Ten new moves, eight starts: The FC St.Gallen team was shaken during the summer holidays. Just in time for the start of the season, there is an overview of all the transfers and an assessment of what can be expected of the young troop.
The big jumps were not to be expected at FC St.Gallen on the transfer front this summer. Too short of money is the club, continue to work on a million deficit. Nevertheless, there have been a lot of changes in Eastern Switzerland. Ten players joined the team, eight left the club. In addition, a lender was definitely taken over by the striker Cedric Itten. On Tuesday, the new number ten followed: St. Gallen lends Axel Bakayoko, 20, from Inter Milan. The double citizen of France and Côte d'Ivoire played for Sochaux in Ligue 2 under the current St. Gall coach, Peter Zeidler, last season. Offensive player Bakayoko, who can be used in various positions, is considered extremely talented.
He is in a "rolling planning," said sports director Alain Sutter. Also, reserve to borrow younger players from other teams. Silvan Gönitzer will be the first to be loaned to the League Challenge Club, Rapperswil-Jona, next season. The team is always great. Disposals were more than offset for positions. With regard to quality, at least slight doubts are justified
Young people who want to try their luck
FC St.Gallen looks young, hopeful and financially viable on the map. Financially, however, also means: New players are players like Argentine central back Leonel Mosevich or Spanish midfielder Jordi Quintilla, who have not recently broken the big bones in their teams. But there are actors with good assets, as the tests show. And they seem to want to take a chance.
The biggest question in St. Gallen: Can mid-field starts be compensated? Toko and Runar Sigurjonsson were the best, and because of their physical toughness, they were important to the team in tight games. Newcomers Vincent Sierro, Quintilla, Dereck Kutesa and Majeed Ashimeru are technical and agile players who can not physically replace a Toko. He was deliberately put on speed in midfield, says sports director Sutter. With Peter Tschernegg or Alain Wiss, players are already present, who could take care of the physical part. Yet the question remains: what is the loss of substance in the midfield?
No loss of substance in the storm and central defense
In the storm, however, there is no bleeding. On the contrary, two other actors join the team here with Bakayoko and Kekuta Manneh. With Itten, Roman Buess and Nassim Ben Khalifa, they can at least ensure the level of the past season. Still in terms of central defense, there is little reason to worry. Karim Haggui, who finished last, will be replaced by Milan Vilotic. Although he is like Haggui a defender who already has the career behind him. However, Vilotic played at a high level before arguing with Grasshoppers and Young Boys respectively. He made his friendly debut against SC Brühl. With hope Mosevic and Silvan Hefti, perhaps Alain Wiss, the central defense is heavily occupied.
Jasper van der Werff is, however, difficult to replace. The Ostschweizer Shooting Star, strong in games, went to Red Bull Salzburg. Newcomer Nias Hefti could take his long-term place as a more offensive alternative than Andrew Wittwer. If Hefti at the super-league level acts as clarified as van der Werff, but still has to show himself.
