Foriegn player? As in "Not malay" ? Or you mean someone like me, born in the UK with a Malay Dad, which would make me eligable to play for either nation?

If the latter, I say Yes!! As long as he's eligble to play, and he's not SOOOO good he would choose england as his nation. If you mean incorperating Singapore/malaysia/indonesia as a single entity (Like joining england, wales and scotland) I say No. Football is Identity, thats why fans are so pationate, lose the identity and we lose the beautiful game. Malaysian football isn't bad because theres no talent, it's still developing. If you look at the youth systems / scouting / and facilities in europe, you could see why malaysia is still behind in footballing terms. Malaysian football still needs development. Nurture the youth in the right manner, and you will see an improvement, granted, it won't be immediate, it may take decades, but hey, Rome wasn't built in a day.

But...There needs to be adequate coaching too, without top draw coaches / managers coming through, skillful players mean nothing. So the 2 go hand in hand.

Schools of excellence, coaching coarses made more available, and a dedicated youth system is whats needed to catch up in asia.

Being a small country isn't an excuse, England is tiny, but we can still produce class players occasionally. And on paper we have a strong national squad (I said on paper lol). Just give it time, things will happen out here!!

Oh, i thought u meant National football, not league. If ur just talking about league football, then yes, i agree and injection of foreign players will be nice. Not only does it add some much needed excitment to the malaysian game, but they also bring with them a wealth of experience. That exp helps not only other players, but the management and coaching staff too. (Training excersises, tactics etc - If a manager want's to listen of course).
