Orien Oldie
Grilled brought in only its second local transfer in over four full seasons of league participation, a fact that had fans flabbergasted when they were notified. "You know, I didn't notice that our club has not brought in a Singaporean since they got
Hang Bao-Tam as their first buy." die-hard Tan Yao-Kim realised. "Quite incredible. Maybe it has something to do with our midfield trainees being mainly homegrown talent."
Cheung Huel-sheng and Gai Chanh were bought by Grilled, but only after they were first released by the club.
Meanwhile, 31-year old catch
Shan Orien from Division Four club Mountain Turtle integrated sweetly with the team. The self-styled defensive libero confesses that his soccer skills have seen better days, but he knows a thing or two about bringing teammates together. "I'm working on a fishing trip right now." Seeing that keeping the multi-million dollar cast happy is top of the line for Bakunin now that the team looks balanced, S$130000 for Orien is a small sum to pay; It was only after strong competition from heavy Singapore trader All Stars Team, and foreign clubs Ottawa F.C. of Canada and Baietzasii of Romania that Grilled got their new player-theraphist.
