Nkosi: Rejoining Chiefs was first preference

Siyabonga Nkosi: Rejoining Kaizer Chiefs was first preference

Posted: 19 June 2012 Time: 09:28 am

New Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Siyabonga Nkosi feels he has 'unfinished business' at the club.

As KickOff.com exclusively revealed over a week ago, Nkosi is back for his second spell in Naturena, after spending just a season (2006/07) at Chiefs before moving to German side Arminia Bielefeld in 2007.

The 30-year-old says as soon as he heard of Chiefs' interest he turned a blind eye to the other clubs' interest.

"My contract with Golden Arrows was coming to an end in June, so my representative Josiah Mpono told me that there were a few clubs that had shown interest on my services.

"He also mentioned that Chiefs had also enquired – I told him on the spot: 'focus on Chiefs'. Rejoining Chiefs was my first preference," Nkosi tells the club's website.

The Newcastle midfielder admits that he is surprised at the fans' reaction to his return, saying he wasn't aware that the fans would welcome him back.

"I was never aware that so many people wanted to see me return to the club. I am really surprised in the manner people, the fans, have reacted to the news. It is really been exciting to meet fans on the street and wishing me and the team well in the new season.

"I was here the last time and I always felt that I have unfinished business here. I wanted to walk that journey again as I only spent a season there last time. There was a strong feeling to complete the journey I had started.

"As a fan I have always wanted to see the club winning the League and I am glad now that I have been given an opportunity to contribute to the success of the club," Nkosi adds.

Players are using two different strategies to Bobby into signing them. South African version " I grew up supporting Chiefs and want to play for chiefs" and Zim version "I grew up supporting Nengomashe and i wanted to play alongside him."

KHOSI FANS ARE GETTING EXCITED OVER NOTHING, WHAT I LOVE ABOUT PIRATES IS THAT THEY HAVE VISION, THAT IS WHY THE TOOK A COACH THAT HAS BEEN IN THE DEVELOPMENT STRUCTURE FOR SO LONG TO LEAD THE TEAM, HE UNDESTANDS PIRATES VERY WELL, HE KNOWS WHAT IS REQUIRED OF HIM, SAME AS PEP GURDIOLA AND TITO VILANOVA.......WE WANT TO MASTER FOOTBALL AT ALL LEVELS, I KNOW THERE ARE EXCITING YOUNGSTERS THAT PALACIOUS WILL GIVE A CHANCE, HE ONCE TRIED TO BUILT A TEAM BUT AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NO SOLID FOUNDATION TO BUILT A TEAM ON, RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE JALI,ACE,MYENI,PHUNGWAYO,JELE,TLOU AND OTHERS WHO ARE STILL IN THE EARLY 20'S THAT IS LONG TERM VISION, YOU PURCHASE MORGAN GOULD AGED 30, NKOSI 30 AND NKHATHA 41, HOW DO YOU SEE THEM PLAYING IN THE NEXT 5 YERARS? MESSI,PEDRO,CUENCA,TELLO,SANCHEZ,FABREGAS AND OTHERS ARE YOUNG PLAYERS AND ARE DOING VERY WELL....GOOD INVESTMENT, WHILE OTHER TEAMS LIKE SWALLOS,CHIEFS INVEST IN GONE AND OUT PLAYER HEHEEEEE I CANT WAIT TO SEE THESE PLAYERS BEING FOOLED AROUND BY MYENI AND SEGOLELA.................TLTLTLTLTLTLTLTL

TTM is a big fat liar

He always has stories hangin....I am thinking he doesnt even interview the concerned people...uhlale ezwa ngendaba.

Today he brushed some people off with the Manqele story through Sipho Khuse's unnecessary input(okungenzeka futhi ukuthi kube amanga)
