player portrait: kraisingha benjakalyani

i thought i might do a "player portrait" from time to time, to let u in on my thoughts and feeling about the team's players.



the first player portrait features Kraisingha Benjakalyani. Kraisingha, nicknamed "kraizy" (pronounced like "crazy", duh), was born in Prathat Thai. he played one match at his home club (opened as and extra inner mid in a friendly game and got 1.5*), and was sold 9 days after he was sold to a day-trading club in the USA. he played there 2 games, and 11 days after his arrival to the club he was put on the transfer list. hapoel kolbo-shalom purchased the 17yo passable playmaker for 135k NIS (27k euro). he was worth 115k NIS at the time.
during the three seasons and 45 games he played that passed since then (35 of them official games), kraizy developed into quite a player! his assessed value is now over 5M NiS, and he has poor experience and 11 goals, including one hattrick. soon, probably as soon as late this season, he will become the club most lucrative sale ever. if this scenario indeed gets realized, he will be sold as a 20yo magnificent player. the revenue from the sale should enable the club to get some enforcments, either for surviving divIII or for getting there... btw, there are also other candidates for the transfer list, but he will probably be the one, because of financial AND tactical reasons.
