<br><br>Na, knowing our luck, the AIFF will continue to fund the second division instead of using that money on the u20 league so next season we can see ONGC and Air India relegated for Aizawl and another pro club.<br>

<br><br>Considering the Transfer Period has not even started yet I am not surprised. Right now no clubs have signed anyone.

<br><div><br></div><div>Haha, I didnt meant that his 'playing' qualities will come to rescue!!! Anyways there's time, they may sign good players (heard that Nirmal wont go there)</div>
USFC wont make any big Indian signing except for Sunil (maybe). The club will sign Indians via trials and will most likely sign big of foreigners (like that Irish guy from 2 years ago)<br>

<br><div>irish guy lapira he is not so big bt i heard USFC are in financial crisis </div>
