On the side of the Lensois supporters, the time is rather for a certain form of concern. It must be said that the Artesian club, which has just set up a new board and a new technical staff, has everything to rethink. Starting on the transfer window. And the main sites are known, starting with that of the goalkeeper, that of the central defender, but also of the important question of departures of club executives.
Inevitably at the press conference presenting the Lensois staff scheduled for Monday at 1 p.m. in La Gaillette on Monday, there was a question of many things, but necessarily a transfer window. And Jean-Louis Leca, who was placed in the center of the desk, well surrounded by the entire staff of Pierre Sage, was questioned about the contours of the Lensois summer transfer window: “We will already see on the possible departures that we will have. It will necessarily be necessary to make retouching. There are key departures at the goalkeeper and the axial central defender“He explained in the preamble.
Leca confirms the Yehvann Diouf track
For the goalkeeper's question, a big priority for recruiting RC Lens, the Lensois sports director confirmed the Yehvann Diouf track, but claims to have a list where there are a lot of names. “Yehvann Diouf is part of a list where there are a lot of names. We're going to land. There is a study on several guards. There are also market financial issues. We will not do anything on each position that we will recruit. We're not going to get back in the air to do anything. The important thing is to be strategic and think well before going to make an investment and throw yourself on everything and anything. ” It must be said that Lens no longer has a number 1 goalkeeper with the return of Mat Ryan to Roma and with the departure for Angers of Hervé Koffi.
Beyond the recruitment to be managed in terms of reinforcements, it will be necessary to degrease, but also and above all manage any attacks on certain executives of the team such as Facundo Medina, Neil El Anyaoui, Andy Diouf or DEIER MACHADO. And listening to Leca, apart from Facundo Medina, there is no outing to grant. But for the new strong man of the Lensois transfer window, it was important to put his vision of the transfer window, a kind of mantra which risks being the leitmotif of the mercato of the RC Lens throughout the summer.
Leca reveals his vision of the transfer window for the RC Lens
«My vision on the transfer window is simple. The Lens who performed is the Lens who made Loïc Badé intelligently, it is the Lens who was clever by going to seek Jonathan Clauss, it was the Lens who made an intelligent loan with Arnaud Kalimuendo, not to mention the opportunity Seko Fofana or Deiver Machado bought in L2 in Toulouse. Today, we have the impression that if we do not spend € 15 million, we do not make a good transfer window. This is not my vision. What brings me above all, is not to arrive and spend money, it is not to please supporters with horrifying figures and snoring names, me what I absolutely want is to be in tune with all the staff, and to say that it sticks to us, that, it looks like the RC Lens, because it has an identity, a mentality. When we were looked for Kevin Danso or Facundo Medina they were unknown in the battalion. It was transfers at 3-4 or € 5 million. If we can make good blows, we are not going to deprive ourselves. But the Lens that performed the most, it is not the one who spent 25-30 M € because that is not Lens.Enough to send a stake barely disguised to a predecessor …
If it is premature to evoke precise summer names or targets except those which have already been mentioned, Lens' objective is clear: having a pro group of 20 players + 4 young people with a three -time defense. After launching the basics, you must now go to acts and rather quickly in order to have the maximum of living forces before the first friendly matches. And the Lensois supporters are just waiting for that.
