36 year-old Pakistani fullback Nawaz Talib leaves after eleven seasons with the Birds, having made 180 starts and scored twenty goals since arriving from Nosepower for S$1.2 million as a 25 year-old. Talib, who gained an unfortunate reputation for late fouls as his pace went, also garnered four red cards, two in this season alone.

He will now don the white and blue of Rio de Janeiro side Administrando F. C., currently third in a Division Four league, who obtained his signature on a short-term S$600 000 deal. Talib declined comment on his transfer, and several teammates have privately revealed that he was unhappy at being frozen out of the Grilled starting eleven.
