Thanks Nocturnal.

Now lest see ...

Added Pavel - Left Pilot = Net Gain. Not a bad move in my opinion, specially for ODI

Added None - Left Mashrafee = Total Net Loss. But not much if they can find someone (internatial ) to play for key matches. Mashrafee will be busy with national team and will not play all the games anyway. Spending 10 lacs in other players may not be a bad idea even though its a PR nightmare to make the fans undersand that. Plus Mashrafee (along with Ash both Mohamedan signee) signed with IPL. So you don't know how much they will end up playing in the local league.

Added Nazmul - Left Shahzada = Net gain. Shahzada can turn out to be a better bowler in future, but not now, spacially in local league.

Added Shariar Nafees - Left Sadat = Net Gain. However I am not really too happy for two reasons: I like Sadat as a future star and Nafees is still off form.

Added Rafiq (not confirmed yet) - Left Sohrawardi Shuvo = Net Gain (for this year). But long term its a loss as Shuvo is a future star and Rafiq is fading quickly. If they spent a lot, that will be a break even or even net loss.

Left Nayeem Islam = Net loss. But how much loss? I don't know.

Added Nadif Chowdhury = net Gain. Should be a good addition.

Added Arafat Sunny = net Gain. Should be a good addition.

Added Shuvashish Roy = net Gain. Should be a good addition.

Added Mithu, Emon, Rajib = don't know much.

After looking too closely the added and subtracted list, its not bad. They lost some superstars, failed to create some splash in the news media....but when you match with players lost vs players gained.... I think they may gained some strength (except may be in opening bowler slot). The real question now is how they recruit their international players.
