Moloi�s move to Gunners falls through

Chiefs’ communications manager, Clifford Mogomotsi said Gunners approached them on Sunday, on the day of the transfer window deadline.
“Obviously it was too late. We did not finalise the deal as they came very late. Their chairperson is the one who gave us the player’s transfer letter and we asked ourselves, on what basis? Normally it’s the player who hands in his resignation letter,” Mogomotsi said.
He said with the deal failing to go through, the player has to revert to Chiefs.
Moloi has reportedly not trained with the team since returning from the festive season break.
Despite the player keen to leave Chiefs, the squad is thin upfront where the team has struggled. However, the strikers managed to find their scoring boots over the weekend winning 6-1 against a dispirited, relegation threatened FC Satmos.
Efforts to get a comment from the Gunners committee were futile at press time.
The Botswana Premier League chief executive officer, Bennett Mamelodi said Gunners had insufficient paperwork as they made a last minute attempt to register the player.
“They arrived at 4.45pm, just 15minutes before the transfer window closed. They didn’t have the transfer certificate,” he said.
Meanwhile, Mamelodi said it was a relative quiet transfer window with Motlakase registering the highest number of players (12). Township Rollers registered only Terrence Mandaza while there were challenges with paperwork for Bid Wits University’s Gerald Phiri who was wanted on loan. Chiefs also had issues with registering foreign players.
Green Lovers registered seven players, Gilport Lions (6), Gunners (5), Gaborone United (2), BR Highlanders (6), Sankoyo (7), Galaxy (8), Nico (5), Satmos (6), Chiefs (4), Orapa United (2), BDF XI (4), Police XI (4) and Miscellaneous (3).
