Toje Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Apparently, Fernando Aguiar is back playing after a 5 year break.... and at the age of 41. He signed back in November 2013 with Pedroucos in Portugal. http://www.maisfutebol.iol.pt/pedroucos-maia-benfica-af-porto-fernando-aguiar/5284f8afe4b003421eb08f90.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the problems he had with various coaches and players as well as with various posters here when he used to post, I found the following humourous: 'I looked in the mirror and not see a possible coach there. Now I think different way. There are players who just make this transition, go immediately to coaches, but it also forces working behind the scenes, to get along with certain people. I'm not like that. ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Paco Deckers is still in Holland: http://www.sc-heerenveen.nl/nieuws/a1-walst-over-eersteklasser-hzvv-heen/10 He seems to stand pretty low on the depth-chart. They misses a lot of players and he only got on in the second half. Anyway I saw another interesting name on that team: Daley Sinkgraven. He's a son of Harrie and he's already had first-team appearances. Totally irrelevent but interesting nontheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 What tier of football is this in Portugal, even? wiki has them at divisao de honra, which sounds regional, fine, but the (freshly minted) soccerway doesn't list what tier they play in, they seem to only track the first four tiers in Portugal, so I'm a little lost here. Transfermarket still has Aguiar as retired, which isn't helpful lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently the club sits in 3rd place, with the season scheduled to resume this weekend. http://www.zerozero.pt/edicao.php?id_edicao=59675 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associa%C3%A7%C3%A3o_de_Futebol_do_Porto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Di Chiara is unemployed again: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/joseph-di-chiara/leistungsdaten-vereindetail/spieler_181116.html For visual confirmation he doesn't appear on the Torpedo Moscow squad page: http://fc-tm.ru/team/composition (Hope I have that right) What an enigma. But at barely 22, this kid must have tremendous upside, no? Some decent footballing minds have seen something in him, presumably. I would be willing to wager that he falls under the "eurosnob" category, meaning he'd rather play in the Romanian fifth tier before entertaining North America, but I'd love to see a guy like this make the rounds as a trialist in MLS. Is he hungry enough? What are his skills like even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fussball_eh Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I have updated my very own table of Canadians in Germany. Of course I include all players with a Canadian passport, not only the ones who are eligible to play for the CanMNT. It's good to be back :-).

shamrock Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 A kid named Kennedy Owusu-Ansah will be playing for FC Inter of the Finnish Veikaussliga (1st level).

For me this midfielder is an unknown, but he's spend some time in Finland (in the second and third tiers respectively). Not an unknown. He was involved with our 2007 u20 team. Yallop gave him a trial at San Jose years back too. Wasn't he or his team involved in match fixing in Finland a couple of years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's hard to believe KOA is still only 24, seems like he's been around forever! He was still 16 (soon to turn 17) when the U20's beat Brasil in June 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yeah I remember this guy. Went through the NTC-Ontario program with Attakora and is the same age. I actually remember thinking he was the better prospect (he was also a defender) at the time. He also spent a brief spell with RSL a while ago, although I can't remember if this was a trial or time spent with the acadamey/farm team. Gotta think that some strong preformances now will put him in Floro's CMNT window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Got a link? Trial or contract? He's listed on soccerway.com as a member of their 2014 squad. Usually soccerway is pretty reliable, but in this case especially so because they show data (games played) about him for the 2012 and 2011 seasons, but not from the 2013 season. So I guess he's signed a contract with Inter for at least the upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Got a link? Trial or contract? He seems to have trialed for Inter Turku and like Straith it seems like trialists can play cup games but I can't find any information on him signing nor is he listed on Inter's player list. This is from January 24th: http://www.fcinter.com/uutiset.php?news_id=4168 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah I mean if it's on soccerway, it's probably ok, it's one of my main resources too. Odd that it wouldn't be on Inter's website, though...I'll add for now but keep an eye on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League Cup games have trialists and it's like Adam Straith or Pierre-Rudolph Mayard last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
