"I'm satisfied, and I'm grateful to the ownership for giving me the freedom to put this squad together. We have 23 players, which is a good number, and we will also have to use academy players if necessary," he said. The final day of the transfer window was very quiet, with only Jaime Escario's loan move to Ebro completed, but he acknowledged that the past few months had been stressful and very difficult because of the large number of deals completed.
He also wanted to clarify the decision regarding Armero, who only took part in preseason with the Huesca side after being one of the club's first signings. "The decision was mine. I decided that Armero, who was not getting many opportunities during the summer, needed to play much more. From there, we discussed it with his representative and the club and considered that a loan was the best solution," he added. He also explained that the Lleida-born striker will not be able to play in the second-round match against Huesca because his contract includes the famous fear clause.
THE PROMOTION OBJECTIVE REMAINS
When asked about the objective after the transfer window, the sporting director was very clear, stating that "everyone's aim is promotion." "The road is very long, and now we have to show on the pitch that we have the qualities to achieve it. We have to prove it with results," he said.
Beyond the different profiles brought in during this transfer window, Sanz de Arce stressed that the ambition of returning to the second tier will be achieved by being a team: "Huesca has a squad, and every team has its own. You can have good players without having a good team, and we have worked to achieve the latter. After the first match, it became clear that we must continue to grow, and I have confidence in that."
