Squad

A fracture rules Zitha Kwinika out for 107 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Kaizer Chiefs will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Thabiso Monyane

Successful dribbles: 35. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Mduduzi Shabalala hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Kaizer Chiefs can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Nkosingiphile Ngcobo agrees terms with Nasarawa United

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Kaizer Chiefs people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Kaizer Chiefs turn down Kano Pillars for Bruce Bvuma

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

Transfer targets

Evertton Araújo turns down Kaizer Chiefs

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Flamengo keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Market

Ethan Chislett moves on

SuperSport United pay $240.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Transfer targets

Independiente tell Kaizer Chiefs: Lautaro Millán is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Thabiso Monyane in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kaizer Chiefs this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

115 days out for Zitha Kwinika after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Kaizer Chiefs will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market

Mfundo Vilakazi asks to leave Kaizer Chiefs

“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.

Market

Nkanyiso Shinga agrees terms with Jomo Cosmos

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Kaizer Chiefs people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Kano Pillars come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Kaizer Chiefs did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

Evertton Araújo is a medical away from Kaizer Chiefs

The deal with Flamengo is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Player ratings

Nkosingiphile Ngcobo beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Lebohang Maboe falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

River Plate tell Kaizer Chiefs: Lautaro Rivero is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Eyes on Bruce Bvuma again

The phone has started ringing about Bruce Bvuma again, and this time the name on the line is Enyimba. Kaizer Chiefs are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

137 days out for Zitha Kwinika after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Kaizer Chiefs will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Bruce Bvuma: 10 seasons and counting

71 appearances across 10 seasons in one shirt. Careers like that are not built on purpose any more, and Kaizer Chiefs know exactly what they have.

Market

Heart of Lions come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Kaizer Chiefs did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Eyes on Flávio Silva again

The phone has started ringing about Flávio Silva again, and this time the name on the line is Petrojet. Kaizer Chiefs are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Brandon Petersen signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Brandon Petersen and Kaizer Chiefs agree another 2 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Kaizer Chiefs

Zitha Kwinika and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

Talks stall between Kaizer Chiefs and Brandon Petersen

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

36 months and counting on Lebohang Maboe

Still no offer on the table, and Lebohang Maboe’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

The dugout

Mfundo Vilakazi knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Mfundo Vilakazi trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
