Hi Domenik Bye Subri
Grilled unveiled latest signing
Domenik Bögengang, a 22 year-old forward described as an all-purpose attacker by his peers. A German, Bögengang is famous for both his fantastic leap and his set-piece accuracy, and even knows his way around on the wings. It is unknown how he has just 20 competitive goals so far, but pundits expect the number to grow drastically if he is given a starting place at Grilled, as is expected.
The Birds hammered out a hefty S$8.5 million fee with Milan side The Goalkeeper, somewhat over the odds, but Lik-Tsun insisted that Domenik's additional strengths were worth the premium.
"We were engaged in a bidding war with Team Sport Iksakuety of Spain for Argentinean star Saturio Miñano, and also considered others such as Facundo Bocanegra." Han revealed. "We were willing to pay nearly nine million for Saturio, and consider Domenik the slightly better fit."
Two places - Niedersachsen and Milan - figure heavily in Domenik's development, as he was raised in Lower Saxony and joined hometown club SV Bokeloh, before a month at lower division Italian club bullterriers. Homesick, he transferred back home to SV Klein-Karlsruhe, where he eventually became good enough to command a S$6.5 million fee from The Goalkeeper.
Part of the cash was raised by selling 33 year-old former Malaysian youth international
Subri bin Ku Zainol for S$4.5 million, coincidentally to a German side, FC Hamm Untited.
Subri leaves with exactly 150 competitive goals for Grilled, achieved in 149 matches, a very respectable record which puts him third on the Grilled all-time list.
He gamely posed for a few photos with his replacement Domenik, and wished him all the best. Domenik responded by saying that he felt that it would be a honour to wear Subri's No. 9 shirt, and gave Subri a few tips on the best food in his homeland.
