Na, I hope they and other I-League clubs go for old A-League, J.League, MLS players. India is an attractive place, any player from these leagues would love to play here and enjoy the life in cities like Kolkata, Goa, Sikkim etc.<br>

@arsenalfan<;div>surprised you missed Mandjou Keita & John Menyongar, both have done it in the US at the a higher level ,</div><div><br></div><div>Also good decision by Goan clubs to not pay over the odds, other clubs should join forces with them too & leave the Kolkata clubs to waste their money</div>

<br><div><br></div><div>The clubs should also advocate for a salary cap.

There are so many Indian industrialist who are much much bigger than Vedanta or Dempo. But all of them need an asset to invest in which gives them returns. If I-league proves to be a profit making business, we would not have to beg to anyone. People will come running to own a club
