Bordeaux yesterday evening secured the signature of a long time target of theirs, in F_Kringe 17 RL ger 1 4 21 3 18 0 300 341 704 396.
Scott Matthews had the following statement to read at around 11pm.
"To say I am happy to have signed Kringe is a bit of an understatement! I have fancied the german winger since I first took control of Bordeuax, but never thought I, or the fans would get to see him play for us!"
When asked about the details of the transfer;
"Well, a player of Kringe's talent doesnt come cheap, and to be honest, Atalanta can wave him goodbye safe in the knowledge that the deal sees their squad strengthened a great deal. To sign him, we are losing the following three players.
F_Menegazzo 27 RL bra 2 3 21 4 17 0 300 332 408 302
G_Bellini 21 C ita 2 20 11 3 13 0 300 701 586 296
+
D_N_Gog, a 16 rated 16 year old forward.
As you can see, its quite a major move on both teams part, but as said, I am happy."
We next asked him why he fancied Kringe so much, and was willing to split his strong defence to sign him.
"Well, look at it like this. Kringe is already good enough to play in any AFM team, thats a fact. Add onto this that he has 4 seasons of youth bonuses left, I would expect him to be 23/24 rated by the time he is 21 years old. That is a fantastic prospect.
As for my defence, all it means is D_Placente 25 L arg 1 18 5 11 or F_Grosso 31 L ita 1 19 11 9 will be taking the step up to the first team. I am happy to play both as their secondaries make them far more appealing."
With that, Scott left us and drove home in his Hummer full of lady friends.
