Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Good old Del Piero

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Rob and all;

That photo's as old as me!!

P's currently on his honeymoon in some exotic parts!!

Coley and Jimmy are finishing their LMA diplomas so rather busy.

He's a free agent so lets rule nothing in or out!!

And yes I know "nowt"!!

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

If he comes back we will have a surplus of wingers in the squad unless someone is on there way to pastures new.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

unless we are moving the ground down south i cannot see him coming back. loads of teams down there especially bankrolled non league sides that pay top money.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Yer a spoilsport Mark!

But apparently Coley IS close to agreeing terms with an 'Italian' winger

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

lewis alessandra ?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

What nonsense .....

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

When did Heywood Lancs get moved to the Adriatic ?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

could say the same for Enfield lol

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

In all seriousness in an injury prone season with a distinct lack of form for a distinctly average league two side .......... why on earth would Acrrington be interested ?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Because that's exactly the type of player our management team can inspire??? We know the potential is there we have seen it....

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

would not be the first player who moved to a club where their style did not suite them and get injuries. go somewhere else and everything goes back in place for em.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

so which ex player has come back to accrington and been better than before ?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Super Seany :D

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Can't argue wi that. he has.;)

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

ill get my coat lol

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

What sort of message would signing Pierro give to the diamond in the rough you have called Jordan Clark ?
Well done son but we want our old boy back.
You know what angers me more than anything in here ? The amount of talk about players who moved on and wishing they come back. Windlass Crooks Mingoia O’Sullivan Pearson ......... FFS move on !!!

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

There are certain ex-players who for whatever reason were fans favourites & who will always have a special place in our hearts & memories, so naturally when one of these becomes available or looks like they could be on the move it's only natural that there'll be some speculation, if only for sentimental reasons.
However, this does not mean that we think any less of our current crop of players - the lads who gave us one of our best seasons ever will also forever have that same special status.
Really no need to get so worked up & swear.about it :rolleyes:

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Totally agree and if Pierro did come back I,m pretty sure he would push these lads for a team place thus creating hopefully better performances but it is only speculation and a bit of close season bit of fun jeez calm down.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

both twenty eight and accymad make good points about ex players. think all fans at all clubs live in the past a little where good ex players come to mind. just leave it to our management who haven,t done too bad a job over the last few seasons in bringing to the club unknowns and one ex player who proved a lot of us wrong.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

You'll only be here until your player interest moves on - we're lifers.

The message it sends to current players is that you'll always be welcome back even if you move on for a few extra shillings.

Most of our players (the ones we want back) move on because their performances are sufficient that they are wanted by better clubs - so why wouldnt we want them back?

Id imagine Clark is being courted by other clubs, so when the pieces of silver are delivered we'll thank him for his services, wish him well and then take the wheelbarrow down to the bank. So wanting Del Piero back means that we're covered when that happens. Capichè?

Of course, we could always wait until the day before the season starts before we sell someone, then be up the creek without a Piero.

28, iq?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

No one is courting him because he is under contract.
I have a low IQ what is capiche ? Presumably another doff to the wizard.
If "Del Piero" had had a scintillating season I get it. He didn't and is still injured.
Dus tha gerrrit ? That's a doff to Clicker's origins.
Is the scouting system at the club such that we always start by scouring the ex players list ?
We're League One. Sign players who improve the squad.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Capiche = understand.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

When did a contract ever stop someone being courted (or looking for a move themselves)? It's well known Stanley won't (can't?) stand in the way of anyone moving onward and upward - the only difference a contract makes is that it won't be for free.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Assuming Stanley could afford it and that Piero gets back to match fitness (after his honeymoon!:rolleyes:), why wouldn't the club want the luxury of two players of the quality of Messrs Clark and Mingoia challenging for a place?
Can't imagine why any fan would complain at the prospect.
But I agree with Monkey; happy to leave matters that are beyond my control to Professor Coleman and Jimmy Bell.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

We got Kee, Chapman and McConville back and they did okay the last season, the manager and assistant too.

Haggis and Grimshaw came back and did well as Stanley legends.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

And you’ve never made a spelling mistake using an I phone ?
If that’s your sole line of attack my friend ........

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Ooh, ya sarky git!:D

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.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Where’s Andy said this ?
He’s very open with info for instance on Twitter but not heard anything like that.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

It was on twitter 2 days ago 28

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

"Few questions about new signings. There are 3 more or less done. Remember we act late in window because early on agent expectations are too high for us. That’s why we were annoyed at the @EFL change in the window, affects us disproportionately.
We have to be patient." Andy on twitter.... (can't do links...)

