<br><br>Arrows players will keep on leaving. As far what I heard, the players from now will get more than a years contract but can leave if they get good contracts. Plus senior players will be released also. Arrows just need to make sure they keep on giving chances to good players who wud not have gotten many chances otherwise...<br><br>We will discuss about how the players did after they left arrows....some did well, some dissapered, some still in contention to have a good future<br>
<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">liked the arrows concept from the beginning, giving exposure to young players would help their growth immensely. Looking at last two years, I could say it has really given some young players to Indian football like Jeje, Mandeep, Ajay, ralte, raju, etc. But, I would like to change the goal of the team from forming World cup squad to giving exposure to young players. Obviously if they leave players consistently then how can build a squad. Secondly, I want the ridiculous rule of relegation protection for them to be scraped (this clearly does not bring best of them). Thirdly, they should hold trials among the different academies to pick the best for the arrows every year till fifa academies comes up. Once, the academies are full fledged they can pick the players from them. Fourthly, I would also like AIFF to fix some friendlies for them with good AFC cup level clubs, giving the young players the exposure to the international level. Finally, they should be given good coaches (preferably foreign youth coach) to speed up their development. (Already Baan has taken a note of this and started looking for one, hope it is done quickly) </font><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">Coming to performance of ex players (based on rudra's list)</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">1) Jeje : It gave dream platform for him making an overnight star. Might have been warming the bench mostly at Pune FC, if not joined arrows.</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">2) Raju Gaikwad : Same as above</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">3) Jewel Raja : Same as above</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">4) Ralte : Gave him the playing and confidence to play in and out, also making people notice him. Otherwise, he might have backup player for one or two years for most I-league player</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">5) Gurpreet Singh : Not much contribution by arrows, but his time in national camp gave the exposure he needed.</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">6) Mandeep : Odd games at arrows helped him, but the masterstroke of playing for Air India paid off.</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">7) Abhishek Das : Did give him the much exposure he was looking for but probably becoz of star studded EB team did play much this season. EB should have loaned him for one more season for growth.</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">8) Subodh Kumar : Same as above</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">9) Jagtar Singh : Same as above. </font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">10) Jagroop Singh : Same as above </font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">11) Inderpreet Singh : Though he didnt play regularly at arrows but should have stayed in the team for one more year to gain more first team experience and regular place. I wonder why did he leave arrows or arrows left him??</font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">12) Akshay Kumar : Same as above.</font></div>
<br><div><br></div><div>So now we trust Indian coaches with our young players.</div>
