Many hoped that Olivier Renard would take advantage of the last transfer window to add some punch to an attack that has been particularly amorphous since the start of the season, when CF Montreal finds itself one point short of the playoffs with eleven games left to play.
It’s not that Renard has been sitting idly by – he’s secured youngsters Kwadwo Opoku and Fernando Álvarez in recent weeks – but veteran Rudy Camacho’s departure to Columbus nonetheless sends mixed signals as to the team’s ambitions. .
“I have a budget to respect, it’s as simple as that,” Renard said following his club’s training session on Thursday followingnoon. Is someone missing in front? Yes, it is missing [Romell] Quioto… but followingwards, financially, I can’t do miracles and get a designated player.
“I make the best possible team, that’s the reality. Can we do better? Yes, there are players who earn a lot and don’t do enough. But we’re one point out of the playoffs, we’ve had a six-game winning streak without allowing a goal. I know very well where we are going…”
Renard finally said he was extremely encouraged by the two games in the Coupe des Ligues, even though CF were unable to qualify for the playoffs. He remarked that head coach Hernán Losada trusted many youngsters for these two games.
