Why would we play a player from another club just so he can get match fitness?

Probably only played to see if he could interest WBA. ;)

To confuse things further, he's not in their squadlist (I believe this has all already been mentioned, but hey).

But has a profile if you google it:

And contradicting Fry:

Meanwhile the Shrimpers have yet to make a decision on trialists Rene Howe from Peterborough and former Plymouth defender Chris Barker.

Also:

Posh are also trying to shift strikers Rene Howe and Ben Wright plus winger Dominic Green.

He also featured in last night's youth-team game at Banbury United.

Good ol' Mark Lea talking out of his arse again! I don't know whether he means Howe or Gargan played against Banbury, but neither of them were in the squad last night. :?

Sam Gargan is a former Brighton player who went out on loan to Lewes during their only BSP season. For awhilehe didquite well, scored a few for a very weak team.

He may well be on trial with us as a recommendation from Keehan who would know him quite well.
I am not too sure but he may also have played as loanee for Eastbourne.

He did:

Howe played for a Peterborough XI last night against Bedford and apparently looked good. http://www.bedfordshire-news.co.uk/Spor ... -Green.htm.

Today's ET states that we're unlikely to sign Howe as he wants to stay in the FL.
However he was very complimentary about the club and didnt rule anything out should he fail to net himself a deal with a league club in the next week or so.

Balls. I was really hoping he'd sign. Nevertheless, the is still a chance.
