After the great victory of the Greens against Reims (3-1), what should ASSE's priority be in the transfer window? This is our debate this Monday. Laurent Hess and Raphaël Nouet give their opinion.
“A complementary attacker with Stassin”
“It goes without saying that I enjoyed the Greens' match against Reims and that this very successful first time for Horneland on the bench warms my heart. If she plays like that every weekend, we will no longer be bored following ASSE and I don't see why there wouldn't be good support at the end of the season. But the team still needs to be strengthened, and in almost all sectors. Apart from Nadé, it's a bit tight in defense, it's still very young in the middle and we should also add one or two good offensive players.
The priority, in my opinion, is to find an attacker capable of pairing with Stassin. The Belgian had a big match against Reims, we understand better why Kilmer invested so much in him this summer, but Horneland will lack solutions up front, especially since Sissoko still has four suspension matches to serve. In addition, the Malian still showed certain limits at this level. So a better attacker than him wouldn't be too much trouble. »

“A midfielder who knows Ligue 1 well”
“Saturday's victory against a weak Reims team (3-1) will not change my mind: the Greens desperately need a dominant midfielder. This sector of the game is essential in Ligue 1. If we lose the midfield battle, we have little chance of winning. AS Saint-Etienne does not lack talent in this sector of the game but most of its players do not know the elite. Benjamin Bouchouari and Louis Mouton had never set foot there before this season, as had Pierre Ekwah, who started his career in England.
A sentry with enough experience to cut off the opponent's passing angles, make the necessary small mistake at the right time, initiate pressing or rally the troops in difficult moments is vital. I wouldn't say no to a good central defender but if the resources are not significant this winter, I would bet above all on a defensive midfielder. »
