Frédéric Paquet: "Important investments"

The Extension of Yann M’Vila’s contract

“Yann M’Vila brought much to AS Saint-Etienne last season. He was one of the leaders that promoted proper conduct among his teammates during the second half of the season. We are very happy to extend our collaboration”

The Arrival of Timothée Kolodziejczak

“We are very happy to welcome Timothée. The arrival of a experienced defensive player is in keeping with the design of the team desired by Jean-Louis Gasset and the club.”

The Transfer Window

“Between the experienced players, the arrival of Timothée Kolodziejczak and the players trained at the ASSE Academy who are showing great things, we can consider that our winter transfer window for acquiring defensive players is wrapped up. In regards of our offensive line, we’re continuing to study several options in order to finalize the arrival of one last recruit. Our wish is to take on a player that will be a real support to Jean-Louis Gasset’s team under economic conditions that are acceptable to the club. Unfortunately, researching players takes a certain amount of time because we do not control all the factors. We’re doing our utmost so that the coach has a complete team as soon as possible.”

The Sports Project

“The shareholders are coming through on the commitments they made at the beginning of the season. Their desire to build a competitive team is shared by the entire club. The investments that they have made are truly substantial and unprecedented for the club. The desire to have a competitive team is there.”
