"Bold statement as if it was planned. We all know it's a default signing motivated by his free availability on the markets. A serious team cannot build a project with a 2year vision."

TManghana commented:

"Good signing which can turn to be a waste if they don’t get players with leadership qualities. Thats what they currently lack."

Thuso4u responded:

"I like the honesty of the SD. We know his quality. SD was supposed to say at one of the biggest teams in in Africa.."
