Update Tefu Mashamaite Cb -- Signed W/ Another Club

[MagnusPax]

I like the call and response chant:

Poku!
Tefu!

Poku!
Tefu!

I could see doing that for like 20 minutes. Non stop. Good times.

Is that before or after Hey Baby?

Is that before or after Hey Baby?

As with all chants, my Poku/Tefu chant will be preceded by and followed by at least 7 rounds of Hey Baby.

10 Hey Babies and you will be redeemed.

He is a needed addition. Could be a real sleeper.

for what it is worth, his fifa ratings are beast. a 78 standing tackle? say whattttt. rated a better tackler than omar gonzalez….I know this has absolutely nothing to do with real life what so ever, but my fifa team gonna be stacked doe.

Many of his former Kaizer Chiefs teammates have said he was the hardest tackler in the team. But he's also one of the cleanest tacklers, not dirty.

Averages are deceptive because we have a few star players paid 20-30 times what the other players make. But lots of players in the 50-250/yr range. I understand Tefu was looking to double his wage. I would think if he is an upgrade for us that a 200k salary would be possible.

Just been doing some research and in fact it's more likely Tefu was earning around R180 000 a month ($180 000 a year) at Chiefs and wanted double that (closer to $400 000 a year) – although I'm still hopeful that the new adventure and the opportunity to further his studies in the States means he will accept less from NYCFC. I don't think the terms will be a problem, just wanted to clarify the wage issue.

Somehow Dave never quite recovered from that. I actually thought it was consistent with his usual meta/anti-humor. Never understoodd why everyone hated it.

Is there any doubt Mashamaite is going to be inked tomorrow? There's absolutely no way he can be worse than Watson-Siriboe, gotta sign the guy.

Would love to hear about Mena too. Get some competition and depth in here.

I'll pay for my season tickets again or buy 2 more if it will help this happen. I know they don't need my money, but I'll give it to them if it gets us another CB.

Heck I'll do better than that! I'll actually spring for a couple of their $15 Heineken from the vendors in my section!!!!

Watson-Siriboe is absolutely not worthy of a roster spot! We were playing 10 against 12, Watson-Siriboe obviously was part of Toronto FC's attack in the first half.

 

[NYC__blue]

But how about our two new fullbacks!!! I thought Iraola played very well in first half, then ANGELINO!!!!! He was amazing in the second half, his pace and his flair and creativity!!!

I already wanted this guy signed. After tonight we NEED this guys signed.

[franch]

i am, after all, very interested in knowing if tefu is NYC.

Tefu's agent is back in South Africa sorting out his international clearance, etc. before NYCFC will put an offer on the table. Hoping to have more news later today. From what I've heard, he'll almost certainly be signed.

I couldn't find a Jefferson Mena Rumor thread. But last night on Twitter I saw that we signed Jefferson Mena.
