Buzz Goes International
Grilled International divested themselves of three trainees right as the new season started, as Chow Han Dong, Gillen bin Hj Mohd Noh and Aqmal Hakeem bin Danial found new clubs. New YPOTS Chow was the most in demand, and eventually wound up at Finnish V.71 leaders hc lepra, following bids from seven other parties: Deportivo Tirol (Argentine Division Six), Górnik Zabrze/// (Polish Division Seven), Menudo FC (Mexican Division Six), FC Häsli United (Swiss Division Six), Phoenix78 (Italian Division Seven), FC Sun Hurts Me (Icelandic Division Four) and CSU Știința București (Romanian Division Five).
hc lepra paid just S$36000 in the end for the best Busy Bees defender of his generation, what with Chow combining pace, reading of the game and a willingness to bring the ball up into one very useful package. "I've not seen his like in Brunei really." Bees scout Zulfadly bin Hj Ratano commented. "They have gotten a huge bargain here!"
Chow's arrival would be eclipsed by the just over one million paid to F.C Plicationix for Spanish wonderkid midfielder Adrian Bateman on the same day, which didn't bother the Bees lad at all. "As long as I get to play, that is just pressure I don't need."
Also a central defender, Aqmal Hakeem bin Danial would be the one to link up in Silesia with Górnik Zabrze/// instead for S$10000, as he found local head coach Borys Czysz similarly appreciative of his hard man mentality. The 18 year-old becomes the newly-incorporated club's first-ever signing, and has pledged to live up to their trust in him.
Finally, 18 year-old Gillen bin Hj Mohd Noh left on a free transfer to German VI.1000 side VfB ole ole, as the multidimensional attacker's age worked against him. Often described as the template for a modern deep-lying forward, Gillen had been contemplating returning to school, but the offer meant that he was hosting a press conference beside fellow signings Frode Ali and Nery Zaldivar instead.
