Although Tottenham has been given the title of "Price Spur" due to the move of inserting a bar in the transfer of Beckham, the nickname of Tottenham is fundamentally different from when people called Manchester United "Price Link" in the previous life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In the past life, Manchester United had been rumored with many players in each transfer period after Alex Ferguson's retirement, but the end result was always that after some negotiations, the player he wanted was sold by the club with a higher bid. And Manchester United's role in this process is only to increase the value of the target player, which has become what fans call a "price link". The intention is more to satirize Manchester United's management in the transfer market, which is always thunderous and rainy, and there is little concrete results in sight other than various transfer rumors.
The reason why Tottenham Hotspur is called "price thorn" by fans is more because people are shocked by Tottenham's bold move in the transfer market, and they are surprised to give Tottenham such a title. Therefore, this nickname is not a satire of Tottenham's inaction in the transfer market, but a lament that Tottenham is too good at burning money!
Although Tottenham have not made any big spending in the transfer market in excess of 10 million pounds so far, many people believe that George has paid a much higher transfer fee for players such as Carrick and Drogba on these deals.
A £9 million transfer fee was offered for Carrick, who had been on and off for a season, but he ignored the cheaper but more famous Joe Cole, brought in the little-known Drogba from the declining Ligue 1 and the up-and-coming young players such as Kompany, Petr Cech and Cristiano Ronaldo...... Combined, the cost of these deals is more than £30 million!
It is for this reason that these moves by George in the transfer market will be caused. After all, his behavior is better said to be future-oriented, but if it is difficult to say, it is the same as Moratti in Inter Milan, purely burning money with his own interests!
"He can't win anything with a bunch of kids!" was what Liverpool legend Alan Hansen said when he sarcastically mocked Alex Ferguson when he reused the 92 class after the retirement of "Manchester United's King" Eric Cantona. Now, Arsene Wenger has used this phrase to mock George's actions in the summer transfer market: "We can see from George Nelson's actions in the transfer market that he wants to replicate the glory of Manchester United's '92 generation' at Tottenham. But don't forget, Tottenham isn't Manchester United, Nelson isn't Alex Ferguson, and the players he bought can't be compared to the 92 generation. What's more, the Premier League is also far more competitive now than it was back then...... Therefore, Tottenham is likely to be dragged down by Nelson's whimsical move, and even end up with the same ending as last season's West Ham United!"
This is after seeing the ironic comment published in the "Times" about Wenger's sarcastic evaluation of Tottenham's recruitment move this summer, the only thought in George's mind -- are you embarrassed to say that it is whimsical for others to use young people to build a team? Looking at your performance at Arsenal in your previous life, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a pedophile!
Let's see, see how long Wenger can laugh! Knowing that Arsenal will soon have to sell off the main team because of the construction of a new stadium, George sneered in his heart, remembered Wenger's provocation this time, and was ready to wait for the right time to settle the account with him!
Although Tottenham's recruitment in the transfer market has puzzled many people, and at the same time, it has attracted a lot of media and fan attention because of its frequent actions and participation in the transfer of Beckham, but in fact, the vast majority of people's attention is now focused on Beckham himself, as well as Real Madrid, who announced the signing of Beckham.
After all, compared to Tottenham, Beckham and Real Madrid, who pursue a superstar policy, are obviously more appealing and can arouse the interest of fans. So, the discussion about Tottenham didn't last long in the newspapers before it was drowned out by the wave brought by the news of Real Madrid's signing of David Beckham. And this is the situation that George wants to see most now.
In George's view, it is enough to come out and bubble up once in a while to brush up on the presence, and a stable external environment is what Tottenham needs most now. Especially with almost the entire first team completely refurbished, George needed a stable environment to polish the new team.
However, just when the whole world has not yet recovered from the earthquake of Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid, another earthquake is quietly coming at this time!
Later on 1 July, Chelsea held a press conference to announce that Russian oil tycoon Roman Abramovich had successfully bought all of Chelsea's shares from Ken Bates for £150 million, becoming the new owner of the London club!
Immediately afterwards, Abramovich, who appeared at the press conference, announced three pieces of news that made all Blues fans excited after he became Chelsea owner in front of a group of media reporters on the scene!
