sorry brudder, a couple of points I disagree with you....

Brunei is far from being an "advanced" country.... It resembles more like Malaysia than Singapore.

Also, to be best in Asia.... we have to beat Japan, S Korea, N Korea (all of them qualified) plus teams like Australia that has been added to the Asian confederation. To top that off, we have to be able to compete with the Middle Eastern teams (heavy weights like Saudi, Iran, UAE, etc).

I think being top in SEA is more of a feasible target. Let's beat Malaysia and Thailand consistently at all levels (U-21, youth levels, and senior level). Maybe if we do that, we can start crowing such big words!

They can't do that at all levels. They are not allowed to buy services of FT 16 and 17 year olds for their youth squads. LOL.

I think that you've got it wrong, in fact exact opposite. They're allowed to procure the services of foreign youth footballers as long as they're not confirmed at full international level in their national colours. They've been but very few footballers confirmed at full international level before age 21, e.g. Pele (Brazil), Diego Maradona (Argentina), Wayne Rooney (England), Lionel Messi (Argentina) and these are obviously out of reach.

which parent will allow their 16 year old to become the PR of another country, move there, and play for the youth squad?

Plenty if the price is right, but Singapore doesn't even have the talent scouting, talent grooming environment and training facilities to make it right.
