REWIND to
the 2010 football jamboree. 11th of June, the dreadlocked Soweto
born player smashes a thunderbolt after a marauding run in the left flank that
had acres of space and the Jabulani ball found its way into the top left hand
corner of the Mexico keeper
to open the account for South
Africa
Lo and
behold there should have been a queue at the mount Naturena
The latter
is the biggest stage possible, if you are not convinced about the player’s
performances at the foregoing tournament then you will never be convinced.
Simple. Especially after a good exhibition, personally. Many acquisitions that
were spotted at any particular FIFA sanctioned tournaments are well weighted
and sealed thereof. No trials whatsoever.
Simphiwe
Tshabalala is fast approaching 28 (September) and there is no satisfying demand
of attacking midfielders who are of that age outside of Europe .
Unless you are out of the top draw. And Shabba is not. They prefer young
players who will provide a lot bravura to their ranks.
How
desperate can Shabba get for a move in Europe ?
His value
has depreciated thanks to the inexplicable and yet deplorable trials he has
undergone. But that is neither here nor there because he has reached the
twilight of his contract at Kaizer Chiefs. One thing is for sure, Shabba and
his agent (Jazzman Mahlakgane) want to cash in big time. They know all too well
that this will probably be the last big pay for the player in terms of contract
ties. So they exhausted every links possible. But please, stop acting so
desperate.
In any
case, I expect Jazzman Mahlakane, like in Teko Modise’s case, to negotiate the
best package for the player at Amakhosi. This European adventure desire should
be given no breathing space anymore, so that the player can concentrate on his
career and represent Kaizer Chiefs with pride.
Shabba,
your time at the European scene has passed. Let it go.
