First up, let me say that i havent watched too much fo the new A-league so far. However i did watch a fair bit of tonights match between the Roar and Sydney and one import caught my eye (no, not Dwight)
It was some sh*t Korean bloke playing for the Roar. He must be one of the worst players ive ever seen at the proffesional level. That first goal to Sydney where he tried some sort of Zidane trick which gave possession away in his own box was farcical. Like a baby trying to walk.
Anyway, my point is that i hope the A-league clubs dont bring in imports just for the sake of having imports. Ive absoluetly no doubt whatsoever that there are plenty of talented local youngsters around who could be taking the Korean blokes spot.
This league will only succeed in the long term if the young players coming through stay in Australia instead of going on to play in sh*tty European leagues (Swiss, Norwegian, Austrian, Belgian lague).
Is there a cap on the number of exports allowed? If not, there should be. By all means bring in blokes like Dwight Yorke who does huge amounts for the A-leagues profile, but lets not waste valuable roster spots on blokes from overseas who can barely walk with a footy let alone do something with it!
