The signing of Talatou will surprise many

The signing of the attacking midfielder (Boubacar Talatou) has sparked some conflicts of interest, some saying it's the best move and some saying why sign a midfielder while we have a lot of them... well to the later, look at the midfielders we have and tell me out of those, who's the attacking midfielder, beside Isaac Chansa, the answer is none.

We have the best strikers in Benni McCarthy and Bongani Ndulula, and I believe in Ndumiso Mabena too, if he was going to get constant supple of the ball he might net two chances out of the million he will be getting. At Bucs at the moment, without an attacking mid-player, you can bring the best strikers in the world but they too will fail.

And those who say Oupa Manyisa is an attacking midfielder, if you remember or if you look at the Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs games that he scored, you'll realise that the balls where actually a rebound from set pieces, and he happened to be there.

He's not an attacking minded player, Andile Jali? Certainly not. I believe that the new signee is just the missing piece of the puzzle, with Oupa and Jali behind him, Benni / Ndulula / Mabena in front of him, we going to start scoring goals... sit back and watch!
