'Monnapule Saleng is becoming a boring subject now, Orlando Pirates must just release him! Bucs have invested a lot in him so he can't go cheaply, but needs to change his attitude & respect current contract' - Fans

The 26-year-old attacker has had a tough time getting back into the Buccaneers team in the ongoing campaign owing to unspecified reasons.

Orlando Pirates attacker Monnapule Saleng has been in and out of the Bucs' matchday squad.

Just recently, his agent Rui Frois, revealed the Buccaneers refused Saleng's potential move to Asian outfit Al Nasr who were ready to offer him a tax-free package of at least $700 000 (R13,4 million) deal.

However, things did not go as planned and the deal did not materialise.

A majority of Bucs fans are seemingly frustrated by Saleng's never-ending news. Have a look at their reactions as sampled by GOAL.

    Boycott Bucs games!

    This thing of teams destroying talents because of spite must come to an end. As supporters of football, we must boycott all games of Orlando Pirates going forward. They must play for empty seats.

    Agents only care about their pockets, Pirates are in a business

    Agents only care about their pockets but the team also is doing business. If Pirates would allow every player to leave for Europe after a fantastic season then the club will never have a good team. Pirates have invested a lot in him so he can't go cheaply -  Sir-Ts'oaeli William
