Super League champions last season, Kelantan looks strong on paper and they have made signings on par of their status as the Nation's top team. Peter James Butler returns after Datuk M.Karathu resigned from his post as the first team coach of Kelantan. The former BEC Tero Sasana Manager is a fan favourite in Kelantan as he coached the team in 2008.

Taking part in the Malaysian Super League, AFC Cup, Malaysia FA Cup and Malaysia Cup, Kelantan has a squad that is able to fight for all the titles. Having filled the quota for foreign players, they have added two more lad for their challenge in the AFC Cup. Serious in making an impression in the AFC Cup, they have signed 4 lads who are able to bring this team to great heights.

Having yet to decide on who to select for the 2 Foreign player quota in the Super League, Kelantan have pledged to make the decision final in the weeks to come. However, according to murmurs,Lebanese International striker,Mohammed Ghaddar and Ghanaian defender,Emmanuel Okine have bagged the spot for the Super League.

Kelantan have also taken attacking midfielders Indra Putra Mahayuddin and Norfarhan Mohammad and defender Azizi Mat Rose from T Team Terengganu. Having featured for them since 2009, their additions will surely bolster the already brilliant squad. Striker, Azlan Ismail, who had a mixed time with Kedah, will be the donning the red and white stripes of Kelantan and he will provide competition for Ghaddar and Malaysian attacking sensation, Norshahrul Idlan Talaha.

Kelantan looks to be the favourites to nail the Super league title but they will face tough competition from Selangor, Kedah and Terengganu. With the likes of Khairul Fahmi Che Mat, Fahrisham Ismail, Nurul Azwan Roya and inspirational captain, Badri Radzi still loyal toward the Red Warriors cause, Kelantan will surely be a tough nut to crack next season.

Verdict: Favourites - They only have themselves to beat, great squad, capable coach...Looks strong for the title

Player to watch: Mohammed Ghaddar - Being the first Lebanese to play in the Malaysian League, the 27 year old international is proven goalscorer and is a regular for Lebanon. Having plied his trade in many Middle Eastern leagues, expect him to be the main goalscorer for Kelantan!
