Jul 23, 2012 | Mark Gleeson | 44 comments

ORLANDO Pirates are haggling over a R2-million transfer fee for Tokelo Rantie as the new Bafana Bafana striker's career sits in limbo just a fortnight before the start of the new season.

Those who attended Bucs awards ceremony will know that Rantie will be in Bucs colours this coming season...

On Mbombela cup, when Zebras will be parading their cup in Soweto today Bucs will be meeting with Poppy Motaung to donate Mbombela cup to him as such Cups dont have space at Mayfair....talk about celbrating Mandela's month

Let Poppy Motaung's dogs bark

=====================================
I agree with you 100% Champ, Rantie will be in Black and White colors next season, no doubt about it. Zimbabweans are for the Zebras, not Champions.

Please let us attend the ceremony when Bucs will be doing their 67 minutes in honour of Dr Rolihlahla Mandela by donating a Cup we won yesterday to Zebras(Naturena). we ar trying to help them win a treble this season. the one they won on Saterday, the donation from Bucs and Macufe. it will not get better than this for them

Not even the sky ids the limit, Bucs is the limit. if you don't believe me, ask Sundowns. Gusheshe how are you my Sunflop friend?

@Nzwere, the moment you mention Bucs is like sending a nighmare straight to Chloorkop...

2 games they played izolo, 2 goals scored with 9 Strikers they have.....what a return in investment.

And dont think 2 strikers scored and 7 didnt,none of the strikers scored as it was Madala Nyandoro and Kekana who scored

Ha ha ha who is broke here us or Rats? What is R2m? I have said t so many times that Rats dont pay all those moneys that are demanded from Chiefs when buying players now they cannt pay R2m for their star striker lol. Today they are celebrating R150 000 they won yesterday and Saturday we won R500 000 and we are not celebrating. Who is playing for icala lehagu here? Their game was not even televised to show that is was not important and Rats are celebrating that win. Saturday is the moment of thruth for these Rats the honeymoon is over now

GET THIS MAN ASAP!!! Rather sell all players you just bought and use that money to buy this dude. He is one special player and we cant afford to lose him at this time. R2meter shouldnt be a stumbling block, please go snatch him up

Mamelodi Sundowns have already made a firm offer for Rantie, which exceeds the R2-million asking fee. Insiders close to the deal say the player is not keen to go to the Brazilians because he feels there are already too many strikers at the club and there is a possibility he could be lost in the queue for game time.

@ Rantie.... Your blood is black and white son, remember once a Pirate always a Pirate

Eish, that's bad news for them, for the Naturena boys as well. they can buy the whole nation but we will still be victorius in the field of play.

Pirates were reported to have signed Gcaba from FSS for 3.5m, today we are made to believe they struggle to sign for R2M a player with a huge potential. I dont believe that.

If we do not want to pay R2m for Rantie then we do not know what we want. The fact is that we cannot get him for free. He is not a free agent. Whatever amount Khoza wants pay below R2m amounts to pick-pocketing. As for sundowns, the madness must come to an end. They think buying every good striker will stop teams from beating them. They want to create a prison for all good strikers so that other teams must have no one to score goals. They forget that defenders like Sangweni and Mulomowandau can score goals. They almost lost against Sivutsa stars with a batallion of strikers. Eish!!!! maar!!!

u know there is always something speciall about the name of a great player, u never here of a Bheki or Sipho Nkosi becoming a legend, but u always get people like Action Shimbala, Etien Nsunda, Robsin mchitshwa becoming legends, so ya if rantjie is too expensive let him go buy this Takesure Chinyama, just saying his names give me this good feeling about him.

Ag shame the poor Rantie doesn't want to join the Brazillians bcos there's too much competition (Mphela,Mushekwi,Manqele,etc) and that says a lot about Pie-rats (does that mean there are no quality strikers at Pie-rats to compete with???)

Orlando Pirates Management made big mistake in the transfer window period.They bought better players not of Pirates calibre.Rantie could have given first preference in the transfer window period.They could have buy Rantie and know because there is no money they could have noticed that the players wanted to buy are duplicate.
