He was 34/35 and starting in La Liga and just was a starter in the Segunda Division at 37. Say what you want about age but being a starter there to I-League (level, who knows if he shall be here in January) should be a relatively easy.
As for the FC Goa foreigners. Jofre did not play at all after the 2014 season and still did very well in 2015. Lucio did not rely on things like speed or anything last season, he is an experienced veteran playing against Indians and average foreigners at best, his age won't matter. Same with Leo Moura. Just cause they're old does not mean they won't be good.
Alvaro Rubio has featured for 57 matches in the past two seasons in spanish second tier. That just shows his fitness level.A guy who is featuring more or less regularly. Regarding FCG foreigners.... How many matches have the likes of Jofre, Lucio, Reinaldo , Moura play in last two seasons. ? Lack of game time affects the form of players badly , heading towards their end of career. Just cause Jofre Moura etc did well last season , doesnt mean they will replicate same form again at this stage of their career....Besides, having one or two 37 yr olds in the squad is bearable(all ISL teams have)....it becomes a joke when majority of your hired foreigners are crawling towards retirement.
