While AS Saint-Étienne remains on an encouraging defeat against OL in the derby (0-1), But Football Club is already looking at the priority of the Greens' transfer window in January.
“A 10 for experience”
“Olivier Dall'Oglio may well be able to count on a 'sponge team' that is learning and will not give up, it is clear that a lack in his squad is obvious from the moment the opposing level rises: a leader of play. While Kilmer Sports perhaps believed they had found the rare pearl in the person of Igor Miladinovic, the young 21-year-old Croatian stagnates in reserve by not necessarily scoring many points. As a result, no one within the Saint-Etienne squad seems to be able to take on this role while experience is sorely lacking in the midfield.
However, the Greens' game would benefit from being more airy, more vertical, more surprising. In my eyes, Dall'Oglio would therefore really need a 10 capable of organizing the game and being a captain in the middle.
Thu. Louis Mouton and others do the job but a more creative profile like Adrien Thomasson is missing in the offensive animation of ASSE. Recruiting Himad Abdelli in January would be ideal but Angevin is being courted (€4 million, according to Transfermarkt) and the SCO will not strengthen a direct competitor for maintenance. To see the opportunities as the transfer window approaches but we will have to act quickly. »
Bastien AUBERT
“I see at least 3! »
“ASSE recruited 9 players this summer but still has glaring gaps. I agree with Bastien on the fact that this team is missing an experienced midfielder and that a playmaker would do the most good. It's a profile that ASSE does not have apart from Miladinovic, a real enigma. But defensively, Larsonneur has an L2 defense in front of him and it is a priority in my opinion to add one or two stronger elements.
Apart from Nadé, the current defense is too light, even if I find that Léo Pétrot does the job quite well. The only defenders recruited last summer are Abdelhamid and Cornud, who have not proven to be reinforcements so far. Batubinsika also offering few guarantees, I think the club should recruit a good right-handed central defender to play with Nadé, and a good right back. At a minimum. »
