Portugese central defender Mauro Alexandreda Silva Almeida
See fishy site.
I'm calling him MASA, aint gonna try to pronounce that lot :)
 
Jimbo I never said we wouldn't sign anyone I just thought hoped we hadn't given up cos we'd missed out on all our targets and went on holiday!

Glad he's a defender. I was worried with all that crap about Donaldson and strikers from Scotland cos it's at the beck were our problems are. Hopefully he's a foreighn lad who actually gets a game and not just here to warm the bench like Julian was. Still think we should've kept him.
 
Never mentioned any names Mavvy :) Guilty concience? ;)

I was going to add that its a defender too.... (NOW Im going to mention names) .....

















Jeff... :)


Jimbo T :horn8:blower
 
Dosen't actually say they have signed him.He could well have 'hitched' a ride back to visit an elderly aunt in Dingleland.
 
It says ' will cope admirably with cold wooden benches in the middle of Western European winters.'



bit of pedigree about him by th elooks of things, I hope he's here to stay. Club statement please!
 
Just been up to the ground watching the lads train - really brought in the crowds, must've been all of a dozen people there! Not much to report really, the new lad looks good from what we saw, tall and strong looking. Good to see Cav training, not fully with the rest of the lads but still it looks like he's almost there.
Also nice to see Leighton McGivern & Danny Ventre making tentative steps on to the pitch, poor Leighton at one point looked like a toddler learning to kick a ball for the first time. No sign of Bavs, Fearo was in the nets - he did ok as well.
 
Dunbavin was there, but just sat in the stands. I saw McGivern, Ventre and him having a stroll in their tracksuits on my way to the ground. McGivern also tried to jog at one stage, but had a very bad limp and gave up after about five strides, so I can't see us playing him for a long time yet.

The only other interesting thing about this morning was watching Toddy try to explain what the next training drill was to the new bloke. It was a case of talking slowly and loud in pigeon English which always seems to help!
 
Yea, I was told afterwards that Bavs was there but was in physio most of the time. Don't know why Toddy was talking like that to the new lad, according to Eric he is fluent in three other languages apart from his own, English, French & Spanish.
 
Taken from Sky Sports Website:-


Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman is on the brink of signing Portuguese defender Mauro Silva Almeida, as they look to safeguard their Football League status.
The League Two strugglers have returned from their training session in Spain with former Porto centre-back Almeida in tow.
Stanley do not return to action until 3rd February when Chester City are the visitors to The Fraser Eagle Stadium.
And a club spokesman has come out to clarify the situation, as it seems a mere matter of time before Almeida completes a move.
"The team only got back from Spain last night. He is just on trial at the moment but he is going to sign soon," a club spokesman revealed. Stanley are currently 18th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone though, and will hope Almeida's experience can help them preserve their League status.


Must admit He did look strong in Training this morning.
 
Did you notice the plane flying over during the training session? Spying on the Stanley of course !!!

This was Accymad.
Forgot to sign out :rolleyes:
 
Thanks for the all info. The new hombre sounds promising. Pity about McGivern though. I was hoping he'd recover quicker, as I reckon he'd make a real difference. No sign of Boco?
