"We've been in talks for a while with several clubs," she began, "and I am proud to announce that a deal was signed this morning with the Alamo City Battle to bring CJ Sapong on board for our 2012 BSL campaign. With a fresh, young striker up front who's guaranteed to generate some points I think it's clear that we're already on the road toward building that championship quality team."
Rose City receive Sapong and a fifth round Draft Pick in exchange for their first and seventh round picks. "This gives us the flexibility to grab an important piece of our puzzle now, rather than hoping he's still available when our late first round pick rolls around. Adding in the second fifth round pick provides a lot of flexibility to grab quality players who might be overlooked in the first few rounds and capture some solid substitute options. We're very happy with this move," the manager added.
Rose City FC obviously has their eyes on the prize and mean to contend in this, their first year. Whether their manager and front office have what it takes to bring the necessary talent home to the Rose City remains to be seen.
Confirmed, nice deal.
