These clubs could follow the MB model for academy. Tie up with a PSU, so you get all the infrastructure and maintainance covered by them while the club provides the coaches and cost of living, school, food, etc.
Eh, their youngest guy is 23 years old right now. Younger than most I guess. At least this way they can say how they are focused on the future when they fail to make the finals.
@nameWTHeld Is there anyway to have a timer at the top of the forum which counts down to 1 September 2016. We shall see if by then anything has happened.
@ArsenalFan700 the DD new signings are under 23. And avg. age of the squad is much younger, they seem to be preparing themselves for when they sign the same players for longer term deals when ISL apparently becomes a longer league.
Maybe they are unconfirmed then cause the announced guys so far are Toni Doblas (35), Sanjban Ghosh (25), Anas Edathodika (29), Souvik Chakraborty (25), Kean Lewis (23), Milan Singh (24), and Soram Anganba (23).
This is the third announcement for MOU regarding an academy. First was to be based in I think Rohtak, second in Lucknow and third in Greater Noida. Remember, all are MOUs. This stadium complex in greater noida where the academy will come up, I have played there. I used to be in the youth team of the academy in 11th standard. Don't know if the GNIDA academy is still functional. They were facing major cash crunch at that time due to lack of trainees. Also, it was badly managed as it was government authority run. Aster academy in greater noida had a lot of trainees with them. They had the best coaches at that time. Probably, they are re-branding the same GNIDA academy to bring in much needed money and also technical expertise.
The infra is decent btw. Requires little maintenance though.
Didn't go through this thread earlier and realize people are thinking Indian participation in Gothia cup is new. That's entirely wrong. East Bengal/Mb and even Kolkata Mayors 11 used to participate in Gothia cup.
I still remember, being in my youth as you people are, how elated I was hearing news like Eb went on to defeat Riverplate Academy of Argentina, Sao Paolo academy of Brazil etc amongst others. But not long before I realized, the concept of age cheating.
Anyway, those cups were there for long and lot of Bengal clbs/ assembled teams used to participate. So this is nothing news really.
Delhi Dynamos have announced the dates for the open trials for their AIFF U-16 Youth League team...
Indian Super League (ISL) outfit Delhi Dynamos have revealed the details of their open trials for the AIFF U-16 Youth League, where a total of 50 teams from all over India would participate, including the developmental sides of the other ISL sides as well.
The semifinalists from last season intend to conduct the open trials on the 13th and 14th of August at Pushpanjali Farms, Delhi, which would be the first-team assistant coaches and the Techical Directors of the Dynamos' Grassroots programme, Shakti Chauhan and Raman VIjayan.
An intial thirty players will be picked for training under the club's youth coaches before the numbers are trimmed to 22 by the next month, in line with the tournament, where Chandigarh-based side Neroca FC participate as winners.
Chauhan sounded out to the kids interested in trying their hand at the trials by talking up the opportunity.
“It is a great opportunity for kids from Delhi to be part of an open trial session like this. It not only gives them an opportunity to represent the Delhi Dynamos FC youth squad and kick-start their footballing career, but will also offer them a grand chance to be noticed by the AIFF. So I would like to urge all interested kids to give it their best shot,” he said.

At least they are signing younger players with potential rather than the Naoba , Mama , Nabi type players. That's a good sign...
