Sandy, Chan Leave
In an attempt to balance the books, Grilled sold American ex-U-20 winger
Sandy Edmond to Lithuanian Division Three side FC Riese for S$2.69 million, barely four months after paying S$4 million for him, and paying almost as much again for his wages.
"Edmond was a brilliant winger, but for what he offered, it wasn't worth bleeding a million dollars a month." coach
Marcus Liehner explained. "It is true that we will be without an established true winger for the first time in a long while, but we can make do with our counterattacking system."
Youth forward Chan Da Min left for Italy to hook up with Division Eight club Stéla Rusa Stàgn later in the day, after the seventeen year-old enjoyed a productive stint in the Chicken Wings that saw him a consistent scorer for the past year. "He made a mark coming in off the wings," youth trainer Roy Abraham remarked. "If he retains that willingness to cover ground, he will have a good chance at a professional career."
