New signing?

[fraser]

I hear from one of my many sources that we have signed a striker from montenegro. Don't know if this has been mentioned. Apparently he averages around 35 goals a season.

Hope they were'nt recommended by Luis Suarez ?!!

What kind of source is this? A good one like a club official or someone in the press or your father's long lost cousin's best friend's aunt's butler?

His name is Darko Faddenovich, seemingly Motherwell and Sunderland were interested. IHE knows his cousins neighbours therapist brother James

Sounds like a good signing. I think he will do well for us. Hopefully he plays against Ross County and scores lots of goals so we can win the game.

Heard this one on friday from a little birdie at the club, altough i was told he was portugese! and a wide player.

[Yngwie]

He'll be one of those Portuguese-Montenegrans who can play in a variety of positions.....

[RiG]

Don't know anything about this guy but I think he could go on to be an ICT legend.

[TopSix]

I'll be putting money on him getting a hat trick on Friday!

His name is Andre Martins. Got it completely wrong he is Portuguese. His Twitter @AndreMartinsAM makes it seem like he's signed anyway

[Yngwie]

There's more than one Andre Martins, but I'm guessing it is this one.

Let's hope he's better than his career history suggests.

Edit - seems to have had a trial at St Mirren 2 years ago http://news.bbc.co.u...ren/8990673.stm

Also had unsuccessful trials with both Dundee teams in the summer of 2007, and Dundee fans weren't impressed with him when he played in a friendly v Arbroath. Had a trial with Partick that summer too, and scored in a friendly v Stenny.

Apparently he averages around 35 goals a season.

At his last 8 clubs he seems to have averaged 0 goals a season if wikipedia is correct. I'm guessing the figure you quoted dates back to youth level when he was apparently incredibly prolific. As was Russell Duncan

Let's wait and see before we start judging the fella.

[Renegade]

Agreed, but considering just a couple of months ago we were told their was no money left for any new players, it seems a bit strange to now bring in yet another player, especially one going by Wikipedia has played a grand total of two games in his entire career!

Oh well, here's hoping he's another Jonny Hayes and not another Gil Blumenshtein.

I just hope Terry hasn't been fooled with a DVD of the Andre Martin who plays for Sporting Lisbon!

[Yngwie]

If the guy is here at all it will only be for a trial, surely. I can't imagine that we would be signing players we haven't seen in the flesh. Not these days anyway.

[AJS]

If he's Portuguese then lets hope its another Figo instead of a Paxiao

[caley100]

We seemingly have a deal where we are not picking up any wage bills for Roberts or Blackman. no bad bit of business.

[RiG]

Haven't seen anywhere reporting this story but I still think he will end up being our top goal scorer this season.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

He has had more clubs than Jack feckin Nicklaus.

[KingBeastie]

I think he'll go onto be first minister.

[Alex MacLeod]

So, is he from Montenegro or Portugal? Does he average 35 goals a season? If so how come if he's only played two games? With all the golf he plays where does he fit in the time to score? And whats he on trial for? Does he even exist? One of my children had an imaginary friend as a toddler. Maybe this guy's someones imaginary friend.

[caley100]

Met the guy at the stadium today Alex, he does exist! nice bloke, looks like davide fernandez of airdrie/celtic etc , last club was wait for it..................

La Paz in bolivia where the stadium is 3800 mtrs above sea level, now he trains at Ardersier... 1 mtr above sea level!! seems he is on trial, but not sure if he's signing or not, tell ya later.

[+DoofersDad]

Never mind about signing him - just make sure he buys a ticket for Friday.

Good news - it sounds as if it is a significant downgrading for him.
