Looks like we won’t be getting anymore quality Europeans playing as much as we used to.

is this a chance for a league clubs to finally target Asian countries?

When melbourne City had SafuWan Baharudin  from Singapore it was so refreshing and I heard the people in Singapore loved it as well.

So the benefits of getting players from Asian countries 
Are:

Overseas exposure to the league

Communities will get behind the players 

For the players they will have more opportunities to move from the a league to Europe.

Players will try harder then European journeyman that are only here for a holiday 


That’s my opinion I’d love to see more players from countries like India, Singapore, Syria and Thailand. 

I guess some would argue these players are not up to the a league level but I’m interested to learn other opinions on this.

Brazil. COVID is out of control over there due to stupid government decisions. many will be wanting out and we could get them cheap.

Not a bad idea.  Also a decent amount of Brazilian expats in most cities, so they should settle in pretty quickly.
