Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze has explained the strategic reason of why they aren’t yet making any transfer despite of their opponents spending.
Kaze hints strategic reason behind quiet transfer, as he calls “tricky period” because they have to be careful on making hard decision that might leads them to expensive regret.
“It’s a tricky period. You need to be careful how you sign players,” he said, making it clear that desperation often leads to expensive regret.
Still, Chiefs are not closing the door entirely. The window remains open, and the club continues to scan for opportunities that make sense — not ones that simply satisfy public pressure.
“We are looking. If there is an opportunity that we can get, we’ll go get it,” Kaze added. “But the players that we have now, we know that they will compete very well.”
Kaze said they have already signed 12 players during pre-season, which demand patience to access their quality.
“I’m very happy with the squad that we have,” Kaze said. “We signed practically 12 players at the beginning of the season.”
Injuries, disrupted preparation and adaptation challenges meant several new faces struggled to settle. According to Kaze, that phase distorted early assessments.
“The struggles that we had in pre-season didn’t put especially the new players into very good conditions to play or to understand how we want to play,” he explained. “Now we have had time to rectify that.”
Kaizer Chiefs are in fourth on the table with 24 points from 13 matches, they are four points behind leaders Orlando Pirates, two adrift of Mamelodi Sundowns and just a point off Sekhukhune United.
