In the ongoing transfer window, Steve Barker has lost Sihle Nduli, Brian Onyango, Liam de Kock, Shaakir Ahmed, Ismael Olivier Toure, Faiz Abrahams, Fawaaz Basadien, Anicet Oura, Kyle Jurgens, and Thulani Mini.
Among them, Nduli, Toure, and Basadien were key players who made a positive impact on Stellies.
So far, only Vuyolwethu Andrieas, Siviwe Nkwali, and Muzomuhle Khanyi have joined the team, meaning the tactician will have to rely heavily on youngsters.
Despite the quality of Mamelodi Sundowns, the 57-year-old is convinced his team can defy the odds to deliver the Premier Soccer League crown.
