Centre-back Ouma and veteran midfielder Echesa have been instrumental for the sugar millers and Abdallah believes that an aggressive approach in the transfer market will help him plug the hole they have left. “The two have officially parted ways with the club. What we need to do is to get replacements."

The outspoken coach also revealed that he will be making six signings as he bid to get the sugar millers punching equal to their weight. “I want to sign six players; a full back, a central defender, two wide attackers and two strikers. By tomorrow (Tuesday) we should have come up with a complete list of those, who are leaving."
