Prayag United SC sign Subrata, Mangi & Baldeep!

The big spenders of Indian football, Prayag United SC yesterday formally signed three new players on two year contracts - India No.1 goalkeeper Subrata Pal, key India centre-back Gouramangi Moirangthem Singh and influential midfielder Baldeep Singh.

After having earlier signed players of the calibre of I-League record scorer Ranty Martins Soleye from Dempo SC and Costa Rican World Cupper Carlos Hernández Valverde from Melbourne Victory the addition of these three players will give even more options to coach Sanjay Sen.

Director of Prayag United SC Nawab Bhattacharya said, "Subrata Pal is the ace goalkeeper in the Indian football scenario and Gourmangi Singh is well known for his defending acts. Along with them we also have midfielder Baldip Singh to add to the strength of the team and cover positions."

"We are happy to have them aboard with us. They will surely play the local matches but we are aiming for the Federation Cup with the players of their likes," Nawab added about the immediate aims.

One thing is clear. For Prayag United just to finish amongst the best will no longer be enough in the Federation Cup and I-League and comparisons with big spending European clubs like Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain FC have been made. Now the purple brigade will have to get results and trophies.
