Tigers have no player targets yet
The January transfer window is open and many clubs are reluctant to reveal their plans this early on.
MTC Namibia Premier League (NPL) champions Tigers believe that it will be difficult to sign players at the moment.
The Namibian transfer window opened this week and several clubs have already expressed interest in some players.
Clubs like Young African are looking at signing players outside Namibia.
However, it appears that there is still no movement of Tigers players this early in the transfer window.
Tigers, who began this season on the back foot, are expected to bring in fresh players in order to challenge for a better position on the league table.
The club appointed Woody Jacobs late last year after coach Lucky Kakuva resigned.
Jacobs has been reluctant to talk about his plans for the club. The coach felt that signing new players now will be difficult, given the contracts they have with their existing teams.
Other players are representing the country at the African Nations Championship (CHAN) currently under way in Morocco.
“At the moment, we do not have any targets because most of the players are contracted by their clubs,” Jacobs briefly said yesterday.
Jacobs and his boys hope for a better second round after the NPL break, given that they struggled to keep up with teams at the top half of the table.
The champions find themselves in an unusual 13th position on the log after 15 games were played last year.
Tigers have lost nine matches this season -the most losses of any club this season- and are 22 points behind log leaders African Stars.
The Katutura giants have collected only three points on four occasions this season, while drawing two matches.
Tigers have conceded 20 goals, while scoring only six, putting their goal difference in a negative.
Their hopes of retaining the title this season are arguably over, given the points difference between them and African Stars.
Tigers will however hope to stay out of the relegation zone since they are just a point away from the drop zone. It would be a remarkable turnaround if the club is able to bounce back from the terrible start and finish in the top half of the premier league table.
The big race for league honours is now between African Stars, Tura Magic and surprise package Young African.
