No.Could helander be one of the trialists? He’s subject to international clearance so perhaps this is a way around it and for the closed doors component?

What??? He’s signed but can’t techinally play until he has clearance, I’m sure clubs have done this before? Why the reaction?Deary me
Why is this being played behind closed doors?

International clearance doesn't mean anything for friendlies/bounce games.
It certainly does in England. Look up Christian stuani when he signed for boro. Could only play closed door friendlies until int. Clearance
My school from 78-83 , cracking school tie .Double Blue!
The navy of Oxford and the light blue of Cambridge were the inspiration for my old school colours. Allan Glen's - also had the masonic symbol as part of the blazer badge
He hasn't even started his pre-season yet. Helander isn't listed as a trialist and could play anyway.What??? He’s signed but can’t techinally play until he has clearance, I’m sure clubs have done this before? Why the reaction?
Ah my apologies. I’m getting some abuse for even suggesting it, thought this was anotherThat's what I mean, this is a closed door friendly/bounce game so he's free to play

Our first team played those friendlies. With the players we've put out today, I can't think of a reason we'd have asked at the last minute for it to be closed doors.Why was TNS or countless other bounce games?
He was playing competively 4 weeks ago and assume bologna are back in pre so not out of realms he plays 20 against a lower league team is it? No need for the mockeryHe hasn't even started his pre-season yet. Helander isn't listed as a trialist and could play anyway.
Bologna started pre season last Thursday so he's a good couple of weeks behind the rest of the squad, so yes id be surprised if we threw him into a match before he'd properly started his fitness training.He was playing competively 4 weeks ago and assume bologna are back in pre so not out of realms he plays 20 against a lower league team is it?

Unless it is because of the trialist thing as @dookieno8 suggested.
I think we all read too much into it from Cambridge's tweet, we were probably sending 17 year olds to play them at Largs. Now we can get footage, analysis and sports science by playing at HTC on the next crop pushing for first team squad inclusion, Murphy getting more minutes is another plus
I thought it was a fair enough question, I had the same thought myself. A bit of a bizarre overreaction I thought.
Has he done any pre season training before joining us mate?

9’ GOAL: Serge Atakayi plays the ball through to Andrew Dallas who fires a low shot into the back of the next to give Rangers an early lead. 1-0
Well I'm strapped in lads.
What time's kickoff so that I can clear my meetings and spend 90 minutes refreshing this thread instead?
Three trialists, let the gossip commence!
And a switch to ‘closed doors’, 2 + 2 = 55 !3 trialists... interesting.
Wes Hoolahan one of the Cambridge trialists in the second half apparently.
Pretty much the first XI - shows the gulf and why Utd might well get relegated to the conference this season.
Hot scoop from one of the THTC groundstaff. We did indeed switch the game to 'closed doors' because of the 3 Trialists. One is Helander, who's international clearance isn't through yet, the other two are Skrtel and Sturridge whom we wanted to take a closer look at.
We also have an active interest in Tierney as back-up to Borna and asked if we could field him as a trialist to assess his fitness. Lemon refused, saying the only way he'd do a deal for Tierney was if Halliday went to the DhimDome as part of the deal. My source didn't reveal how much cash we would be getting out of it if the deal is revived though.
Barjo is lethal from outside of the box. Still think he's got an outside chance of making it.
Another loan spell this year would be best.

Is it feasible that two of those listed as Trialists could have been youngsters Umaro Blade from Sporting and Ritchie Kane-Hosler from Man City who, I think, have yet to sign officially?
