KERMIT ERASMUS IS BACK AT ORLANDO PIRATES

As The South African website reported last Friday morning, the 32-year-old from Gqeberha made a late deadline move to the Sea Robbers.

He is set to complete the puzzle after Jose Riveiro’s team excelled in many areas but the frontline. 

Erasmus is expected to make an immediate arrival in the playing team this weekend.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR THEMBINKOSI LORCH

  1. The first point is Erasmus will now be the leading man the Pirates team look to in order to make things happen
  2. Lorch will compete with Erasmus for playing time in one way or another, either as a 10, 7 or 11
  3. The duo could be expected to form a tactical combination as two number 10s
  4. Erasmus’ arrival will inspire new confidence and motivation for Lorch
  5. Erasmus will ease the pressure off Lorch and this could allow the Bloemfontein-born star to shine even brighter.

Will Erasmus start against his former club Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday? We really hope he will.
