He probably was, he looks it to. I am just going with whatever sources are available to me and all of them say he is 19 years old.<div><br></div><div>Either way, 19 or 22, he has lost all the potential that would have made him a great striker for India. Sure, he would not be dominating the way Uttam Rai is (Hell, I doubt he even scored against the main Everton U16 and Manchester United U16 sides) but he would have at least provided the national team with another option had he realized what he could do.</div>
@arsenalfan - ur thoughts about this new pfc striker?

as an attacking mid then his goals to game ratio is superb....
<br><div><br></div><div>Agree on an overall basis but on this guy I am still not sure. 600 minutes in 3 seasons must mean something was wrong.

I can't find a record of his injuries other than a short-term one in 2011 and I doubt it was that as he was always on the bench and available when needed. He also played plenty of matches in the A-League National Youth League (allowed 3-4 overaged players).<div><br></div><div>I can't find anything on attitude.</div>

<br><div><br></div><div>He can play both. However, from the looks of it, he will need a partner up top when he is a forward.</div>
