So do I Matt, but there is money in India even if Bharat don't really have their own ground. We are probably the best team Boco has played for and he ditched us - okay Plymouth are a bigger club but they were just recovering from administration.
I think we should have offered a contract once it was obvious he was bringing something to the team. Maybe that would have kept him with us, but people are unpredictable.
What's worse is he's gone to play with an ex-Mansfield and Derby? player Bobby Hassell.

Money talks though. A couple of years in India could buy Boco a few more property investments or enough money for the obligatory backhanders to pay Plymouth Planning Board enough to get the green light on his current project. Either way its win win for Boco.

Money will be a factor for him to play in India. Also I wonder if its to do with him investing money to try and buy that property to turn them into flats.

Whether it's a win-win for Boco I'm not so sure. His career doesn't read like a history of great decision-making does it?
He'll get some money for a while, but he wasn't a wanted item before we took him on and as English football is the richest and deepest around, I don't think Chris Turner's goodbye on his CV will see clubs flocking should he want to return.
As I think he can actually play I find it slightly sad.

I've done some research on this Bharat team and its a franchise team which was set up in August 2014 and they have some big money behind it which is why they are attracting English players.

Yes I read that it is company money, but they haven't got their own ground yet and I think Hassell and Boco are the only two with English experience. Almost all the rest of the squad is Indian, dunno how good that makes them.

Boco signed for Portsmouth till the end of the season and has been loaned out at Havant and Waterlooville.

Another good ex-Chesterfield signing.
Chopra soon came back from India, he's at Alloa or somewhere pretty bad.
I wish we'd got a fit Boco.