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

What is the connection between Twenty Eight and Clark? Is he his dad?...is he his agent?...or what?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

If (just for example) he was to come back it would more than likely be a result of not being wanted at Barnsley and them being happy to get him off the wage bill. I wouldnt expect to pay much for him. We once sold Ian Craney, bought him back (or let them off the monies still owing), then sold him again. - i think the fees were around 180k, 80k then 150k, but hard to say with all these undisclosed claptraps


Regards the fee received for Pearson, Andy said we got around 500k for him, McCarthorse and Beckles. That was poor in my opinion

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

You have a point 28,until the ink on a contract is dry,nothing’s guaranteed,but in my opinion Piero would be a good addition to the squad.
There’s a lot of diamonds out there waiting to be polished,it’s finding the ones who suit your system.
For me,we need numbers down the spine of the team,to complement what we’ve got

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

None of the above.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Number one fan?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

There are many in the queue in front of me my friend. He's a popular lad.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

So what is your connection to him?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Who says there is one ?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

I was told long ago there was a connection between you and one of our players, one that aint been mentioned on this thread?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

One or two seem to think so in this thread and you yourself have dropped hints in the past ("Let's just say we're close.").

So, is there a connection?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

I’ve known Jordan all his life - literally.
I am actually closer to the Captain.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

What does that matter anyway ?
Back to the thread.
Let’s see whether any signings are imminent - and whether any are ex players.
I asked the question earlier for any suggestions for signings other than ex players.
The silence is deafening.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Chris Long striker realeased by Burnley, Dunne back on season long loan or preferably permanent, Colin Doyle keeper just left Bradford.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Good suggestions.
Another one for you ...... Eastwood goalkeeper at Sheffield Utd.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Adam Collin as well released by Notts County.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

There’s loads of lads in the conference etc..
Ex academy lads who work and play as there’s more money doing that.
Possibly entice them to go full time now we’re in league one.
It’s a lot harder playing at that level than under 23s

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

[QUOTE=football19;1214489]There’s loads of lads in the conference etc..


agree with that. peterborough have gone down this road and found quite a few non league players. problem with stanley is the money which can turn out to be a good thing as they will only sign for us if they want to play for us and not after a few extra quid a week.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Way i look at it, if its a young un struggling to make his way in the game, and money is first consideration, then no good at all for us.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

One less ex player to be concerned about. Pearson to Luton.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Good luck to him in that dump all the money in the world wouldn't tempt me to live in that toxic dive.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

You don’t have to live in Luton to play for Luton. 3 year deal - good move for the lad.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Pearson shirt for sale now ... anybody?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Or play for that lot with their deluded manager and hooligans that call themselves fans.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Lets keep thing's "on topic" please!!

All when movies in and out do occur; which they will do prior to the "window" closing in August, please can we all "play nicely" on here!!:)

Last summer we sold 3 of our best assets and didn't get our 1st choice loan keeper.

The season didn't turn out too badly did it!!!;)

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

So, the rumours were true - welcome back home Piero :)

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Well Pierros back on a 2 year deal, I for one am really pleased thats happened, it will really boost our squad i reckon, Welcome back sunshine, and yer dad who also is a top geezer,;)

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

You psychic or what Rob? :D

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Agreed, mate, excellent news. Dunno about his dad, never having met the geezer.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Good news, welcome back to the Stanley, Piero.
S'funny, we had a chat with Mr.Mingoia at Crawley (he just couldn't stay away from Stanley) and caught up with things. Afterwards, Mrs.Exile did wonder whether we'd see Piero back!

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

I assume the upstart is me.
As a retired person I find that quite funny.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Met him at quite a few away games when i used to go with chubbyman, Hes a top chap steve.;)

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Good idea. Even Johnny Vegas started as a pottery decorator. We all have to start somewhere.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Great to have you back Piero. :)

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Brilliant news.
Now just need a striker, another centre mid and defender and goalkeeper for a decent sized squad.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

and not loose any we already have.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

I've already sent a good luck message to him and his dad.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Agreed Monkey.

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

No absolutely nothing about the latest signing Sam Finley. Big step up for him. So that’s two of the three ....... wonder who the third will be ?

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Centre Mid signing .......Sam Finley looks like a really good prospect...25 years old and lots of experience. Captained Fylde last season and scored seven goals. I reckon that he will really have the hunger to prove himself in the Football League.
Good luck Sam.:theband:
Welcome on board to the Stanley History bus!:mosher:

Re: Mingoia signs for Stanley
 

Wonderful to have Pierro back with us!:theband:
A fully fit Pierro will be a great addition to our squad!:mosher:
It will be nice to see his Dad on the terraces again too!
