All Go for the new season

Go Leo look all set to start the new season, announcing the arrivals of three new signings today.

Goalkeeper Giuseppe Scognimiglio, defender Franci Ferraj & winger Ryan Owens were unveiled this evening at Lion's Way. Scognimiglio, 22 and Ferraj, 20, made their debut at the cup prior to the unveiling and impressed the Boss.

"They are not yet the finished article and they have a long way ahead of them. Both put in really good shift this evening."

Scognimiglio was rarely tested in the match against Tsv Spurfuchs, but looked commanding especially at set-pieces.

"We brought him in as an understudy to (Illyias) Fyntanis but I hope he starts giving me a headache."

Current number one, Illyias Fyntanis, has already declared his retirement at the end of the season.

The transfers of the three new playes cost Go Leo over $8 million and 11 tokens, which could be relatively considered a bargain. It was believed that interest in Ferraj was high and the Boss was obviously happy to have beaten rivals to his signature.

"The club was always on the lookout for a defender and I am pleased to have captured Franci, the boy can also play in the centre or left of defence."

"A couple of clubs were chasing him but in the end we got him. As for Pepe & Ryan, we had managed to keep it under wraps. I think their transfer surprised a lot of people."

The Boss declared that the club will not be bringing in anymore players for now.

"We've completed our piece of business for this season. I don't forsee the need to bring anymore new faces."

Today also saw the departure of Shahrol Samadi (GK), youngsters Giannis Abaris (MR) and Emran Firtina (DL).
