MADEA'S extending his stay @ Mayfair
MADEA'S in Marketing

Once A Pirates, Always A Pirates....

That's good to hear. I wonder what will the chiefs fans say. They'll start to label him with all sorts of names though they wanted him.

Fact: he is a buccaneer for life!

No one wants him.....Why would any team want to sign a 35yr old Fat player who weighs 148kg and pay him R450 000.......he is using Pirates...

Why for life...

Batshele Benito. now we will continue on our joursney towards getting the second star and of course successfully defending our league title

Once ans ALWAYS boy
NO team wears a Golden Star above their badge here
We are the ONLY Ones

Y'all green with envy aren't you?

I met Benni the other day, I was amzed how slim he is now.....I hear he has been training boxing....that excercise worked wonders. Without injuries a light Benni will score goals this second half of season.

Benni is still in the mission of winning the African Champions League to add to Uefa Champions league and he knows his only hope is,,, Orlando Pirates..!!

Asizwanga...uthini?....

Khoza must just give this man a contract with a clause of joining the technical team, Our strikers can learn from this Legend

Benni + Mbesuma = Double Train..!!

"I'm a Buccaneer for life," he adds...everywhere he played he has won Championship.

This is the most succeful soccer player in Mzansi and he is the most well decorated player ever.

a natural goal scorer.

Am happy that bucs will keep their Benni, Chiefs their Tshabalala and us our Mphela...

Old team Old cow striker fat Bum bum . Big Team quality strikers Major and Parker

ePhefeni they shaking in their boots, phela bakwazi kahle Bennito.....well done boy, Pirates is a way of life. Addicted to winning.

@The Phefeni Boy

I'm saying you cant compare Benny with half your team, his involvement in OP is worth it. All your players put together are a bad investment for the KC chairman, no ROI so far.

ngicabanga ukuthi uyangizwa manje

chiefs fans wanted bennie? which fans are those? ek se, ons het die hond en major, why would we want a man who hasnt scored even a single official goal this season? some people's comments are.......... hai, whats the use, these illeterates will never learn. Ghost Rider, i dedicate this piece to you boss...

Benni + Mbesuma + Chinyama = Treble Train..

Rubbish, sdudla

Once you go BLACK, you don't go BACK!!!!!!

Hahahahahahaha! Let izikhonkothi zika Bobby bark that same old broken record of "We never wanted him anyway in our team" and "He's a Chimps by heart."

In the words of Benni: "Julle frontless teeth mense moet hoe op!"

Up the Bucs for Life...

Fact is the Iron Duke is no fool, there's no way he will continue to pay him so much.For Benni to stay he will have to accept a hefty pay cut. With his pride that's unlikely to happen, so despite him sucking up he will be out in the cold come June.

Champ "Superbrand": he was on SABC 3 Expresso, i was moved by the way he speaks of Pirates, Graeme ask him why he joined Pirates and Bennie with his Jack Russels said "players join Pirates to win important and bigger things".

i was shocked by the amount of weight lost by him, this means goals for all of us.

BBM is our legend, role model and our star.

thats why they are leading the goal scoring charts! yah, pierats have some deadliest strikers on their books, ek se vir jou. tl tl tl tl ki ki ki ki (puuu fase!)

This is one player which Pirates got their Retur On Investment. He contributed immensely in the Champs second Double Treble.

I think out of loyalty Dr Irvin Khoza must give him a contract with an option to play a role in our Marketing Department.

Once and Always till eternity

Even if that was the case, Bennie does n't see himself anywhere except at Pirates, he told u and the media, money is not an issue, u can talk about anything, he will come tops.

Are you aware of the sponsorship line up this boy has, he is also working a music album.

He has done it all, has no point to prove la eMzansi but to enjoy his life at Pirates.

They call you Fatty but the goal you score to them are far than FAT...

Lol Not even one team was intererst in him vele. No team would sign a 35 year old , 148 kg , R450.000 nd 00 goals in 6 months!!!!

