uptheowls Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Gone on trial with our old mate Colin at Cardiff City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 No doubt will do well for them.....for a while. Really liked him when we first had him, real quality. Scored some good goals for us. The strike against PNE shows his quality, not many players would have tried to lob the keeper in that instance. Shame how it all turned out for him and us.

Philb125 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I posted that I'd read some forest fan had said this was happening last week. Thought nothing of it but be happy if it comes off. Never like to see someone wasting away and gets him off our wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Can imagine he was on a decent wage, hopefully that will be used towards a new signing asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy365owl Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 This might be a dumb question but isnt he still on our wage bill while on this trial ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume so, as he's still under contract with us. The fact the club are happy to send him on trial to another team would suggest how keen they are to get him out the door. Can anyone think of another example of this happening? It seems like a very unusual step to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaykz Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 No doubt he's a classy player on his day and has had some good performances for us. But he's also capable of being incredibly frustrating. I remember when Colin brought his Rotherham team to Hillsborough. We were 1-0 down and McGugan came on with about 15 mins left. He swanned around in the middle of the pitch, passing it sideways, with all the urgency of a player who was 3-0 up in a pre-season friendly. I was tearing my hair out.

I just can't recall hearing of a trialist being under contract with another club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the club have been trying to get him out for quite some time now. Hopefully Lewis is on the same page this time and impresses down in Wales...

Claudio Tankisco Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Good luck with fitting into archaic football tactics and working for a football manager dinosaur. Hope you're ready to be told to kick lumps out of the opposition and go down like a sack of spuds when you're touched too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have gone in if it didn't clip the defender. It annoys me that people regard it as a precision strike from long distance. It was more of a hit and hope.

poite Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Good move for both parties. Cardiff get an excellent championship player and mcgugan gets a chance to play for a manager who certainly won't accept any s**t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Wonder if we can convince Colin to swap him for Morrison. Let's hope he bangs a few in the top corner in training! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 A sign that McGugan is in the last year of his contract that he is now willing to go out on trial with another club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warnock is just the sort of aggressive motivator that might get a decent season out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he has trained with the reserves for the last two years kind of tells me that Carlos didint accept any either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
