Take Note Soccer Lovers!

I heard a lot of supporters saying Orlando Pirates FC is greedy for signing a lot of players and releasing few with the dominating complaint being that midfielders are the one scooped in numbers.

With Orlando Pirates being the team that has always been relying too much on defenders and midfielders for goals, it is advisable to consider that striking force hasn’t been our strong weapons in destroying the opponents and beside that fact, we are the undisputed champions of everything thanks to the Pirates organization as a whole.

It can nice to see our striker winning the Golden Boot but pity with Pirates, the team work comes first which is why it has been hard for our competitors to stop us and i see no reason for us to worry too much on the striking force for our back to back trebles were won without a striking force which was/is predictive enough for recognition.

A number of players in the team shouldn’t be an issue according me because the many quality players we have, the more a coach is spoiled for choice and the better chances of a healthy competition popping up just like a country's national team whereby a coach chooses whoever he wants or most importantly according to merit.

What makes Pirates special is that we have a great team with a great team spirit than individual match winners which is undoubtedly productive. We had players who thought they were above the rest and they had to be released like Katlego Mashego and Teko Modise for players of the same team shouldn’t see each other as competitors but colleagues/family.

The more players Pirates signs, the advantage it does to South African's economic drop of lack of employment so let’s not be jealous that other people are getting employed.

I hope the coach manages the squad well.
