Chapter 179 The First Signing

The Derby County Club is already in contact with Van der Vaart’s agent, Robert Jones. Wansheng asked for the contact information and called him to inquire about the situation.

Robert Jones knows that Derby County is interested in Van der Vaart, and the Derby County club has contacted him, but Van der Vaart has not decided whether to leave, he only knows that Van der Vaart means to leave, but how, Van der Vaart has not decided yet down.

Wan Sheng failed to get any positive response, so he planned to talk to Van der Vaart in person.

"Mr. Wan Sheng, I will convey your message, but whether we can meet or not depends on Raphael..." Robert Jones said.

Wan Sheng got the news in the afternoon, and Van der Vaart refused to meet now.

"It's the national team's game, the European Cup, and Rafael is so focused on it that he doesn't want to talk about transfers, but he promised to talk to you face-to-face after the European Cup, of course, if you're still in Lisbon when you arrive. Otherwise, Raphael will go back to the Netherlands."

Wansheng understood.

Although I can't see Van der Vaart directly, this reply is actually very sincere. After all, it is the European Cup. It is difficult for players to consider transfer issues during international competitions, which may affect the performance of the game.

Wansheng also knew that the Netherlands would definitely not reach the final in the European Cup, and he would stay in Portugal until the end of the final, so he directly agreed.

Then Wan Sheng began to contact Van Persie's agent.

Van Persie is actually simpler than Van der Vaart, mainly because Van Persie will definitely leave Feyenoord. He has completely broken with the club. If it is a normal transfer, even 2 million pounds is enough to win. The main problem is to face and Arsenal competition, Wenger is very interested in Van Persie. There is no doubt that the fame of France's "professor" is attractive to young players. In contrast, although Wansheng believes that his ability to cultivate players is definitely much better than Wenger's, he knows it himself and others don't. That didn't work at all either.

But Derby County also has an advantage. That is the main position.

Wansheng can promise the main position, but Arsenal is definitely impossible. They bought Van Persie to buy the future. Henry's main position is unshakable. Their second forwards are Bergkamp and Reyes. , Van Persie to Arsenal can only play the fourth striker.

This is the difference.

Wan Sheng and Van Persie's agent called, just to let the agent convey this meaning. But in the end what he didn't expect was. Van Persie still refused to meet, and he offered only one condition - if Derby County can offer him a big contract with a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds, he is willing to come to Derby County.

Wan Sheng finally shook his head and said clearly, "This is impossible. The team's current highest-paid player is only 25,000 pounds a week."

The highest salary is Morris, which is a new contract renewed by the club. The weekly salary of other players is generally around 10,000 pounds, which is actually very high.

Salaries in the English league are generally higher than in other leagues. For example, at Feyenoord, Van Persie's weekly salary is only about 10,000 pounds. If he wants to directly ask for a contract with four times the salary, it is absolutely impossible, and it will break the club's salary system. Ercox would not agree.

In the end, the two sides broke down a bit.

Wansheng just gave up Van Persie directly, but he can understand that a normal European player, if he chooses one between Arsenal and Derby County, will naturally choose Arsenal. The main force is strong, because Arsenal is famous, and going to Arsenal is like becoming a big-name star directly. This is the attractiveness of giant clubs. In comparison, Derby County is really not attractive at all.

The transfer of the introduction of the striker was not smooth, and Wan Sheng could only look at it again. Next, he focused his attention on the full-back Lich Steiner.

He contacted the Grasshopper Club Zurich.

For small clubs in the Swiss league, they rely on training young players to resell to earn income. Naturally, they will not reject offers from other clubs for their young players. Lichtsteiner is famous in Switzerland, but in the whole In Europe, it can be said that the nameless, Derby County face little competition pressure.

The Derby County club offered only £1 million, and the Zurich Grasshoppers relented, but they asked to discuss the transfer after the European Cup.

