The Tampere Talon - Season 4 Preview

After a hard fought battle between themselves, Helsinki
Hellhounds, Robbaillie Escocia and Cockney Cockrells, Golden
Eagles FC emerged as division 2 champions! It was certainly a
tough fight for the Tampere based side, having spent much of the
season 3-6 points off the lead. However, that all changed during
the closing weeks of the season, when the teams around them
began to slip up. They even survived a scare on the last day,
after losing at home to Robbaillie, thankfully they had built up
a superior goal difference over Hellhounds, that saw them keep
hold of top spot!
Now Eagles find themselves in Division 1 and the board of
directors have given manager Dave Rosewell a clear goal for this
season, more silverware!
---------------------------------------------------------
Coming and Goings
To meet their goals, Eagles have had a busy pre-season in the
transfer market to bring in some fresh talent to strengthen the
team.
- First up English midfielder Bryan Prittwick, who was
impressive at Nikara Dragons last season was signed from the
Japanese outfit in mid-March. With young prospects Martin
Procházka and Jussi Härmäläinen going the other way (before they
eventually ended up at Hellhounds). The deal also saw Eagles
receive Ł30mil.
---------------------------------------------------------
- Next Eagles also signed Theo Taylor from Dragons a week or so
later. The deal shocked the Eagles fan base somewhat, as Alessio
Kovacic and Danik Marashko left the division 2 champions. It was
reasonable that Marashko would leave, as he was desperate for
first team action, having dropped down the peaking order with
Kai Matsumoto's signing late last season. However, it was a
surprise to see Kovacic leave, the Swiss attacking midfielder
having scored 13 goals in all competitions. Marashko then
reunited with Dave Rosewell no longer afterwards, at his new
caretaker team - Reykjavik Reapers.
---------------------------------------------------------
- There was still yet more surprising deals to come along
however. A monumental deal between Eagles and arch rivals
Hellhounds saw Jans Goisthalt and Min So Jouy, along with recent
signing Theo Taylor (who had only played 1 friendly game) leave
the club! Goisthalt scored 19 goals last season, while So Jouy
supplied 68 key passes and 8 assists, both players have been
instrumental Eagles' success and will be certainly missed by the
fans. Their replacements are top quality though, Jack Groves
scored 23 goals for Kyushu Yakuza last season (before moving to
Hellhounds) and Diog Guillems had a fantastic second half of the
season at Kingfisher Dolphins. American defensive midfielder
Spencer Mason also joined in the deal and is tipped to become
the next Rodrigo Desábato.

- Next up is young Belgian prospect - Andy Confente made a move
to United 1908, as the division 2 club look to the future.
Experienced Argentine midfielder Tomáz Moralez reunites with
Dave Rosewell, having played under him during his tenure as
1908's caretaker. Eagles also received Ł15mil in the deal.
---------------------------------------------------------
- Some auction activity next, Eagles signed Paco Chia from the
minutes release auction for a fee of Ł25mil, having missed out
meeting his required playing minutes last season while at
Kingfisher Dolphins. The Brazilian has been bough in as back up,
as the club ensures they have the number to cope with the longer
season. He is expected to put pen to paper once the auction
closes tomorrow.
---------------------------------------------------------
- Lastly 16 year old Uzbekistani defender Akram Miraz was
signed by the Eagles scout, as they cast their talent pool far
and wide for this season. The young lad will be hoping to make a
good impression and is tipped for great things.
