Baller League UK: Transfer Window Done Deals

Deportrio - Jack McConnell Becomes Permanent Signing

Deportrio, who are managed by The Rest Is Football trio of Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, and Big Meeks, and are the favourites to win the competition according to the best online betting sites, were one of the first teams to make a signing in the first-ever Baller League UK transfer window. 

Deportrio moved up to second place last week and, in an attempt to bolster their ranks, signed Jack McConnell, who was one of the team’s wildcards, to a permanent contract until the end of the season. McConnell scored a thumping left-footed drive from almost half court in week four, which is now a Goal of the Season contender. 

SDS FC - Sharky Brings In Premier League Talent 

The second transfer of the window came from seventh-placed SDS FC, who made a big call to release John Jancewicz to bring in former Tottenham Hotspur Under-23 and Sunderland striker Kazaiah Sterling for the remainder of the season. 

The tension between SDS FC boss Sharky and Yanited manager Angry Ginge has grown in recent weeks and a fiery encounter was expected when the two faced off in game three of gameday seven. And boy, was it a heated game. 

Inside the first five seconds of the match, referee Mark Clattenburg handed a two-minute suspension to PK Humble, but the contest exploded into a full-on brawl in the final knockings when Medy Elito tackled an SDS player and left him in the stands. 

M7 FC - Arjun Jung Ruled Out For Season

Sidemen’s Simon Minter’s (“Miniminter”) M7 were involved in arguably the pick of the matches of gameday seven, going up against John Terry’s 26ers. It was a back-and-forth affair between two well-matched sides, and after a crucial game-changer, both teams were forced to settle for a share of the spoils. 

Minter made one key move during the transfer window, signing former wildcard Zaid Al-Hussaini to a permanent contract until the end of the season in place of Arjun Jung, who sustained an injury in the opening week and has not featured since. Jung will join Miniminter and Emmanuel Marfo on the sidelines as a coach for the rest of the campaign. 

Yanited - Angry Ginge With Another Controversial Move

Angry Ginge has created divided opinions over the first half of the Baller League UK season. Some can’t get enough of his quick wit and willingness to wind up opponents, while others feel he is living in a movie and needs to tone it down. Whichever side of the fence you stand on, one thing is for sure: he brings entertainment to the league every week! 

During the transfer window, Yanited were the only team to opt for a player trade, completing a deal with MVPs Alisha Lehmann and Maya Jama to swap Daniel Wood for Esteban Salgado. However, after completing the deal, Angry Ginge made a shocking move to release Salgado to sign free agent Mauro Vilhete for the rest of the campaign. 

Yanited and SDS FC could be facing repercussions for their ill-discipline on gameday seven, when both sets of players and managers emptied their benches and were involved in a heated melee on field where Angry Ginge had to be held back a rival player Bayley Brown.
