Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Good debate,but I think your underestimating Coley if you think he’d sign a crock.
First the player would have to pass a medical,secondly,Coley knows he can do a job and trusts him.
Piero is a decent player when fit,but his defensive work never got the credit it deserved.
Can he play at league one level ?, my answer (after watching numerous games last year) would be yes.
Hence,that’s why Coley would add him to the squad.
You need two players for ever position,and I genuinely believe he will do a job when called on.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

He played half a season. Scored once - none in the league. On fancy money ......
There are better options if you get out there.
A lad called Conor Grant played for the Everton kids against us not long ago and starred.
Got released and within 48 hours Derek Adams takes him to Plymouth.
These are the type of players we need.
Any news leaking about Dunne ?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

thats pne ex player i would certainly have back.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Interesting comments 28
Piero struggled with various injuries last season,and really tried to comeback to early.
Quoting his last years stats,I presume you watched him regularly?.
I only saw him a couple of times at the start of the season and he was very good.
If you have a run of injuries,does it make a bad player overnight?,I bet there’s a few posters on here who have seen him play numerous games and can count on one hand his bad games.
He’s proved that he can play and the manager “trusts” him,so that’s good enough for me.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

So, 28, presumably it's just any former player that might challenge for Clark's spot that you're against? :rolleyes:

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Absolutely not. As examples I wouldn't have Pearson, McCartan, Crooks either.
I've simply opened a debate about obsession with ex players.
I haven't seen one rumour on here about a player not previously connected with the club.
We need a keeper urgently as back up or even to start, we need a centre half if Dunne isn't coming back, we need a centre mid, and we need a striker.
Any suggestions other than players who haven't played for us before ?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

I saw him enough and spoke to others to know he had a poor season. I haven't said he's a poor player - simply that he's not right for us.
We're league one now and taking on injured league two players is not the answer is what I'm saying.
Oh and the daft money he's paid .......

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

For the record I've never underestimated Coley.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

How many of our players are proven division one standard?.
It’s always a risk,but in ex players,you know what your getting.
Don’t forget Coley has seen him up close for years.
Winning breeds confidence,so I expect a fast start this season.
I would imagine Piero would have to take a pay cut,so that will provide motivation to succeed.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

I read from your comments then that you think it’s a done deal ?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Anyway I’ll throw one in the hat if we don’t get Dunne back.
Lewis Gibson Everton.
Available on loan. Fleetwood already making moves.
Fantastic talent one to watch.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

? Thought one of the reasons apart from the MONEY that Mingoia left was to be nearer to his family.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Also his woman,

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

AH quoting that 3 deals are done bar the shouting. Wont say who or what position.

By the by TwentyEight, why wouldnt you take Pearson?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

He left and contrary to popular belief the club got a raw deal.
He’s under contract at Barnsley so you can bet your bottom dollar the fee will be more than we got ......
Just think there are better options.
