Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos is left speechless with how Sundowns keep on adding players into their roster.
Downs sent Thembinkosi Lorch, Rushine de Reuck and Lebohang Maboe on loan while Lesiba Nku was sold. The Tshwane giants then signed defenders Lucas Suarez and Keanu Cupido and midfielder Jayden Adams from Stellenbosch.
Bafana Bafana coach did not understand the signing of Adams given the fact the Downs already had quality.
Broos said “I have to think about how I’m going to say this because it’s dangerous, but I understand that Sundowns want the best players and I also understand that they buy them because they have money.
“They have plenty of money, but at the end what are you going to do with all those players?, I see Adams now, okay, we will see.
“In Stellenbosch he played every game and I know Sundowns are playing many games, the Champions League and Nedbank and the league competition and you need more than 20 players but if I’m right they have 38 players or something.
“I’m not criticizing Sundowns, I’m just looking in a realistic way, what are they going to do with all those players? And they are internationals, it’s not like the one with for example [Tashreeq] Matthews, he doesn’t play every game but he’s not with the national team.
“But at Sundowns there are national team players who don’t play and for me, it’s a little bit not a happy feeling because you have to at a certain moment replace the player because they are not playing, not because they are not good enough.”
It is still await to see which sponsor will partner with Bafana Bafana after Le Coq pulled out as the sponsors.
