Rottman Released
26 year-old Swiss midfielder
Jon Andrea Rottman left for his homeland in a late deal sealed this morning, as Division Two Swiss club Swiss Allstars forked out the S$5 million minimum that Grilled Birds wanted for his rare talents. It was a paltry return considering the nearly S$3 million he cost as a teenaged trainee, but the buyer's market left Grilled with few alternatives.
"It's sad that Grilled had to let one of our top guns go, but he's been a great servant to us and we shouldn't grudge him a return to his own country." a post on an unofficial fan forum read. "Swiss Allstars were in Nationalliga A just three seasons ago, and who knows, Rottman may just take them back to the summit."
There were no takers yet for
Dragos Olaru, but the club reportedly is willing to wait for an offer above the mean on him.
