Kaizer Chiefs legend Gardner Seale says he agrees with Nasreddine Nabi about the club needing to bolster the squad in the January transfer window.
Amakhosi has struggled offensively this season, and Nabi aims to bring in players strong enough to uphold the club's reputation.
Seale believes that the current Chiefs squad has been underperforming.

"I think we expected too much too soon from Nabi; he's also human," Seale tells KickOff.
"The only positive we can take is that we are performing better than in previous seasons, even if 'better' doesn't meet Kaizer Chiefs' standards. You have to be the best."
He emphasizes the importance of support from Chiefs fans:
"Now is the time for Chiefs fans to play their role as well. And to the coach, if you choose to play with one striker, you must understand that you will often be outnumbered.
"I really don't know his reasons for using a single striker, but for me, that's not a viable option. As a former defender, I know how easy it is to manage a lone striker."
Seale expresses his concerns about the current squad, stating, "At Chiefs, it feels like we have passengers rather than footballers. What the team needs right now is four, five, or even six strong players. They must search far and wide for top talent."
