“Pirates and Wits are in talks, the problem with the media is they start naming all the players that they like and wish to see join one team or the other. I can’t name the players that Wits and Pirates are discussing but they (Wits) are interested in some of our players and we are interested in some members of their squad as well. When we are done with all the details of the deal with announce,” Mbele told Isolezwe.

“Mobara was left out of the 18-man squad because the coach had a different game plan for the game. Thabo Matlaba didn’t play as well, but you don’t ask me about him you only ask about Mobara,” explained Mbele.
