Benni McCarthy says AmaZulu need to sign “four or five really good players” in the January transfer window.
“And there's actually nothing you can do. The players can only give you as much as they can because we've reached a level. And we're going to need some assistance to get to the next level.McCarthy said among positions he needs to strengthen are defensive midfielder, playmaker and the fullbacks on either side.
“I think it's clear we need a playmaker, we need someone to assist in that creativity. Because we're creating, but not enough. I think Bonginkosi Ntuli needs backup. Somebody who's goal-hungry and aggressive. “In defence we lost a player like [left-back] Sibusiso Mabiliso, who was giving us such an unbelievable outlet up and down that wing. And you can see Augustine Mulenga's performance is not the same because over his shoulder he always had a Mabiliso flying up that flank.
“We're not getting that from our fullbacks on both sides. We're playing with a centreback [Mbongeni Gumede] at right-back sometimes. “And given [midfielder] Makhehlene Makhaula is running up minutes with every game, it would be nice to also get another holding midfielder with the same characteristics. So you're looking for four, five really good players.”
