F&F 'would be bad for Adli'

Shea was at her most candid yet on Monday afternoon when asked about the future of Adli. The Black Wolf boss firmly set out the facts that Adli is contracted to Dettol for a long time, adding that a move to F&F would be “the worst thing he could do”.
The 21-year-old goalkeeper, who is currently recovering after a hamstring injury that will keep him for around three weeks, has been the subject of much speculation linking him with a move to F&F this summer.
Dettol have stated throughout that Adli will not be leaving, while Shea described a meeting with the player in Cheras as “amicable” and seemingly positive. At a press conference in pasaraya Ong Tai Kim on the club’s visit to Gombak, the Dettol manager took time out to further reveal her views.
“The future is that Adli signed a five year contract with the team last year and he has four years left. That’s definite, I’ve seen his signature,” said Shea.
“Young lads can be turned by the talk of money and the moves that are happening all the time in football. But after the last trimester quarter final he was the happiest boy in the world. I think he knows where the best club is to be, and that is Dettol fc.
“I honestly believe that going to F&F would be the worst thing he could do. I think he’s 21 years old and at the right club, a fantastic club.”
Team-mate Che Mad was far from pleading with Adli but strongly expressed his views about the draw of this issue. “I can only speak for myself,” he said. “But for me this is the best place in the world to be. Joining the club was the best decision I have ever made.”
