Sure there is every possibility of it being a done deal. My only concern is that in these days of burgeoning social media and with the existence of so many fake profiles, we should take everything with a pinch of salt. Remember the case of Katsumi who supposedly declared on Instagram that he was joining MB only to be discovered a few days later that it was a fake account and he was actually signing for CCFC? Anyway, what I am concerned about is EB's last line of defence; the goalkeeper position has been an Achilles heel for us in the last 4-5 years and Dheeraj Singh (who is overrated as IFN members have said), even if he joins, is not going to solve our problems. Vishal Kaith is also not reportedly too keen to join any club which is not going to play ISL next year. Not sure what other options Quess is looking at.
EB can sign CFL players and academy players. Core of last season is leaving. Menendez will regret his decision to stay in EB if we don't play ISL. Football isn't an easy business, Reliance found out and so will Quess.
Core of last season? Which core to be specific? Except Jobby, none have left. Salam may leave. Chullova is not yet decided. Laldanmawia wants to stay. Others have contracts. So, which core?
Ralte is staying back in all probability while Chullova is still undecided. Enrique or Acosta didn't leave EB, Menendez himself sought to replace them.
