Masandawana have now signed three attacking midfielders and that is expected to make up for the departure of the likes of Neo Maema, Sipho Mbule, Lebohang Maboe, Matias Esquivel and Thembinkosi Lorch.
Cardoso will be hoping that with those players, he will have enough depth as Sundowns fight for honours in the Premier Soccer League, CAF Champions League, Carling Knockout and Nedbank Cup.
