Kaizer Chiefs' failed transfer business in their recruitment of Colombian striker Efmamjjasond Gonzalez has been labelled as fraud.
Gonzalez was brought in all the way from Bolivian club Real Santa Cruz at the beginning of last season but had no goal to his name when he left at the end of that campaign.
Chiefs chose not to activate the permanent transfer option on the initial loan deal for the big forward, who is now with Club Always Ready.

"Let me be brutal about Gonzalez and make it known what was done on Chiefs is fraud," notes former Chiefs defender Muisi Ajao, who had a stint at Naturena, before then playing for Mamelodi Sundowns.
"Whoever took the money for that deal should never be approached for another player again because he messed up.
"That was one of the worst players Chiefs have ever signed and I can safely say Chiefs were scammed, that was fraud.
"Whoever approved that deal should be held accountable.
"If it was in Europe, that person would have been fired by now.
"That was wrong because it made the team suffer.
"That was bad business.
"Chiefs is way too big a club to be just signing players based on a video of highlights.
"The professional teams would want a full game and then send a scout to go and watch the player in action before any decision is made.

"That Gonzalez deal was a blunder, and they know it at Naturena.
"Chiefs is too big to be making such blunders in this day and era when your scouts should be able to go and watch players and make informed decisions like Mamelodi Sundowns (are doing)," says Ajao.
