TRANSFER NEWS - JANUARY FREE MARKET

With the transfer market opening up and free transfers allowed until the first of February, player loyalty will be tested and many business lunches laid on in an attempt to lure in goal scorers.

Check here for the latest news on who's going where and why:

---

Ian HARGREAVES
From: Boca Seniors
To: Adletico

Details: Speculation is that Hargreaves has joined Adletico not for the glory, or the cash, but because he feels his style of play compliments the top FX outfits style of play.

Ian's comments outside The Boca Stadium "There has been a lot of controversy about me moving between big FX rivals. The truth is that Adletico keep their formation, allowing me to stay forward where I do my best work. The brown envelopes that Ken has been photographed passing me at lunch were Christmas cards..."

1. Juliano CHACON
2. Mark HAINES (Injured: Suspected 1 month)
3. Raj DAS
4. Perry SUTHERLAND
From: Highflyers
To: The Machines

Details: Arguably four of the best players for Highflyers, the advisory quartet have 5 goals between them and will undoubably be a move by Captain Lamine to supplement a team that lost Gugi Mandla in the transfer window to the Card League. Chacon has been crying out for a better delivery at the goal mouth and is a contender for the golden boot if serviced well on the field. Sutherland is a cool-headed, proven goal scorer in a crisis and Gambrill compliments the team nicely.

1. Lee GAMBRILL
2. Lawrence GRIFFITHS
From: Highflyers
To: EMEA ALLSTARS

Details: The Allstars lose their most prolific CDM, Andrew Thomas, this month and will be looking to fill the gap with strong defensive players capable of scoring goals like the Welshman was. Griffiths looked like the bookies favourite, being Welsh himself and not shy to stick a foot in where needed.
