Kenta Uchida easily. Joey Gibbs was okay in the A-League but to be a foreigner in the I-League, especially for East Bengal, you need to be an influential foreigner and Gibbs is not that. Uchida I can see doing that.
Would agree with you there....do you have any info on Uchida, since you call him an influential foreigner?....my knowledge is limited mostly to the wiki and soccerway stuff...haven't found any videos of him except the one I posted
Actually talked to a Ehime fan on reddit about this. Basically said that he is a very reliable player to have on your side. Not the best shooting boots and not super speedy but he can still run at a decent pace, has good skill on the ball, and has experience on his side as well. He is a very solid J2 League player who has flirted with J1 League but was never good enough to make it to that level. He is also very easy to create chemistry with on the field which I think is important to have.
He would easily be a better option for East Bengal than Joey Gibbs. He couldn't even create much of an impact in Hong Kong. If East Bengal want a good player they can rely on, go for Uchida, if they just want someone on the cheap end, they go for Gibbs.
