The big transfer certificate for the Super League: The big transfer certificate for the Super League

If you look at the transfer balance purely from a monetary perspective, YB gets a six. 15 million (including bonuses) for Aurèle Amenda, who was immediately loaned to YB, four for Ulisses Garcia (Marseille), half a million for Jean-Pierre Nsame (Como). Earns about R20 million in revenue. The club underlines its clear economic market leadership position in Switzerland. And sporty? Both Jeroen Hadjam (wingback) and loan player Joel Mvuka (wing) have everything it takes to turn the left side into a spectacle. It will be exciting to see whether Anel Husic (centre defender of Lausanne) has the level for YB. Or that it was an emergency purchase. He was no longer the first choice at Lausanne lately. Because the former U21 international will be needed after Loris Benito’s cruciate ligament failure. The bottom line is: maintained – at a high level. Blick rating: 5

The departure of top striker Chris Bedia to the Bundesliga (Union) could not be prevented. Neither did Nicolas Vouilloz, who was keen to leave Geneva and only extended his contract before moving to FC Basel so that Servette would receive a small compensation. The two key departures were replaced by N’Diaye and Rekik – equivalent newcomers on paper. Whether these can live up to expectations remains to be seen. There is upside to expanding the squad with defender Bronn and attacking all-rounder Nishimura. Blick rating: 5

Neo sports director Milos Malenovic scouted more than 600 players before the winter transfer phase and announced reinforcements. But in mid-February a comment must be made: no team did less than the FCZ. A promising player has been added in Joseph Sabobo, but he will not play a role in the first team for the time being. FCZ has signed Amadou Dante from Sturm Graz as their second player. The left back must help Zurich immediately. What is still missing: an accurate striker. A position that was not filled despite a clear gap in the summer. At least the unspeakable coaching saga surrounding Henriksen is over. The Israeli Arad Bar also disappeared without any mission. Despite Malenovic’s announcement, the team has not improved. View rating: 3

The injury witch has spread to St. Gallen, just in time for Carnival. In addition to various attacking forces, the two most important players, Görtler and Quintillà, are missing. Ever since Espen boss Matthias Hüppi shaved his old companion Alain Sutter and installed Roger Stilz, the FCSG seems cursed. He got a promise in Jovan Milosevic (on loan from Stuttgart). A striker who, thanks to his 192 centimeters, can become a weapon and can play 25 Bundesliga minutes. However, there is a big question mark behind the second transfer. Victor Ruiz, who has spent the past 18 months in the Saudi Arabian desert, has not played a competitive match since the end of August. View rating: 3

Sports director Carlos Da Silva announced before the transfer period that a departure would be compensated with a new signing. But he did not keep this promise. This is clearly evident from the departure of Allan Arigoni. Bitter for coach Mattia Croci-Torti, who will have to be extremely flexible this season. Because the injury list does not want to get smaller – on the contrary. Assist king Renato Steffen was also injured in the YB game and will probably be out for three weeks. The fact that Lugano’s transfer value is not even worse is due to the return of midfielder Ousmane Doumbia. However, he has also been out for a month with a muscle injury. View rating: 3

Bringing in an experienced central defender and perhaps doing something offensively: that was the plan of FCL sporting director Remo Meyer. He managed to do this with the loan deals of Jesper Löfgren and Adrian Grbic. Both can be a reinforcement from now on. The only person who has left the club is Asumah Abubakar. The surpluses Samuele Campo, Serkan Izmirlioglu and Samuel Alabi, on the other hand, are still on the Allmend – until the summer, when their contracts expire. The FCL would have earned an even higher figure if there had been news about the expiring contracts of the three top players and regular players Max Meyer, Martin Frydek and Denis Simani. Clarity is slowly needed on this point. Blick rating: 5

The ballet replacement, Boubacar Fofana, was already under contract before his multi-million dollar departure to Italy. And sports director Oliver Kaiser can write on his business card that a player was sold for a seven-figure sum for the first time in Winti’s history. Moreover, during the winter break the necessary, but always very difficult, undertaking of trimming the team fat was achieved in the form of the departures of Ramizi, Manzambi and Gelmi.

Seven winter newcomers – that sounds like activism. But it is part of the strategy of the new American owners, who are flooding the club with players from their network. The new goalkeeper Paul Bernardoni is already a reinforcement and enrichment for the entire competition. The fact that right back Loucif gets a regular player to manage direct rival Lausanne seems very adventurous. Blick rating: 4

With Nicolas Vouilloz (Servette), Benjamin Kololli (Shimizu S-Pulse), Albian Ajeti (unemployed) and Dion Kacuri (GC), FCB has attracted four players this winter who have recently only played a substitute role at their clubs. While Vouilloz and Kololli are directly part of the permanent staff in Basel, Ajeti and Kacuri are not yet ready for action. However, because only Jonathan Dubasin (loaned to Oviedo) is on the outgoing side, FCB will play the second half of the season with a monster team. Also because no takers were found for loan candidates such as Maurice Malone or Adriano Onyegbule. Blick rating: 4

After the American investors got involved, GC fans were hoping for top-class winter transfers. But it remained quiet in Niederhasli ZH. Striker Asumah Abubakar (Lucerne), one of the few new signings, is currently unavailable after being sent off in the derby. And to what extent Dijon Kameri (Salzburg/Loan) and Oliver Batista Meier (Dresden) will help the WG in the impending barrage remains to be seen. Coach Bruno Berner’s wish to appoint a new defense chief also did not come true. However, the Hoppers have lost their best attacking player in Theo Corbeanu (on loan) – he was recalled to Wolverhampton by the former Chinese owners. View rating: 3

After a weak preliminary round, the newcomer had to prepare for the battle for survival. That’s what happened: with Rrudhani from YB, Loucif from Yverdon and especially the Italo mega talent Pafundi, the team has become stronger. Also proof of a job well done: Szalai, Husic’s replacement who was sent to YB, has been on board for weeks. Coach Magnin must now score points quickly with this team, otherwise his time in Lausanne may be over. Blick rating: 5

Has the promoted team already given up the relegation battle? The selection was not substantially improved during the winter break – and the preliminary round clearly showed that the quality is not good enough for the Super League. View rating: 3
