Lebohang "Cheezboy" Mokoena, a former player for Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, has spoken out against the rumors that Patrick "Tito" Maswanganyi is interested in joining Kaizer Chiefs.LDuring SoccerBeat's Absa Football Fridays, Cheezboy addressed rumors that Amakhosi are keeping tabs on the midfielder, who is now playing for Al-Khaldiya SC in Bahrain.
There has been much conjecture about Maswanganyi's future in recent weeks, with some suggesting he has fallen in the organizational hierarchy at his new club and others claiming (later denied) that his contract has been terminated.The thought of the Chiefs relocating for Cheezboy did not impress him. Any such action, in his view, would be seen as "desperate measures." Maswanganyi has always been very emotional, and he hasn't always been able to control them. He also admitted that things might not be going well for the player in Bahrain. Concurrently, he brought up the fact that Kaizer Chiefs are already dealing with their own problems and what he referred to as a "overloaded ambulance," implying that the squad already has more than enough to handle without introducing any additional danger.He is not the same player who was available when Maswanganyi was playing at his best under José Riveiro, the ex-winger emphasized to the fans.
Tito still has plenty of experience at 28, but Cheezboy thinks fans won't see the same impactful, sharp Tito if he plays. He went on to say that even Maswanganyi's coaches had made comments about his character during his time at Orlando Pirates, bringing up issues both on and off the field."Given the current situation, Tito's character, and his off-field troubles, I personally wouldn't choose him for Kaizer Chiefs," Cheezboy basically said. Although he expressed his personal belief that the Chiefs would not be making the right signing, he did wish them luck if they decide to pursue the deal.
A number of real-world issues also arise. The current campaign may come to a close before any transfer takes place in January due to FIFA regulations that prohibit players from representing more than two clubs in the same season. Even though it's still theoretically feasible to sign a pre-contract for next season, Cheezboy focused on suitability rather than timing in his message.Kaizer Chiefs are currently in the midst of a squad rebuild and strengthening when these comments are made. Cheezboy is being completely forthright when he says the risks are currently more than the rewards, even though some fans may find Maswanganyi's creativity and previous PSL success appealing. He would rather the Chiefs not risk a player whose off-field profile, age curve, and recent form all cast doubt on his abilities.
