Gifted Busy Bees playmaker Tan Ming Ho chose Spanish Division Seven club abelleira team over Germany's FC Druppi in the end, and put his signature to a S$52000 deal. This could be considered as modest for a player who, in scout Daud bin Radiman's words, is probably among the all-time top three pure midfielders that the Bees have ever graduated.

"And yes, that includes our guys like the Wangs, Sazwan, Safari and the rest." Daud clarified. "Tan is a great student of the game, he actually studies the top stars like no other. It's unfortunate that he couldn't commit to us earlier and came out a year behind, else he'd be in the national U-20 reckoning, easy."

Cabeça Dinossauro Clube de Futebol (Brazil Division Five) and Deamylord FC (Turkish Division Six) also made approaches for the rare talent, but Tan was adamant about going to Spain. "In my mind, there's no better country for midfielders right now."
