The Girondins de Bordeaux must finish first in their group to move up to National. And for this, Gérard Lopez gave the green light for the recruitment of two specific players.
Even if a huge majority of National 2 clubs contest the way in which Bordeaux has increased the number of signings, while the scapular club still has 100 million euros in debt, this will not prevent the Girondins from taking advantage of the transfer window. winter to bring new blood into Bruno Irles' locker room. The Bordeaux coach has in fact identified two positions where he wants his squad to be strengthened, and he has therefore asked to John Williams, its sporting director, to take action to bring back these two additional players as quickly as possible, Bordeaux wanting to win its two late matches to get closer to the leader, Saint-Malo, which is eleven lengths ahead, but which is turning in slow motion for two matches.
Bordeaux wants a competitor to Andy Carroll
To be even stronger during this second part of the season, the Girondins de Bordeaux therefore wish to sign “ a central striker, and a midfielder capable of breaking through opposing defenses with forward play, and technical quality above », specifies the specialized site WebGirondins. The idea is to bring a competitor to Andy Carroll, who held the team at arm's length when he joined the Girondins to everyone's surprise, but who will celebrate his 36th birthday on January 6 and cannot be always on top. On the other hand, to strengthen the midfield, the leaders would already have a player in their sights, but are keeping this track warm, so as not to be overtaken by another club. Let's not forget either that the Girondins de Bordeaux have an appointment on January 25 before the commercial court to decide what happens since the club is in receivership. But obviously this body thinks that Gérard Lope's plan to relaunch the club is serious, and there is great internal confidence.
