According to FARPost, Baloyi said he is not convinced by Morris as Chiefs prepare to face log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday, 1 March 2025.

Baloyi said:

“I haven’t seen enough that I can say he’s a good signing for Chiefs. But hopefully, he can turn around the corner and start scoring; at least he’s getting game time. So far, other new players have been adjusting well to the team. Cele is playing well in the midfield, showing signs that he’s a good signing for Chiefs. Lilepo, as well. In the attack, he brought something to the team. He’s scoring goals and creating opportunities for the team.”

Chiefs fans agree with Baloyi

Chiefs fans agreed with Baloyi on social media, while some said the goalkeeper should not be talking about Amakhosi’s business after leaving the club for Sundowns before his retirement.

Jonas Semenya says Baloyi should not be talking:

“Eish, these legends talk too much.”

Mahlomola Jeremia Dipeere asked a question:

“Everyone has an opinion about Chiefs; why is that?”

Ayanda Mngeni wanted a different striker:

“I'm still surprised by his signing, that TS Galaxy striker would've made more sense.”

Afikah Msilelwa agreed:

“Yes, we still need a striker. Morris is not make sure.”
