Maintain current squad in CAF, Kondowe urges Bullets
Veteran Big Bullets and Flames international midfielder Fischer Kondowe has pleaded with the club executive committee to maintain the current squad as the team is preparing to take part in the continental showpiece Confederation of African Football (CAF) Club Championship next year.
The call comes amid reports that the club officials wants to rope in a number of new faces as part of strengthening the club ahead of the Caf competition.
Nyasa Times understands that Bullets has been considering signing on loan Moyale Barracks striker Gastin Simkonda to beef up the striking force.
Simkonda finished the 2014-15 Super League Season with 17 goals.
Kondowe, who was part of the Bullets team that reached the quarterfinal stage of the Caf club championship in 2004 under the mentorship of Kinnah Phiri, said the current squad can bring results as long as the club meets their demands.
“The only advice I can give is that we maintain the same players that we have. These are the players that can deliver if they are given what they want,” Kondowe told a local radio on Thursday.
Meanwhile, money wrangles are refusing to die in Bullets camp as the players are demanding a 60% cut from the K9 Million prize money for emerging Super League champions.
The executive is yet to respond on the matter which was raised a fort night ago.
Tiyeni tipereke suport yokwana ku team ya bullets osayang’anira ku ma team omwe tikuchokera uwu ndi mwayi umodzi otukukulanso dziko lathu. Pempho langa kwa ma player a bullets ndi loti musamakhumudwe ma coach anu akamapeza ma player ena sikuti akukutayani, inuyo mpira mukuutha pitirizani.
Dats tru they nid 2 add player
Iye number 13 iwenso ndi kape weniweni. Apa Jahman sakukamba za nyerere apa ayi. Ukanene zanyerere, chomwe nyerere zikuwakhudzapo apa ndi chiyani? Iye akukamba za keeping the same players or beefing up squard of Bullets team as they are preparing for the CAF championship. Ukanene zanyerere waona anzako onse amane akomenta atchulapo za nyerere apa. Inunso ndi achitsiru bad.
Indeed we need to add force
sakunama koma tionjezere angapo chifukwa caf sizibwana
Fischer akunena zoona komabe CAF imafuna 30 players ndiye kuonjedzera anyamata angapo kufunika. One striker,a goalkeeper,two midfielders and two defenders will be fine.
but we need to source a lethal striker
60% is not much give. We know you have spent alot to finish league but for the administration sake give. That will boost the players for the next season. Even new players will get attracted.
BB NDI DIL
WHEN PREPARING FOR A BIG TONAMENT LIKE CAF YOU HAVE BEAF UP THE TEAM. THAT DOES NOT EGNORING THE OLD PRAYERS. CREATE A COMPITIVE SPIRIT.KONDOWE YOU ARE NOT WRONG BUT MIXT THEM OLD AND NEW.
