Pasir Ris - In a bid to play a better brand of soccer, an insider told Myjia official website that Player/Manager Vincent Low is close to sealing a deal of an unnamed player which will be revealed this saturday.
The insider commented: "The player will be an exciting prospect for Myjia as he have a good vision and good passing ability. Besides all the positive, he is also versatile. He is definitely a good catch for Myjia."

Pasir Ris - Vincent Low is convinced Myjia can play much better football than what we have been dishing out for the past weeks.
Despite ending a run of two consecutive defeats with a flattering 4-1 win over Friends of Aaron, Vincent was less than pleased with the team performance.
"With all due respect to Friends of Aaron, Myjia should be at least 3 goals up at halftime," remarked Vincent in reference to the slender one-goal lead at the halfway mark against F.o.A.
The goal, courtesy of a curling freekick from Jackson Seetoh came after Myjia spurned a series of goalscoring opportunities and as Vincent lamented, "our standards have dipped and I am at a loss as to the reason behind it."
Vincent briefly lambasted the team at halftime and Myjia at least showed a little improvement with goals in the second half from Leong Wai Meng with a brace before Wilson Tan wrapped up an unconvincing Myjia performance with a late goal as he rounded the keeper brilliantly before slotting into an empty net.
Agreeing with his manager, Wai Meng added, "I thought Ronnie did brilliantly with two chances, one of which he dribbled past the defence but his shot was smothered by the keeper and the other off a superb cross by Wilkin which Ronnie narrowly missed. We are just lacking the luck, the lucky break when our strikers start to score freely again."
Ironically, Wai Meng himself missed a glorious chance for a hat-trick when he opted to lob the goalkeeper when a simple shot would have been the better choice. The midfielder has since apologised for his arrogance.
With the next fixture less than three days away, Vincent would be hoping that Myjia start putting away the chances and treat the fans to a much better brand of football.
EBENZER BEMOANS LACK OF LUCK BUT IS HOPEFUL OF A TURN IN TIDE

Pasir Ris- With two heavy defeats on the trot, Myjia faces an uphill task of bouncing back on track this weekend at Balestier Hill Secondary School.
However, despite recent criticism by an unnamed source, Youngster Low Ebenzer defended Myjia of its recent dip in form and seems optimistic of the chances to bounce back on track this saturday. In a recent report, Ebenzer told Myjia Online: "We are only facing a minor set back with injury jinx and lack of luck in front of goal. We will give it our best shot in the upcoming match. By going into the match with determination and focus, We will bounce back."
Report also suggest that Player/Manager Vincent Low will be looking to make an experimental change in formation from the usual 4-4-2 to an untried formation of 4-3-3 to bolster their bid for a victory.
After suffering a horrific injury 2 months ago, Reports from the Physio shows that Delvin Ng who suffered a partially torn knee ligament is making progress in his recovery and might return to action ahead of the expected time.
In recent reports and speculation over a transfer of an undisclosed player, Myjia officials have revealed that the deal between Myjia and the player was just a mere speculation and Myjia had made no approach to signing the player. However they revealed that they might sign the player in the near future.

