All Paid For
Dan Alstani started small in the transfer market, with the S$74000 capture of Chinese free-kick specialist
Fu Wenlong, from Hubei club BCR. Originally from the youth team of famous multi-time Dragons Elite champions Luzern Swan, Fu moved north in search of playing time upon graduating from their legendary Swan Talent academy, and stayed with the former Division Two giants since.
Thirteen long seasons have seen BCR get no further than the fourth division, alas, and the now thirty year-old Fu figured that it was now or never, to try and strike out again. There would be strong interest from Icelandic IV.43 side Boreal Nuraghe, but also Bayernspor (Turkish Division Five), Atletico Farfa (Italian Division Seven) and Halfmoonstreet Football Club (Italian Division Six).
It wasn't a hard choice to make once Grilled Birds registered their interest, that said, as Fu leaped at the chance to settle in the Lion City. "Yes, of course I've heard of Singapore." the longtime BCR Number 55 said. "A few of my relatives have migrated here, in fact. I'm happy that the Birds are giving me this opportunity."
