PIRATES SEND OUT OTLADISA OUT
Katlego Otladisa was the next Pirates player out the door following the departure of Gilberto.
Gilberto has been loaned Gilberto back to his former club Petro de Luanda.
“Orlando Pirates has reached an agreement for the loan transfer of Angolan international Gilberto to Petro de Luanda for the remainder of the season,” Pirates confirmed in a statement.
Thereafter, midfielder Otladisa was spotted in training with PSL rivals, Sekhukhune United. Now, he is training for and playing for Sekhukhune. Thus, making him the second Bucs exit. This one flew under the radar with Pirates having a quiet January transfer window.
BUCS MAKE NO SIGNINGS
Surprisingly, Pirates did not sign any new players in the recent transfer window.
So, while this is not the most exciting news it does speak to the confident of Jose Riveiro in his current squad. Meaning, Riveiro and Bucs management believe in the current crop of players.
This speaks volumes. Pirates are set to compete in the quarter-finals of the CAF Champions League. Furthermore, the Soweto giants are currently giving defending PSL champions, Mamelodi Sundowns a solid run for the BetWay Premiership title.
Pirates sit six points behind Sundowns but the Bucs have a game in hand. The Brazilians have 36 points from 13 matches. Meanwhile, Pirates have 30 points from 12.
SHOULD PIRATES LET OTLADISA RETURN OR SHOULD THEY SELL HIM PERMANENTLY?
