Jun 21, 2012 | Mark Gleeson | 58 comments

NEGOTIATIONS to take Mulomowandau Mathoho from Bloemfontein Celtic to Kaizer Chiefs were reaching a conclusion last night, bringing to a potential close months of speculation over the future of the towering defender.

If this is true, then good investment for the Zoo. He can easily play in the EPL in future before reaching the age of 25.

We bring big houses down with talent, i wonder who they will be fighting for in the next season. Keep on pumping millions for these players while we spend less to acquire them.

Mathoho doesnt look 22 years, he looks 35 but anyway its sad we part ways with him after this hilarious seasons with him, Wish him all the best with the khosis...

Is this boy a real deal or is being overrated, just asking I have seen Celtics games but has never caught my eye as a good defender but hey who am I. We have given opportunities to Isaacs why not him.

@ sowetan u are too slow, the deal was completed yesterday, now my concern is that fatigue will catch-up with this boys re PSL & Bafana games will be too much.

Scrapping vodacom didnt help either coz we already had a pre-season against Gabon.

I hope Komphela en co. can start choosing only Khune in the BB from KHOSILUTION.

Welcome "TOWER". The left-back position needs strengthning. Jumbo and Ritchie don't cut it out for me. When Masenamela was around Jumbo was 4eva on the bench. now that Punch left he's our 1st choice. He doesn't convince me.

Crap, i will only get excited after CHIEFS has issued an official statement or posted in their W'EBSITE. I've had enough of this nonsense form newspapers, we've heard countless stories that never materialised regarding players transfers...what POPPY is saying that this boy is a final puzzle is just not true we cant buy so many defenders and only NKOSI, INKATHA and unknown HLONGWA upfront we need 3 more signings: 1 left back; MAKOLA is available or MASHABA in the middle; ERWIN ISAACS or RODGERS upfront...keeping the same midfielders who failed to get creative and provide scoring chances for the team last season doesnt really cut it for me, is as good as not signing nxa!!!

TAU is out for 3 or more months...the fact that we still have abo'YENDE who never done anything for the team since joining pains me, atleast LEBESE has improved a lot since VV left, we still holding on to cows like JAMBO, KATSANDE, ZVASIYA but letting go of the only good ZIM player in SWESWE...we lost out on SBU VILAKAZI after he committed career suicide by signing a 5 year deal with WITS but didnt try to get GEORGE MALULEKA, we chasing MANQELE but not RODGERS or ISAACS...our problem last season was in the middle when SHABBA was marked we had no one to come in and NKOSI is not a 90 min player (small engine) YEYE is the only hope if he doesnt get injured again but should that happen we are screwed again...

we need more players...we cant release 12 players and only sign half...

I would like to say thank you very much to Bobby Motaung for listening to our complaints and for taking action on them. I have always said that Chiefs need a play maker in the mould of Thabo Mooki and now that Siyabonga Nkosi has been signed, Shabba can play his natural position on the left. That will make us more dangerous this season.

Nice buying quality players but be concerned what it under Stuart Baxter's sleeves. Let me remind you that Lucky Khune is not in his plans.I hope it is not a sign of a coming concern particular to supporters. Ur main focus is conquering Pirates and forgetting small teams . That is the weakest link that you displayed all along which is lack of concistancy. Remember that in football we always noticed classic players and good players. You supporters must relaxed and wait and c whether your team possesses either of the two and then you ca draw a line where are you heading in the coming years. Yes! Bucs has made a record of breaking trebles and it was good after a long drought of years. Learn from them and do better. Dont compete with them but instead compete with yourselves. By doing that you will be able to compete better in Africa.

Leskopresko Yes is good to buy quality players and make Zebras supporters happy. Remember the pressure will be in your team the coming season .Dont jubilate like a narrow minded support who possesses little knowledge about football. Football has suprises- Yes! demostrating your lousy Khosi rice comment on the net ,play well and later loose the league. Remember Pirates spent years without a league silverwear but made history of winning tribles that no teams has done. You know what was the secrete? they never compete with Chiefs instead competed with themselves. Yes you can say fake titles bcos of ur little knowledge of football. Dont think other teams are sitting on their assess and do nothing? Or maybe you dont know about so called spoilers teams. When was the last time Chiefd win the league? Was it fake when they won it previously? According to me is was not. Please dnt be excited like a small boy who has been given lolly.n give good comments
