IMV - Gifted, natural and complete striker. Technically will always be no 1. Was't professional enough declined Fulham for MMB. (Fulham later signed Luis Saha).
Sunil - Very good close control due to low center of gravity, cool head, good finisher, motivated and experimental. Tested himself in the international club circuit. Lack leadership and does't always respond to the occasion.
Bhaichung - Technically will be no 3 always, started as a attacking mid, Akramav made him striker. Was deadly inside the box, never thought for his own safety while going for a goal, his ability to lead from the front, hunger for more and level of thinking took him to another level. Always fought with thyroid and knee problem (he is still fighting with thyroid and its chronic). To me he is no 1 because of leadership, ability to challenge himself and his contribution to Indian football off and on the field.
India played against Fulham during 2000-2001 UK tour. Vijayan scored a marginal offside goal against Fulham (They were in Coca cola championship that time). As their veteran striker Karl Heinz Riddle was about to retire they offered IMV a trial which he declined. Similarly Rajat GhosDastidar and Renedy got trial offer from Coca Cola league 2 teams. (Can't recall names). Thats all I can recall now.
