'I was still a player at Pirates when he was brought in from Free State Stars and myself‚ Mabena and Mbuyane‚ we just had to make a move and the ball was laid on a platter for you.'

McCarthy says the best is still to come from Makola once he is fully up to speed this season‚ though he admits he is wary of putting too much of a workload on the 33-year-old while his injured midfielders return to action."As he is playing he is getting his fitness up to scratch and when we get all our players back and fit‚ then we can give him a bit of a rest as well.

“I don’t want to burn him out for the longevity of the season‚ we have to bear in mind he did not have a pre-season with Pirates‚ they outcasted him‚ so he needs to play catch-up. “But in the circumstances we are in I can’t afford to not have him on the pitch. He has been excellent‚ an unbelievable signing so far.”

City have started the season with a 2-2 draw at Baroka FC and a 1-0 victory over Stellenbosch FC‚ and now face Polokwane City at the start of the defence of their MTN8 title this weekend.

Benni, Makola is a good player i agree, however, he's one dimensional, modern football requires players who can both attack & defend at the same time, he can't give you that, he's marvelous on the ball but atrocious off it & that's his Achilles heels🙏
