Orlando, FL - In an effort to attempt to engage fans that are feeling already dispirited for the coming season, Orlando City SC stated that they would base their entire transfer policy for 2020 on the number of Twitter likes that rumors and suggested acquisitions given by fans of the team would acquire.

“This is an entirely new methodology to really integrate our fans into the acquisition policy,” stated one Orlando City insider. “The team will be basing their acquisitions entirely on the whims of the fans. If the fans state that they want a specific player and it gets over 200 likes then we will lodge a bid for that player.. If a player suggestion ends up with more than 1,000 likes then we will lodge a bid that isn’t actually insulting to the team and player in question. If a player suggestion gets more than 10,000 likes then we will use it in an attempt at a viral marketing campaign.”

Fans of Orlando City were reportedly thrilled that the team even pretended to be interested in player acquisitions for 2020 as they quickly started proposing a number of different people for the team to try to acquire.

“Pulido to OCSC!,” stated @TheLIonsRoar

“Messi! MESSI…. MESSSIIIIIIIIIIIIII,” stated @BreKABrak

Sources with the team indicate that they’ve already put in bids for Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Chucky Lozano.

“We’ve made our intent known by filing a $1,000 acquisition bid for Cristiano Ronaldo,” stated our source with Orlando City. “We are waiting for a response from Juventus to say whether they’ve accepted our terms.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the scouting department of Orlando City changes their task from scouting players to scouting player suggestions from Orlando City fans.
