transfer activity

admidst the waves of transfers going around during this annual summer shopping spree, much speculation has been made regarding the bobo lobos' involvement in market. the frantic transfer activity has seen man utd sign hargreaves, nani and anderson; the lobo fans think they at least deserve something to be excited about.

"i think we're at least as big a club as man united, chelsea and liverpool, esp pool. real madrid wants kaka, barca wants cristiano ronaldo, and yea.. though we have our own ronaldinho tay and cristiano zhipengo, we need a new breath of fresh air. and some handsome new faces," said the spokeswoman of lobos supporters' union, the sexy bombshell miss kitty bimbola.

the statement holds some truth. despite bobby gerrard and joe ho's return from injury, disaster has struck the team:

ronaldinho tay twisted his knee while chasing after a lost cause in the match against swai-ji.

cesc fatzegas involved himself illegally in a charity match which saw him hurt both knees.

nemanjang weedic kept himself in the news with a viral fever, and then promptly knocked himself out with some hard liquor.

walter sumuel has turned up for training looking very tired, suspicously looking like a dude having an unwanted sex hangover.

faberto carlos reported to the medical officers, complaining of stomach pains and subsequently turning up late for sessions and matches.

however, wee der leong has had some serious steroids for the last few matches. he has repeatedly thrown himself at loose balls and dangerous looking feet, which is rather disturbing. cristiano zhipengo has turned up more regularly, and despite not finding his scoring boots yet, has shown some lethal form. cong scholes has remained his usual consistent self. leo chunavaro displayed some enthusiasm regarding attacking, which in normal circumstances would be quite worrying. hence it's not all that bleak.

gaffer hoberto mancini has been diplomatic regarding the transfer news.

"with ronnie tay and cesc tze down, we do need an attacking edge," said hoberto. "however, i'm confident that we have the players to step up. of course, any reinforcement candidates which the players have in mind will be seriously considered."

"the main issue now is attendance. there's no point being ronaldo if you don't turn up. in that sense, even pennant is more useful."

hoberto is understood to be fiercely loyal to his players. however, the loss in the previous match saw a whole team of attackers lined up against the opponent, which no doubt left most supporters bewildered. spokeswoman bimbola was esp vocal in the protest, and for weeks after there were rumours of a new defender. hoberto moved in swiftly to squash them, but with the latest injuries and discord, one or two players would fit in nicely. names have been mentioned, old friends have been talked about.

the next month will reveal all.
