While Praising Teboho Mokoena, Stan Matthews slams Sipho Mbule.
Teboho Mokoena’s move to Mamelodi Sundowns ended the rumours that were going around for a long time with the Born winner boy Securing a dream move to Masandawana.
Stan Matthews reveals all that went down during the transfer of Teboho Mokoena and a bit slap on Sipho Mbule’s face by calling him Overweight nor fat. On SAFMSportOn With Thabiso Mosia
“Teboho could have made this move in August but we blocked it cos we still needed him. But now we thought it was the right time to release him. We’ll probably finish it in the Top 4. So he must go and win trophies. He will win his first trophy in a few months ”
“It was the right thing to do for us. Teboho had one year left on his contract. We couldn’t lose him for free at the end of the season. Also, we couldn’t match the offers that were coming from here and Europe. We have young talent coming through and will continue to produce”
“We could have taken less money and claimed a feather in our cap, saying we sold a player to Europe. There was some interest from Europe but the one offer was 200 thousand Euros less than his buy-out clause. Even Teboho wasn’t happy with that”
“He told us which offer was attractive to him and we had to make the right deal for the player. We have no problems in selling our players to the Big Three because we know that we can’t compete with them financially”
“Teboho and Sipho came from the same club and at the same, but their progression has not been the same. Sipho’s conduct has not been great, unlike Tebza and he knows it too. So we can’t reward that behaviour. In terms of his discipline, we are not happy”
“We love Sipho, he’s a great talent, there was interest in him. But he has to do better. You can’t be lapped by your teammates in training. He came back 5kg overweight after Christmas and that’s just not good enough”
“There’s no chance that we’ll let Sipho Mbule go this transfer window, We can talk in 6 months time and that will depend on Mbule and the respect he show to the club like Mokoena and Modiba,you can’t go to break and come back with 5 kilos overweight,Sipho has to improve and show more respect to his teammates and the club,then he can make millions somewhere,but for now we’ll not let him go “
