2002 S-league Player of the Year Therdsak Chaiman
is set to make a return to the S-league but there is a question mark over which
club he would play for in 2005 as both uniform Kingpins Home United & SAFFC
lay claims over the Thai midfielder.
It is certainly not difficult to see
why the 25-year-old is wanted by both clubs looking for the S-league crown in
2005, for apart from scoring 27 S-league goals the Thai performances had led
the Warriors to the S-league crown in his debut & only season in 2002.
To Home United coach Steve Darby, he
believed the Thai is heading to Bishan as the
Protectors have make him an offer & the Thai had in return given his word
to Steve Darby as well as his fellow countryman, Home United midfielder J.Surachari
that he will sign a contact with the Protectors.
Therefore Darby would be most unhappy
& disappointed if the Thai go back on his words now as he believed Thais
have a strong word of honour.
Not that it matter to the Warriors as SAFFC
manager Kok Wai Leong strongly believed the Thai want to come to the only
local Western-based club. To him, the Thai would go to SAFFC if he indeed has a
word of honour for the Warriors have been courting
him since June.
As for the man in the middle, Therdsak
Chaiman, he is unable to shine any light on the saga as
he is still undecided.
The Thai admitted he had indeed
promised J.Surachari to join him at Home United.
However to Therdsak Chaiman as he still had not signed any contract, he still wanted
to listen to the Warriors for their manager Kok Wai Leong had been asking him to return
to Warriors for a while now.
That is why the Thai will personally
go to
