    According to NUFC.com

    Another Frenchie eyed:

    While Gabriel Obertan was completing the formalities of his transfer at Darsley Park on Monday, yet another French- speaking player was attempting to earn a deal with United in a training ground reserve friendly.

    The as-yet un-named forward played 45 minutes, netting once in what was an 8-2 romp over a less experienced smoggy XI. Also on the scoresheet were Phil Airey (2), Sam Ameobi (2), Nile Ranger, Jeff Henderson and an OG.


    Teteh Bangura would speak french being from Sierra Leone ...<whistle>

    Any other ideas? you'd have to think that if we're trialing a striker this close to the seasons opener then it would have to be a 1st teamer rather than a development player if we're going gung ho for a new striker at this stage.

    They speak English in Sierra Leone

    Rumours are that it was Yaya Sanogo, no one really knows tho

    never heard of this Yayo Sanogo? from his wiki page he doesn't sound like the kind of established striker we were hoping for...

    Can't see it being anyone other than a youngster. The chances of any club letting a top quality striker to come over here for a trial is slim to non. Would imagine it would be someone of the same ilk as Abeid

    Call me deluded but Bangura doesn't exactly play for a massive club. i would imagine they would let him go to a big team on trial to drum up interest...

    I'm not saying thats the case mind. just pointing out that his club would probably be willing to let him go out on trial...
