SuperSport United striker Bradley Grobler has given credit to Mamelodi Sundowns for how well the club has been able to spend their money, as it's evident in how the likes of Teboho Mokoena and Ronwen Williams have taken their game to another level.
Sundowns, who are well on their way to winning a sixth consecutive Premiership title, have been a hot topic in recent weeks, with some believing that they are dominating solely for financial reasons.

Grobler, though, feels the DStv Premiership champions should be given credit for the work they put in behind the scenes, like in how they identify players they want to bring into the squad.
"At the end of the day, it is a money thing, but I don't think we can hold that against Sundowns. Sometimes it's good to see a team that puts money into the club and believes in the club. One thing I respect about Sundowns is that they identify players and they do whatever they can, to get that player, and it's a player that goes on to do extremely well for the club. Who are we to tell them that they can't spend their money? They put money into football and it's made the team unbelievably good and successful. It's hard to lose your best players to them, but they have the money to spend. They have used it very well. Big ups to them," Grobler said to the Siya crew.
Over the last few seasons, Sundowns have snapped up Aubrey Modiba, Grant Kekana, Teboho Mokoena, Ronwen Williams and Sipho Mbule from SuperSport. All these players have made progress at Sundowns, taking their game to another level at Chloorkop.

"Sundowns have gotten a lot of players from us, who were already extremely good players. I think since they've moved there, they have possibly grown and now you see that they are going to win another league (title) and they have an opportunity to go into Africa and play at that level. There is no doubt that some of the guys have gone there and taken their game to a new level. If I look at guys like Tebza and Ronza, they have been unbelievable this season. A guy like Grant as well. They have done extremely well for themselves and, like I say, Sundowns have done well in what they have done with their money."
