Krishna to become the Judas of all Judases?!?
"Wellington Phoenix legend Roy Krishna wants to be part of the new Auckland A-League team - even if it means crossing swords with his old club."

I’d say it will be marginal if he’s good enough for the ALM now, even as a non visa
Ah come on, of course he is!
He'd probably still be okay, like a Ball, Barba and ole mate David Williams mostly are. But Krishna will be 37 by the time the 23/24 ALM kicks off. He says he still has his pace, and I'm sure yes he studiously looks after his body, but for certain he won't be the Roy of six seasons ago when he last played for the Nix.
And the ISL is a weak comp. Des's Mumbai City finished their ACL campaign, P6 L6 GF1 GA17 GD-16. This week ACFC lost 3-0 in Saudi to Al Ittihad. Mumbai lost their 2 ACL games to fellow Saudi team Al Hilal by a combined 8-0. The best hungry young players in the ALM are a cut above the best young players in the ISL, that Krishna is currently measuring himself against.
Foley Corp are going to spend large on their imports, and a few of them will be up front. But yeah I guess they could find a place for an experienced older local pro like Roy. And yes Auckland has a large Fijian Indian community who love him.
