Once again asked about this, the coach of St Etienne, Claude Puel, reissued his remarks concerning the impossibility ofASSE to recruit without having sold several players beforehand.
“No recruits until the end of the transfer window? There are players who are targeted and who are of course interested. And then, there are others who enter the race and who will engage in other clubs. There is a financial aspect. If some players who have been targeted are no longer available when we could possibly move, well we will not. ” Claude Puel told Téléfoot, who also hinted that he might not have any more recruits by October 5.
“There is no question of adding players to the workforce who for me will not be superior to those I have at my disposal. There are difficulties, we will not be able to recruit also. We will not be able to be an actor in the transfer window, but you still have to have ambition, results, but also patience vis-à-vis these young people who have great potential for the future of the club. ” he concluded.
Yes Claude Puel has a workforce largely capable of doing better than 17th place last season, without a rookie it will however be very difficult toAS Saint-Etienne to aim for a European place.
