While Nico and Gunners have quietly gone about their business in the transfer market, Rollers and Chiefs have been very public about their targets. Chiefs and Rollers have made several signings and continue to chase other players in preparation for next season.The newboys are expected to be in action in the first game tomorrow at 10:00 am when Chiefs and Nico go head-to-head. Chiefs have secured the services of former Rollers' captain, Onalethata Tshekiso, former Nico United striker, Bonolo Frazer, Patrick Lenyeletse and Ontse Ntesa (both from ECCO City Greens) and Kago Nfila from TAFIC. Ntesa is expected to fill the left back position, which gave Chiefs' technical team headache last season. Right footed defenders, Sekgabo Molebatsi and Tshepo Motlhabankwe have both been used in that position interchangeably.
With Kekaetswe Moloi and Galabgwe Moyana now plying their trade in the South African Premier Soccer League for newly promoted Polokwane City, Lenyeletse is likely to start at the left wing position tomorrow. However, all eyes will most definitely be on Frazer who will be playing against his former side for the first time. Frazer, together with his strike partner last season, Master Masitara left Nico at the start of the transfer window. Though he is blessed with a powerful shot, he is likely to find the going tough against Nico defence marshalled by Richard Legwaila.Nico have remained tight-lipped about their new signings although they have been linked with an Ivorian striker as well as a Nigerian player. The two are said to have been recruited to replace Masitara and Frazer.
