TRANSFER ROUNDUP

Mamelodi Sundowns added Argentine fire-power to their attack to complement an already strong South American influence in the club. Emiliano Tade joins an attack that boasts Uruguayan playmaker Gaston Sirino and Jose Ali Meza of Venezuela while Brazilian Ricardo Nascimento is part of the club’s defence.

Tade signed a four and a half years contract from AmaZulu. The club is pushing paperwork to ensure that Tade is also registered in the CAF Champions League. Tade is a well-travelled forward who is playing in his third continent. He played in his native South America before going to Oceania where he regularly hit the back of the net in New Zealand. Tade is not the only big business Sundowns did in the January transfer window.

The Brazilians extended Anthony Laffor’s contract for a further two years. The Liberian is an integral figure at Sundowns. He led the 3-0 demolition of Zamalek in the first leg of the 2016 CAF Champions League Sundowns won to be African champions for the first time.

Bonginkosi Ntuli joined AmaZulu on a permanent basis. The burly forward had been loaned by Sundowns to Usuthu.

George Lebese was loaned to SuperSport United until the end of the season.

    We real needed to do some particularly with our arsenal, the fire power has been up to par with our standard and we improvised fairly often to get to this far. welcome boy wishing you all the and just be strong spirited and got give up so quickly its a home where you do not be part of and contemplate a divorce when pressure mounts, just be a strong man and don’t give up.

  2. THANK YOU BOYS, We created a lot of chances and missed them, hit cross bars so many times. Tade scored on his debut.pressure on Brockie now. I would also like to congratulate the fitness team for such a wonderful job of getting our players fit after playing so many games in a short space of time. Technical team for a good game plan.

  3. Thank you boyz u performed very well.
    We must partner
    Madisha & Lebusa @
    the centre of the defence. Nascimento
    & Onyango are suspects . I would like
    to see a second assistant coach in our
    bench

      Nascimento has always been suspect. I concur with you KhayZ.

      As. For Onyango, am not sure. He has done great over the past 2 years or so. It might just be a question of being over zealous. I guess he just needs a bit of pep talk from the technical staff.

      My concern is Lebo. He seems to be out of sorts a lot of times. I guess he is out if sorts a lot of times and is losing possession a lot of times, cant hold on to the ball and I am not really show of what he is doing.

      That just my view point though and it’s up for scrutiny.

    Our players were clearly tired. They would’ve burried that team if they were fresh. Credit to them for pushing themselves to the limit. I’m just hoping the technical team will refresh the team next week in our game against Leopards. Players like Themba Zwane needs to be protected

    We played well guys.proud of my boys and the technical team. I was so happy cause after scoring a second goal we did nt do the “managing the game nonsense” we pushed n pushed and we should have scored more goals. I saw some nice touches from sugar last night.keep up the good work.we criticize you cause we know what you are capable of. My blood remain yellow

      Haaahaaahaaa ?. Member, I actually saw the coach telling Lackay after the 2nd goal to tone it down. You can go and wath the game and you’’ll see it

    Congratulations! One game at a time. The reason we lost to Amazulu we were focusing on this game . This is an undeniable fact, we must take one game at a time. The fixtures are always before us, with a big squad like ours with such a talent, we can focus on one game at a time, Black Leopards must never be undermined. In actual fact from now hence forth the attitude of the technical and the team must clothe themselves with the same attitude and approach as if the next game is Waydad Casablanca, the intensity of things, the urgency, the mood of things must be serious than ever, that attitude will make us win games in an amazing way. The same impact must be put as if we play Orlando Pirates, there is no small team in the league,all games players must take them seriously,converting chances, the so called small teams can disturb you badly, they can leave you with a painful regret. Players defenders including goalkeepers to remain switched on, the goals conceded towards the end of the match its a result of lack of concentration and of course tiredness. Why not us score on dying minutes like Tade, who only came for six minutes and scored. You don’t need 11 games to score two goals in all competitions.

    Congrats to the team for showing character to bounce back after two successive defeats.
    Happy for debutant Tade for scoring. Mshishi is definitely Sundowns’ heart beat. Agree with fellow Sandawanas that players such as Maboe, Onyango and Nascimento need to guard against complacency. I’m glad guys like Lebese and Silva are out of the picture because they were clearly poisonous to the team. How can a multiple league winning coach be a weak coach? What has this Silva achieved? I really hope Ngoma has been registered for CAF. Good luck to the team for the rest of the season.

    Now this is what I call healthy competition,langerman performed poorly against AmaZulu n lakay came in to his place yesterday,ngcongca didn’t perform well midweek n Morena came into his place yesterday.now we jst need to bench Maboe so dat he can catch a wake up.great performance by da boys!!!!

  9. Skhumba

    I just read your comments but no one is talking about Serino. For me he is the best player in that team. If he is on song the team will score. He is a bit temperamental but he is by far the best player in the current squad. Im not undermining the contribution of other guys though
