“ OMER RIZA ON HIS FIRST TRANSFER WINDOW “

Thu Jan 30, 2025 4:38 pm

OMER RIZA:

"I've really enjoyed My first transfer window. “


"It's been quite smooth and I haven't really gotten flustered with anything. There have been disappointments along the way, you hear of things that should have happened and promises along the way, you can't control all those things, but as long as you've got options to replace them you're in a good place.”

"At the moment I think we have brought in two very good players for the future of the club - granted one is on loan, but you never know what could happen further down the line if we finish the season strongly.”

“I have to thank Sri Vincent Tan for his full backing.

Pleased with the window so far.

A winger and a LB and it couldn't have gone better really.

2 good signings, hopefully another 1 or 2 to follow before the deadline.

That last line grates on me though...'I'd like to thank bla bla bla'. Swear that quote is written into a clause in our managers contracts.

He says what others have stated about sighnings? for one reason or another players have not sighned so nothing to do with club but more to do with player or parent club..... funny this reason is not accepted by people when players don't come here.... unless of course riza is telling porkies under the orders of tan?
