Ex Kaizer Chiefs Star Weighs In on Saleng's Loan Move From Pirates to Orbit College

• A former Kaizer Chiefs star comments on Monnapule Saleng’s loan move to Orbit College from Orlando Pirates
• The South African international's loan transfer to the newly-promoted Premier Soccer League side explained after fallout with the Sea Robbers
• Netizens also aired their views concerning the Bafana Bafana forward's move to the new team in the Betway Premiership

A former Kaizer Chiefs star has weighed in on Monnapule Saleng's loan move from Orlando Pirates to Orbit College this summer.

Saleng has been cut out of the Pirates team since last year December under Jose Riveiro, and the Spanish tactician's departure also led to the Bafana Bafana star's move this summer.

There are still talks about what led to the South African international's loan move to Orbit College, as both the player and the club have failed to explain what led to issue between both parties.

Morgan Gould, in a recent interview, shared his thoughts on Saleng as he advised the Bafana Bafana star to focus on his football at Orbit College.

"It depends on what his contract actually stated. He came from Free State Stars and eventually reached a salary of R70,000, as you've mentioned. But the issue is, he started seeing himself as one of the top players. There was outside influence, people telling him, 'You're the best player right now, you're not earning what you deserve,'" Gould said on the Switch On Network YouTube channel.

"That’s the wrong mindset. For him to start dragging his feet—that, to me, shows a lack of maturity. If you start doing that now, what do you think will happen? We’re not in a country where dragging your feet gets you released or handed a clearance immediately.

"Here, they’ll show you that their authority outweighs yours. They’ll shut you out of the game you love, football. What he should’ve done was let his football speak for him. Stick to the agreement, play out the contract, and then sit down at the table to renegotiate," the former Kaizer Chiefs defender added.

"Saleng coming from Casric amanga wakho Nadim he came from Orbit College , he signed he agreed to R70 000."

GustavoNinela said:

"No one at Orlando Pirates earns 450k I will die on that hill😭😭😭and how does a player coming from NFD earn 70k that's an insane pay rise."

ISawukazi added:

"Agree, that @PManagementRSA will see a lot of players going through this. Whether the 70k salary is true or not Saleng could have done better, contract is biding and you negotiate for improved salary. Saleng loves pirates but his behaviour definitely smelled outside influences."

Orrin_Ishi_Yi commented:

"Morgan states a valid point, Saleng was supposed to see out his contract then renegotiate new terms for a new contract. You can't sign a 3 or 5 year "legal" contract then come back after 2 years and demand the standing contract which you negotiated and signed to now be changed."

"People are speculative, and Pirates always beat the media until they announce it officially. Leave Saleng issues with the management and his representatives. We've got a team to support, not the issues and rumors."
