@7negi Eh, DailyStar... not the best paper around. Also, these friendlies would be during the Summer, when the ISL is over and Pires has gone far, far away from India...
HIGHLIGHTS of the game: Sandesh Jhinghan: Amazing player. Just 21 and such a great player. He is a big potential for India. He should work more harder, improve himself and get a good agent. He can play in 2nd tier leagues in europe for sure. Good option in defence for us in future. Need more players like him along with TP Rehnesh.
Bruno Pelissari: This is what young second grade brazilians can do to our experienced indians. We need atleast players of this quality
Okay, and how do they plan on making this happen? Maybe Pires has had some talks or whatever but it is almost impossible. Arsenal have pre-season in July/August. ISL is rumored to come back in 2016.
Now, you could say this could be a pre-season game for FC Goa as well as August would be perfect but I doubt Arsenal would do an India trip in August, most likely around July and at that point I doubt FC Goa or any ISL side would be ready.
Next season ISL will be longer. Starts from Sept. and lasts till December. Another report stated that the draft system will be removed next season on-wards. So, we can see teams signings the players on their own during the transfer window. Given proper pre season for at least 2 months, we can see the team visiting in July or August. My best bet is that they will visit mid august. That will be great if it happens.
Now that seems more likely if the league starts in September... don't know when Das said that but if that is what he said then I can see this friendly happening... not in mid-August though, Premier League starts mid-August and depending on FA Cup/Premier League success, the Community Shield. Mid/Late July is more likely as we have the Emirates Cup at the beginning of August and so far as far as I know, that is still going on.
As for the draft system leaving, that is good. Coaches should be given the responsibility to scout and negotiate their own deals for players.
