Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Looks promising! Good playing record aswell! Hopefully this big guy can help stop our poor defence at the moment! Good Signing! Coley once again producing the goods! :)

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Will he be debuting tommorow night ???

Good call Coley :D

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Good news and hopefully he can do the business - will check him out in person for myself against Hereford, fingers crossed he can kick that 'Sheryl' bloke theyve got into touch (I know it Sherjill but Sheryl sounds more funny - especially on the Championship :) )

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

He is awaiting international clearance, so no he won't be playing tomorrow.

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

he has now gone home

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Where, Sligo?

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

foreign journeyman - could be perfect!

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

he wouldnt have been playing anyway , coleman seems to like putting new signing on bench for at least 4 matches .

A nosso novo defensor gigante ! Receba a Inglaterra ! tem respondeu as orações de Senor Depechemode. Sabe ira fechará a sua boca ? …talvez !! Três alegrias para Senor Coleman!

ON STANLEY....ON!!!.

Depeche...this is only a bit of banter....not a bitch fight !

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

i know i know

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Brilliant - we sign him for a month & have to wait 3 weeks for clearance - pure genius :rolleyes:

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

surely he got clearance to sign for charlton. so now he is in this country he doesnt need it again

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

he signed today but then got told he needed interntaional clearance to play a league fixture (and that it would take a while). Aswad then gave him a lift to Preston for him to get the train back home. Wasn't sure whether he would be back or not

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Still winding Alty fans up? ;)

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Without wishing to state the obvious, shouldn't we have checked all this out before he actually came up here (especially considering our previous track record in this area)?

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Doesnt surprise me in the least :rolleyes: but its bloody funny regardless.... Not saying who Im laughing at though but I think you can all guess :D I think theres the answer to 'Are we a league club and punching above our weight' in a nutshell.... (of which Im mighty proud of btw....)

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

So is he here or not? :confused:

Monteiro Set For Reds Debut (from Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

I think the idea might be to play him with Aswad, as it may give him a boost in performance to play with a familiar partner at the back. Maybe..? lol.

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

The move is "on hold" according to Charlton:

Charlton Athletic

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

not just us who mess the paperwork up ;)

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

maybe its just keep them guessing pure tactical genuis:D

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

He's now unsigned

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

What a mess !:rolleyes:

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

:confused: ON SKY SPORTS NEWS TEXT THAT CHARLTON DEFENDER MONTEIRO WON'T BE GOING TO ACCRINGTON STANLEY :eek:

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

heard a rumour he is going to wrexham:confused:

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

He can't go anywhere until he gets international clearance and by the sound of it the Romanian team he left aren't going to play ball very quickly

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

From t'fishy site: "John Coleman will now persue (sic) alternatives ahead of Stanley's trip to Rotherham on Saturday." Why fix it, if it ain't broke? :confused:

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

one swallow doesnt make a summer :rolleyes:

Sorry i had to, :D

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

unless its Summer Verona!!

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Looks like we might be signing the next Steve Bruce:

Stanley Take A Look At Dawson (from The Bolton News)

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

he sounds promising but young

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Depeche!...If they're good enough...then they're owd enough !...

(Let's hope that the Stanley's Youth Policy bears this out!..and produces a few home-grown 'stars' !)

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Talking of age Crystal Palace played a 15 year old ( televised game ) who played Watford off the park. He is old enough ( the Palace lad , Bostock ) to have attracted multi million pound bids from Barcelona, Chelsea etc. Age is never a barrier.

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

its a big step up for a young lad from unibond to league , i didnt say he wouldnt be any good just raw. maybe we need raw and ready

Re: 'big defender' signed
 

Co-incidentally, it appears that my hopes are bearing fruit already!.
Well done Bobby Grant !, a well-deserved accolade from the FA to reward the efforts that this promising and likeable young footballer has put into his Apprenticeship Training and Education ! .
So, we've got Martin in between the sticks, Bobby to net a bagfull of gals (that should read 'a bagfull of goals!!''early morning Freudian slip!!) for us, all we need is for our great Club to maintain it's totally worthwhile
and extremely commendable initiative towards assisting those in our Community, who have the talent and ability to take their skills to a higher level, and who knows the echoes of 'Scouse' ringing round our Dressing Room will at least be intermingled wi 'th' Accy twang ??'.

'WHAT ME WORRY?'....Not when I view the wider scene at the FES I don't !

'ON STANLEY!.....ON !!!!!
