ISL rules say that. 8 international players can be signed with clubs having extra 3 player quota which allows them to sign ether Indians or Foreigners and 1 marquee. so total 12 foreigners can be signed by a ISL Club.
It is better to buy a young player like Michail Antonio rather than buy a old marquee player.If IMG-R want to improve the quality of football they should scrap the marquee theory.

Antonio would be a fantastic signing but it won't happen. Guy has Premier League clubs after him and with his fee, only way to get him is on loan but why would Forest do that?
@deepakc How about we wait and see? The ISL teams have spoken on the issue before and they have said they are looking into academies and such in the future but that it could be 2-3 years before much is done. I don't think the AIFF force the clubs to have youth academies but youth teams, there is a difference between your standard U19 team created a month before a tournament and a full-fledged academy.
@Deb_Ban It should be but slowly. For now I would expect more grassroots involvement to get their feet wet and to increase their experience when it comes to dealing with kids.
Chinese Super league has some pretty huge signings this season. Look at Shanghai squad and see for urself. AFC Champions league contenders? Overall, the league has better players. Better scouting.
