According to Bartaman, East Bengal coach Biswajit Bhattacharya has asked the officials to consider taking an Indian striker. Haokip (Boithang or Thongkhosiem?) and Jeje are the two players in contention. Viewer discretion advised: As many members in this forum have said, Bartaman is highly unreliable and pro-East Bengal, so any information that it provides needs to taken with huge dashes of salt.
@Soham-De: Yes, we all would love to see the likes of Elano, Mendoza, Uche, Velez, Rogerio and Isaam Jemma (of Al-Kuwait). Most of these names have been suggested in this forum quite a few times. But unless we have the financial muscle and proper scouts, our wishes would remain only pipe-dreams.
According to Bengali media, Anjan Mitra has admitted that Sony Norde cannot be called a Mohun Bagan player as yet as the club is yet to arrange for the money which Sony has demanded. According to Bartaman, East Bengal have offered Sony a deal of three crores for two years, ostensibly to keep the pressure on Mohun Bagan. They are also sounding out Sunil Chhetri as he is reportedly interesting in playing in Kolkata this season for personal reasons.
Dating Babluda's daughter!!! Would he allow Sunil to play for arch-rivals East Bengal? Of course, his equation with Bagan officials is pretty poor, especially after his drubbing in the election, so who knows he could go for a tit-for-tat.