Grasshoppers Zurich's intention is very clear, that is, they hope that Lichtsteiner can play in the European Cup. If they can perform well, their value will naturally rise a bit. Derby County can only accept this request.

However, Wan Sheng was relieved. In this way, Lichtsteiner was equal to winning, and the problem was just his worth.

With the £9.2 million sale of Cahill, he feels confident.

Next, there was new progress in the transfer of the Derby County club. Negotiations between the club and Manchester United were reached. The transfer fee of Oaks was finally fixed at 5.5 million pounds, which is very different from 10 million pounds, but Wansheng feels very Yes, this year, the European market has been disrupted by the big money of the Chelsea club, and the prices of many famous players have soared. Even in this case, a 28-year-old goalkeeper has never played in the World Series and has not been selected for a country. The team can sell for 5.5 million pounds, which is quite high. Usually, such players can have 2 or 3 million pounds. It is quite good. Hearing this transfer news, Wan Sheng felt very funny. This time Manchester United But got screwed.

Thinking of when the old Scottish man was looking forward to starting Oakes, only to be mediocre again and again, Wan Sheng felt in a very good mood.

However, the English media's comments on the transfer were not very good. "Look! After Derby County sold their leading striker, they sold their main goalkeeper!"

"Ox is the biggest contributor to Derby County's FA Cup win!"

"Derby County has begun to fall apart, what are other clubs waiting for? Derby County, Ribery, Morris, and Baines, come and beat them away!"

"I have a hunch that Derby County's new season will end with the worst result in Premier League history..."

"They're still trying to compete for a spot in Europe... it's funny!"

"..."

These reports are the speeches of the media, in fact, they are also the public thoughts. Not long after the summer transfer started, Derby County directly sold the leading striker Cahill and the main goalkeeper Oakes. It is easy to sell the players. But it is not easy to buy players of the same strength. Everton is willing to spend 9.2 million pounds to buy Cahill, but Derby County spends the same price, but they may not be able to buy strikers of the same strength. This is the case for forwards. The same goes for goalkeepers. Oaks' performance has been stable, and it's not easy to find his replacement.

Wansheng is also aware of this.

If he just sells the players and doesn't buy replacements, the fans will soon be dissatisfied, and he also wants to complete all the transfer work before the start of the training camp, otherwise new players will not be able to participate in the preparations. Then it will definitely affect the start of the league in August.

Wansheng has also begun to consider a replacement for Oaks.

Wang Xiaolei... Without a labor certificate, it is definitely unreliable. Before applying for a labor certificate, the club could only keep him on loan. Except for Wang Xiaolei, the club had no one to replace Oaks.

Wan Sheng also thought about several candidates, such as Arsenal's main goalkeeper Reina and Portugal's Ricardo, but these two players are too expensive, and they are too extravagant for Derby County. It is impossible for him to keep all the transfer fee in the goalkeeper position.

After reviewing the information sent by many clubs, Wansheng still finds it difficult to find a young and high-potential goalkeeper. In the end, he shook his head, feeling that he was thinking too far. He always wanted to buy young, high-potential and cheap players, but how could there always be such good things in the world, even Reina and Ricardo? The outstanding goalkeeper of the first time, the performance will not be very good when he first debuted. After all, experience can determine many things. In many cases, the goalkeeper's performance depends on experience, but the goalkeeper position requires more stability, not potential, strength, and ultimately. Wansheng still decided to buy a veteran, which is safe enough.

Karachi.

Wan Sheng's eyes were fixed on the name.

Wansheng's impression of Karachi is that this is AC Milan's substitute goalkeeper, but he is not clear about the specific situation. After reading the information sent by the club, Wansheng is very confident. He directly asked the club to start operating Karachi's transfer. meeting.

Karachi's full name is Zelziko Karachi, an Australian player who is 32 years old this year and is a veteran, but the goalkeeper position can usually be played until he is over 35 years old, even 40 years old, even 32 years old. Not old, it is worth mentioning that he is the tallest professional goalkeeper in the world, with a height of 2.02 meters, which is definitely a giant level on the football field.

