Excitement was building at Metelo Park last night as two more signings came on the back of the league being set-up by admin Eaglesrjh.
Jaap Cruz arrived at Totaalvoetbal bringing with him a wealth of experience to a backline which, in truth, was in desperate need of it. It is believed that the 35-year-old defender owes much of his success to a dedication in training not seen in many of his counterparts.
Meanwhile, Nicholaus de Bilde slipped in almost unnoticed in a 426k deal to provide back-up to the strikers whilst also looking to develop his own career. Scouts picked up on his thunderbolt right foot and while he might not feature too many times in the coming season he is sure to learn much from messrs Dean, Izuhimovic and van Diemen.
Robin Meeblind explained he was still on the lookout for a backup ‘keeper but was happy to bring in Cruz after a long search:
‘We’ve had disappointments in our search for a defender,’ he began.
‘We’ve been outbid at the last minute, we’ve been foiled by the seller letting go hours before the deadline just as we were biding our time, we’ve seen negotiations within the league be fruitless so patience has been the key. This may be the key as we look for cover for Leemans too.
‘Thankfully, this patience has paid off and we hope Jaap will do a professional job in there.’
Meeblind went on to speak about the excitement of seeing the season’s fixtures laid out:
‘Firstly, Eagles has done a magnificent job in replacing managers and we look to have a great batch ready for Season Six. At the club we want to send our thanks for his hard work.
‘Secondly, could he have given Totaal a much tougher start? We have last season’s top six in the first six games. We’ll certainly know where we stand when we have finished with that little lot.
‘We wouldn’t have it any other way, though.’
