TRANSFER WINDOW POST MORTEM

Now that the transfer window for us has closed, Regis Le Bris has had some time to reflect on everything that happened during that time, including deals that did or didn't materialise and the reasons for that.

IMPORTANT TO GET MINUTES

“There are many different topics. The first one is the players who left the club to find minutes, to find games. Five players were in those situations. Aaron [Connolly] was a permanent transfer and four others, Adil [Aouchiche], Abdoullah [Ba], Zac [Johnson] and Naz [Rusyn]. It was an important move for them to find game time and to play because when you are not involved in the main squad, it’s difficult to improve their level so it’s important for them, I think."

RETAINING OUR TALENTED LADS

“The second topic is about the retention of talents. It’s still important to remind ourselves that when we have very good players some interest can be around and we had this possibility to keep them with us. So they trust us, we trust them, the confidence is shared, so that’s good news."

RETURNING PLAYERS FEEL LIKE NEW SIGNINGS

“The third thing is the returns [from injury]. I said it before in the first part of the season, we had many injured players and I hope they will be available for the second half of the season. Salis [Abdul Samed] is an example. We will have five, six, seven players like that and we expect they will give something else for the team."

RECRUITMENT

“The final topic is the recruitment process. We recruited two players. Enzo [Le Fee], we can see he will suit our game plan, with our team, with the other players. His connection is getting better and he will get stronger. The last one is Jayden [Danns]. In the medical we found an underlying issue so we have to wait a little bit and hopefully in a couple of weeks we will see, I’m not sure of the time.”

JEWI COLLAPSED LOAN TO CHARLTON

“In this transfer window we still have this problem where in the last minutes, this happens, It’s still possible to find a club because some markets are still open. We will see.”

DODDS DEPARTURE

“Is it useful to bring in a new assistant or not? I’m not sure. We will see in the next seven to ten days. The players have grown and we want to give the possibility [in Dodds’ absence] to choose by themselves and I hope it will create new conditions for more responsibility.”
