I was trying to say that most athletes who get into the highest levels in their respective fields came from a much better financial background than most people in the country. I haven't done any research on this, so I could be wrong here. I just feel that most of the cricketers and our best...

Sassuolo shouldn't be hard, but are we really interested in him? I haven't seen any credible links so far. And, my intuition says he won't leave Italy, just hunch - I'll be delighted to be proven wrong here if we get him.

Honestly, I was under the impression that the Chinese are more welcoming to sports careers - guess I was wrong!!

Locatelli is the dream, but I don't think he will Italy at all. Neves or Tchouaméni should be ideal.

Guess I was not clear enough. I was implying a 3 mid formation with Bruno - DM- Pogba (most of the people here want this). Honestly, I can't see any mid that will make that mid-field work. Neves is really an exciting option. We have the ball winner in Fred, the energetic one in Mactominay, and...

I didn't know that their dominance in badminton and table tennis has been dropping. Haven't watched the Chinese Super League at all, so can't comment. Maybe they are working their way up slowly and steadily - anyway, it's at least a few decade long process. And, I was under the impression the...

I never said the people who get into sports are not humble. I said most of them are privileged, at least from a financial perspective. As I mentioned earlier, to produce world-class footballers (or athletes), so many things have to happen simultaneously. Yes, infrastructure is severely lacking...

If we are looking for that one defensive mid who can partner Pogba and Bruno in the mid, Neves is not an option. And, I honestly believe such a DM doesn't exist. I really like Neves a few years back; he can pass the ball well, score a worldie, and is very good at free-kicks and corners. For...

Yes, some problems are similar, but not all. I believe they are way better equipped to produce footballers at the highest levels; it looks like they are just not interested. That's why I mentioned that China can produce high-level footballers if they want - they just need to give more importance...

My pick would be this. Pope TAA Stones Maguire Shaw Rice Mount Grealish Foden Kane Rashford

Is there a way to change my screen name? Please let me know.

If China wants, I firmly believe they can produce footballer who can play at the highest levels. But I can firmly say that Indian won't produce world-class footballers any time soon, not in this century. And, I'm an Indian. The underlying problem is that less than .1 % of the population sees...
