Top players are at their prime till 32-33, but there are exceptions. Provided with the amount of a contract to the marquees they could find fitter players than Pires and Del Piero. There is no point of providing 10 crores to a 40 year old legend.
Keep in mind though that the market for these top guys is massive. MLS has the biggest pull for these guys, same with Guangzhou Evergrande. The Middle East also has a pull, same with Japan and Australia. All before India for sure.
David Villa for example would never come. Joleon Lescott though could happen.
Wasnt it a fact that the players who became popular in respective franchises are not marquees? (Except Elano but a close shout to mendy) Get players who are just out of there prime, The younger the marquee the better the brand becomes.
Seriously no more has beens. I strangely can say after Season 1 ISL has a decent pulling power, I mean 2-3 out 10 players who are supposed to go to A-league & China would seriously consider ISL.
I say we have a decent shout to get better than the chinese league next season if it was better.
ISL has attracted lot of international attention and foreigners are getting a lump sum in just 3 months. Players like Mendoza was signed by SC Corinthians and this will attract more younger players which is a good sign and some players have show interest in playing in the ISL after the success of 1st season
