In a sensational turn of events, ruthless AFC Leopards boss Shahid Jaffer has axed his two new signings within 24 hours of their move from Gymkhana.
New signings Abbas Hasham and Nabil “Une bête” Jetha have been transferred to Mozambique Stars and Gor Mahia respectively.
Sibtain Merchant (Mozmbique Stars) and Ali Jaffery (Gor Mahia) make the move the other way to AFC Leopards.
Jaffer said “I took a risk bringing these two in, Hasham failed to impress in training so I had to make the decision to get rid of him. If he’d shown me any sign of the form he’s shows over the last few seasons I would have kept him.”
“In the case of Jetha, it’s pretty simple, I didn’t realise that he couldn’t speak English, there were too many communication issues in training. Good luck to him at bottom of the table Gor Mahia.”
Quebecois native, Nabil “Une Bête” Jetha who was unfazed by the criticism laid upon him by Jaffer said “Je vais maquer beaucoup de buts pour ma nouvelle équipe. Je suis une bête.”
Gor Mahia gaffer Jabir Alidina didn’t seem too concerned about the language barrier “Jetha speaks the universal language, the language of football. He’ll have no problems settling in here at Gor Mahia.”
When asked about the rumours about Mohamedali “Monty” Karim looking for a move to Gor Mahia, Jabir Alidina was uncharacteristically silent and refused to comment.
The fans on social media have not been silent, with the hashtag #freemonty trending over the last week, apparently in reference to AFC Leopards unwillingness to agree to trade Monty to Gor Mahia and then the subsequent shock move to Gymkhana.
Big money signing Abbas Hasham who has been a lifelong supporter of AFC Leopards and only yesterday described this as a “dream move” was devastated by the news that he’d been transferred without making an appearance.
