Italian Jobs
Three offers of employment came in this Thursday for the academy youngsters, with Farmer Bunnies winger Lee Yew Kim happily leaving for Mexican V.227 club Crazy Milan, two days after turning eighteen. He will join Saint Vincent and the Grenadines hopeful Gary Markland as Juan Carlos Casas' first signings - and from these, it is not hard to guess that the Crazy Milan boss likes his players fast, and a little furious.
Lee's Rancher Rabbits mate Lincoln Aoki would receive a bid from Italian VIII.271 leaders Genoa cfc1893 instead, together with the Chicken Wings' Yusri Mahran. Already assigned the Number 22 and Number 19 shirts respectively, the 17 year-old strike duo would not get much airtime amidst Spanish goalie Jordi Miquel Costafreda's S$2 million acquisition... which was just how they liked it.
Rabbits scout Ooi Long Ming always had high hopes of Aoki, despite his lingering in the reserve list for nearly a season without any appearances. "He had all the tools to develop into a top centre-forward, beginning with his stature." Ooi commented. "As for Lee, he stayed a bit longer than we had hoped, but I'm glad it turned out well for him too."
Yusri Mahran was for one only too eager to make an impact, and confessed that he had been dreaming of this moment. "If I had to do food deliveries for another month, I might have even gone back to school!"
