The Big Signing
Hang Bao-Tam, a highly rated young keeper, arrived from Dunces United for $590000, slightly lower than coach Haupai's estimate. "We were fortunate that the other bidders lost interest quickly when they saw we were serious." he quipped. Bao-Tam will take over from Huel-sheng both his place in the starting lineup and his No.1 shirt. Huel-sheng expressed no hard feelings however. "Bao-Tam is obviously a better keeper. He's just what our team needs right now." Huel-sheng will now wear shirt Number 15.
Bao-Tam feted his predecessor for his faultless performance in the last game and revealed that he would be looking for some of Huel-sheng's experience to rub off on him. "I'm very happy to be able to command a first team place immediately, and continue as I did at United. Grilled Birds has a solid defense despite only being in operation for three days, and I am sure it can only get better."
