Oriental Lisbon - One Step Closer
The journey of minnows Oriental Lisbon.
Ok, Ok, where to start? From the first season you were amazing! Coming up so quickly, and then getting Europa League within two season?! Absolutely brilliant! Taken me the best part of an hour to read start to finish, and congrats on 800 replies, ridiculous amount!
Oh, and I quite like the third kit!

Oriental Complete Two More Deals
Alejandro Rivero (left) and Diogo Vilaça join the club
Oriental Lisbon have secured the signatures of two up and coming youngsters in Alejandro Rivero and Diogo Vilaça. The pair arrive from Defensor Sporting and on a free transfer respectively.
Rivero, a young centre back lauded for his passing, arrives for £400k from his hometown Uruguayan club Defensor Sporting after playing a pivotal role in the side that claimed the Uruguayan First Division crown.
The 20-year old spoke to the media at the club's training ground, expressing his delight at the move. "I'm relishing the chance to play in Europe and for an exciting team like Oriental," Rivero explained. "The manager [Vitor Martins] was a big factor in me coming here, he really knows what direction he wants the team to go in."
Meanwhile, Vilaça, 22, joins on a free transfer and the Portuguese defensive midfielder is set to play a back up role to the main anchor men at the club already.
In his way is Aurelio, Jorge Reis and Angolan Lourenço Costa. Vilaça's spot in the team may also be jeopardised by the impending arrival of Leixões defensive midfielder Luís Novo on a free transfer.
Manager Vitor Martins said after the signing, "Vilaça has a number of years ahead of him and I think he can already make an impact." Fans also reacted positively to the signing, as he represents a home grown player of young age.
good transfers

Martins Hints At Big Signing
Vitor Martins held his cards close to his chest
Vitor Martins spoke to the press today in light of his new arrivals at the Estádio Eng. Carlos Salema, and revealed his club weren't stopping there, and are set to make a huge addition to the squad in the next few days.
Martins refused to reveal names or any details, only the fact that he was set to make a marquee signing in the near future. "We have got something big planned," the 42-year old started. "I'm not saying anything else, just that we've been in talks with someone and it's big."
After being handed a £3 million transfer kitty by chairman André Silva, Martins has already spent some of it on the signings of Alejandro Rivero and Patrick Kekana, two big prospects for the side.
With plenty of money still left in the bank, rumours are predicting that Martins is going to leap into South America and pluck one of their brightest prospects out from underneath them but others say Zumbi, the 20-year old Brazilian defensive midfielder of FC Porto's B team, is also being heavily linked.
Having money to spend for the first time is making Oriental look a serious contender for a Champions League place this season, and maybe Martins' side are ready to finally dent Porto and Benfica's eternal rule over the league?

Looking forward to seeing some big signings, like the addition of some Smoove Tunes to go with it. But if you dont sign anyone that will be some cheeeeese
