The 30-year-old revealed before the match that he has an announcement and it has since been revealed that the reason behind wanting to leave, all comes down to wages.

The talking point on everybody’s lips from this week’s International scene is the confirmed signing of Erling Haaland. The 21-year-old is set to join Manchester City after his release clause was activated for a measly £60 million. Manchester City of course haven’t had a world-class, out and out number 9 since Sergio Ageruo left them in 2021 and the citizens are looking to bolster up their already world-class squad with some attacking firepower to hopefully win them their first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy in the next season. Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Ajax Cape Town goalie Sean Roberts ..read more

Ever since Manchester City’s takeover in 2008, they have been a force to be reckoned with. The citizens have spent over £1 Billion since then but yet, the UEFA Champions League trophy is still out of their reach. Their legendary manager Pep Guardiola has failed on multiple occasions to bring them European glory, however as history repeats itself, this time around is not meant to be. Having boasted one of the most impressive squads in this year’s competition, with the likes of De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, one questions how they managed to let a lead slip like they did, allowing 2 goals in a ma ..read more

With current Ajax Amsterdam coach Erik ten Hag putting pen to paper to become Manchester United’s manager, the Dutchman requested to have full control over which players come into the club and which players leave. This may come as a shock, but putting all of this into the manager's hands and not the people at the top, means he will have full control over the style in the near future. Ten Hag is a super-genius when it comes to tactics and playing style, with a heavy emphasis on youth; hence why he has openly stated that an overhaul is on the cards. Many players such as Pogba and Cavana will be ..read more

As the PSL heads towards the business end of the season, it is becoming more and more unlikely the log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns will be caught as they now hold a gap of 14 points. Second Placed Royal AM seems too far behind the Brazilians. Another aspect pot this season that seems unlikely is Peter Shalulile not receiving the Player of the Season Award. The Namibian striker has scored an impressive 21 goals so far this season, after securing a phenomenal record of 2 hatricks in back-to-back matches. The 28-year-old is well on track to overtake Collins Mbesuma’s record of 25 goals in a single ..read more

With the 2021/2022 English Premier League season coming to the start of the business end, Manchester United find themselves in a measly 7th position on the league table. Having played 30 games (so far) and not having a 50% winning percentage is the biggest concern for the Red Devils. The 9 draws were wasted points and the losses then came as no surprise. United seems to be incredibly unstable and it seems as though everything started to fall apart when Fergie left-back in 2013. As of right now, Manchester United does not have a concrete coach as Ralf Rangink is merely an interim coach but what ..read more

With the International break almost over, the world cup qualification is just about finished which sees 5 very strong African teams heading to Qatar. The regular European and South American teams will also feature. During this international football break, Bafana Bafana traveled to France to play the world champions in an international friendly. 65 places separated these two teams on the official FIFA rankings and ‘Le Bleus’ made sure they meant business. Unfortunately, there was a clear difference in skill level between the two teams; Bafana captain Ronwen Williams made many outstanding saves ..read more

After a humiliating defeat to bitter rivals Manchester City, Manchester United find themselves in even hotter water than before. A dismal defensive effort saw the Citizens crush the Red Devils 4-1. After reports suggested that Ronaldo would be benched and used as an ‘impact sub’ more information developed stating that the 5 time Ballon d’Or winner was yet again suffering from his hip flexor injury which eventually saw the player not feature on the team sheet at all. When current caretaker manager Ralf Rangnick took over, he proceeded to explain that players should stay at the club when recover ..read more

When it comes to financial strength, no team is as strong as Mamelodi Sundowns, especially after they splashed out over R15M on Teboho Mokoena. Does this pose the question, are Mamelodi Sundowns inflating the market? The irony? Whenever Kaizer Chiefs approach clubs to sign players, those players’ price tag gets put up astronomically, which then disadvantages the player, and also brings a sense of unfairness to Chiefs. All of this relates to the recent transfer window! Speaking on the 100th episode of the Carwash, special guest and former Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana defender Matthew Boo ..read more

Pitso Mosimane’s future at Al Ahly has taken an unexpected twist after the latest comments by the club’s director of football. For the last few months, ‘Jingles’ has been negotiating a new contract with the Egyptian giants, which would see a healthy rise in pay for the South African. However, the former Mamelodi Sundowns coach’s comments on this matter have angered Al Ahly. “Regarding my contract with Al Ahly, I am not sure where we are at, we negotiated before the CAF Champions League finale against Kaizer Chiefs, before the Super Cup against Raja Casablanca, and we are negotiating now ahead ..read more
