This summer, Olympique de Marseille brought in three new recruits during a transfer window which Jean-Claude Dassier considers "over". It is now time to take stock. "It was a good transfer window. I know that it is on the pitch that we will see if it was successful or not but, on paper, it is fantastic . Azpilicueta is a player for the future, who will take a great place in OM's defensive solidity. The Ayew brothers were already part of the family but we did what we had to in order to keep them. As far as Rémy and Gignac are concerned, nobody in France can deny the attacking qualities they both possess".
Speaking about the departures, the OM president was very clear in front of the cameras of OMtv. "We had to sell Niang. When you receive an offer like we did from Fenerbahçe… We had to sell him and everyone knew that we needed to sell before buying".
