With Baroka FC chairman Khurishi Mphahlele comparing his son to FC Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal, fans have now had their say!
What did Mphahlele say about his 16-year-old progidy?
"Seboledi Mphahlele is my son and he was the best during the club's open trial, and when the coach says he wants the boy, I must give him what he wants and not stand in the boy's way.
"It's not me who wants him, but it's the coach who saw him during the trials. He was good amongst the trialists."
The chairman added: "We are not doing him a favour. We just want to do him nicely. If you saw what the Spanish boys were doing recently in the Olympics and the Euros, he is similar to Lamine Yamal. My son is on that level. He is a similar type of a player."
Check out what readers had to say in response:
"When we greet this chairman from now on we'll say 'Ya mal'," says Dillan Oliphant.
"Creating unnecessary, unwanted and dangerous pressure for the young man," says Mogale Pressa Mphahlele.
"Now I believe my beloved Limpopo teams believe too much in muti more than coaches' tactics," says Tshepo Douglas Machethe.
"Yoh, ever since the government vaccinated people, they behave like mad men. How can you compare someone who is plying his trade in a lower division with someone who plays on a higher level? It's like comparing cheese and chalk
"We never saw him play, let's give the lad chance first and see if his father is well upstairs," says Hlokwe Daniel.
"If it was Chiefs they would have said it's a family business," says King Wakwa Nkomo.
"Parents are something else. I guess MaMkhize can say the same thing about her beloved son," says Leo Sithembiso Sibaya.
"Don't put him under pressure asseblief. Let him be," says Jeanette Jenny Mosehle.
"Why don't you organise him on teams like SuperSport, Chiefs, or Pirates; it gives him a chance to develop properly, not under daddy's team," says Litha Siwa.
"African Yamal, we can't wait to see you. This is going to be interesting," says Thuli Jankey.
"I doubt some of you are parents. This guy is boosting his son's confidence like any other parent who loves his child.On your parents eyes you will always be beautiful and you are the best thing that's ever happened to them," says S'lwane Lwamzit.

Here's what the readers had to say:
"The reality is that running a football club is a costly affair. Without sufficient sponsorship, it's a constant struggle to make ends meet. I feel for the smaller teams without any sponsors. They're the lifeblood of the sport, but often get overlooked," says Lungisani Carburator Ngubane.
"Despite the fame, hype and fan base, football is not a business. Most teams are managed at losses. That's why it will never survive without sponsors," says Malema Joe.
"Sundowns give them peanuts and when Kaizer Chiefs comes they raise the amount. They wanted Kaizer Chiefs to get relegated because of Jelousy. Stan Mathews now will be jobless because the team will be bankrupt," says Sbusiso M. Siyaya.
"It's not something new. Even last season it was like that. Remember the sale of Mokoena and Kekana to Sundowns, issues of finance were there," says Ginindza Nkosing'phile Moses.
"If they are struggling financially with sponsors, what about other teams without even one sponsor yaa it's tough to run a football club," says Farai Mwapiwa.
"Something needs to be done to bring back fans in the stadium. Without big fan bases, corporates wont sponsor our clubs," says Logic Mchaveleli Chavalala.
"They should sell more players to Sundowns because they are a feeder team," says Daniel Mthabela.
"How much did they sell Campbell for that they still struggling after sending him to Belgium...Sundowns has been helping them for too long....it's sad," says Tumisho BraStiga WaLesandawana.
