I think mumbai fc will do exactly what they do every year. Hunt for average indian players who are not getting much game time in their clubs, and probably finishing their contracts. Mostly defensive players who are also physically strong. Get the core Indian team, sign some foreigners at the last moment at a bargain price who could not get into other i league clubs due to entry of new set of foreigners. And then save relegation, like the usual way, breaking hearts of a few title in aspirants in the process :P
I hate the fact Mumbai FC is not trying a least bit to popularize the club. I feel even 3/4th promotion of BFC does can change the football landscape drastically. Being a metropolitan city the revenue generated by them from a fraction of Mumbaikars would be way more than NE teams. It is just they dont have the will to do it.
Hopefully All EPL scouts will be in India to watch Indian super league, they can find talented youngsters like Jeje, Dika who can be signed for less amount, no point spending millions on Danny Blind or Alex Sachez. Dika have pace, just 20 now can be lethal for any premier league team if trained well by likes of Jose Mourinho or Van Gaal
