Orest Come To Wrestle
Grilled Birds head coach
Tian Yonghang declared his recruitment spree complete for the season, with his S$5.6 million purchase of Polish striker
Orest Tokarz. Just turned twenty, Tokarz however looks every inch a man in his prime, with his heavily-muscled physique suggesting other, more brutal sports.
It would be incorrect to be misled by surface impressions, though, and Tokarz has proven entirely competent with both feet, in his time with Danish H.A.L Division Seven club Smørbagtescones med ost og chokolade, and then in France with VI.300 outfit Capdenaguet. Tian was taken enough by his potential to assign him the hallowed Number Ten jersey, last worn by
Kalki Parvathaneni, and before that by a host of Grilled legends.
Kalki reckoned himself impressed, and urged Tokarz to live up to the shirt. "I know I wouldn't want to stand between him and goal." the veteran joked. "Chan won't have to be our main target man for much longer - despite his goal return, it's never been his ideal position anyway."
The Birds had expressed interest in a couple more players before this, first in Bulgarian attacker Yordan Naydenov, and then Spanish matador Raúl Coego. "But Orest is honestly the best fit of them all." Tian continued. "We didn't really have an option like him in our squad before this."
