Some of you may remember a few months ago ICT signed Portugese winger/striker Andre Martins. This was after a trial just after the start of the season, before hearing nothing more about him until his bizarre appearance on the bench in the 1-1 draw against Hearts a couple of months later. The following Tuesday, ICT had an U20 match which I was at and Martins played in. To be frank, he was terrible. His past is a funny thing as well. Representing Portugal a few lower levels and having spells in Venezuela, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Peru, Finland and Mexico, along with a spell with Fulham and trials at Dundee United, Morton and even Bayern Munich! There was also talk of Dundee and Partick looking at him a few years ago. Interestingly though, for many of these clubs he'd been punted fairly quickly, often (as in our case) failing to make an appearance, but always seeming to find a new club afterwards. I was having a week look earlier to see what he was up to now and amazingly he seems to be playing top division football in Brazil with Goias! That's when I came across this article (translated into English) - http://www.futebolinterior.com.br/clube/goias-go/253570+Goiano_Goias_contrata_meia_com_passagens_pela_Selecao_Portuguesa_Sub-20 Is he sending people videos of the other Andre Martins who plays for Sporting Lisbon? Is this how he seems to get club after club, despite hardly playing any matches? Did ICT sign him up on this video? What on Earth is an Arica Portal to Earth?! Sounds to me like Mr Martins is nothing more than a hooligan touting himself to any club he can find, in search of a quick buck. This does then beg the question - Were we conned?
