Show Me The Players!


With Euro blues finally well behind us following Spain's thrilling victory over the Germans, the spot light has once again shifted to the Summer Transfer season. With clubs like Chelsea and Real Madrid making audacious multi million pound bids for their targets, MPFC fans have been clamouring for the team to make new signings after a season where the team's lack of depth was exposed near the end of the season when they were plagued by injuries. The misfortune tainted a promising season in which the team expected themselves to finally break into the Big 4 and establish themselves as one of the powerhouses in world football.

" The poor finish to what began as a title worthy start was certainly a heartbreak for us as fans. We hope the board would make funds available to strengthen the team that already has strong foundations. So far, the deathly quiet transfer scene at the club is worrying us and presenting us with the possibility of another season without silverware", a view aired by MPFC fan Mars Cerlarmart.

When contacted, the MPFC board of directors were quick to reassure MPFC online that they were already in talks with team manager, Jacinth regarding the expansion of the team. A senior board member who spoke on the basis of anonymity later told us that the club was already engaged in advanced talks with certain transfer targets.

"The talks are kept under the veil so as to prevent them from being poached by other club scouts. We're confident of landing our targets, and believe that these players would introduce competition of places in this team and bring them to greater heights."

When faced with this question, team player Addison Bain only had this for us.

"Even if the board decides to stick with the current squad, we have no qualms about that. As a team, we believe that we can only get stronger and that is what we'll always strive to do. With a handful of players returning back from long term injuries, I believe they would be just as good as new signings for the club. Right now, what's important is that we continue to train hard and work towards the 09/10 season and make it a title winning one".

Will this be enough to assure fans, or will the unveiling of a new MPFC star be the thing that this club needs to give it that final push that it has lacked so far?
