ccoz odafa scored arnd 20 goals avg. every season but ranti don't....though ranti scored 32 goals once but odafa is consistent...but now better foreigner have came so both of them will strruggle to score even 15 goals a season...as of this season...i think sunil not only deserves to be highest paid indian but highest paid footballer in i-league...
Penn is shit & close to 36 years old...miles better players for half the price on PFA free agents list that was emailed to scouts/agents recently... Scout7 has a great list
We spoke to Ramill Sheriff and Robert Earnshaw about following the likes of John Johnson and Darryl Duffy... they are good enough to dominate here and make better money than League 2 or lower Championship sides
Odafa & Ranty scored 20-30 goals when every season had a Utd Sikkim or an Air India etc where they racked up hayracks...take away their PK's and they have shit goals to minutes ratio...Balwant and Sunil are miles better in a season where we have 4 foreigners, therefore most teams have a foreign centre back...
Earnshaw just signed for Blackpool FC in the Championship till the end of the season. If he is available over the summer an Indian club should definetly try for him in 2014-15.
Ramill... never heard of him but he seemed to did okay at the 7th tier and he was a regular with Norwich's U21s and they have a pretty decent U21 side so he could make it here as well. My only concern is that he is young, 20. He might have some adjustments to make.
Earnshaw needs a good midfield to be effective. At Toronto he had a good start as he was fresh and no one knew much about him but after he was found out he was closed down big time and really became ineffective. I am sure in India he can bang in 15-20 goals but he would need help from his team to make that happen.

Odafa Okolie trying to get into the East Bengal squad next season, apparently his agent (Chima?) talked to EB offcials saying he wants to don the jersey of a big club like EB and what not. I think he has got clear indications that MB would not keep him anymore.
But EB officials are going cold on that as Ranty is warming up to them.
In another rumor, Mohun Bagan have approached Robin Singh (Why on Earth?)
