Kaizer Chiefs’ recruitment and selling strategy has come under the microscope yet again with former players coming back to haunt them.

Former Chiefs players haunt Amakhosi in drubbing

Matsatsantsa’s 4-1 Betway Premiership win last time out against Kaizer Chiefs made it a league double over the Glamour Boys. Two former Chiefs players were on the score sheet for Gavin Hunt’s men, compounding the misery for Chiefs and their fans. Samir Nurkovic, who’s been with Royal AM since he left Chiefs, and Christian Saile were those two players. Congolese star Saile is on loan from Amakhosi so his goal against them will sting. In 56 appearances for the Glamour Boys, Saile notched seven goals and four assists.

Chiefs enter the race for Pirates target

25-year-old Muzomuhle Khanyi has been causing a stir in the NFD, scoring goals for fun. He recently bagged a treble to further enhance his reputation as one of the best potential bargain deals available on the market. Although Pirates are stocked in this portion of the pitch with the prolific Tshegofatso Mabasa and relentless running power of Evidence Makgopa, there’s no such thing as too many good strikers.

Kaizer Chiefs opted against signing Serero

Thulani Serero made 11 appearances in the esteemed UEFA Champions League, the last of those was in the 2014-2015 campaign for Ajax Amsterdam. In the early days of his career, Serero dazzled for Ajax Cape Town as an attacking midfielder. A Classic number 10. He was named the PSL player of the season in 2010-11, rewarding his creative displays for the Mother City side. His value peaked in 2015 while with Dutch giants Ajax when he was estimated to be worth R4m (R77 million). Serero looks set for a return to the Mother City, with Cape Town City FC in talks with the 34-year-old.

Is Thabo Cele the answer?

Was it the right decision to allow Saile to leave?
