News: New roster and trade bait, come and get it!

New GM Buffon was quick to ring the changes on his return from Wales. The rain had left him in a thoroughly bad mood and swayed somewhat by the pixie on his right shoulder and the ale in his left hand the roster ended up looking like so:

Michalek Stastny Heatley
Vermette Connolly Ryan
Vorros Gaustard Neil
Demitra Cogliano Mueller

Spacek Lydman
Edler E.Johnson
Komisarek J.Johnson

Anderson
Pavelec

It is rumoured that Buffon was open to offers for all players and already has a few deals potentially lined up. Potential suitors are asked to queue up outside the main tent of the Circus Victory with plenty of World Cup 90 swapseys and a bag of strawberry and lemon bon bons.

Bumnote GM Driz is allegedly 'mightly frustrated' by Buffon's trade policy. Apparently he only has swapseys from sticker albums Argentina 78 through to Mexico 86 and all football league ones in between. He has also made an error in judgement with his choice of sweets, and is now left a 2lb bag of Rhubarb and Custard and half a hundred weight of Licquorice Allsorts!!!

Buffon was overheard saying that he was open to offers on the one condition that the package included more than one Bertie Bassett and less than zero Diego Maradonas.

French coach Jacques Lemaire apparently replied, "Oui oui Monsieur, Bertie is a delicacy and would no doubt attract talent like Kyle Wellwood" Buffon slapped him round the back of the head.