Bennie McCarthy has played only 1 season since his return but he has achieved more than any Chiefs player, management and technical team.....Fact.

welldone bennie mafutha we love u @the galaxy since u are the best achiever ever in the history of SA football if anyone disagrees just take your thumb out of your @ss ...up the bucs

Bennie helped Porto to third place in the league and automatic qualification for the UEFA Cup by scoring an impressive 12 goals in only 11 matches, but Porto's finances did not allow them to keep the player, despite the desire of both sides to continue.

while Bennie was saving teams abroad Lucas Radebe was busy relegating Leeds.

only one season u manage to achieve what one legged sende can dream off even that so bob-cut star called Majoro can even dream off ...once and always ..up the bucs

Shem why make such statement after your negotiations with Ajax failed to materialised? Fact is this guy is viewing Pirates as a 2nd option because we all know that his childhood dream is to play for Chiefs.

@ Treble Champ King

He didn't win a championship with Celta Vigo, Blackburn & Westham! Just responding to the misleading word 'everywhere'.

aggg no news here when will this bumba bottle start with his new role of washing i rvin khoza ZCC uniforms at mey fer fo life?

Hlabarinto: Of course lets talk about it.

West Ham United

McCarthy completed a move to West Ham United for an undisclosed fee on transfer deadline day, 1 February 2010. He signed a two and a half-year contract that was due to run until the summer of 2012. He made his Premier League debut for West Ham United against Burnley at Turf Moor in a 2–1 defeat on 6 February 2010 where he sustained an injury that would keep him out for six weeks.[In February 2011 having played just 326 minutes of football, making only three starts and failing to score any goals for West Ham, McCarthy was left out of West Ham's 25-man squad for the rest of the 2010–11 season. He was also offered a £1 million pay-off in return for tearing up his contract.In April 2011 McCarthy left West Ham by mutual agreement, with a £1.5million pay-off, after agreeing to terminate his contract with West Ham. He made only two Premier League starts and fourteen appearances in all competitions scoring no goal.

He was a winner, nice settlement amount.
..............................................................................
Blackburn Rovers

On 25 July 2006, McCarthy flew out to England to undergo a medical and probable contract signing to join Blackburn Rovers[8] and, three days later, signed a four-year contract with Blackburn Rovers for a £2.5m fee.

After a disappointing performance in the side's 3–0 defeat to Portsmouth, McCarthy found the net on his debut at Ewood Park against Everton on 23 August 2006. McCarthy further endeared himself to Rovers fans, scoring a goal on his European debut for the club in a 2–2 against Salzburg in the UEFA Cup, and scoring another in the return leg. He finished second top scorer in the Premier League in 2006–07 with 18 league goals (24 goals in total).

The following season got off to a bad start for McCarthy when he was stretchered off in the opening day win against Middlesbrough. Benni was out of action for a few weeks and found first team opportunities limited, largely because the form of new striking arrival Roque Santa Cruz. Despite being limited to largely substitute appearances, McCarthy did find the net a total of eleven times in all competitions.

In the 2008–09 season McCarthy appeared to be out of favour with new manager Paul Ince, as the club's strike force was strengthened with the arrivals of Carlos Villanueva and Robbie Fowler to join the already established Roque Santa Cruz, Jason Roberts and Matt Derbyshire. However, he answered these critics by scoring his first goal of the campaign – a 94th minute equaliser in a Premier League match against Middlesbrough.

In all competitions, for Blackburn Rovers, McCarthy scored a total of 52 goals in 140 matches.
........................................................................................

Bennie sustained a lot of injuries through out his career, in UK he was unfortunate due to injuries as a results, he picked weight.

Of cause you are as theres no retirement village axcept Pierates

This reminds of the likes of Dumisa Ngobe, Jerry Skhosana, the late Manyathela, Myeni, the BB 2013 AFCON topgoalscorer, prior joining Bucs , they didnt see themselves playing for Bucs but their noisy neighbours, but as soon as they were roped in, all those desires quickly evaporated and replaced by joy (enjoyment of being associated with Bucs).

