Out of the red zone thanks to a victory against Grenoble (3-1) just before the winter break, the Red Star FC has resumed training and is already preparing to return to combat for its maintenance Ligue 2. With only three points ahead of the play-off Caen, the Seine-Saint-Denis club really has no room to maneuver to save itself in the professional championship. Which leads us to ask ourselves the following question: will recruits be added to the Saint-Ouen team during the transfer window to facilitate this mission?

According to our information, the club should not sign numerous new players to strengthen the squad and increase competition, but rather trust the elements already present and their progress. Unlike the strategy initiated by USL Dunkerque last year at the same time (with great success), an approach rather focused on the preservation of the group is adopted by the Audon club and its coach Gregory Poirierwho do not want to turn everything upside down. The technician was contacted by us and confirmed his fairly cautious approach to the transfer market.
A slow transfer window for Red Star FC
“Dunkirk had chosen to change the squad a lot during the winter, but that will not be our case. Today, I want to give all these players who were there last year and who pushed the club forward a chance to prove that they have the level. I have to believe it with them. I am a young coach myself, I don't see myself pointing the finger at someone and saying “you don't have the level”. Sometimes the step is too high for some players, but that's part of the game. I want to roll up my sleeves, there have been difficult moments and until then, I have been able to find the words. »
