Wolves won’t hunt for Mayuka

Share

English Championship side Wolves say they will not bring Zambia striker Emmanuel Mayuka on loan from Southampton.

Wolves have instead opted to bring in 30-year-old Sierra Leone international striker Ki Kamara.

“We’ve watched him (Mayuka), we’ve had conversations and he’s available but I wouldn’t say he’s a realistic target,” Wolves coach Kenny Jackett told the Express and Star.

23-year-old Mayuka has yet to play any competitive game this season at Southampton since returning from his twelve month loan stint at French club Sochaux.

Mayuka has been on the Southampton bench in their last five EPL matches.

  1. “We’ve watched him (Mayuka), we’ve had conversations and he’s available but I wouldn’t say he’s a realistic target,”

    This is a polite way of stating that Mayuka is useless!!

    • @jayjay, what did mayuka do to you kanshi? I think the useless is Chris katongo, warming bench in RSA sure???

    • Let’s not sugarcoat issues if you see old man Sata; why should you beat about the bush and tell him he is fit as fiddle when clearly he is not…. call a spade a spade. Mayuka is useless not even the lower league clubs want to touch him, I have lost my patience with not only is he useless he is also overweight and needs a bone marrow scan to find out his true age so they can prescribe the same diet as Andrea Pirlo.

    • If he can even make a bench in the English premier league then he is as good as any other player on the field…..to be honest the league is so competitive such that even players like Marroune Fellena and Louis Nani could not even make bench but if they were Zambians they could have been households name but

    • @Kalonga
      If being a bench warmer in the premiership gets you women and VIP access in clubs in Lusaka and Ndola so be it….please have some pride and aspirations never settle for second best….mind you a footballer’s career is very short. This is the selfsame you will never move forward as a national team and you continue tolerate Galu’s corrupt shambolic mediocrity as you just dont see anybody else apart from him; always waiting for leftovers.
      Wake up!!

    • I don’t think they are saying that he is useless. They are actually saying he is not very useful to them. You guys have a very mean attitude to other people’s efforts. And the comparison with our president is wrong; I am beginning to change my opinion because never before has Zambia (probably the entire Africa) seen a development of others to take over after them. What HEMCS has done is try Kabimba and discarded him because he is no good. He is now training Edgar Lungu, to see his potential (he does not see the need to try Scott because he is as old as he, his mate). Why can’t a glass be HALF-FULL and not HALF-EMPTY for some people? Mr President I salute you on this one.

    • Maybe in your Zambian national team which is going NOWHERE he is highly rated. He LAMENTABLY FAILED to make first team even when he was ON LOAN at Football Club Sochaux-Montbéliard….now that is very disappointing and disgraceful for a forward…stats don’t lie!!

  2. If it walks like a Duck, quacks like a Duck, looks like a Duck ..it is a Duck
    Lee kula period… He consider going back to Switzerland and get some action otherwise next bench warming knee Pa National team…

  3. Please people with Italian Pelle as Southampton top man what can Mayuka surely do. Pelle can even give Christiano Ronaldo a run for his money

  4. More training. Training does not mean only when the club is training. A sportsman at that level of competition must have a personal routine that they carry out at home when not at the club. Fitness and improvement depends on that. As most people seem to like to say, PERIOD!!!

  5. Mayuka is like a one hit wonder. The man is finished. He is useless on the pitch. The EPL is too fast for him. Let him go to SA or maybe the malawian league.
