Orlando Pirates seem to be edging out Kaizer Chiefs in just about everything.
From performance to players, the Buccaneers have every right to be looking down on their noisy neighbours, who lie fourteen points behind.
Remarkably, Orlando Pirates’ third successive MTN8 Cup win has been over-shone by their historic – seven wins from seven – PSL run; a club record that they can extend to eight when they face Stellenbosch on December 1.
Matuludi saga
According to SoccerLaduma, Orlando Pirates are leading the race to sign Polokwane right-back Thabang Matuludi, saying, “Yes, that’s true,
“Pirates need to strengthen their squad because there are many games that they need to play this season and with injuries and suspensions they need new players in the team and Thabang [Matuludi] is one of them. They have been pushing for this move even before they signed Deano Van Rooyen from Stellenbosch FC and now they are revisiting that interest as the January transfer window period is approaching.”
A second Siya source added, “The talks are believed to be going on and there could be players involved plus of course money to push for the move to happen. As things stand at the moment, Pirates stand a better chance of signing Matuludi compared to the other clubs which have also shown interest in the defender. The chances are very high for Pirates to sign him.”
