East Bengal going crazy for Balwant Singh. Ready to pay a ransom amount for an agreement for 2 years. I wonder what wrong with Dudu then. Balwant should learn a lesson from Baljit Siuttangh Saini. How his talent was misused by making him sit at the reserve bench for years. Off late Elco accused him for sabotaging against the team. How can you expect a positive striker to play as a holding midfielder? Now he has been dumped by East Bengal Officials & they have release him. Any ways Subodh Kumar & Lenny Rodrigues are on their way to Bagan. Only Sony is creating a headache since he is having offers from Mexico & another Latin American country. His agent will reach Kolkata on 22nd June & will seat with Debasish Dutta. Although Sony have said he has got 50% chance of playing back at India. Hopefully Debasish Dutta can convert it to 100%. Meanwhile Georgie Wilson Welcome(Honduras International) playing for Bek Tero Sasana & one player from Brazil might join as the marque player. Hope Bagan can consolidate their loss of losing Bello Rassag. Uga Opara &bfour other players one from Nigeria one from Indonesia & two from South East Asia will join the training session after that the defender quota will be finalised.
@righthalf: the player from Brazil who is rumored to be in the Bagan radar is Lucas Gaucho, a Brazilian striker who plays for Al-Shabab Cub in the Oman Professional League. His career can be viewed here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_Gaucho
@righthalf get another half , preferably left and get a life before criticizing other teams. It is not a place to fight. If you want to fight then come to fightclub thread. Come on.
According to a kolkata daily bartamanpatrika.com, Balwant Singh has already signed a two year deal with East Bengal. Rumour, Gossip or Confirmed news? In another development, East Bengal officials have decided that they will not be offering a deal to Sukhwinder Singh this season. MB have decided that if they fail to secure Lenny Rodrigues, they would think of recruiting Singh. Deja vu, anyone? Reminds me of the drama of the 80s and 90s.
Indian Football - more so Kolkata football! So much of hues n cries about a 37 yrs old footballer! Its not humanly possible to be at your peak at this age as a footballer. Some may say, he was adjudged the best defender (me too) in this year's I - League, but thats it. U cannot expect consistency from a 37 yrs old guy in football..See what happened with Deepak Mondal; he played brilliantly in United in 2013-14 and there was a tug-of-war btwn Bagan & EB for him in 2014-15, before he actually joined EB; and he came as a cropper this season( he is 35+). No one can doubt Deepak or Bello's commitment level even at their age - but they can't pull through the entire season.
