Kamara, Gronbaek, Ostigard, this awful transfer window from Rennes

Now officially in the fight for maintenance, Stade Rennais scares with its individualities which contribute nothing. The players who arrived this summer are singled out.

In recent years, thanks to continuous progress and significant resources, Stade Rennais has at least established itself among the teams at the top of the table in Ligue 1, sometimes with the Top5 as its objective. But last season, the results were not there and Europe seemed far away. This season, it is down to survival that is at stake despite an ideal start to the season with a big victory over OL. The rest will have been very complicated, including a very disappointing performance from the recruits. Once again in Lille, the players bought this summer have plunged, and weighed down the team even if they cannot be accused of all the ills. In defense, the Norwegian Leo Ostigard is not at the level defensively or in the recovery, which earned him for example a 4/10 in the columns of Ouest-France after the match in Lille.

The other Scandinavian on the team, the Dane Albert Gronbaek, continues to depress the supporters with his percussion which is often punished for losing balls, and the fact that he clearly does not measure up physically either. When giving the grades, Ouest-France, for example, gave it 3/10. “ Still too many bullet losses. He must show much more than that, by being much fairer above all », Underlines the regional daily, which gives a similar note to Glen Kamara, lost in midfield and who represents another very disappointing investment for Stade Rennais. Enough to give work to Jorge Sampoli, and also to sports director Frédéric Massara, who has clearly not been inspired at the moment to see the performance of the Breton players so far.
