Law of GBR
Midfielder Law Kiong How, 17, was nabbed by old II.1 nemesis FC GBR for S$256000, over the attentions of numerous prominent local clubs including another once-league-opponent Chinablack, almost S-League member GeoStarZ United FC and III.11 champions heimu XI. Royal Musketeers, an American Division Four team, were the only foreign customers but they dropped out of the race quickly.
Concerned fans were aghast at the talented Law, rated favourably against
Au-Yong Siu-Yue at the same stage, departing for the strong FC GBR, who very likely will contest Grilled in the future. The academy explained the low price, saying that Law was a very raw diamond. "He has the instincts and is useful at dead balls, but he has some catching up to do in other areas. If he were a better prospect than our current trainees he would certainly have stayed."
