Orlando Pirates legend Moeneeb Josephs has expressed his disappointment in Monnapule Saleng.

The 27-year-old winger has not played for the Buccaneers in over six months, reportedly due to a contract dispute. Neither the club nor the player has publicly addressed the issue.

Josephs believes that Saleng has let the club down, especially in the second half of the season when the Buccaneers needed quality players to compete for the league title and the CAF Champions League. He warns that Saleng might find himself sidelined, especially with the club having acquired new players.

Pirates legend warns Saleng

“Every season, a new footballer comes along,” the former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper said on Soccer Beat.

“Yes, I know it was a contract dispute that kept him on the sidelines and obviously, the influence he’s got from the side as well but look now. Now it’s causing him problems because we have new signings and we are looking forward to the new signings.”

The former Pirates keeper admits Saleng is a great talent, but questioned his commitment following his sabbatical.

What do we remember of Saleng? It is a fact that when we needed him, he wasn’t there. He was an integral part of us, and he made people who are not involved in the game influence his decision, and that is disappointing for me.

“Yes, I love Saleng, he is an amazing player but as much as I love to see Saleng, I’m tired of this thing man.”

The Buccaneers have already resumed their pre-season and will jet off to Spain in the next two weeks. It remains to be seen if Saleng will be part of the Orlando Pirates team during their pre-season camp.
