Ralte's didn't go for surgery despite being advised by specialist doctors. He would never be the same player and will be inching closer to a career threatening injury every match he plays. Forget NT, he must make it to EB practice first.
@eastbengalpride U should not say 'dika who' as even though he is injured he was better than 90% players of India,durinig his prime he was a hero of eb afc cup campaign to reach semis and put up a great fight in the away match against kuwait fc
Dika scored a few awesome goals, no doubt. He has a good left foot no argument about that as well. But over all he adds not much value. He lacks speed and also doesn't contribute defensively. Now that he has become injury prone and refuses to listen to doctors, its a good time to dump this age cheat. Ruidas has an equally gifted left foot, work rate is much higher and is more than able replacement for Dika IMO.
DIKA excelles under Papas U23 and in Pailan because he was 5 years older than his team mates. At Churchill and 1st year in Kolkata we saw his best.
Age has caught up for sure...so he will be slowing down and having to adapt
Problem is DIKA will not work hard...has refused to do this under numerous coaches..
With a while host of young pkayers coming thru , he will stryggle to keep his place in the upper echelons of Indian football.
Better to pin hopes on Mandar developing, & Udanta growing this year.
DIKA , Jeje , Raju Gaikwad , Shilton D'Silva , Jewel Raja , Jihon Singh , Milan Singh ...are all just a distant memory of a once promising "youth" team
