The decision was because of his salary. Most of KBFCs foreigners were from the same agency and the agent always made sure that the players are overpaid. Ogbeche, Sandesh & Tiri did not agree to a pay-cut after the pandemic. Kibu wanted his own set of foreigners but he was okay with these two. Even Poplatnik would have got an opportunity to impress the coach in preseason, but the offer from Scotland must have been good, given his bad run that season. Last season's KBFC foreigners were cheap, so are the Indian youngsters. Only Sahal, Rahul & Jeakson may be having high salary.
Leave the overhaul of foreigners, our only request for the last two seasons is to let the coach continue for another season.
Gokulam Kerala have signed young Kerala defender Muhammed Uvais in a multiyear deal. The 22-year-old defender was a mainstay for the KSEB team that faced the Malabarians in the Kerala Premier League the previous season. This is the second player Malabarians scouting from the tournament. Earlier Gokulam had announced the signing of Muhammed Rafi, who had played for MA College in the tourney.
The defender, who is from Nilambur in Malappuram, has also played in the ILeague Qualifier 2019-20 for Bengaluru United FC. Before that, he captained Ozone FC in Bengaluru Super Division. He has also played for FC Kerala in I-League second division in 2016-17.
Uvais did his football schooling in MSP Academy and later moved to Bharath FC Pune academy setup. During his academy years, he has played for Sudeva FC, and also Mohun Bagan.
He usually plays as left centreback and can also be deployed as left-back.
“This is a major breakthrough in my career. Gokulam Kerala FC are one of the major clubs in the country and it is an honour to represent them. I have keenly followed their title triumph last year and I believe we can do it again,” said Uvais.
Daniel Sturridge to ISL as marquee player? As Marcus said, no Transfer Fee and a wage of 1.5 million USD (City could definitely afford this imo) could be okay with him. Has 200+ Premier League Appearances, Played in FIFA World Cup.