The first is that Abou will pay off the £80 million debt that Chelsea has saved over the years out of his own pocket, so that Chelsea can get out of the predicament of high debt, the second is that the Russian tycoon said that he will allocate a transfer budget of up to £100 million to Chelsea, so that the team can have enough funds to strengthen the squad in the summer and challenge Manchester United and Arsenal's dominance in the league, and finally, Manchester United CEO Peter Kenyon has accepted Abu's invitation to take on the role of general manager and chief executive of Chelsea Football Club from today!
Paying off huge debts, a £100 million transfer budget, and the arrival of Kenyon, a top CEO...... With the announcement of these three pieces of news, Abramovich instantly gained the support of the vast majority of Chelsea fans. In particular, the poaching of Kenyon from Manchester United has made most Chelsea fans full of confidence in the future of the club - you must know that Manchester United can beat Real Madrid, which has implemented a superstar policy for three years, and is still the most money-absorbing football club in the world, and Kenyon as CEO is definitely the number one contributor. And now that the strongman is a Chelsea employee, doesn't that mean that the Blues' rise is just around the corner?
So, while little has been seen yet, Abu's actions are enough to silence doubts from fans and within Chelsea. It also shows that he bought Chelsea, not just for simple fun, but with a higher pursuit. For example, let Chelsea become the third pole of the Premier League, and even surpass Manchester United and Arsenal to become the new generation of hegemony in English football!
However, while Abou's arrival is a good thing for Chelsea as a club and for Blues fans, it is not all too rosy for many Chelsea players, manager Claudio Ranieri and other staff – once a son of heaven and a courtier, and three new officials in office. In order for the team to produce results as soon as possible, those players and staff who do not meet the requirements will definitely be cleansed.
In fact, the first person Abu wanted to replace was the current Chelsea manager, Ranieri, known as the "tinker". Just as Florentino didn't like Bosque no matter how he looked at it, Abou felt that the conservative Italian coach didn't fit in with his image of a big boss at all. It's just that because the head coach that Abou likes is basically famous at this time, and he doesn't plan to coach at Chelsea at home, and Ranieri also led Chelsea to the fourth place in the Premier League last season, the Russians let go of the tinkerer for the time being.
Although for various reasons, this first fire of Abou did not burn to Ranieri's head, a major change in the team was inevitable. As a result, under the operation of Kenyon and Ranieri, the names of stars such as Veron, Glen Johnson, Joe Cole, Damion Duff, and Wayne Bridge have been linked to Stamford Bridge. Clearly, Chelsea are also ready to make a big splash this summer.
Now that even the players are ready to be replaced, it is only natural that the Chelsea staff will not be able to escape the catastrophe. No, Steve Walsh, Chelsea's chief scout in Europe, handed in his resignation to Kenyon on the third day after Abou took over, and then turned his head into the arms of Tottenham, and was appointed by George as the chief scout for Europe!
"George, now I owe you a lot of money. On the phone, Kenyon said to George, "If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have let Steve [Walsh] go so easily, and I would have found a way to keep him." ”
"Well, Peter, thank you so much this time. Knowing that the other party was deliberately selling his favor this time, George naturally lowered his posture, "Next time, if there is a place where I want to be used, just ask, I will definitely try my best to help." ”
In George's view, Leicester City in the previous life was able to miraculously win the Premier League title in the 15-16 season, and Ranieri, as the team's manager, was certainly indispensable, but if it was not for the good foundation laid by Steve Walsh, who was the director of football at the time, he strongly advocated the purchase of N'Golo Kante and Vardy. Players such as Mahrez, the "Foxes" are unlikely to have the ability to create such a miracle.
Without N'Golo Kante, Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, Ranieri still wants to turn around and win the Premier League?
Therefore, when this extremely vicious scout resigned from Chelsea and took the initiative to join Tottenham, George's heart was naturally extremely happy.
The most important thing is that after having Walsh, Marotta and Paratici, three good players who have a very vicious eye, the troika of Tottenham's scouting system can finally be said to be basically formed. In this way, even in the future, when the memories of George's previous life are no longer useful, Tottenham, which has this troika system, can continue to bring a steady stream of players who are suitable for the team's tactical play to White Hart Lane!
