Still wish they went younger. My New York Red Bulls are in a prime destination. The rival club just signed Adrea Pirlo and Lampard but we are about the sign a guy from the Argentine league as one of our marquee players who was a regular there and one of the better players there. He is only 25 years old and probably won't demand more than $1,000,000.
Kerala Blasters don't need an old name as marquee. They can get crowds of over 50,000 a game easy without it or from visiting team marquee players. Really wish IMG-Reliance would consider this.
I personally believe that Roberto Carlos is a filler marquee player. Delhi Dynamos just launched the new logo and were under a deadline to sign their marquee player and probably were not sure if they would make the 31 July deadline. So, why not get Roberto Carlos and announce him as a marquee to go along with the new logo and buy time to continue negotiations for a real marquee player.
Svensson is a good player but would not be a marquee player in India. If a guy like Kostas could not be considered a marquee then he would not. Riise or Malouda are probably the guys. Hoping for Malouda.
Meanwhile Frantz Bertin , Hiatian Defender has been signed by Mumbai City FC. In the previous season he was with a Greece Football League ( 2nd div ) club, 32 years old, current Hiati international, recently was a part of MNT in Gold Cup.
