PSL clubs out to finalise last-minute transfer deals

Clubs out to finalise last-minute deals

Posted: 2012-01-29 19:28

With the January transfer window closing on Tuesday, clubs are racing against time to bolster their ranks ahead of the resumption of the League.

Orlando Pirates – who have been one of the most active clubs on the transfer market – are likely to snap up more players as they look to retain the League title as well as mount a strong challenge in the 2012 African Champions League.

After signing Portuguese international Luis Boa Morte, Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza has promised that "another big fish" would join the Sea Robbers.

Khoza's statements come at a time when fromer Arsenal player Freddie Ljungberg is being linked with a possible move to either Pirates or Kaizer Chiefs.

The Bucs are also after SuperSport United's Thandani Ntshumayelo, who is said to be involved in a swap deal that will see Sameehg Doutie moving to Matsatsantsa.

According to player agent Tim Sukazi the deal "is in its final stages" and could be completed on Monday.

Moroka Swallows captain Lefa Tstsulupa is likely to be offered a three-year deal as the club is eager to retain the services of one of their key players.

Both parties have agreed to a deal, with only a few minor outstanding issues standing in the way.

"The deal is 90 percent complete and Lefa will be staying with Swallows," says player agent Xolani Nhleko of Prosport International.

Talented Wits midfielder Sfiso Myeni has three clubs – Pirates, Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns – chasing after his signature and is likely to conclude a deal on Monday after publicly announcing his desire to move to another club.

Meanwhile, Free State Stars coach Steve Komphela – who has ruled out signing any new players during the January window – is scoffing at numerous reports linking him with a move to Kaizer Chiefs.

"That is an old issue and I am tired of commenting," Komphela tells KickOff.com.

"I have indicated that I will remain at Free State Stars but people are still speculating," he adds.

Nothing new about this reporting.

Boring Viktor!

The Ghost: 2012-01-29 21:11

@ zico wa le downs, Christmas comes but only once a year. If you think ANY team from Botswana can beat this current Orlando Pirates club then I will say you need to have your head examined. I would have used harsher words to drive my point across, but really what good would it do when we both know that what you are saying is just that - a dream. Or shall I say a wet dream.

Dr Muokento : 2012-01-29 22:02

SIFISO MYENI UPDATE:

Myeni becomes YELLOW!


As the news first broke out on the 17th of January through BidVest Wits' CEO & Head Coach Mr. Roger De Sa on Metro FM Discovery Sport Centre show that Mamelodi Sundowns' club president Mr. Patrice Motsepe was strongly pursuing Mr. Sifiso Myeni to join the unique happy Yellow Nation.

Today the pursuasion finally pays off and it becomes a living reality. Mr. Sifiso Myeni happily agrees to finally become truly Yellow for 3 years and beyond.

As expected, the hypocritical rancorous idiots associated with teams from some famous township in SA whom are always bitter and frustrated, immediately SWITCH to name calling naively forgeting that they are very same clueless idiots who were noisily lobbying for their chairmen to sign the talented star midfielder to join the favourite teams. The names of the "THOSE" teams will remain concealed to preserve the intergrity of this report.

Mr. Sifiso Myeni is expected to join his new colleagues who are camping in Polokwane as from the 2nd of February 2012, however, in the meantime the repetition of words like WELCOME, YELLOW, HAPPY, etc dominate their comments throughout the entire media platforms.



"'Zzrrrr, zzrrrr, zzrrrr!'" EISH whats that noise, oh man its my alarm clock. THE WHOLE THING WAS A DREAM. Strangely enough it seemed SO real. Or is it DÉJÀ VU?!?

Yah neh, anyway,




Yellow Is The Colour! (of HAPPINESS) I know I said HAPPINESS.

sadawana : 2012-01-30 06:37

happy wet dreams specialone

mr cool  : 2012-01-30 06:57

this boy must know if he wants 2 join the galaxy of stars he will have to fight hard to make the starting eleven with Klate and Tlou being the best wingers in the country with five trophies in 18 months it is going to be hard so I suggest join the zebras u will be the king there and they will teach u hlokoloza once and always till guluva finds a straight manager not a gay

Laaste Khosi: 2012-01-30 06:57

Hahaha Special One. Post of the decade. You got me going there for awhile. Awesome dude.

zakes : 2012-01-30 07:17

Myeni is insane, cm to chiefs boy not pirates or sundowns

mhlanga zakhele langeloop : 2012-01-30 07:20

Kaizer senior has lost his magic touch, I love this club but I an dissappointed dat no player has been lured to naturena

Sweyts : 2012-01-30 07:31

Haw! SpecialOne, ushukuthi Dawana lam you had a nightmare mfethu? Uphuphe kabi jong!

