Not even I can defend them on that. Why even say that to justify the signing? Just say you wanted to bring in a foreign keeper (while inside also saying that Subrata Pal and TP Rehenesh are overrated).
Also, congrats to Sukhdev Patil! He probably won't see the pitch at all but the experience in ISL under Zico should be valuable for the 17 year old keeper.
@ArsenalFan700 .. If MLS was recognised by FIFA then how come none of those teams enter the Copa Libertadores which is equivalent to AFC Cup or AFC CHampions League?
Because the Earth has two separate continents continents called North America and South America.. And US is in North America.. So they dont play in Libetadores which is a tournament for South America.. I wish you check some info before talking rubbish

An interesting article of the merger between ISL and the I-League. Plenty of points to ponder for Indian football decision makers

Also, the Copa Libertadores is the AFC Champions League equal while the Copa Sudamericana is the AFC Cup. Which an MLS team participated in 2007.
And supposedly I know nothing.
Now, lets here the justification of the A-League needing pro/rel in 3 years other than some forum talk
