Romanian player sold for a chunk of meat

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.

There's a lot of odd transfers... in football and other sports.

For example:

Alex to Chelsea for 1 quid (obviously there's stuff behind it, nonetheless its an official transfer)

Chris Drapper (hockey) was traded for 1 dollar

Last year there was a baseball player that was traded for baseball bats.

Kris Draper was traded for a Canadian dollar. From Edmonton to Detroit. Now he has 4 Stanley Cups and who's laughing now?
Baseball announcers have also been traded as well.

Got that right. Its a shame Carly is no longer around to complain about how the Romanians have been mistreated and how the Russians would get at least a gallon of Vodka.
