Difficult to replace Borja, he has a 2 year contract. Also we need him! I would have Crespi play a DM, release Aidara instead. And have Aseer Akhtar pair up with Borja as CBs.
At max he can de registered from the i-League squad, releasing a player with 2 years left on his contract is going to be an expensive affair which Quess won't deal with.
East Bengal: Alejandro Menendez asks for new Indian signings
Top East Bengal officials held a meeting with head coach Alejandro Menendez Garcia on Tuesday after the club’s training session at the Salt Lake Stadium practice ground.
After a poor start to their campaign in the I-League where East Bengal are currently in the fourth position after picking up just two wins in five matches, the top brass at the club decided to meet the coach and discuss the issues of the team.
After a brief meeting with the coach, senior club official Debabrata Sarkar said that the meeting with the coach went fine and the coach had given names of a few Indian players who can be signed during the January transfer window.
“We had a discussion with the coach (Alejandro Menendez Garcia). The club president spoke to him and he is very happy with the performance of the coach. The coach gave us a few names of Indian footballers and we are trying to get them for him. But those players need to be free players or else we cannot get them now.”
Spanish defender Borja Gomez Perez had to fly back to Spain due to a family medical emergency. When asked if the club officials are also planning to hire new foreign recruits, the official said, “Regarding foreigners, Alejandro said he will think about it and let us know in a few days.”
