TORONTO - An exciting chapter now begins for Pistolas FC as the offseason begins and a bevy of opportunities opens up to make this team more committed, more creative, more skilled, more defensive, and a hell of a lot quicker.
Having just barely missed out on the European Transfer Window which closed just yesterday, the likes of Christiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Benzema, Adebayor, Dani Alves, Samuel Eto, Didier Drogba, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are all locked up for the year.
But before the mad rush to sign players begins, Team Player/Owner Romerinho (formerly Mark R.), along with Co-Founders/Assistant Directors Davidinho and the Raging Bull will meet with newly appointed Assistant Director Steve Ward and Team Captain Charles Eppich to discuss the current roster situation and the direction of the club. The group of 5 will collectively assess and evaluate any possible free agent signings.
The news has already created a buzz online in chatrooms around the world and here at home. Rumours are swirling around about the possible reuniting of Andrew 'Big Laser' Eppich (Pistolas FC '07), to the lineup. And the transfer of of Julius "Jules" Auyeung from Aurora Celtic would be a massive move that builds instant street cred.
Roman 'The Rainmaker,' and Mike Saliba are among other well known names that have been thrown around as well as a standout defensive back well known to Gus.
"With so many players to scout and so many interested parties, we may have to hold a few tryouts," Romerinho said laughingly, "but invitations to our offseason scrimmages will help sort things out, " said Romerinho. "Even though we don't play again for another 8 months, the roster needs to be finalized and submitted to the league by February, which gives us only 5 short months to decide."
We here at pistolasfc.com are bursting with anticipation and excitement, so stay tuned to this website daily for any upcoming news.
