Karela United head coach Nurudeen Amadu has revealed the challenges facing the club in the current transfer window, explaining why reinforcements may be limited despite the desire to strengthen the squad.
Speaking ahead of Sunday’s league clash against Aduana FC, Amadu stressed that quality, not quantity, will guide recruitment decisions.
“So before the end of the registration period, we should have registered at least a few players,” he said. “But it’s always very difficult because the players you are looking at, you’re not even sure whether they can come.”
Amadu made it clear that any new arrivals must improve the team immediately. “You are looking for players who will be better than what you already have,” he explained. “Some are good, but they are not better than what we have.”
He added that the local market has become increasingly complicated, with clubs reluctant to release their key players.
“Any good player, even in the lower teams, they won’t give him to you unless there is a good relationship,” Amadu said.
Despite these hurdles, Karela remain competitive on the pitch, losing just once in their last seven league matches.
The coach believes squad stability has contributed to that run as they prepare for a difficult away test in Dormaa.
