BUCHAREST -- Romanian second division soccer club UT Arad sold a player in exchange for 15 kilograms of meat, local sport daily Pro Sport reported on Monday.
However, fourth division Regal Horia made a bad deal because defender Marius Cioara decided to end his footballing career and take off to Spain to find a job in agriculture or construction.
"We are upset because we lost twice -- firstly because we lost a good player and secondly because we lost our team's food for a whole week," a Regal Horia official was quoted as saying by the daily in its electronic edition.

 

Sounds like it's a better deal than a "Free Transfer"

 

Wow. I'd leave too if I was sold for a dead animal.

Have to say I agree with this sentiment. :3d funny:

 

Yeah, probably if you're of comparable value to a bunch of meat, you really don't have much of a future as a professional athlete anyway.

Which begs the question: is 15 kg of meat more or less valuable than 30 track suits?

 

i hadn't heard of them til now, but i'm starting a season with them tonight on Fifa!

 

I've had that article on my wall for 2 years.
