited to add that his club website lists him as a striker

Full story in The Herald

The line from his current club ..... "Pavels is a strong and commanding presence and can also play football." is encouraging.

Given that he's a footballer you would hope so! Have all our other trialists been picking up the ball and running with it

[strathyjags]

we also have a striker ryan harper on loan hes scottish but been playing in spanish 3rd div

[martinskye]

Where did you find out about harper?

[strathyjags]

Where did you find out about harper?

said on mfr sports news tonight the other latvian and harper were on trial also,excerpt from mfr website

Thierry Gathuessi and Filipe Morais will arrive in Inverness tonight, and undergo a medical to rubber stamp their six month loan deal at Caley Thistle.

The Hibs pair, who were signed by John Collins in the summer of 2007, have failed to make an impact under current boss Mixu Paatailnen.

Inverness boss Craig Brewster is keen to seen the two players sign.......

Latvian attacking midfielder Vladimir Kolesnicenko and Scottish striker Ryan Harper, who plies his trade in the Spanish third division are also at the club on trial,

Along with defender Pavels Mihadjuks, all aiming to impress Brewster........

[Renegade]

And Here's The Other One

Looks like a right cheery chap.

Info on Harper...

BBC clicky

[Guest Murdock]

Anyone heard of Tony Dinning?

Clicky

[davieB]

It must be chaos in training at the moment with all these trialists :thumb04:

Good to see Chester City rejects are considered good enough for us. Nice one Malky

[kencar]

Anyone heard of Tony Dinning?

Clicky

According to Soccerbase Wigan paid ?750,000 for him, albeit several years ago!!

[Caley Stan]

Isn't Dinning the guy that Brewster and Malky didn't tap up las season?

More info on our trialists in today's P & J

Harper had a trial with Partick earlier in the week and failed to impress.

Kolesnicenko has 34 caps for Latvia but a quick glance at Wikipedia shows that he hasn't played much football since leaving Skonto Riga in 2002.

[Alex MacLeod]

These are triallists. We haven't signed them and there's no indication that we will. They may prove to be an asset to our squad, they may not but I wouldn't judge any of them on their Latvian record. They could well be more suited to our style of game. Nobody will ever know unless they're given a chance.

He was one of the 2 players that Chester suspended!

[TSTtiger]

hibs , chester and partick thistle rejects, way to go board, great investment targets to get us out of the ****

i dont see the point in writing off players before they've been given a chance to show if they are capable.

not a fan of this term reject either, by defintion most footballers if not all in this country could be classed as rejects!

surplus to requirements,failed to impress, paint it any way you like, still waiting for quality even on par with what players are leaving/left

moving to reduce wage costs, moving to recoup transfer fees, moving to get first team football, like you say it can be painted in many ways and is not always indicative of whether they can play football or not!

i agree with what you say that we are still waiting for quality replacements and we are in dire need of them but think we shouldnt be too hasty in writing off players without them being given a fair chance.

ICT have benefitted in the past by taking on 'rejects' on more than one occasion ie. Dods, Brown, Robson, Wyness, Dargo to name but a few so maybe we should hold off to see if they are capable or not.

your right they deserve a chance but if we've unearthed a dods,brown,robson,wyness or dargo then i'm the pope.

will be happy to be wrong though

[Libero]

ok then Benedict

[ICTFCkev]

Most on here said we needed new faces in, and just cause they haven't heard of somebody they have on trial they think they must be useless..

How many of you on here can say you had heard of Ian Black before he signed for us a few years back?

Now the lad is arguably the best player at ICT, for the time being.

Not think its best to give somebody a chance before you're judging them?

[Pele_Is_God]

I have never seen us so busy in a transfer window! Never heard of Dinning, I wonder if this means Pressley has knocked us back....
