Going With The Wind
Feng Darong didn't cut an especially happy figure as he trudged off on the losing end after nearly two hours of slogging, and noticeably spoke to no-one as he headed straight for the tunnel. Grilled coach
Han Lik-Tsun admitted that the 25 year-old homegrown winger had handed in a transfer request, after being kept to a single league start for the Birds this season.
"Feng knows that he hasn't been in the best of form lately, and another problem is that he's effectively competing with Penati for the only wing spot, with our commitment to a three-man attack." Han said. "To be frank, a move would probably be best for all concerned, since I can't guarantee him much game time in the future."
"Having said that, we're not in a hurry to sell." Han continued. "I have advised Feng to take his time in looking for the right club, and we will accept no less than S$5 million for him. Just last week, we received S$140000 from a sell-on clause for a former player, Chowdhury, who moved at S$4 million. Feng's quite a bit better, in my opinion."
