Orlando Pirates news: January transfer dealings
Orlando Pirates have added a few players to their squad while letting go of those who struggled with game time under Abdeslam Ouaddou.
Orlando Pirates have had quite a busy January transfer window with all the new signings and departures.
Not that the Buccaneers needed to strengthen their squad as they already had enough quality and depth.
However, Abdeslam Ouaddou is looking beyond the current season, and it is for that reason Pirates went into the market.
With the January transfer window slamming shut in the next few hours, it appears the Soweto giants are done.

ORLANDO PIRATES: ALL JANUARY TRANSFER DEALINGS
ARRIVALS: Andre de Jong (Stellenbosch FC), Daniel Msendami and Mpho Chabatsane (both Marumo Gallants)
DEPARTURES: Tshegofatso Mabasa (Stellenbosch FC), Monnapule Saleng (Mamelodi Sundowns), Sinoxolo Kwayiba (Chippa United), Siyabonga Ndlozi and Sifiso Luthuli (both Magesi FC).
WILL THE BUCCANEERS NEED TO SIGN NEW PLAYERS IN JULY?
Well, every team needs new players every new season, and Pirates cannot go into the new campaign with the same squad.
And that’s because of the ambitions set by the club, especially to return to CAF Champions League football.
Should Pirates achieve their objective of dethroning Sundowns in the Betway Premiership, then the bigger picture will definitely be the CAF Champions League.
