Sundowns take Hunt to task over Laffor
Posted: 2010-09-09 14:03
Mamelodi Sundowns have rubbished utterances made by SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt on allegations that the Brazilians tried to entice Liberian midfielder Anthony Laffor away from Matsatsantsa.
Hunt was fuming yesterday after Laffor failed to return to the club after being released for national team duty last week.
The Liberian international failure to pitch up at training amid reports that he was set to join the Brazilians before the transfer window period closed last week.
The Cape Town born coach blames Sundowns for 'messing up' the player's mind due to 'dirty tricks' of trying to recruit the player to Chloorkop behind their backs.
"SuperSport United need to take care of their players and not blame others for what is happening in their camp. Sundowns is run by professional people who do things correctly and professionally. We know the right procedure to follow when we recruit a player," says Sundowns’ Public Relations Officer Alex Shakoane.
"SuperSport must deal with their activities. We have never approached Laffor and whatever was said about Sundowns on the issue of the player is rubbish," he adds.
On September 18 Mamelodi Sundowns face SuperSport United in a League match at the HM Pitje Stadium and with all the finger pointing between both camps going on this could prove to be a very interesting meeting.
