“It’s not clear if he is staying or not. But to be honest if he was staying then talks would have started by this time. Seriously his future right now hangs in the balance.” a source told SoccerLaduma.

“It’s very unclear. But as we know he had been living on borrowed time for some time now because it seems he is not part of the team’s plans going forward and hence the delay in negotiating a new deal with him. It’s clear it won’t happen.”

“I don’t think the team is doing too badly. Since coach Cavin Johnson took over, the performances have improved, but I still think they need a striker. One that can score goals for a living,” the former Kaizer Chiefs man told SoccerLaduma.

“They have all the other departments well balanced, but the striking department has not been doing very well.

“So I hoped that in January they would look at that department and bring in a top finisher to ease the pressure on the other strikers in the team. That’s what we really needed in January.”
