Former FC Talanta left back Thomas Wainaina has lifted the lid on his decision to ditch the club for the free-spending Bidco United.Wainaina is among the more than half a dozen players who have joined the Thika based club ahead of the start of the new season projected to kick off next month.The defender said the better package offered by the manufacturers was hard to resist given the financial constraints Talanta are currently grappling with after losing their shirt partners.##NAJAVA_MECA_6564046##Talanta were dealt a blow two months ago after one of their shirt partners terminated the contract while their deal with the Communications Authority of Kenya came to an end although Mozzart Sport understands that negotiations to renew it are ongoing.Bidco United new signingsEzekiel Okare and Alex Waiswa from MCFMichael Bodo and Thomas Wainaina from FC TalantaHenry Juma from Kariobangi Sharks, Samuel Ndung’u from Kenya Police FC and Randy Bakari from Nzoia Sugar FC#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/8GjHSi5Bui— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) August 4, 2022 The financial challenge at Talanta has seen them lose Francis Kahiro, their arguably best player in the past season who joined KCB. Others who have decamped are Michael Bodo and Vincent Otieno who have joined Bidco and Fortune Sacco respectively.Wainaina revealed that he had gone without pay for three months at Talanta and when Bidco came knocking, he put pen to paper, joining the long list of players the club that will be in the third season in the top flight has acquired.”Bidco offered better terms and I was also impressed with the plan they have for the season. It was difficult for me to turn the bid down considering that I was barely surviving while attached to my immediate former employer,” he opened up.Veteran Indeche among Bidco’s latest signingsWainaina, will face stiff competition for playing time from the duo of Geoffrey Gitau and Lambert Oyuga who has been Anthony Akhulia’s preferred starter.The former Sofapaka and Kakamega Homeboyz man is however banking on his versatility and ability to score from setpieces to beat the duo to the starting roles.
