Many of us are not satisfied with the strikers in our league. We have strikers because they play the last man or because the coach, names him a striker. I mean for a so-called striker to play four to five games without a goal - we must get worried. Maybe our defenders are so tight at the back, yeah right. Strikers have to score goals but our PSL strikers seem to do the opposite. The reason could be that, there are no proper development structures, or our scouts get the wrong people to play in our professional teams.Guys not to be funny but you can have the development of some sorts, but if we get the wrong people, we’ll produce the worst strikers. Football is a talent and if you cannot kick the ball, no one can make you a striker. SA has nine provinces, but our scouts tend to but a blind eye on the other provinces. Personally I have been around SA and I know what I’m talking about.If our scouts can take time just to visit some villages, I’m telling you they will come out with the best players SA has been dreaming about.
I lived in villages, townships and some suburbs; I know what I am saying. PSL teams can get better strikers if the scouts can stop selecting players because their fathers use to play for so and so team. Look for talent and get the player simple, I know players who are better that what I see in the PSL, but because their fathers never played professional, they don’t get selected. I’ve been to trial to just observe their selection criteria, you will be shocked, that some good players were turned down for no reason.
Scouts get to all places will get talent; it’s waiting for people like you to put it in the right direction. For now use what you have in the correct way, if we stop copycatting, will be fine.
This is Mzansi not Europe, why don’t we play our own style, not copy what European teams are doing. Europeans are doing ok, but if we can use what we know, our strengths, skill (we are skillful, anyone knows that), SA diski will have a goal, but if you try teaching me to play like Ronaldo… it will take some time (that’s where development come in), currently we lack that kind of developments.

U've made relevant points, I couldn't agree more...That game I watched with Sundowns and Chiefs for example...strikers were merely stroking the ball, no action what so ever!
I think maybe the players are too relaxed. They don't feel any kind of pressure to perform, no competition.
I think it's time they embark on a proper talent search and if players are not performing to the expected level,they should sit down and feel the heat!!
Bathathe Nito bathathe!!
Nito my man! You the man!