Maar atleast for me, it's not as bad as dreaming of say......Mbuyane so, phela then you would've woken up screaming and sweating heavily! lol.

Myeni should rather join Downs when he's a bit wiser and complete a player I concurr Brazilitto's, right now he's at a higher risk not to be fielded at Downs, unless he truly beleives in himself then he can give it a bash, the best bet for me right now would be Pirates, 'cause we can get whoever we want at Cemetery 101, where talents are laid to rest. mh.

Yellow Monday!

brazilitto : 2012-01-30 07:49

@sweyts...cemetery 101 lol ikwamshayazafe. Only the already dead(eg captain okapi) survives. On a serious note Dawane do you think he will make it at downs. Phela lapha you have to be smart to survive. Talent alone is not enough

brazilitto : 2012-01-30 08:11

It sas that most chivs fans are finding it hard to bliv that fat garfield is sleeping on a fireplace( ikati lilele eziko) kwaaaaaaa ubobby kuzomele ayobhalisela imali yeqolo

Sweyts : 2012-01-30 08:13

Exactly Brazilitto's ngeke alunge right now, it's worse that he's carrying an injury (broken leg) because he wo'nt just come back and play at Downs, Chiefs has a good record of buying Code 2's and rebuilding them, but we all know that they'd rather sell us lady Jessy, than a footballer. lol.

So, in comes the University of burials or hospitilisaton.mh.....The Ghosts, as long as we have cash money ku-briefcase, The Duke ca'nt resist the smell of it....let him join Pirates I say.....without the jewellery clause inserted in the contract ofcourse! lol.

Dooba OPC: 2012-01-30 08:24

Someone should teach the Motaungs about the value of TRANSPARENCY- you cannot expect to have loyal fans supporting you when you give them nothing because " you dont want to feed the media". But Motaungs forget that the media is actually the people. Without the media we would not not of "them" and they would not know of "us".... and they want to win the league?

Sweyts : 2012-01-30 08:31

lol, Brazilitto! Uzozwa ngabo half eight-to 9, when the government employees report to duty en-masse, uzogcwala i-verstaan! lol.

It's politically correct to say.....The majority in our country are battling to make (transfer)ends meet. tl,tl. U-hulumeni must intervene fast, transfer vouchers if not i-disability grant, might help. mh.

Champ "Superbrand": 2012-01-30 09:14

Myeni was going to sign for Inkatha Freedom Chiefs until Nyawana fail the auditions, now he is caught between Sundoms and Multi champions, either way he is not guaranteed a starting eleven and he cant sleep well at night, sweating the whole night.

Champ "Superbrand": 2012-01-30 09:17

Breaking News: Chiefs Get Their "BIG FISH"

Amakhosi have pulled the rug under Orlando Pirates & Mamelodi Sundowns' feet following the swoop signing of Wits University midfield maestro Sifiso Myeni. Although mum about the acquisition, Chiefs are expected to parade him alongside Zimbabwean international striker Mohammed Abbas and two other "supposedly" deadly attacking midfielders on Tuesday at the Chiefs Village in Naturena.
Myeni has been the topic of the mid-season transfer window after disclosing his wish to exit the Students' class.
It had been reported that Sundowns first made a bid for the talented midfield genius, which Wits accepted, but personal terms negotiations with the player hit a brick wall.
Pirates joined the race upon hearing of the situation, but only to learn that their bid was not enticing enough to convince Wits to let Myeni go although personal terms between the player and Pirates were seemingly ironed out.
Chiefs appeared the latter, opting to go for the kill after observing the state of affairs surrounding the player. Myeni is now tied to Chiefs for 3 and half years, keeping him at the Naturena based outfit until June, 2015.- Blinksports
