Manan Makaned
Chicken Wings midfield graduate Manan Mohd Asraruddin Putra celebrated his seventeenth birthday by earning a contract with East Coast Division Four side Pouncing Tiger Sleeping Dragon, who took him off Grilled's hands for S$12000. The other interested parties were Geylang oldies Joker 9, who had actually submitted the first bid for Manan.
The Dragons have been extremely active in the transfer market recently, acquiring eight players in a fortnight, among them versatile midfielder Surender Mirza for half a million after the former Blackburn Rovers Fan trainee bounced about Europe for a bit, and also forward Ajay Guddeti from BDSM FC. Manan, however, rates his chances.
"I think I can force my way into the rotation, as I have always done." the strapping lad boasted, not without justification as he had wrangled a trial with the Wings on his own, after being rejected by BillionAire Youth - additionally, Manan dragged Ho Ze Wan, who failed to get into that side too, with him in a display of dogged determination.
