Piece for Get French Football News on Rennes' change in transfer policy. After years of what has seemed like austerity despite falling under the stewardship of one of the wealthiest football owner families in the game, Rennes have suddenly opened up their forgotten cheque-book to sign four bright young talents including Faitout Mouassa and Benjamin Bourigeaud. So is this a brave new world for the Breton club? Will they compete with Monaco, PSG, Marseille and Lille this summer? The reality, I suggest, is far less exciting for fans of Les Rouges et Noirs, for it is merely the readdressing of an imbalance, one that has threatened to turn Rennes stagnation in Ligue Un into regression.
