Kaizer Chiefs fans demand Andile Jali

This fan in particular sees no reason why the Glamour Boys shouldn’t make a move for the veteran midfield maestro.

Any Chiefs fan who doesn't see a need for Andile Jali at Chiefs doesn't really care about football or the club, I mean if they could buy A. Cole why on earth wouldn't you get Jali and build a team that could compete?? 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes I get frustrated with this lack of foresight pic.twitter.com/OZCpg8xmq8

@victorndaba3 replied: “We really need this talent and football minds…But I’m a bit worried about his age now.” to which the author of the original tweet had an interesting response:

Don't worry too much about age… Modric, Casemero, Kroos etc are playing at the highest level and they're over 30…quality is quality. We need Jali, we don't have the luxury of talking about his age, we need the guy as in asap…if Blom had stayed the convo would be different

Interesting chat here.

Jali is a player of undoubted pedigree

AJ spent the early years of his professional career in Belgium. He has had a career that most players could only dream of and envy from afar. He spent four years in Belgium with Oostende. In South Africa, he’s won 12 major honours across stints with PSL giants Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns. Jali has won 49 caps for Bafana Bafana too.

Yes, he’s 32 and turning 33 next month, but his stabilizing influence and experience might be what Chiefs need in the short term.
