Market

SuperSport United break the bank for Kutlwano Letlhaku

$1.6M. No player has ever cost SuperSport United more, and expectation arrives with him.

Match

Chastening afternoon for SuperSport United

A 0‑3 beating by Bloemfontein Celtic was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Market

SuperSport United turn down Middlesbrough for Lebogang Grobler

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

Market

Lebogang Khune asks to leave SuperSport United

“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

SuperSport United rebuffed over Mfundo Vilakazi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Kaizer Chiefs have kept their man, and SuperSport United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Boardroom

SuperSport United go back to the board over Aden McCarthy

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $200.2K — a club that wants Aden McCarthy enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Wandile Bophela is a medical away from SuperSport United

The deal with Orlando Pirates 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.

Squad

A falling-out at SuperSport United

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

The terraces

The town asked, and SuperSport United paid $1.6M

Kutlwano Letlhaku was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $1.6M. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Market

Sunderland come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Tempers go at SuperSport United

Kermit Zwane was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Maritzburg United join the queue for Khama Williams

Add another name to the list: Maritzburg United have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Khama Williams. The answer from SuperSport United has not changed — yet.

Squad

A row about effort at SuperSport United

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sphamandla Sithole was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Bryn Deeley is a square peg at SuperSport United

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Transfer targets

SuperSport United try to borrow Tapelo Xoki

Orlando Pirates have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

SuperSport United ask about Thato Sibiya

A loan enquiry to Mamelodi Sundowns: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Market

Lebogang Khune told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Lebogang Khune has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at SuperSport United.

The dugout

Kermit Zwane asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
