Zeca Marques slates Collins Mbesuma

Swallows done with wayward Mbesuma

Posted: 2010-07-26 00:16

Zambian striker Collins Mbesuma, who was given a lifeline by Moroka Swallows early last week when they took him off the transfer list, has gone Awol.

Confirming this to KickOff.com, Birds assistant coach Zeca Marques said that Mbesuma was no longer at training. “He is no longer with us and it looks like he will not be coming back to the team again either.”

Swallows coach Rainer Zobel told the Zambian Press at the weekend that he had enough of Mbesuma’s wayward behaviour.

“We are aiming to challenge for the championship in the coming season. I want to work with disciplined players. We are not going to tolerate indisciplined players at Swallows. I told Mbesuma that he must look for another team.”

In a five-year period, Mbesuma played for six teams – Kaizer Chiefs, Portsmouth (England), CS Maritimo (Portugal), Bursaspor (Turkey), Mamelodi Sundowns and Swallows. It remains to be seen if any PSL team will take a chance to sign the striker, who seems to have a problem of time-keeping.

Zobel also told the Zambian media that striker Lungisani Ndlela must look for a new team if he wants regular game-time.

“I am an honest person. I am not going to waste any player’s time here at Swallows,” the German mentor added.

Former SuperSport United striker Rudzani Ramudzuli, who was on trial, has also been told to stop training with the team as he is just not good enough.

Marques also told KickOff.com yesterday that former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Gareth Ncaca has impressed the Dube Birds technical team during his trials with the club.

Ncaca started training with the Soweto giants few weeks ago after being put on transfer by the Brazilians and now looks certain to don the maroon and white jersey this coming season.

Marques said the former Bay United midfielder will be part of the team travelling to Bloemfontein to play in the Manguang Cup this coming weekend.

“He has been very impressive and proved that he deserves to play for Swallows. We are just hoping that he will sign with us this season,” he added.

Oh dear, what an IDIOT. He was given a chance when he did not even deserve it and this is how he thanks Swallows.

It might happen that age cheatting is catching up with him. He has realised that he is too old to chase the old cow skin. You will never play untill you are 50.
