Ceres Negros FC is driving other PFL clubs to the transfer market with the unveiling of their mega s

Ceres Negros FC on the 17 of January unveiled their new signings to the general public and the presentation of the players signaled a big statement of intent not only to the potential AFC cup opponents but also to the PFL clubs that may be lacking behind in the transfer market. The club's statement read: "In preparation for a challenging 2017 AFC Cup campaign, Ceres-Negros FC has recently announced their new players last January 17, 2017 in Bacolod City. The new signings were a mix of national team veterans and new foreign players to beef up this years campaign. Local signings included veterans in Simone Rota, Jason de Jong, and OJ Porteria with Azkals greenhorn Jim Junior Muñoz and U23 standout Joshua Grommen. Ace goalkeeper Roland Müller was finally presented after six months while Iain Ramsay is still in Australia after signing from the night before." "New faces abound for Ceres with Japanese defender Kota Kawase and Spanish players in defender Manuel Lopez and striker Fernando Ortega. Kawase came from Wollongong Wolves in Australia’s Second division while Lopez and Ortega came from Caudal Deportivo and FC Cartagena which are both in Spain’s Segunda Division B." With Ceres season starting on February 21 in the AFC cup against Tampines Rovers or Geylang International FC in Singapore, they have already started their pre-season friendly as the squad already in the camp went on to beat collegiate squad Ceres-La Salle 5-0. In following Ceres footsteps, I hope that Global FC will present their team to the fans before they kick start their first game in the AFC Champions League preliminary stage on the 24th of January against Tampines Rovers of Singapore in the Rizal Stadium.
