Sandor Tonghelle agreed terms with RC Lens and off he went, our chairman rubbing his hands in glee with the sudden cash boost to the club's coffers.
I immediately ploughed a little money into improving the training facilities to Level 4.
We're on the hunt for an extra striker as insurance against the difficulties that faced us at the business end of last season.
We were unsuccessful in bringing Jermaine Palmer from Stoke City last season and he has again been approached. However I'm not hopeful of securing his services unless Stoke are prepared to accept a lower price than they're initially asking. Will keep you posted.
A little tougher opposition in our next friendly.
Friendly - Liberec v Crystal Palace
R.Hoult (GK), M.Cranie (LB), P.Castle (CD), M.Hudson (CD), D.Butterfield (RB), J.Puncheon (LM), T.Soares (CM), B.Watson (CM), M.Piper (RM), N.Shipperley (ST), C.Porter (ST)
An own goal sees the hosts fall behind in the 18th minute. 1-0 Palace
A couple of brilliant saves from Russell Hoult maintained our lead until halftime.
Liberec were creating their fair share of chances and almost equalised in the 61st minute when Formanov clipped the wrong side of the post.
Chris Porter wraps up an uninspiring 2-0 victory with a 'proper' goal in the dying miutes.
