OM’s winter recruits have not yet had the opportunity to distinguish themselves from the fact that they are already unanimous about the lack of ambition of the Marseillais.
Jean Onana, Ulisses Garcia and Faris Moumbagna, these are the official and announced recruits of OM, for the moment, in this winter transfer window. If not the first, who was able to play a few minutes against Strasbourg last Friday and is not unknown in Ligue 1, the other two are almost anonymous in France. And this is no coincidence according to observers.
A specialist in Germanic football cultivating his sources in Switzerland, Polo Breitner pulls no punches with Ulisses Garcia for example. “ He is certainly very impressive physically but has fairly significant technical shortcomings, but also still significant tactical shortcomings at 28 years old. If he is a starter at OM, it is because the Olympian club is in the second division. Either he comes as an understudy and in a pinch, I can understand him. Honestly, there are a lot better things on the transfer market, it’s a real surprise. »
“A 28-year-old player who is good in Switzerland does not exist”
And to add on the airwaves of RMC: “ When the news broke, I fell to the ground. I called my contacts in Switzerland to find out if it was a joke or not. You need to know what the Swiss championship is, it is a second or even third zone championship where the best young people leave very early, particularly in the Bundesliga. So a 28-year-old player who is good in this championship doesn’t exist. If he was good, he would have left the Swiss championship a long time ago! I was told that it is very good for him, he multiplies his salary by three. »
Sharing the airwaves with Polo Breitner on Tuesday evening, Daniel Riolo is not more enthusiastic about the names lined up by OM this winter. “ When you ask people who know these championships, scouts who analyze matches, who report to clubs, agents, it is difficult to find a single one who will say good things about Onana, Garcia or Moumbagna. From what I’m told, it’s ultra-creepy! »
