#2 Bryan Dabo – Saint-Etienne
With Saint-Etienne lacking some verve in the middle of the park, Bryan Dabo looked like the man that could give them a little more help in attacking areas. Many thought the former Montpellier man was a super signing on their tight budget but he did little to lift the malaise of their midfield.
Just one assist and averaging just over an 80% pass completion rate, along with a limited defensive contribution and it’s easy to see why he got so little game time this season. In fact, he was out of the squad altogether in the final half of the season, a damning verdict on a dreadful campaign.
Manager Christophe Galtier is leaving in the summer, potentially opening the door to a fresh start for Dabo. However, with likely reinforcements in his area of the field, he needs to put this dire season behind him as soon as possible.
