Persela invest in youth
Persela Lamongan have snapped up two of the most promising young players in the country. Former Persiba duo Feri Ariawan and Hendra Siswanto have joined new coach Subangkit at the East Java club.
While it's a good move for the pair it also says alot about the mentality of much of Indonesian football. Persiba exceeded expectations last season finishing 3rd in the ISL and are obviously keen to build on that. It's a shame though that they feel it necessary to sacrifice two quality young players for the sake of one 'big' name.