I must admit that Iron Duke played a tremendous role in maintaining Bucs brand when, at one stage (in early 90s), it looked like we would go extinct like former great teams like Highlands Park, Durban City, Benoni United, etc. He rescued the teamin less than 5yrs we were already Champions of the whole continent. There were challenges along the way especially when he paid more attention to his other interests than Bucs, that made the team to go 6yrs without a trophy. After the WC he said he will put more energy to his team, the result was double treble which got even doomsayers tongues wagging. Last year he talked about the 2nd star but got booted out before he even started to the joy of the doomsayers. However, he maintained his 2nd star aspirations and I believe without a sheer of a doubt that it will be achieved, it may not be this year still but will ultimately be achieved, simply bcos 'what Khoza wants,.....'.

And then wena ungubani? Futhi udume ngani? Please introduce yourself wena Mrs Defunct...

Desperate times calls for desperate measures (self marketing), an amazing relationship with Toothless is not an amazing relationship with Roger Dlisa, and Toothless will not continue to pay you if you are not on Rodger Dlisa's plans.

Who cares?

Mafatty, u not staying there by choice, no team wants madalas like you. U have no choice but stay at chibuku fc and enjoy porridge and Mbamba. Who will will want an overseas reject like you who is a soccer player but double as a kick boxer, or wrestler?

So the reason Gorilla fans tolerate Maffatty is because he is most successful player in mzanzi, not because he can still do the job on the field, haaahahahahaaa, this team is a joke. I bet he pays the salaries of all the players and staffat mayfair including some of the stupid blogers in this forum.

I remember 'falling in love' with Pirates, I was just a kid, an infant if you will, when all the associations in the country amalgamated into one, in 1985. For me it wasnt about 'following the crowd' or about following a team that rakes cups, but I liked certain players , the likes of Botsotso Makhanya, Tebogo Moloi made me to like Pirates. As time passed by and I was growing my like turned into a love. However, the team started to deteriorate bit by bit (as said, almost went extinct in early 90s) , the painful truth is that the likes of fundowns, tortoises, swallows, and even cosmos were really powerhouses at the time. Iron Duke came around and the rest is history. However, my love and support for the team never changed even during the tough times simply bcos 'Once a Pirate,.....", indeed im a Bucanneer for life

For life ......? Bull crap, u like KAIZER THE ONLY HIGH STANDARD AVAILABLE IN THIS PLANET so much in a way that u even include their theme ( FOR LIFE ) , we dont need fat boxer @ NATURENA. U will retire just like tick sniffer ( minenhle josefa)

A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.

Benni must mature once. The man has done and can still offer more to soccer. He must mind his language even on TV as a commentator. I think Benni can still do even 3 more years with discipline. "BENNI, YOU ARE NOW DOING IT FOR SOCCER AND THE FUTURE PLAYERS, YOU HAVE MADE YOUR MONEY ALREADY. COOPERATE WITH THEM. YOU CAN DO MORE, THINK BENNI"

Let us unite behind Bafana Bafana especial with prayers, NO POWER ABOVE GOD.

The all time BB top goal scorer.

Is there any one close to beating this record? How far is ParCow with closing the gap between himself and McCarthy in terms of BB goals? What about MajoCowro?

Still on the top goal scorer matter...any tortoise that answers this one will receive a voucher to have a date with Ms J. Who is the leading goal scorer for BB at the AFCON 2013 and which is he plying his trade at?

READ: Benni's next move still unclear

"If he [Khoza] calls me tomorrow I will go sit down with him… I actually spoke to him recently and we will speak again after the Afcon. I don't see myself venturing out elsewhere… I'm a Buccaneer for life," he adds.

The 35-year-old's contract with Bucs expires at the end of June.
==============================================
KO is a joke of a media agency. You said it's unclear as if we at OPFC owe you any explanation of every move we make...who do we sign...which player's contract to be extended...is Kalaba signing...how much do they earn, etc. We do our things in our own pace and within the right channels. We are not chiefs who do their business at KO offices. You will only hear from us at the right time.
