Ok I don't want make an argument just wanna put my thought here,
let say FAM gives permission for each states or clubs using 2 foreign footballer means state or club surely will fully utilise those players.
So I'm asking..
1)Which the most vital position in football? Defender,midfielder or striker
2)Which position has the fewest players ? Defender,midfielder or striker
I'm giving my humble answer and it's arguable ( I excluded keeper cause football suppose to be attacking game)
1) Striker
2) Striker
For the record, typical Malaysians mind set will put more trust on foreign over local.... So this will not help on developing our local league..
Lets give 3 more years to strengthen football foundation in Malaysia before decided to permit foreign in our local league.
I'm Man Utd fans but I'm not watching every single matches just look up the results. Only important games I will not miss it... Same goes to local league,
My favourite team is KL cause they got youngsters and always produce good youngsters.

i agree with you man... the no import condition should have be extended to a few more years to yield more concise result into our national team development.. at least until they are ready for Asia Cup 2015....
but i guess KAFA's ambition just cannot wait for that...

It goes boyh ways. Locals knowing that they have to compete with a better foreigner for a starting 11slot must buck up their game to be chosen. The incentive of one upping a better player is a good goal for them and in the long run can raise the standard higher
the competition for places between import players and local players is just an hyped up myth. There will be no competition. The import players are ability wise already ready made, paid more and an key marketing icon. They will be played even if they are half fit or not on form. Picking a right import player is heavy investment and a burden fall on the shoulder of the coaches, so they coach will better back him up to succeed. And if he not, the player will be replaced by another import player.
my point is, import player's competiton plane is on different plane to local players. Saying they are fighting on the same plane is not accurate.

I don't see what's wrong with Foreign strikers. Defenders will get to cope better and not conceed like mad every game.
its a number game. As it is, rajagopal already on a headache when Safee sali or Nor Shahrul is injured. imagine next season when his pool of eligable candidate for striker will be cut to half.
he might has to go way down to the primier league level to find a true blue goal scoring striker for the national team..
