Minürman
Sazwan bin Hj Muhd Salleh made good on his pledge to address Grilled International's minor personnel crisis, in following up his purchase of Binder with that of North Macedonian attacker
Minür Nurettin Tütsü. The 35 year-old might not have exactly shone at Egyptian Dawry El Momtaz strugglers SVZ'19 Hurghada, scoring just the once in his two and a half months there, but this came after solid stints with Slovenia's FK Tanád Horná Roveň, and mother club FK Zapad - three-time Macedonian national cupwinners - before that.
"At S$2.3 million, Tütsü was too good a bargain to pass up." Sazwan claimed, as he introduced International's latest Number Nine. "The loss of Ben Mimoun and Bezhanishvili put us in something of a spot, and with his experience, we are all expecting that Tütsü can step in and do a job for us."
Detractors warned that the player had not been the most flexible of teammates, and had butted heads with Northern Irish partner Daniel Leach amongst others in his time at Hurghada, but Sazwan waved those concerns away. "What's the point in bringing these rumours up now?"
Over at Grilled Birds, 17 year-old defensive trainee Ng Ying Chu left on a free to venerable Geylang club Hoseh bo, currently competing in III.11. Swiss head coach Camille Cerveaux has recently also acquired Lu Kwang Hock from Bak Kut Teh Brawlers and Fei Yun Xin from Arcturules, towards reconstituting his squad.
Chicken Wings scout Lim Hock Puay felt that Ng's robust style would put him in good stead, especially against older opponents. "Some players have that fire in them, and Ng certainly qualifies."
