prayag united looking very strong for next season....but the sad part is that they <b>dont have any FAN BASE</b>.... they should seriously think about shifting to siliguri.... fan base in kolkata is difficult bcoz people in kolkata are DIRECTLY BORN as fans of the one of the big 3 (mb ,eb, m s)<br>
Ricardo Cardozo and Carlos Hernandez to Prayag, plus Subrata Pal, Ranty Martins. So what is the scene now? Do we have a chance in AFC Cup too, considering the team Prayag have built?
If they are getting him for cheap, its a good buy. He is young and had represented Aussie at U17 level
