The slight decline in the number of players replaced by clubs in this season's second transfer window has been viewed positively by Malaysian competitions organiser Malaysian Football League (MFL).
According to the organisation, Malaysian clubs have registered 28 new local players and 32 new foreigners within this year's mid-season window, down from 36 and 35 respectively in the previous season's second window. The window was open from May 2 to May 29.
Observers have been critical of Malaysian clubs' penchant for replacing players in the second window, which necessitates extra spending on the new recruits' wages, as well as on contract compensations for the departing players.
