#4 Manandeep Singh
Three years and no goals. That’s more than likely to see you land on these kinds of lists.
One of the names that turned heads when Minerva Punjab announced its squad for the I-League this season was that of Manandeep Singh. About three years ago, Manandeep was the rising star of Indian football and that reputation was further bolstered when he commanded a price of Rs. 42 lakhs for the opening season of the ISL by the Delhi Dynamos.
However, that season was brought to an end by an injury and the brawny striker has never quite found his feet ever since. He went unsold in the next auction, and then got a chance with Kerala Blasters, which was, however, not a successful one. That was followed by trials in Norway and a stint with Salgaocar. And finally, on to Minerva.
The man from Hisar, Haryana is yet to figure out his game and his time to impress is running out. He looks like another example of talent that is likely to bite the dust. After some listless performances for the new I-League side, Manandeep was axed from the matchday squad for the last two games.
