It is doubtful if, just a few days after replacing Ernst Middendorp who resigned recently, Sar has recommended the Flames\u2019 player.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is management that wants Sanudi. They have been following him. I have been following him too. He is a very good player,\u201d insisted Sekati who, last year, facilitated the trials of Msowoya at Bidvest Wits and Bloemfontein Celtic.<\/p>\n<p>Sekati, though, distanced himself from Msowoya\u2019s ongoing trials at Arrows. However, the manner in which Msowoya and his Nyasa Big Bullets\u2019 team-mate Gabeya sneaked out gives weight to the reports linking Sanudi with Maritzburg.<\/p>\n<p>However, the former Azam Tigers\u2019 player and Wanderers\u2019 General Secretary, Mike Butao, separately during the week, said they were in the dark about Maritzburg\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not have any communication from anywhere on Sanudi\u2019s trials. When I do I will respond accordingly. It would be a big loss [if he joined Maritzburg], but we do not stand in a player\u2019s way,\u201d Butao said.<\/p>\n<p>Sanudi is probably the best right-back locally, he can overlap and defend in a split second using his pace and comfortability playing both legs and dribbling. Height is his only disadvantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>His club Be Forward Wanderers are in the dark and the player has feigned ignorance, but football agent, Martin Sekati, is convinced that right-back Stanley Sanudi could be on his way to South Africa Absa Premier Soccer League mid-table outfit, Maritzburg United. \u201cOnce he comes here, he will, no doubt, sign an outright contract,\u201d said [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":39428,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.times.mw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.times.mw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.times.mw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.times.mw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.times.mw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39427"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/archive.times.mw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39427\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39431,"href":"https:\/\/archive.times.mw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39427\/revisions\/39431"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.times.mw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.times.mw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.times.mw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.times.mw\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
