I'm not gonna argue against what you said about Armando, I whould have been more than happy if we had Armando in the first place. but I'm not in favour of changing wim for Armando now.
In Nehru cup I liked what I saw. a change of style, free flowing football.

Don't overestimate uttam he stil is a kid and needs learn a lot to fulfill his potential. We had portugees u19 playe in I-league and we all saw what he did.

Why not? When you drasticaly change playing style some times you will get dominated. anyway syria is a better team than India. But we still won Nehru Cup, isn we?

<br><div><br></div><div>I am sure he wants to play for India but let it be during an actual tournament that does not involve one of the "giants" having to rely on there U16 players and another having only mainly domestic based players while the other uses foreign based town league players in bloody Germany.</div><div><br></div><div>The SAFF Cup should be for the Indian based players.

<p>I expected a big defeat beacuse of Indian faltu playing. But god didnt listened to my wish. :o3 </p><p>Arsenalfan..let him play in big leagues for any club . But as an Indian he should defnitely play for Indian someday.</p>
