1.When H.E Uhuru secured the services of Hon Raila 3 yrs ago in one of the most audacious transfer of a player in the market, many football pundits thought he bought a gem of a player. Rival teams thought he bought a player past his prime.The jury is still out, and since Raila is
2..now on UHURU's books for 3 yrs, We can make a preliminary assessment on whether Uhuru got value for money. Did he pay over the top? Did he buy the right player? Did the contract capture deliverables & bonuses? The contract was 4 yrs contract, did it contain a release clause?
3...is Raila captain or vc capt material? Uhuru had Messi in mind & paid Messi's transfer fees but did he get a PEPE instead? Uhuru's team is playing in the Champions League and the first match was against the Senate. Uhuru in the director's box was utterly dismayed by his team.
4...Raila could hardly cross the ball or dribble let alone score.That UHURU substituted him early in the game against the Senate team didn't please a player who broke the transfer record 3 years ago. 4 young academy players that cost the away team zero, taught UHURU's team
5..Some hard lessons. Murkomen an attacking Midfield player, Mutula Jr who plays as a false Number 10, and a solid defensive Midfield of Ledama Olekina and Sakaja broke down every attach Marshalled by UHURU's team. Uhuru also bought a number of squard players most on free tranfer
6...Either from the Championship or teams relegates from the premier league. POGHISIO, Gideon and Kalonzo were all promising additions to the team. Gideo is not Match fit, Kalonzo's work permit is still being held up by UHURU's transfers manager, Murathe for unknown reasons.Uhuru
7..Brought in Poghisio at half time. He has great foot work but reminds him of the Ivorian Arsenal player, Gervinho..does donkey work but can't score. UHURU's team has won the Champions League 3 times. He wants the team to win a 4th without him. In the last transfer window he
8...Released on a short one year loan his deputy captain Ruto who joined a rival team in the Champions League. Ruto after a lacklustre debut has been a revelation scoring vital goals.The two teams are likely to meet in the finals in 2022.Each has a number of challenges. Uhuru has
9..Bought great Individual players. But like all good players, he paid over the top and they are rivals.They are unable to gel.The captaincy is a hot button. Raila, Kalonzo & Gideon all want to be the captain of the team.Uhuru to massage their ego is doing a rotational captaincy.
10..Each has come with a number of Players from their previous teams. They want Uhuru to absorb them into the team. After taking them through drills with his transfers manager, none made the grades. All are insisting they must be absorbed are have sent emissaries with ultimatums
11...Uhuru & Murathe know that no serious team wants these players. Uhuru has a problem with the kit manager of the team,the ever green Atwoli. In addition to preparing the playing kits and drinks, Atwoli is now insisting that he should be allowed to participate in the technical
12..Training sessions forcing Uhuru to tell Murathe as an aside, "na huyo mzee What does he know about a managing a team for Champions League games? Si he concentrate on the kits? Lastly, UHURU's team has a dopping problem. It is rumoured that a number of players brought by
13..Raila have taken banned substance made by KEMSA. It's also suspected that UHURU's team is in breach of the financial fair play rules. Murathe hasn't been candid on the source of the transfer fees for Raila, Kalonzo and Gideon.Lastly as a team from the City of Kiambu, UHURU's
14...team has no home grown players. The locals are up in arms accusing the manager of buying expensive foreign players and not giving young homegrown talent like Moses Kuria a chance. Ruto's team has a great chance of reaching the final but isn't without challenges.The governing
15..body has slapped the team with 2 years ban from buying any players.The ban ends in July 2021.Second, Ruto is a player-manager and the dual roles place too much burden on his shoulders.Third, Ruto doesn't know his first 11.He tinkers too much so that UHURU's video team analyst
16...a Mr Kinoti can't spy on the tactics and formation of the team.The team has also been denied their training ground at jubilee House and finding a suitable training ground has proved elusive. A further challenge facing the team is that a number of good players in UHURU's Team
17..Have interested Ruto's team but all are adamant that they can only join in late 2021 or in 2022. Both teams believe that they are dark horses in the race & certain strong players in their respective teams WILL force transfers to other teams..the game is interesting, enjoy it.
