According to the Argus his contract has been cancelled "so he can find another club". I assume the club has to pay up whatever length was left on his contract (until the end of the season?).
He wasn't ever given another chance to contribute was he.Stumpy Tim said:Good

Maheta owes us another 14 minutes and 48 seconds.

I don't care how shit he was in training (that's hardly a new thing - many top premiership lads are allegedly crap trainers) he should have been given a bit of a run in the first team, to see how he coped with proper match action.
This club is skint, yet we can waste money on 3 year contracts for players that are given 2 games to impress.
Utter bollocks.
Tom Hark said:The club really needs to raise the level of pre-season friendlies. Everybody looks like a world-beater against Crawley and Worthing.

Closer to about £60,000, rather than £150,000.Rougvie said:He was shit in training and shit for the reserves, but was more than happy to take the money.
Another £150,000 or so down the toilet.
Good ridance.
TonyW said:McGhee has gone on record (several times) stating that Malongo was not up to playing in the English game. This he based on his performances in training and for the reserves. Lets face it, he can't have formed an opinion from anywhere else, cos he never gave the lad a bloody chance.
I watched him score on his debut at Reading, and he looked pretty useful to me.
Slightly dodgy first touch, but a real handful for those Reading defenders.
He scored, played well and yet was only ever given ONE more game.
Absolutely bloody ridiculous.
As I said earlier, training and reserve matches bear no resemblance to first team action, and he should have been given a decent run of games to see how he went on.
If he wasn't going to be given first team action, why THE HELL was he offered a three year contract from the off.
Like Elder, he was considered a 'punt for the future'. His wages were very low, and he was here to try and improve his game. I'm surprised he's going to Grays Athletic. Apparently, he is studying to become a lawyer. I suppose he needs to carry on playing to finance the studies.TonyW said:If he wasn't going to be given first team action, why THE HELL was he offered a three year contract from the off.

No, I'm afraid it doesn't count for anything.algie said:So going on loan to Lincoln for a season and Wrexham doesn't count?Both clubs couldn't wait to get shot of him.
More like a dozen, in which he doesn't impress.TonyW said:A young, foreign player signs for a club that apparently show some degree of commitment to him by offering a long contract.
They give him 2 games, in which he scores a goal.
