@gaffertape please give your views about bidyanda heard much about him Is he luking promising & can be one of the best central mid in future btw freekick shows his capability but want to hear an expert view about him.
I saw one practice game featuring Bidyanand in the Navi Mumbai academy ground (in 2012). He was clearly the best among the team. They were playing against a local Mumbai team who were much older, he was able to feature out among all the footballers who were playing. Now it all depends on how much he has grown in the last 3 years. Through years I had my excitement over youth players who didnt do much later, I won't be holding my breath for any more, unless they prove themselves at senior level.
@rudra BFC is paying for the flights / accommodation etc.
Part of the vision to have an all Indian starting XI in the I-league in 2 years , in preparation for AIFF master plan of making I-Leage an Indians only League , and thus prolonging the tamasha of ISL
It's a good opportunity for Shankar, like it is for Udanta, but I do wonder how much they would get out training with Oxford and a 3rd division Italian side? If they stand out, and if work permits are easy-ish obtain, Shankar could make the move I guess.
No way will the UK govt. allow work permit for Udanta even if he is given a pro-contract by Oxford.
Let's be honest...as we have seen with Sunil and others...no Indian player is goung ti be playing too tier European football this decade...and 2nd to 4th Tier in top countries like Spain, UK , Italy , France etc...is mules ahead of I-League in terms of facilities & level of play Alwyn George will be next to get the opportunity after he proves himself for 1 year
