http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 coach, Remi Garde had a lot to smile about following his team’s victory over LOSC Lille in the quarterfinals of the Coupe de La Ligue. Les Gones won the game 2-1 to progress to the next round of the competition.
However, the French tactician is fully aware of the club’s need to sign new players in the current January transfer window in order to stay in contention for some silverware by the end of the campaign.
With finances running an all-time low, Les Gones have been forced to go cheap in the transfer market. However, Garde is still keen on signing a few new players in order to increase the squad depth.
Les Gones are currently competing in the UEFA Champions League, Ligue 1, Coupe de la Ligue and Coupe de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 which means that the 45-year-old is looking for a deep squad in order to avoid injury and fatigue which could play a big role in Lyon’s title aspirations.
While talking to the media in the aftermath of the victory, Garde asked the club to sign at least two or three players this winter. However, the Frenchman also understands the financial situation of the club.
“I hope we will have solutions that will succeed faster in the transfer window. Diakite is one of the hot issues,” said Garde while talking about Nancy Lorraine midfielder Samba Diakite. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mali-c2951 international has already declared his love for Lyon and is
willing to join the club whenever an offer comes.
Les Gones are also in search of a new central defender. UAE international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hamdan-Al-Kamali-c15615 has been hotly linked with a move to Stade de Gerland but it seems that the youngster might have to wait a bit longer in order to make a dream move to Europe.
Garde knows that the balance of the club hangs by a thread and buying at least two players this January is vital for his side’s chances of finishing the season with at least one trophy.
