@Rudra, seems highly unlikely that Seikhohau Tuboi would leave Shillong Lajong FC at this juncture ( given the ISL Guwahati lure) and join his "tribal" team.
Maybe the pressure of seeing his nephew Seminlen "Len" Doungel being signed in his spot or the club not offering the ridiculous amounts he thinks he is worth.
don't make an article on Hardtackle based on this , but I think common consensus is Dempo will retain Tolgay Ozbey & Haroon Amiri, , Simon Colisimo will move to the ISL team , that was what he was aiming for.
Beto will need to find a new club , if Churchill can find another stash of cash under some carpet , then he might try to sign him.
Salgaocar will release Matthew Foschini, they will like to retain Duffy & Dudu, but Darryl Duffy isn't too keen on staying .
Chika Wali might have to make way ...BUT
Derrick insists on "trialing" players before they sign, this rules out any top quality pliers , as they just wouldn't come for a trial.
Given he trialled Claude Gnapka , you would think he learned his lesson or signing a right back in Foschini to fill the void of no left back !!
but thats Derrick....he knows best
For his long ball style, he needs a big striker and someone to play off the knockdowns , he'll need to tighten up at the back too. He needs a genuine CM, as his current ones are average at best. Expect him to sign an Asian CM , he is in the market for someone like Taisuke Matsugane
Foschini was one of those signings I liked but then after a conversation with a few Victory fans it did not look good. People called him a headless chicken at times. More of a state league player in Australia than I-League or a regular for a normal I-League side rather a side wanting to be champions.
What abput Mumbai FC ? They are considerung offering proper money to their players this season though...worried about the threat of losing it's key local players like Ashutosh M to the likes of ISL Mumbai team.
ASHU would get a better offer for 3-4months than the offer he has from Kolkata
