The Girondins de Bordeaux are, at this stage of the season, the best defense in their National 2 group, with only eight goals conceded. They only suffered one defeat, against Dinan-Léhon. But offensively, the problem lies…
This is also why internally, it is rumored that there are many thoughts, concerning possible new players of course, but also concerning certain players in the current squad who have not yet responded.
Yanis Merdji took a little time to find the best fuel but he became the Club's top scorer in all competitions. Soufiane
Bahassa took only a few meetings before giving his full measure and making himself decisive. Andy Carrollhe immediately performed well, currently scoring seven goals, even if he remains in several matches without scoring (one assist, however, recently). But what about the others?
Amadou Diallo peachy in the last gesture and always seems to want to land on his right foot, no matter what the game imposes. Safouane Karimarriving from the Dutch first division, never convinced, so much so that he was very rarely called up to the first team, despite training with them. Finally, the Ugandan international,
Travis Mutyabastruggles to even become a starter, and the winter period will probably not help him integrate any further. These three players are certainly not decisive, and will have to prove in the days and weeks to come that the club was not wrong about them.
For several weeks, if not months, Bruno Irles confirmed that he wanted, despite the current conditions of the Club, to strengthen itself during the month of January.
“Two to three players” depending on the sources and points of view, including an attacker capable of replacing Andy Carroll, a winger capable of being decisive, and why not a creative/relaying midfielder.
In Sud Ouest, the Bordeaux coach spoke of his desire or his needs, explaining that his decisive offensive players were too few in number.
“We want to strengthen competition. We will not be able to finish in the lead with the 12th attack. Some players have not yet given their all. I am convinced that they have this potential but our problem today at the Girondins is that we don't have the time. We have to perform quickly.”
