@Nagendra, @Ronny: Absolutely. The money factor trumped everything. As Marcus aptly tweeted, citing Don Vito Corleone in The Godfather, "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse"
@dhritiman7: Would be interesting to see which clubs come courting Arindam!
that's like kind of a well settled job . since arindam himself is a top level goalie, he should seek another club, doesn't deseve to be on the bench. though he should have made this transfer after next years AFC champions leauge. What a miss. i know the money is invlolved but games like afc champions league are once in a lifetime opportunity.
the other 5 year deal in football transfer in recent memory i read about was Seamus Coleman at Everton in 2014 signed a 5 year deal.
alex song was offered a 3 year deal at arsenal during contract renewal but he wanted a 5 year deal which arsenal refused, so he moved to barcelona.
why. strict no. they will make him bench warmer. better apuia stays in NE under khalid jamil. A player of the calibe like apuia deserves to be on starting XI on every match day squad.
well, personally the only logical conclusion that I could think of is. When Arindam signed for BJP, ATK management must have thought it a different club, so they signed a replacement.
Considering Apua's potential and current form no coach in Indian football will dare to bench him. ATK retained Lenny & Sk Sahil and any day Apuia will be preferred over them. However I must agree that even Glan was benched in ATK. So I am writing this considering common footballing sense (which is very uncommon in Indian football) will prevail. He may learn a lot from McHugh. If EB somehow manage to hang on to ISL, that would be Arindam's best place. Congratulations Amrindar for his retirement fund and financial independence.
