@thebeautifulgame - Debabrata Sarkar (Nitu Da) is now out of station for very urgent work! He last came to the club in the afternoon of Wednesday. Probably Xtratime is right.
Lukeman's visa application process has not begun yet. As it is, Africans usually have to wait for a long time to get visa to come to India. He might not arrive here before the second week of January. (Source:24 Ghanta). East Bengal should have handled the fourth foreigner issue better. Any player, however professional he might be, needs some time to settle in another country and gel with his club-mates.
Confusion regarding Lukeman continues. It is reported that his old club does not want to release him and are forcing him to sign a new deal with them, but East Bengal are using their connection with Suley Musah to negotiate with them. Some officials reportedly want to sign another known foreigner, if possible Orok Orok, for the I-League.
Orok has been with the team and in this short sprint of a league that counts for a lot....its possibly to late to blood Lukeman...who will take some time to adjust in India...maybe next season

Anyways, Orok-Orok is my fav!
