• Local football fans said on social media that Dolly must consider lowering his salary demands while there are questions about his physical shape

Due to financial restraints, former Kaizer Chiefs star Keagan Dolly will not join SuperSport United soon.

Coach Gavin Hunt said SuperSport cannot afford the 31-year-old, who has been training with the squad since his release from Chiefs.

Previous reports suggested Dolly earned a salary of R1 million at Chiefs, which has heavily affected his chances of finding a new club.

According to FARPost, Hunt said the club cannot afford to sign Dolly, even though the player has been a valuable addition during training.

Hunt said:

"I can't, financially, the club will not sign him. For now, he adds numbers [in training] to make it seven-v-seven; otherwise, it is five-v-five. So, at least they make seven- v-seven or eight-v-eight in a small-sided game."

Fans say Dolly needs to make changes

Local football fans said on social media that Dolly must continue working hard in training while he should consider lowering his salary demands.

Zolisa Mateyise said Dolly can be helpful at SuperSport:

"Dolly can be used as a creative midfielder because he is lethal when it comes to pinpoint passes."

Vho-Edmond Matatiele Nangwe is pessimistic:

"He is finished."

Phatela P Mothapo says Dolly has been spoilt:

"He is still enjoying those millions from Amakhosi. He is bigger than himself."
