We have around 8-10 forwards who are u24 including the like of haokip jayesh the current u-23 then national team bound jackiechand jeje also the u-19 prospects of udanta and uttam..
at least half a dozen are already starting for their respective clubs.. lets consider 50% of them having wrong age certificate still we get 2-3 decent forwards already developed enough to play at top level of india..
We shall be positive that we can get at least one good consistent scorer if lucky two from this set of players who can make the jump to be good enough to lead the front line for out national team
We might not know who among them is a late bloomer... If he starts hitting the peak at age of 25/26 we might get one replacement for sunil..
jeje has shown via ISL that he need to play along with a forward who keeps him clear ... he cant lead the line but might be a decent forward for 4-4-2 formation I feel
