Gaston Sirino, Kaizer ChiefsBackpage

'South Africans did not want Gaston Sirino in Bafana Bafana while he was still playing for Mamelodi Sundowns! Now he is needed because he plays for Kaizer Chiefs? We have Mofokeng & Vilakazi, we don't need him' - Fans

Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi and SuperSport United mentor Gavin Hunt have backed the idea of adding Gaston Sirino to the Bafana Bafana squad.

The Uruguayan footballer is eligible to represent the South Africa national football team. Since joining Amakhosi, plenty of fans have also been calling for his inclusion in Broos' team.

However, there is a section of local soccer lovers who are against that idea.

Here, GOAL looks at what the fans had to say about the Sirino and Bafana debate.

    Perfect replacement for Mshishi!

    In Themba Zwane's absence, Sirino can be a good addition. I don't really trust Patrick Maswanganyi at the international level. He's the best at club level with players who play similar football to his. Don't get me wrong - Sandile Zulu

    Discriminations...

    It’s funny how we can be so quick to show Xenophobia towards our fellow Africans, but now some are eager to have a Uruguayan, Gaston Sirino, play for our national team. We often gave African players like Collins Mbesuma and Knowledge Musona a hard time, yet we're open to bringing in someone from outside the continent - Zolani ZA
