I just find it weird how Sandhu was not super rated in the I-League, was second choice to Mondal, and not a #1 under both Morgan and Armando yet in the eyes of a former World Cup head coach he is good enough to be the #2 for his team... I mean, out of all the #1 I-League Indian goalkeepers, a #2 is selected.
Simple answer to that @ArsenalFan700. ..he was at wrong club. Whilst Trevor was there Gurpeet was still very young and raw...but the pressure on GKs at kolkata clubs ...especially the "big" 2 is immense. The other clowns like Abhijit / Abhra Mondal were just better at handling that "goldfish bowl" pressure
GK in India not as key to winning as a good defence. The last 2 I-league champions GK's wouldnt even make the India squad regularly or ever !
Surpised when the news of this came out. I am happy for him and hope he can pave way for Indians at at European level. Starting out small but they'll get there...... go Gurpeet

For Indian system, GKs like Karanjit are more suitable.
