Seven Hundred and Fifty-Sixth, This Looks Like a Team that Is Going to the Premier League!

The time is getting closer to July.

All eyes in the world are focused on the top league. On the one hand, they are amazed by the local tyrants of Paris Saint-Germain, and on the other hand, they regret that the local tycoons of the past two seasons, Manchester City, have not invested in the transfer market this time.

Instead of investing, he sent Ireland to Aston Villa.

In addition, Manchester City also officially announced the sale of Trippier, Stones, Adam Lallana, and goalkeeper Courtois on loan in Belgium to Leeds United in the British Championship.

This has reignited controversy over the links between the two clubs.

Many people even questioned the outside world, thinking that Gao Shen was using his power to give and receive privately.

But soon, Manchester City Chairman Mubarak publicly clarified that the deal was agreed by the Manchester City management, and Leeds United also paid the transfer fee. The transfer fee for the four players exceeded five million pounds.

This immediately triggered a carnival among the Yorkshire media and fans.

In the words of the Yorkshire Post: This is like a team that is going to hit the Premier League!

The fans of Leeds United also became excited. After all, these players are carefully selected by Manchester City. Although they paid an expensive transfer fee, they can be bought. This in itself is Manchester City's special care for Leeds United. .

Only Leeds United and Manchester City themselves know that these four transfers are indeed more than five million pounds, but they can be paid in installments.

This also allows Leeds United to continue to pick up leaks in the transfer market after introducing four players.

The next one is the Congolese winger Bolasie of the League One team Plymouth.

The player played for Plymouth in League One last season.

Knock on the blackboard, knowledge point: it is Plymouth, not Portsmouth.

The former is in Devon in southwestern England, and the latter is in Hampshire in southeastern England, which is not the same place.

After Plymouth's relegation from the third tier, Leeds United easily signed Boracier for £100,000.

But this transfer also brought trouble for Leeds United.

Keith Millen, the head coach of Bristol City in the British Championship, publicly accused Leeds United of signing violations in the media, because they had reached a verbal agreement with Bolasier before, and Plymouth also acquiesced in the transfer.

"After Leeds United intervened, Bolasier broke the agreement between us!"

Bristol City also stated that they did not rule out the possibility of complaining to the FA.

Leeds United quickly counterattacked, saying that the club signed through regular channels and did not violate the rules. As for what Keith Millen said, Leeds United did not know about the agreement reached with Bolasier.

Bolasier also quickly clarified in the Yorkshire Post that he had not reached any agreement with Bristol City.

"They did contact me. I only expressed my willingness to join, but never signed an agreement."

In the end, Bristol City did not sue Leeds United to the FA, and things became obvious.

It can only be said that Bristol City's actions and efficiency in terms of signings were indeed too slow, so that they were cut off by Leeds United.

This wasn't big news in the first place, but now that Gao Shen was involved, it immediately became the focus of hype by the major media.

Who would have thought that the number one coach in active football would go to the third level to copy the bottom of the relegated team.

Especially this Borasiye, what is the reason behind it, so that Gao Shen can make such a big move?

It turned out that the Congo winger only scored seven goals in League One last season, but the 22-year-old African player is really fast and physically strong.

Simply put, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Aren't fast players everywhere in my British Empire?

The point is, he has British nationality, but not a local household registration book.

...

When the British media hype was high, Leeds United made a move quietly again.

This time, the signing is Ryan Bertrand, a young player of the first team of the Chelsea youth team.

Speaking of which, the 21-year-old left-back can be regarded as a victim of Chelsea's chaotic youth training system in recent years.

Bournemouth and Oldham, who were successively loaned to League One in the early years, performed fairly well. Later, they stayed in Norwich in the British Championship for a year and a half, and their overall strength has been significantly improved.

In the 2009-10 season, Reading, who was loaned to the British Championship, played the main role and helped Reading reach ninth in the league. He is a veritable main player in the British Championship.

Last season, Bertrand was loaned to Nottingham Forest, and his performance was still good. However, after being called back to Chelsea during the winter break, he only played 33 minutes in the second half. Even in the reserve team, the playing time Also not fixed, only played eight times.

The continuous loan, coupled with the waste in the first half of the year, caused Bertrand to wait for a chance at Chelsea, and his worth was always fluctuating around one million pounds.

Leeds United successfully persuaded Chelsea to let them go this time, and the transfer fee was one million pounds.

At present, in addition to Ashley Cole, there are Zhirkov in the Chelsea team, and Van Aanholt, the Dutch defender, is ranked ahead of Bertrand, which makes the Blues decide to let Bertrand go. orchid.

After signing Bertrand, Leeds United's other long-running transfer finally reaped results.

The White Rose announced the introduction of 21-year-old French midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin from Southampton for 1.5 million pounds.

