Kaizer Chiefs supporters have been buzzing with excitement over the idea of signing both Sipho Mbule and Thembinkosi Lorch from Mamelodi Sundowns.
The thought of these two talented players donning the gold and black jersey has sparked a lot of hope among fans eager to see their beloved team return to its former glory.
However, former assistant coach Farouk Khan believes that this might not be the best move for the club at the moment.
Why Farouk Khan Advises Against the Move
Kaizer Chiefs have been struggling to get back to their dominant form, and with that comes the need to sign top-quality players.
Mbule and Lorch are clearly players who could add significant value to the squad, but Khan thinks there’s more to consider than just their skills on the field.
Speaking as a guest on the popular Soccer Beat Podcast, he explained that while both players are undoubtedly talented, their potential off-field issues could cause disruption at Naturena.
He emphasized, “What’s important right now for Chiefs is to maintain the team spirit.
I wouldn’t advise them to sign Mbule and Lorch even if they were free, to be honest.”
Khan believes that the duo’s baggage, both personal and professional, might not be worth the risk, suggesting that their off-field distractions could have a negative impact on the club’s performance.
Team Harmony Should Be the Priority
Khan’s point was clear: Kaizer Chiefs need to focus on building a cohesive and harmonious squad.
The club has struggled in recent years, and maintaining a positive environment both on and off the field is essential for their success moving forward.
He cautioned that adding players like Mbule and Lorch, despite their impressive skills, might upset the delicate balance the team has been working hard to maintain.
The Debate Among Fans Continues
Despite Khan’s warning, many Kaizer Chiefs fans remain excited about the possibility of signing these two players.
With both Mbule and Lorch seemingly on their way out of Sundowns, the speculation continues to swirl, and Chiefs supporters are eagerly waiting to see if the club will pursue the deal.
What do you think? Should Kaizer Chiefs take the plunge and bring Mbule and Lorch to Naturena, or is Khan’s advice something the team should seriously consider? Fans can join the conversation by sharing their thoughts via comments, emails, or social media.
