Transfer ins and outs

Although MTU's interest in Del Piero was released early as a little PR boost, the actual details of these and other ongoing negotiations have been a well-guarded secret even within the club.

At this stage as I have said all along, I don't believe Del Piero will sign and I say that with relief.

However Ronnarit has all but confirmed confirmed the signing of Edivaldo Rojas Hermoza, a Bolivian player out of Naval FC in Portugal.

Also inbound are North Korean Choe Kum-Sol and back-up goalkeeping in the shape of Amarin from Wuachon United.

Most likely out are Christian - that's been on the cards for some time - and Teerasil at the end of the season.


If this all stays as it stands now, I think we can commend MTU on excellent transfers.

New signings

Ri Kwang Chon (L) and Choe Kum-Chol (R)

Ri is a centre back and Choe is a striker. Both men have, until now, spent their entire careers in their homeland of Korea DPR and therefore we know little about them save for their national team performances. But our scouts are no fools and I'm optimistic that these two men are the final pieces of the puzzle.

If any Korean readers could suggest the best way to pronounce these names or any nicknames these players have, I'd be grateful!

After such a depressing end to last season, the close season has been managed superbly and it really is hard to imagine how the rebuilding and transfer movement could have been any better. 

Now though, the time for putting it all into action is here with a 1800 kick off this Saturday at home to Tero, meaning we're against Robert Procurer, Mika Chonessee (Thanks to all the Stattos who corrected me here - Mika is now at BKU:-) ), Rungsiyo, Nawapol Arromsowa and a whole other bunch of former MTU players. A win is vital.
