Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: the 10 biggest sales in history
Poteaux Carrés found an interview with Guillaume Hoarau (37), FC Sion striker, granted this summer to the Oh My Goal site. It is in particular a question of the real false arrival of the former international to ASSE, in 2014. The Reunionese explains that the Greens, then coached by Christophe Galtier, had not had a very respectful and professional attitude towards him. .. “Before coming to the Young Boys of Bern, I had to sign in Saint-Etienne, he explains. Everything was done. I had a meeting with the whole “green family.” We come to an agreement. At that time, Saint-Etienne had to sell Brandao in Bastia and suddenly they had to take me. On Monday, my agent told me to go down to Lyon to sign the contract. I take my train, I get off. We arrive in Lyon, I find my agent and there is no more news. No one answers the phone. We say to ourselves, “it’s still weird.” At the time, when I was in China, Christophe Galtier wrote to me all the time: “come back, come back, I’ll get back to you”. When I arrived in Lyon it was 11:00 am, no one answered the phone even though I had been told that we were to have lunch together. My agent said to me: “Listen, until 4:00 pm we wait. The contract, everything is ready, you are going to sign, tomorrow, you have to start training.”
“All year round praise this club praise the values that are its own, and in the end they do something like that to you …”
And to the former Parisian to explain then that ASSE had finally recruited Ricky Van Wolfswinkel rather than him, that day … “All week we were on the phone 24 hours a day to negotiate. And overnight, nothing! We wait, we wait, we wait … We never got back! I saw the week after that they signed Ricky. They did it to me really backwards! They could have called me to say “listen, Guillaume, sorry, we preferred to take a younger player, maybe less expensive.” With me they made “come and sign your contract”, and more news! I really had the hate. Year round praise this club praise the values that are its own, and in the end they do something like that to you … I have never heard from anyone since that day. My window of the transfer window was narrowing, there was not much. As we had reached an agreement with Sainté, we had said no to other interested clubs. I found myself with my back to the wall, in an emergency situation, and that’s where I left at the last minute for the Young Boys ”. To the delight of the Swiss club, since the French striker scored 118 in 188 matches with the Young Boys, from 2014 to 2020 … With three Swiss league titles and a Swiss Cup at stake.
to summarize
On Oh My Goal, Guillaume Hoarau, current FC Sion striker, returned to his failed transfer to ASSE in 2014. By pinning the behavior of the Saint-Etienne leaders, who had finally opted for the recruitment of Ricky van Wolfswinkel …
