---TELEGRAM---
Mortis Mercatoria FC today signed Tellian midfielder Francois Germaine. The 33-year-old expressed his excitement at joining the Lakhesian side, which has been landing some quite impressive signings during the week.

[Craitman]

As manager of Osĵätoņ Aztecs, I wish François the best in his career at Mortis Mercatoria and personally thank him for his services over the past two seasons.

[Malliki Tosha]

I hope he will do well in the Shirerithian league.

[Craitman]

He's definitely got the skill and experience to do so.

[Malliki Tosha]

If you don't mind me asking, why did you drop him?

[Craitman]

We're looking for younger talent to come through our team (he'll be 34 soon) and he wasn't our first-choice right-winger anyway.

[Malliki Tosha]

I'm gonna play him as an advanced central midfielder. His experience should prove valuable to MMFC.

---TRANSFER TELEGRAM---
Mortis Mercatoria FC today finalised talks with two Craitish teams, Hänävissen-ó-Cräiteland and Róndlinga Diamonds. MMFC buys central defender Filipe Da Costa from Hänävissen for Cr 2.5 million, and loans young Róndlinga striker Lydveldt Jonmikeltsen until January. Jonmikeltsen scored five goals for his team during the 2010 season, and is keen on getting time on the field during the Craitish off-season.

"- Da Costa is a player with experience from perhaps the best league there is. His contribution to the team will be massive, and hopefully he and Nuño Santos Gomez will form a great central defence", team coach Pitïlo Shamosa said today to anyone that would listen. He continued, "Jonmikeltsen is 19 years old, but is already scoring goals in the Craitish league. Hopefully he will contribute in our quest for the title".

Most expensive signing within SAFL.

[Malliki Tosha]

I like to spend.

[Craitman]

I like to spend.

I've noticed

[Malliki Tosha]

Note: Hammish national team winger Billy McVeigh has been signed from FC New Vaduz for Cr 5 Million.

--- ANNOUNCEMENT ---

Manager Pitïlo Shamosa has named the captain and two vice captains of the squad for the upcoming season. Giacomo Tedeschi has been named captain, with Tor Svensson as first vice captain and Francois Germaine as second vice captain.

[Malliki Tosha]

Mortis Mercatoria FC today announced the signing of Valencian national team defender Gonzalo Reveillere and national winger Santiago Javier. Both got four caps in the World Cup. Both players are signed as free transfers.

[Craitman]

The same Louis Ducourtioux that moved to a team in Hamland earlier?

[Malliki Tosha]

Shush you.

[Malliki Tosha]

Philosophy changed. The "balanced attacking" means that MMFC will look to attack, but not to the extent that we jeopardize our defense.

[Malliki Tosha]

Formation changed to 4-3-3:
Frederico
Tedeschi - Santos Gomez - Da Costa - Harmett
Svensson
Germaine - Nick
McVeigh - Smith - Bale

This means that Jonmikeltsen and Monto are benched. I've also designated subs (7), so please add those if possible.
