Johan Dewilde was transferred to Switzerland Division Six FC WB 2 to add some weight to their underaged backline, summoning a fee of S$294 000. Dewilde has seen 98 first-team appearances and eleven league goals for Grilled in his seven seasons, and only regrets he could not make the century.
Cronulla United and White Hot Rhinos (both Oceanian Division Five), power mans!!! (Peruvian Division Six), Atletico Old Boys (German Division Six), ESV Strassenmanschaft (German Division Nine), ToulouzetteFC (French Division Six), Pezudos FC (Portuguese Division Five) and Los Bufas (Spanish Division Six) were eight of the nine other teams lining up to take the steady defender.

Johan thus spurned the dark green of camei for the full-bodied light blue of the Swiss side. "Thanks for the memories," the stolid Dewilde said by way of farewell. "Falkbo will fill in more than adequately."
