Did Orlando Pirates overspend on Oswin Appollis
Orlando Pirates have wrapped up the signing of Bafana Bafana winger Oswin Appollis. However, some fans aren't over the moon. 23-year-old Appollis has been linked with Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs in the media. Will he flourish at a bigger club? Pirates announce seven new signings Pirates to announce two Malian midfielders Oswin Appollis suffered a little from 'second-season' syndrome after a breakout campaign in 2023-2024. This term, the Polokwane livewire only managed two goals and an assist from 25 league outings. Hardly earth-shattering numbers for a player expected to win games for his manager. Polokwane improved on last season's eighth-placed finish with a seventh-placed finish this term, so it's not as if his teammates regressed. Appollis claimed six goals and three assists in the league last time out. New Pirates boss Ouaddou was once sacked for gross misconduct Michael Morton is excited about the direction in which Orlando Pirates are headed. They've got a new coach and several shiny new signings who will wear a snazzy new kit. Oswin Appollis is a Pirates player. Image: @officialPSL / X Is Appollis a good signing for Pirates?
