Raphael Calvet: On trial next week

Someone posted a tweet about him joining us a few days ago. To follow up, saw this article on him which was posted today:

Rough translation from google:

Considered one of the best hopes of the club, Raphael Calvet is more than ever on the move.

Indeed, the 20 year old defender has been recently tested on the side of Cardiff, newly promoted to the Premier League. The player under contract until 2014 with Auxerre, should remain in Britain still 5-6 days time to prove himself. If that fails, Calvet could rebound very quickly for a new trial on the side of Portugal, Benfica, according to information from Foot Mercato.

I must say that the Auxerre defender has already seen more than 40 selections in different categories of Team France youth while being generally designated captain. Barred early last season by an injury is an altercation in Auxerre cloakroom, including Raphael Calvet was originally, which would have infuriated Bernard Casoni. The club now hopes to part as soon as possible, even free ...

Interesting that he's considered "one of the best hopes of the club", and that Benfica are interested. Also mentions an "altercation" which led to an injury, and perhaps a falling out with the manager.

What's he charged with?

Haha

Bring him in Malky. If Benfica are tracking him and he's available on a free. We get him

Indeed, Benfica won't give us Cardozo we will pinch their players and targets.

Remember the last Ligue 2 player we signed following a trial?

Rudy.

Every time a transfer rumour comes on this site (and most are described as having potential, though obviously not good enough for their current teams) we have people saying "fantastic sign them up" or words to that effect.

Has anyone ever heard of any of these players before ??? Seems to me we are looking at untried, unexperienced players to keep us in one of the toughest leagues in world football.

A bit surreal we are after players who are also linked with top clubs.
