This Thursday in the middle of the day, Philippe Montanier (coach) and Eric Roy (sports director) gave an update on the Mercato RC Lens. Here is what to remember
2-3 recruits still hoped, priority to attack
Eric Roy: "Sixteen players under contract are gone, eight have arrived. We are working on profiles to strengthen the team. At least 2 or 3 will come without us registering new departures. If there are departures, they will be replaced with arrivals. Of course, we think about bringing more maturity. We are looking virtually in all lines, except goalkeeper. A lot of hard work has already been done. It is a huge building site. Changing 20 players in a squad is huge.
Philippe Montanier: "As we have renewed a lot in the middle and in the middle, the offensive side remains a priority. It's harder to find good players with good mentalities.
Dusan Cvetinovic, an inevitable departure
Eric Roy: "Dusan leaves for a new project. It was part of ours but an interesting offer was made to him and it was difficult to refuse him a good of exit. He was retained on January 30 and he was disappointed but, two days later, he scored in Lorient. Dusan showed a lot of professionalism. It was a frame without being a leader in the sense that we hear it. With Mehdi (Jean-Tarhat) replacing it numerically, we will have a similar profile.
Two departures still hoped for, young people available on loan
Eric Roy: "Markovic and Maazou train. They are under contract. We will see if there will be opportunities. They have exit certificates. Will they find? It's still something else … "
Philippe Montanier:" Young people are interesting. This confirms the quality of training at RC Lens. It is not impossible that some show the tip of the nose very early. Especially in a workforce that is not complete. Are we considering lending some? It will also depend on the evolution of the workforce.
Jérémy Vachoux will stay
Philippe Montanier: "I wanted a guardian experience and Jeremy Vachoux remains. He gives all satisfactions. No state of mind. Having two guards seems essential to me to have ambition. Jérémy Vachoux is a young guardian. I remain convinced that he is the future of the club. That there is competition with Leca, it will serve him and they get along well.
Philippe Montanier understands the difficulties of Mercato
Philippe Montanier: "All coaches want to have 80% of the workforce as soon as possible. After there are requirements and the reality of the market. It may be better to pick up a player later but that fits better. If there are 2 or 3 arrivals out of 10 field players, there are two-thirds of the team that will not have played together during the preparation but that's the lot of the coaches.
Mouaad Madri reintegrated in a homeopathic dose
Philippe Montanier: "Mouaad Madri is better, he is training partially with the group but he missed a year. It will take time. We want him to come back surely. He integrates some training with the collective. I can not wait for him to find all his means because it is a big potential.
