Irfan To Move?

Irfan Bachdim has certainly attracted some headlines since arriving in Indonesia last year. His two goals at the AFF Cup, coupled with his boyish good looks (apparently), made Indonesian football sexy for a couple of weeks with politicans, celebrities and other media magnets flocking to the Bung Karno Stadium to bask in his glow.

Now comes news that his club, Persema (in the Liga Primer Indonesia), would be willing to release him. In the past Bogor Raya have mumbled an interest while a story today suggests Sriwijaya would like to link Bachdim with Christian Gonzales, currently with Persib.

Talking Sriwijaya, no news on the future of coach Ivan Kolev. After replacing Rahmad Darmawan at the start of the season, Sriwijaya managed to win nothing...after amassing something like seven trophies in the previous three years.
