Recreativo president Rui Campos told MTNFootball.com said that with the qualification of his club to the money-spinning stage of the competition, he was ready to break the bank to have Mba, who shone at the recent Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa. "Yes, we are happy to have qualified for the group stage of Africa' top club competition and we are not resting as the challenge will surely become tougher,' Campos told MTNFootball.com in smattering English. "We are going to recruit more quality players to help us actualize our dreams and Rangers no 8 (Sunday Mba) is a sure target for us.

"We are ready to go the long length to have him play for us because he is a special player." Recreativo striker Joah Thomas also described Mba as a player who will add value to his club. "I think he will be a good buy for us should we pull it through," said Thomas. Thomas said his club deserved to stay in contention for the Champions League at the expense of Rangers. "It was good we qualified ahead of Rangers. We played better and deserved to win after the first leg ended scoreless," he said.

"I am not disturbed that I did not score. What really mattered was for the team to win matches.
