Cole Lets Slip About Transfer Plans
Division 1 Defender Apparent Target
Dinamo Zagreb manager Jatex Cole unwittingly let slip about his transfer plans in the run-up to thie first league matches of the season. At an impromptu press conference held at their Hitrec - Kacijan football school training ground, where the players were going through their paces, Cole was commenting on the readiness of his squad.
"We are very strong in midfield this season, with Ivo Rados truly ready to lead the team. In attack, we are fairly competent too with Juan Manuel Gutiérrez de Cos having successfully made the transition to the first team. Defensively however we are a bit weak. But I'm looking to change this in the near future. In fact today, I have verbally agreed on a deal with... erm well I wasn't supposed to reveal that..."
Cole chuckled as the assembled journalists roared with laughter. "Well, since I have already let slip about that, I may as well tell you that he is a strong defender from the first division and we will be very lucky to have him. His club made a huge sacrifice in letting him come over here and we will be grateful to them."
The gaffer has already signed new players this season. Notable among them have been Olexandr Buryi from Montreal Impact, in a move taht saw Roy Keane going the other way in a loan deal and Arne Repvik from feeder club Brann.
"We have lost some vital experience at the back, having let club captain Damir [Milinovic], Thomas [Manfredini] and Salvattore [Lanna] move to Brann."
Cole rounded off the conference by stating that while Zagreb were in a rebuilding process once again, he was hopeful that the club could challenge for top spot and gain top spot, "The sad truth to Division 3C and what sets us apart from the other Div 3s is that there are only two sets of clubs here, those fighting for promotion and those fighting relegation. Of course, we certainly hope to be among the former. It'll be tough but we have belief in ourselves."
