It's been a crazy week in the transfer market. Relegation Fodder manager Dave Parker offloaded star players Keirrison and Marek Hamsik just days after allowing fan favourite Ever Banega to leave the club. Keirrison joins Honka of the AEFA Premiership for a fee of £2m, but Fodder fans were particularly unhappy that Hamsik was allowed to join SFA Premiership title rivals Nottingham Arna, despite a healthy transfer fee of £2.8m. Parker stated "I have full confidence in the ability of the players already at the club to take this team forward".
Big spending Rafa Popovic's King Krimson completed signing of midfielder Romain Blanchard from Cardiff United for a fee of £6.75m, making him the most expensive player in the world post-Crash. The deal has been part funded by the departures of Elvir Filipovic (£3.5m to Aletheia FC) and Luka Modrik (£2.8m to Razorshot FC).
ZenEagles completed the signing of Brazilian midfielder Willian in a player plus cash deal that sees dominant centre-back Gerard Pique and £1.25m head the other way to Inter Blues.
Andy Parkes Dueling Dragons' complete a double deal, bringing in Maor Bozaglo for £2.5m from Strawberry Fields FC on the same day Karim Benzema arrived in an exchange deal with Harlesden Harriers for Javi Martinez, who only signed for the club earlier this season. Questioned on Martinez's short stay at the club manager Parkes responded "I was in the market for a high quality striker and Benzema certainly fitted the bill. It meant parting with Martinez in order to make him a Dragon, but managed to secure the signing of another long term target Bozaglo".
