KENNA League managers have expressed their growing concern over the disappearance of Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala.
The Piper Malibu light aircraft carrying the striker vanished over the English Channel on Monday night.
The Lokomotiv Leeds manager was first to comment from his rolled-down car window outside the club’s Bellend Road stadium.
‘I’m worried sick for the lad. He was scoring loads of goals in France and had promise coming to England.
‘Alvaro Morata’s been a flop for Lokomotiv this season and I was hoping to be in with a chance of signing Sala at next Friday’s transfer window.’
The Pikey Scum manager echoed those concerns: ‘Devastated. What more can you say? Harry Kane’s injured until March and if I’m to have any chance of challenging for the league I’ll need a decent replacement at a decent price. This shocking news can only drive up bidding values.’
The Sporting Lesbian manager took a more Cumbrian approach to expressing his concerns over the missing Sala.
‘I paid £23m for Arnautovic and now he’s buggering off to China. I’ve only got £7m in the bank and the best strikers out there are Fernando Llorente, Jurgen Locadia and Isaac Success.
‘I’m going to need a bloody miracle.’
Managers have until 9am on Friday 1 February to submit their players to be released to Kenna HQ.
The season’s second transfer window will open at 7pm that night in the Hoop & Grapes, Farringdon Road.
