Market

$840.0K — a new record at Ajax Cape Town

No footballer has ever cost this club more, and the number will be read out every time he misplaces a pass for the next two years.

Market

Ajax Cape Town turn down OH Leuven for Itumeleng Khune

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Rivaldo Modiba, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.14

A mark of 8.14 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Mandla Furman asks to leave Ajax Cape Town

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

Gonzalo Zelarayán will not be coming to Ajax Cape Town

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Belgrano is saying, and nobody at Ajax Cape Town is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

A falling-out at Ajax Cape Town

Thulani Dolly and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Sifiso Erasmus is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 17 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Transfer targets

No deal for Jordan Allies at that price

Ajax Cape Town offered $38.0K; University of Pretoria said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

The terraces

$840.0K for Camagu Mdevulana, and Ajax Cape Town supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Camagu Mdevulana from University of Pretoria for $840.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

In brief
