    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Chiefs have been struggling to score goals despite the many chances they have created.

    Ranga Chivaviro, Ashley du Preez and Christian Saile have failed to impress coach Nasreddine Nabi.

    In his bid to strengthen the department, the Tunisian asked for an upgrade and the management have managed to get their first signing in Morris.

    However, SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt has termed the striker's exit as a blow.

    WHAT HUNT SAID

    "Yeah, he just came in two months ago. Well, for us, you know, obviously it’s a blow, but you know, it’s a great opportunity for him,” he told the media.

    “And you know, I mean, how many players [have left us]? “Financially [it] will help him, so it is a no-brainer for the boy, so what can I do?"

    WHAT NEXT?

    Morris will have to settle fast and start delivering immediately to avoid the prospect of fans turning against him which will lead to unnecessary pressure and tension.

    For Saile, this is a massive chance for him to prove his doubters and critics wrong.
