Not only is Renedy in the draft ..he is valued at 35Laks !!! Thats 12 Laks a month !!..someone is getting conned if they pay that much .
Most of that ISL list are way past their prime and even a 3 month league will be too much for these unfit and overweight player's.
Sushil Kumar Singh hasn't played a competitive game for longer than a year. ..yet also has a crazy valuation...the fact that noone took him on loan last season says it all
Not surprised to be honest. When MLS started most of the American players were unfit or just lacked the needed skill to play in the league. Many of them were amateur/semi-pro players before MLS and some of them were just indoor soccer players with 2nd jobs.
Not surprised if ISL starts like this, however, I expect things to get better for the next editions and that the overaged, unfit, unskilled players (foreign and domestic) are weeded out.
FC Pune City is jumbled enough, you are right. But I cannot visualize long-robed bishops playing football. I think IMG would have provided a name bank or at least some guidelines. The owners are too ignorant.
@Arsenalfan, Indian situation differs slightly from American in that we have some background in football, you didn't. And you had organization, we don't. So the reactions will differ, we deserved a better Start provided IMG didn't bungled the whole thing. But of course, things will improve in later editions.
@Deb_Ban That I will agree with. The point I was trying to make was don't expect so much from this edition. This is basically the same players we see from the I-League but now playing in a more "glamor" setting.
I am sure watching the ISL will be better than watching I-League but for us viewers of I-League we will probably not see a difference for the initial start.
