El Diego Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Baichung Bhutia has also played abroad in England (and Asia -- wouldn't be surprised if a number of Indians have done so also, perhaps outside the continent is better trivia question?). I have done a number of saves in India on Football Manager over the years so I remembered Bhutia's name 14 minutes ago, Shway said: Is he the first Indian-descent player to play in any top 10 leagues (his two appearances with Bayern).

El Diego Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 As I did some more digging I saw Subrata Pal was loaned to a Danish team but doesn't appear to have played a match. If that name seems familiar it's probably because he was on trial with the Whitecaps in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like this player, having watched him with Bayern 2. He's made the bench plenty of times for the Bayern first team, and the few times he played for them he looked pretty good. Hopefully he can help elevate this side on the offensive end. I am sure him at Scott will exchange stories playing with Davies as well. Sarpreet is a player that the Whitecaps should be working on. He can fill a position of need as an attacking CM and will pull a thousand enthusiastic Punjabis into BC Pace from Surrey every game. He'd probably do more for attendance than any single player in the MLS-era history of the team. Obinna and Ruffian 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiedPilko Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 2. Bundesliga season started today. Regensburg play tomorrow at 730 AM est.

Bison44 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Aww, cpme on, let him get off to a good start in germany this year. He needs to keep getting better, cause we are going to need him in fall and next year and next year etc etc. Besides, its the strikers dropping out not CB's.

Nate3322 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) I really liked what I saw from Kennedy today he was strong in the air and was solid defensively. His passing was pretty good too.

Ian Kennedy Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) A great start to the season and Regensburg played a solid game. Nice to see the trades/additions to the team make a difference. Scott and the new back Breitkreuz are a powerful combination. The Fotmob, WhoScored and Sofascore evaluation of Scott's performance: 7.2, 7.3 and 6.9. Singh (new) was highly ranked.

If Kennedy can maintain a 7 for the whole season that might be enough for a move to a B1 team next year.