This transfer has been discussed for more than a month, and the process is quite difficult.

On the one hand, Southampton has just been promoted from the League One to the Championship, and is planning to keep Schneiderlin to make a big splash. On the other hand, the Saints sold the team's young player Chamberlain to Arsenal for a thousand taels One and a half million pounds.

But it was precisely because of this that Schneiderlin wanted to leave.

One of the most important reasons for the French midfielder to join the Saints was that he believed that the Saints could return to the Premier League, but who would have thought that in the first season of joining, Southampton would be relegated to the League One.

In the past two years, he has been working hard in Southampton, but the departure of midfielder Adam Lallana has led to Southampton's weak attack in the frontcourt. Last season, he only ranked fourth in League One, and finally in the play-offs Thrillingly defeated Huddersfield, and narrowly entered the British Championship.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the British Championship, he immediately sold Chamberlain at a high price, which made the Saints panic.

More importantly, after the Saints sold Chamberlain, they did not show any ambition to sign up.

It was originally reported that the Saints wanted to buy Adam Lallana back from Manchester City, but in the end the England midfielder was persuaded by Gao Shen to go to Leeds United, which caused Schneiderlin to lose confidence in the team's promotion to the Premier League.

So, when Leeds United put forward an offer, Schneiderlin's heart skipped a beat. After all, everyone in the industry knows that this is a superb team and a favorite for the championship in the new season.

Southampton repeatedly rejected Leeds United's offer to Schneiderlin. In the end, Schneiderlin put pressure on Southampton through his agent, and finally persuaded the Saints to agree to the offer. The dues were finally locked in at £1.5 million.

This is a lot of premium for Schneiderlin, who is currently worth only 1.15 million pounds.

After signing Schneiderlin, Leeds United soon officially announced that they would introduce Belgian center Christian Benteke from Standard Liege in Liege for a transfer fee of one million euros.

The 20-year-old center forward was sent to Mechelen on loan as part of Cameroon striker Alois Nun's transfer to Standard Liege last summer. He made 19 Ligue 1 appearances and played 1,331 minutes. Into four goals, the performance is average.

But Leeds United attaches great importance to this deal.

Benteke was negotiated by Gao Shen himself when he went to Belgium.

At that time, Gao Shen was rushing to Belgium to meet with Courtois and persuade the Belgian goalkeeper to join Leeds United. Then he went to Standard Liege and successfully signed Benteke from Standard Liege.

One million euros is not cheap for a center forward who can't even play in Standard Liege.

...

With the approach of the new season's training camp, and with the joining of famous players one after another, Gao Shen can feel more and more his confidence in this Leeds United team.

Especially with the deepening of the transfer operation, he has been in close contact with the front line of transfer negotiations, and he has begun to have a deeper understanding and thoughts on many things.

Such as center.

Gao Shen has considered many center forwards in total, such as Jay Rodriguez from Burnley, Carlos Baca from Barranquilla Youth in Colombia, Jackson Martinez from the Jaguars in Mexico, and the standard column Benteke et al.

These centers all meet the requirements of Leeds United, and at the same time have relatively strong personal abilities.

At first, Gao Shen was most interested in Jackson Martinez.

why?

Because he is 24 years old, just at the age of playing, and his ability and physical fitness are very good, as long as the team organizes offensive tactics around him, I believe he can quickly play his worth.

When the time comes to resell, it will be money.

But after Gao Shen went south to London and had a meal with the chairman of the Football Association Bernstein, he found that the special provisions were not so easy to deal with. Among them, Paulinho was the best one, after all, he was a Brazilian player.

Mane and Salah are both problematic. Even Bernstein can only promise to help as much as possible. It is hard to say whether it will be successful or not.

In this case, if Gao Shen introduces Jackson Martinez again, the labor certification will be very problematic.

Jackson Martinez entered the national team in 2009, but since September 2010, he missed the opportunity to play for the national team due to ankle surgery, which led to his lack of playing time.

This is especially the case for Bacca, who has yet to make an appearance for the national team.

In this case, Gao Shen can only choose one of Jay Rodriguez and Benteke.

As for a genius-level center forward like Lucas, the cost of moving to Chelsea this summer is as high as 16 million pounds, which is simply not something that Leeds United can get their hands on.

After communicating with Burnley, Gao Shen finally chose Benteke, who is worth less.

Benteke's current performance is indeed not as good as Jay Rodriguez. After all, the latter has played a full season of the British Championship and scored 14 goals. He has performed better and is more adapted to the British Championship.

But Burnley's asking price was beyond the tolerance of Leeds United, so Gao Shen could only compromise.

Fortunately, Benteke looks rough, but in fact his footwork is quite thin, but his shot is a bit...

After all, he is the man who can break Teacher Zhan Jun's defense!
