Ruka would be step up on Krishna.
Worth a contract in my mind.
Didn't Krishna score more, is younger and faster? Though an import slot...When Krishna was good, he was very very good this season.
Ruka is another player with that potential. Sub-Burns in quality.
Totally agree. Having watched almost every game both played this season Krishna was by far the better player overall, even allowing for his late season drop off in form. Rukavytsa can wow you with his pace and a trick or two but spent most of the season running into defenders and losing the ball or firing crosses over to nobody in particular. Another failed former prodigy.
That probably sums it up, just like the discussion about what'shisname last week, Dugandzic. Another young gun who mysteriously peaked quite early. Ernie's quality would be tested in trying to resurrect careers of their like, but who knows? I am not prepared to make a judgement whether it is a punt worth taking by Ernie, like he did with Burns (or even Griffiths - to a degree). He is an expert at that.
In contrast, I am really surprised people are seriously suggesting Karem Bulut. Wellington is not ready for the kind of security step-up that his arrival would require, unless they think that difficulty with getting a parking space in front of bank n Wellington CBD is a deterrent.
