Returned Ricard
25 year old
Ricard Machado, who served Grilled Birds for more than four seasons as an attacking midfielder and bagged eleven goals for the club, went back to his native Spain on a transfer to Division Six club KoRn 666. The S$730000 move forestalled Machado's move to Sweden to either Da Winning Pipa FC or Validus FC, who had submitted slightly lower bids. Machado was not displeased at a homecoming, though he expressed regret at having to forego the extra wage component for foreign players. "Well, there's no place like home." Machado mused. "After starting out with Maccabi D'acostar in the Canarias, and playing with Sam Podestar in Barcelona, moving to Galicia to join up with KoRn 666 is natural."
Young striker He Ming-Tsong, 18, left on the same day as he headed for torasteam, a Division Five Portuguese team based in Lisbon.
