City travelled to Retford United on Tuesday night and the youthful Imps side won 3-2. City went 3-0 up thanks to a goal from Adrian Patuela, scoring his fourth goal in less than 90 minutes of wearing the Imps shirt over the last few days. He's certainly doing a good job in trying to convince the Imps fans that he is worth giving a deal to.
Peter Jackson has also confirmed his interest in the striker. Any deal is likely to be a loan deal because of Adrian's international status, but the Dimitar Berbatov lookalike certainly looks like an exciting prospect for next season.
Out of the three strikers who are on trial, he is the most likely to be brought in on some sort of deal. Dean Barnes is certainly ambitious, that situation is like something out of Dream Team. As for Sam Mullarkey, I still stand by saying that he is not good enough, and that's not because of his off the field attitude. I've seen Mullarkey play several times for Lincoln United and he struggled to make an consistant impact in a division three leagues below League Two.
City's next friendly sees them travel to Farsley Celtic on Saturday afternoon. All three strikers are expected to play.