" WE WERE WOEFUL "
Bowen - An unnamed source from Myjia has labelled the team's performances this season as woeful, particularly after yet another heavy defeat against Buffalo United on Saturday afternoon.
Player-manager Vincent Low moved astutely in the transfer market prior to the match with the twin loan capture of Wan and Xiong from Harding United FC to bolster Myjia's rank.
The team was in an upbeat mood as the players played their first match in three weeks and the mood was carried into Myjia's play as both teams traded passes for passes.
It was Buffalo who drew first blood though as a well-orchestrated attacking move saw the Buffalo strike pairing combining superbly to leave Raymond stranded for an opening Buffalo goal.
The scoreline soon read 2-0 to Buffalo and you can just sense that when the second goal went in, Myjia's enthusiasm for the match ebbed away.
Chia Junhao had another ideas though.
Latching on to a hopeful punt from Kenneth Koh after some inspired harassing from Ronnie Low offered Myjia possession, Junhao dummied the Buffalo keeper to score possibly the easiest goal of his career - and open goal from less than six yards out.
2-1 and just when Myjia sensed a possible comeback, any little flame of optimism was doused when Buffalo showed their class with a third goal.
In the 39th minute though, the referee handed Myjia a lifeline into the game as he deemed Eric Low to have been fouled by the Buffalo defence in the penalty box.
Up stepped Junhao and cruelly, the usually-clinical striker hit a poor effort to leave Myjia trailing 3-1 at halftime.
Vincent Low attempted to raise the team morale during the halftime peptalk but to no avail.
Within minutes of the restart, Myjia had trailed 4-1.
Vincent then gambled on a tactical change, shifting central midfielder Leong Wai Meng to the right wing and the gamble almost paid off with Junhao hitting the bar with a bullet header off a Wai Meng cross.
That proved to be the only real attempt on goal after the tactical switch until loanee Xiong provided a glimpse of hope with a brilliant goal.
A corner taken by Kenneth was untidily half-cleared to the edge of the penalty box and with his first touch, leftback Xiong unleashed a right-footed rocket past a masse of bodies for a goal reminiscent of Germany leftback Philip Lahm's ability.
Myjia attempted to push bodies forward and despite the best effort of Jackson Seetoh to outsprint the defenders, the strength of the defenders prevail against the pace of Myjia forward and when the fifth Buffalo goal went in, Myjia had humbly bowed to a classy performance from a young Buffalo side.
MYJIA FALL DESPITE SUNNY'S RETURN
6/9/08, Report by Anonymous
Huayi - Ahead of this fixture, Myjia FFC were missing two key players Kenneth and Delvin despite the return of the giant defender Sunny. His presence gave Myjia a boost in morale but was not enough to prevent Myjia falling to a narrow defeat to Western Malays with the scoreline of 4-3.
Myjia started off the first half brightly with Jackson winning a spotkick after a tackle from Western Malays stopper. With a chance to give Myjia a lead, Waimeng, who is enjoying a superb form, made no mistake in slotting the ball past the keeper for his 10 goals of the season.
Despite missing his regular partner Kenneth in midfield, Myjia manage to keep the midfield tight which resulted in large amount of possession of the first half to be kept in the middle of the park.
On the half an hour mark, a beautifully taken freekick by Waimeng was slotted in by Wilkin who thought to have gotten his 1st goal of the season. However celebrations were spoilt by the referee who disallowed the goal with a tight call which adjudged youngster Wilkin Tan to be in an offside position.
Momentum began to favour Western Malays and Myjia were then force to lay deep in their half with Western Malays launching attacks down the flanks.
On the closing moment of the first half, Western Malays got their reward for their constant attack with a lucky deflected goal. A clearance header by veteran Vincent bounced of the head of Western Malays giant striker and flew into the back of the net.
Myjia headed into the dressing room with a 1-1 scoreline.
Western Malays started of the second half brightly with 3 goals in the space of 15 minutes. However the 3 goals hardly put a dent in the confidence of Myjia instead Myjia tried to fight their way back.
On the 70th minutes, Myjia saw slight hope in crawling their way back into the match when a long ball played by Sunny from defence found chief striker Chia Junhao who dribbled past two defenders before slotting the ball at the bottom corner which gave the keeper no chance.
With an increasing confidence in the Myjia side, Myjia began to launch waves of attack. However the momentum was stopped when tenacious midfielder Waimeng fell awkwardly from a tackle by the Western Malays defender. The injury was a jittery moment for the Myjia fans as Waimeng is currently enjoying a form of his life.
In the closing moment of the match, Sunny mark his return to the side with a superbly taken header. He rose with great height and headed the ball past the helpless Western Malays keeper.
The goal came a little to late for Myjia and the match ended in 4-3 defeat. However Myjia fans have something to cheer about despite the defeat as Myjia FFC showed perseverance in their play and the return of the giant defender Sunny Rai.
