dempo already has simon colosimo, and now honda..2 foreign defender? why? i have a feeling papas is not doing well in the defensive front...that was also very apparent with his job in arrows
<br><div><br></div><div>How is he not doing well defensively? His center-back is a guy who has played with the Aussie national team and he played in over 25 matches last season for the Melbourne Heart in the A-League (However, ending in last place).</div><div><br></div><div>I mean, the back-line actually looks sharp.

<br><div><br></div><div>i meant because he is getting extra protection there....most i league teams will have 1 foreign defender....then either 2 foreign striker or two foreign mid</div>
<br><div><br></div><div>now we see people even question about two foreign defender </div><div>personally its good move by Dempo. they have some good midfielder and strikers and good opportunity for an Indian striker to shine. </div>
<br><div><br></div><div>i am not questioning....i am commenting on the situation and on the decision...i dont have any problems even if they have all 4 foreign defendrs</div>

<br><div><br></div><div>Ya, it is a difference from what we usually see lol but it is a nice change. They already have Beto to dominate the midfield and another former A-League regular in Billy Mehmet to lead the front-line. They also got rid of plenty of defenders this off-season and have brought in two, Simon and Prathamesh. They needed depth and they got it now.</div>
<br><div><br></div><div>from what i understand from dempo's initial games-</div><div>Prathamesh is unlikely to get the first XI position, Billy Mehmet has not yet settled down well, dempo still finding its rhythm</div>
<br><div><br></div><div>They have till October dude. Give Mehmet some time.</div>

I don't see how my reply implied that I was disagreeing. I was just saying that this is a new era at Dempo SC. New players, new system, new coach... new everything. Billy Mehmet, I am sure he can do well in India and he probably will struggle at first, after all this is India not Australia.<div><br></div><div>We need to give Dempo time. Personally I don't see them winning the I-League this year. Papas will probably work on integrating a new squad for the long-term, finding out where the holes are which are to be filled, and focusing on improving the youth development.</div><div><br></div><div>The 2014-15 season should be theres to pounce on.</div>
<br><div><br></div><div>so basically wikipedia is wrong on the no. of goalls? this transfermarkt is authentic?</div>
<br><div><br></div><div>His wiki is wrong. As a wikipedia editor, the only player pages that you can actually trust are those that have players who have played in select leagues and countries like MLS, the English leagues, the Scottish leagues, the I-League etc. This is because these pages have a lot of editors (experienced ones) who keep watch on them when they can and who update them. </div><div><br></div><div>Ones like this one where the guy has only played in smaller leagues will not be edited or taken care of properly. Chances are that page is vandalized.</div>