Karachi came to England from Australia in 1996 to play for Leicester City, but he returned to Australia after one season, followed by four years with Roda in the Netherlands before finally moving to Perugia, Italy.

To become the main goalkeeper of the Serie A team Perugia, Karachi's strength is needless to say, but his career in the national team was not smooth. He has been selected for the Australian national team many times, and has been suppressed by the legendary Australian goalkeeper Bosnic before. , After Bosnic retired, the number one goalkeeper of the Australian team became Schwarzer, so he has always been the number two goalkeeper of the national team. In this regard, there are still many excellent goalkeepers in Australia, but Karachi's ability is still good definitely.

Like the No. 1 goalkeeper of a top-level league team, the average team will not be easily sold. What's more, Karachi is only 32 years old. He can stay in good shape for another three years, or even longer, but The interesting thing here is that this year Perugia was ordered to be relegated to the third division due to the financial crisis, so that many of their outstanding players were divided up by other teams.

Even if Perugia is reluctant to sell Karachi, Karachi must want to leave.

Imagine that the main goalkeeper of a top league team is 32 years old and in good shape. Such goalkeepers are generally hot, but in fact it is not the case. It is not easy for Karachi to transfer. First of all, he is sure I don’t want to go to the lower leagues. I want to go to the top league teams at least the same level as Perugia, but the top league teams generally don’t lack main goalkeepers, especially those rich and powerful. His age and fame are only limited to the rich. Even if it is not a giant, there are not many teams in the five major leagues that can play as substitutes and lack the No. 1 goalkeeper. Take the Premier League as an example, the only 20 teams lacking the main goalkeeper is Derby County.

Therefore, there are many people who want to buy Karachi, but there is no real sincerity among them, and there is no one who can promise the main position.

So when Derby County joined the competition, it quickly stood out from many competitors. First, Derby County could promise the main position. Second, Derby County was a Premier League team and could participate in the UEFA Cup next season. Third, Derby County's offer is not low, 2 million pounds, which is 3 million euros. This offer beats most of its competitors. Derby County can also provide Karachi with a contract with a weekly salary of about 15,000 pounds, which makes Perugia club and Karachi themselves are very satisfied.

However, Wansheng was still a little worried about Karachi's ability. After all, it was difficult to determine the specific strength of a player just by looking at the data, so he flew directly from Portugal to Italy and met Karachi.

At an agreed time, Wan Sheng quickly met Karachi.

Karachi is indeed surprisingly tall, not only that, his sturdy body with long hair on his back, and the eyes of gods, looks really a bit ferocious, if you say that this guy is an Italian mafia, it is estimated that some people believe it, Fortunately, Karachi himself seemed kind.

Of course, Wansheng is not a 'appearance party'. He mainly needs to check Karachi's potential and strength through the talent skills of the football training master system.

Potential: 90.

Strength: Yellow level (above 80).

This result makes Wansheng very satisfied. Generally, players over the age of 30 have very close potential and strength. For example, Ian Taylor, the strength evaluation and potential are only a little different. The same is true for Pesquisolido before. So what is certain is that Karachi's strength is definitely close to 90, which is much higher than that of Oaks, and the strength is completely able to stand on the heels of the top league.

With such strength, the 32-year-old veteran's performance will also be stable. Coupled with the bonuses in all aspects of the players' abilities provided by the football training master system, Wansheng can be sure that there is no problem with Derby County's goalkeeper position.

Wansheng and Karachi had a friendly talk about Derby County and the current situation of the club. Karachi was very satisfied with the conditions offered by Derby County, and his agent also supported Karachi to go to the Premier League. Agree soon.

Just less than a week after Oakes left Derby County for Manchester United, Derby County's official website announced that it had finalized the first transfer in the summer - Karachi's official transfer to Derby County will become the new season's team to compete in the Premier League Main goalkeeper.
