Broos: What Is Downs Going To Do With All Those Players?

Broos: What Is Downs Going To Do With All Those Players?

Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has questioned where Mamelodi Sundowns are going to play the stars they keep signing.

Sundowns have added Jayden Adams, Keanu Cupido and Argentinean centre back Lucas Suarez to their squad recently, but have also let go of Rushine de Reuck, Lesiba Nku, Lebohang Maboe and Thembinkosi Lorch, who is set to complete a loan move to Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca.

Looking in from the outside, Broos has raised concerns over where the players Sundowns keep signing are going to play, especially because most of the players they acquire are of international standard. 

"I understand Sundowns want the best players and I understand that they buy them because 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. At Stellenbosch he played every game and I know Sundowns are playing many games. You need more than 20 players, but if I am right they have 38 players or something?" Broos asked during a round table gathering with media at SAFA House on Thursday morning.

"I am not criticising Sundowns. I am just looking on a realistic way. What are they going to do with all those players? They are internationals.

"In Sundowns, there are players of national teams and for me it's a little of not a happy feeling because at the certain moment you have to replace players because they don't play. Not because they are not good enough. That's a policy of Sundowns and it's not up to me to criticise them. I have to respect that, but sometimes it's not easy."

New Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has indicated that he would like to trim down the squad to ensure he has a sizeable group to work with going forward.
