Pitso opens up about Andile Jali

The Bafana Bafana international has also been earmarked to be on the wish list of Kaizer Chiefs and his former club Orlando Pirates.

“We like him, he is a good player but to sign a player, it is more than that,” said Mosimane.

“The culture must be good, everything must jell. We made a lot of mistakes at Sundowns, saying Matthew Peterson and other people from Europe, the Sibusiso Zumas. I am not saying they did not contribute but check the legacy of all the players who are coming in.

“It is not only us, look at other teams who sign people who come from Europe. It is also important, you have to feel it. Is he the one, does he wants to play for you, is he winding down the clock?”

Mosimane continued: “I love Andile, I had him at Bafana Bafana, he is a very good footballer. Andile has a very good attitude, he is tiger. But signing a player is more than that. I need to protect my dressing room as well. My team is a little bit of a quiet team, so I need my dressing quiet. We have made mistakes before and made it louder and that created problems. But for the game, I think he can play for us and I like him.”
