Orlando Pirates — analysed, unpacked, told well. 🎙️✍🏾🎥 By Fumane Musisinyane. Podcast, writing & video — since 2020.
26’ Bloody hell. Thalente Mbatha oozes Busquets class.
Absolutely doubling down on my Thalente-Busquets convictions.
I think highly of Mbatha, and never shy away from saying the wonderful things I think of him. #GiantsonDStv #SSGiants just captured 2/100 things I think of him. Namely, Jayden Adams is better technically, and his passing can improve. I think fair, honest scrutiny from my side.
Even you @talkingbucs you're in the doccie...ukhuluma kabi ngoMbatha😂😂
We’ve seen experiments, rotations, glimpses. But no one can say for sure what Ouaddou’s first-choice XI will look like. With MTN8 vs Polokwane around the corner, how do you feel about that uncertainty?
One thing that I have realized is we don't listen to each other, especially on Pirates Twitter and I've been part of the problem too in reacting without first hearing the why. I've watched the video where Fumane explains his thinking and while I agree on a lot of the things,
Fumane’s pick for best Pirates XI
How Pirates can evolve tactically, and why Tito is key… youtu.be/Svi0sWIghLc?si…
Tito’s tendency to roam might be a tactical flaw in one shape — and a secret weapon in another. Here’s an explanation why RW might just be his future in this three-slide breakdown.
There’s no one like Kimvuidi. Not a 10. Not a 6. He’s in between — a free-roaming orchestrator. Strict roles shrink him. Let him wander, and the pitch opens. He drifts deep to dictate, and pushes high to thread the final pass. He’s built for moments — the kind that win a match.
Nkota, Mbokazi, Mofokeng: Can Pirates adopt a “Create and Sell” model? youtu.be/eIJKntfT6zU?si…
Interesting. If there is any truth to these figures, including bonuses, he will be on a salary of +/- R650 000 per month. Good for his family.
🚀 Excited to share that Mohau Nkota 🇿🇦 (20) joined Ettifaq in a smart move! Transfer fee: $1.4 million Annual salary (with bonuses): $430K Total investment: $1.83 million Looking forward to seeing him shine and grow in the Saudi Pro League! #Ettifaq #Nkota #SaudiProLeague…
