St Etienne have endured a difficult start to their Ligue 1 campaign with 3 straight defeats however they are on the verge of signing Atletico Mineiro striker Diego Tardelli.
He told L’Equipe: “That trail will soon reach its conclusion in one way or another. Sporting director Damien Comolli is currently in Brazil to hold talks.”
Perrin continued: “I can understand the disappointment of the fans with the result (versus Boulogne). But we must not forget the circumstances of the defeat.
“If we had a team that could never keep the ball we could understand their resentment.
“I ask for a little patience. Only when the summer transfer window will be closed will the team be at its best. Anyway, our team will be better than last year.”
