Great signing by Mumbai City! 🎉 Northeast players always bring that extra energy and work ethic to the game. Hope Bawitlung gets proper chances to prove himself in ISL. We need more talent scouting from I-League clubs!

As a Mumbai City fan, I'm excited but also a bit skeptical. Hope this isn't just another bench warmer signing. Our midfield needs proper reinforcement after last season's struggles. Fingers crossed he delivers!

Good to see ISL clubs looking beyond the usual big names and giving chances to I-League performers. Mizoram has been producing quality footballers for years - remember Jeje Lalpekhlua? Hope Bawitlung follows in those footsteps.

The name might be tough for commentators but his game looks solid! 😄 Jokes aside, this is exactly the kind of signing Indian football needs - young, hungry players getting opportunities at bigger clubs. Best of luck to him!

Not convinced by this signing. Mumbai City needs established players if they want to compete for the title. Why not go for an experienced foreign midfielder instead? Hope I'm proven wrong though.

His stats in I-League are impressive! 20+ appearances consistently shows he's match fit and reliable. Exactly what we need in midfield. Wishing him all the success in Mumbai colors! 💙
