KAMMY'S TRANSFER ROUND-UP
With a new TiBB Pub Quiz season on the way the rumour mill has yet again gone into overdrive with new signings and shock departures afoot. The change of management in the League earlier this month rocked the competition and has seen former League 2 JeriTroll Novo Nacho take the competition into his own hands, following the SHOCK resignation of Shaun \Bate-Phillips.
\Bate-Phillips rejoins his former club TBSC, who've undergone a transformation of their own - the club rebranded themselves as 50 Shades of Hai following a disappointing two performances since their debut win. Club favourites Lily., Dezzy and Zee remain, but the untimely departure of LemonJam (broken ankle) saw the Jerseyman out of the running. Former club-mate Matt has been called up for duty and was spotted in early training sessions on Monday.
Reigning champions Ghetto University have made a couple of big splashes in the transfer market and replaced the outgoing Samuel. with whizzkid Munchkins, but full back Brother Leon's place in the team has been called into question recently with some plaudits labeling the Senegalese powerhouse "injury prone" and "as useful as a jelly dildo". His team-mates have been less than supportive on Twitter, managing to get the hashtag #poncedeleon trending in the United Kingdom and Paraguay.
One team unlikely to fork out this time around are the Americanos, who stick with their original line-up despite never having won the title. As last season's runners-up, they'll be looking to improve on their empty trophy cabinet or face taxing questions from fans MichaelSpears and Firewire. Camp tensions have been fuelled too with the private rendez-vous of Ninastar and Smithy; goalkeeper Gypsy Goth reportedly threw her Blackberry out of her porsche when she found out.
Fellow old-timers Callidus and MTV's Jusy and the Happy Turtles look set to return to the league, too, but reports of Callidus' captain James Admin being tempted with a large salary from *Kate*'s yet-unnamed team are dominating the blogosphere. Last season's deserter Stu has been formally dropped from the team in favour of former Jeritroll Nathan. In the MTV camp the team are slow to formalise their entry, amongst reports that Josy and Lee have been fighting over the affections of Mario Balotelli. Their squabble has made headline news in Heat magazine, and the team were rumoured to appear on a reality TV series commissioned by ITV2 named Celebrity Jusy, but MTVN's contract obligations meant he was tied to US networks.
The real talk of the town this year though is the formation of surprise teams - Claymores was spotted leaving the Serious Debates forum in a blacked-out BMW and with a furrowed brow, although one reporter was quick to point out he had a bottle of Old Speckled Hen in tow. A couple of other quality signings are yet to be made with the independent Iceman and Apple202 yet to put pen to paper. Speculation over a possible allstars team consisting of Conzors, hannah., Billy, CaraRawr and Twilight were put on hold however due to clashing makeover schedules.
BREAKING UPDATE: MTV's Jusy and the Happy Turtles have just confirmed their participation, with the expected lineup.
