ASSE Mercato: Dupraz, “we must hurry to recruit”
Last week, during the presentation of Pascal Dupraz to the press, the executive chairman of AS Saint-Etienne, Jean-Francois Soucasse, had offered a ray of hope to the supporters by revealing that a substantial fundraising had been carried out with the shareholders. In sight, the winter transfer window, turning point of the season when Sainté will want to pull out of the game. The recent defeat of the Greens against the FC Nantes reminded the new Saint-Etienne coach that a lot of work awaits him for the rest of the season.
After his own defeat on Wednesday at Geoffroy-Guichard, Pascal Dupraz sounded the alarm bells indicating that it was vital for ASSE to proceed with an ambitious transfer window in January in order to hope to maintain itself. ” We must hurry to recruit. Recruitment must be thought of according to the allocated budgets to bring more dynamism and consistency in all lines “, declared the Savoyard coach in post-match conference. And precisely, this Thursday, RMC Sport unveiled the Greens’ plan of attack for January and it may come as a surprise to many.
Take risks in all positions
According to the sports media, ASSE intends to take big risks this winter, in terms of transfer window, a sine qua non to revitalize a dying team. The club should soon receive more than 10 millionseuros thanks to the sale of Wesley Fofana, a large sum which would then make it possible to armor each sector of the game.
In addition to the recent arrival of Joris Gagnon in central defense, Saint-Etienne wants to recruit one player per line, from the goalkeeper to the attack. Unsurprisingly, the Loire club should focus its research on players loan or free from any contract but also intends, against all odds, to put his hand in the wallet, even if it means taking on more debt to save the Greens from relegation.
