Port set to wrap up Ruella deal

After several weeks of procrastination, Thai Port have announced that Alex Ruella Da Costa, 25, will sign for the club tomorrow. The former Corinthians, Guarani and Siam Navy midfielder/striker will become Port's fourth pre-season signing, following the arrivals of Olof Hviden-Watson, Whoo Hyun and Pongpipat Kamnuan.

UPDATE: Thai Port have also completed the signing of Narat Munin-noppamart from Chiang Rai United. The 33-year-old defender has also had spells with Osotspa, Bangkok Bank and BEC Tero.

  1. So...looks like we have the defense and midfield covered but we still need someone who can put the ball in the net. What about the keeper? Can Wanlop handle the duties?

    1. I reckon Wanlop will get the number 1 jersey next season. I've got a feeling his form will be a bit erratic. He seems to be a good shot stopper, but his decision making leaves a lot to be desired. You could, however, level the same complaint against Munze (now with Isaan Utd).

    1. I think it is, yeah! Roberto Carlos definitely played for Corinthians in 2010.
