In great difficulty this season, Montpellier must strengthen itself and is dreaming of a nice helping hand from OM to do so. This may remain a dream.
Greatly victim of the drastic drop in TV rights, Montpellier decided not to strengthen itself in the transfer window last summer. This resulted in a catastrophic first part of the season, with last place in the standings and only 9 points scored in 15 matches. The bad results keep coming and the Coupe de France, with a match against Le Puy, can help regain some welcome confidence. But it will be difficult to maintain without some major changes this winter. Jean-Louis Gasset is hoping for new blood, and Laurent Nicollin as well.
Wahi in Montpellier, Nicollin is lucid
The president of the MHSC said that things should change to avoid relegation that is impossible to avoid if things continue like this. In the Midi Libre, the son of “Loulou” Nicollin picked up on the rumor sending Elye Wahi from OM to Hérault, where he revealed himself a few years ago. If this prospect can legitimately make one salivate, the conditions for this return to be possible seem above all folkloric. “ Yes, we are looking to strengthen ourselves for this winter, and there will be departures as well. Wow? If OM covers his salary and lends it to us, and if he wants to spend six months with us… But I don’t know “, lucidly explained the manager of La Paillade, who knows well that OM will not put themselves in a situation of lending a player while paying his entire salary simply to try to revive an element which has in fact not given satisfaction to Roberto De Zerbi for the moment. Wahi has already made it known that he does not want to leave this winter, and if he were to be pushed out, it is not certain that an arrival at the bottom of Ligue 1 would appeal to him much, despite the good memories of his spent in Montpellier.
