Agents Select Oly Players

Three top players of King Faisal Babies recruited by Olympics have signalled their mother club not to proceed with negotiations with officials of the Wonder Club for their transfer.

The players are one striker and two powerful midfielders who has been scared by the crisis which have visited the club. Meanwhile agents from various clubs are swooping on the club's training sites in a bid to make their selections of the players for possible inclusion in their teams.

In a telephone interview with Mailsports, Ade Coker the club's dethroned president has said that ' I am really sad that this is happening in the club today, club-building is no joke. They allowed me waste my money to recruit players. I paid enticement fees, everything needed to be paid to the old players to keep their minds at ease and to also satisfy the new players. And they gave me a stab in the back. I have cooked it and they want to chop it.'

Asked about what his next move would be he said: ' Olympics is for us all. We only have to put down the necessary structures for the club to grow.'

While he was talking to Mailsports bboth the new and old players were decamping to their new destinations.
