Aceval in the hole?
The rumours are boiling out of Chile today that The Reds are about to add a new defender to their ranks. If the Santiago media are to be trusted, then 28-year old centre-left back Miguel Aceval has already agreed on a contract with TFC and the paperwork is in the midst of being finalized by Major League Soccer.While not a household name in these parts, the 6-foot tall Santiago native has had a solid career in the Chilean top tier which began with South American powerhouse Colo-Colo. Aceval spent 2011 with Universidad de Concepcion where he managed 5 goals in 30 appearances. 2011 also marked the defender's first cap with the full Chilean national side in a friendly against Mexico.
Early scouting shows that Aceval can play on the left side or in the left-centre of the back four which could mean a covering role to Ashtone Morgan in the vein of Danleigh Borman, or in a best-case scenario - the ability to replace Ty Harden's current starting role at CB. Worst case scenario? Lots more Chile / chili / chilly puns all round!
WORD FACTOR: 8 / 10

Or...he could be a legitimate contender for the LB spot as opposed to being Morgan' back up. I read that he was a LB/LM player and not a CB candidate, so your hopes to get rid of Harden may be premature. I'd rather get rid of Iro, first.

ReplyDeleteTime to update or delate this article. Aceval was a bust. I think he came for the good times.
