PS3: Yesterday I got the news that my grandfather was hospitalized with pneumonia with a fever, so we had to go to the hospital as an escort on the weekend. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoSo the update is late, forgive me......
After learning and confirming that the club had agreed to Tottenham's offer for them, Bierovka and Basturk, who were on vacation, immediately entrusted their agents to negotiate with Paratici on a personal offer, and it only took one day to finalize all the details of the contract!
The main reason why these two transfers are progressing so quickly is that neither Basturk nor Bierovka want to continue playing for Bayer Leverkusen. After all, Bayer Leverkusen's sudden downfall last season and the sale of pillars such as Ballack and Ze Roberto to rivals left Basturk with no hope of repeating the glory of the 01-02 season. At the same time, the Turkish international was disappointed that the Turkish international was disappointed to trust Simmak, a newcomer who had only previously played in the Bundesliga, and had no intention of establishing him as the heart of the midfield. Therefore, upon learning of Tottenham's interest in bringing him in, Basturk immediately made a decision.
Although Tottenham already have players in the squad who overlap with Carrick and Redknapp, Basturk is still confident that he can make his mark at White Hart Lane. Just like when he joined Bayer Leverkusen two years ago, he was forced to be part of the main squad in the competition with Ballack, LaMelo, Schneider, Ze Roberto and others.
The reason why Bierovka chose to leave Bayer Arena is even simpler - at Bayer Leverkusen, he is just a newcomer and simply does not get the same freedom as he did when he played at Munich 1860!
At Munich 1860, the team boss was the veteran Hasler. He encouraged Bierovka to use technique and breakthroughs to be bold in disrupting the opposition's defence. At Bayer Leverkusen, even if the pharmaceutical company had lost two big players at that time, Ze Roberto and Ballack, the position of the team's boss and the core of the midfield could not fall to Bierovka, and it was impossible for head coach Topmueller to leave the same meritorious players such as Schneider and let a newcomer take on the heavy responsibility. The change in tactical position has led to a disappointing performance for Bierovka this season at the pharmaceutical factory, and there is no sign of the left-sided frenzy of playing at Munich 1860.
It was because of his mediocre performance at Bayer Leverkusen last season that when Tottenham officially announced the arrival of Vierovka, Tottenham fans and the British media did not react much, only to simply welcome the arrival of the German as an ordinary player transfer.
As for Tottenham's other signings, the attitude of these people is very different. After learning that the club had signed Basturk, both fans and the media praised George's signing. Compared with the unlucky Bierovka, Basturk was one of the main players of Leverkusen's Sanya Dynasty, and he also had an excellent performance in the 02 South Korea-Japan World Cup, and his strength has long been recognized. Had it not been for Bayer Leverkusen's sudden downfall after the World Cup, Basturk would have even had hope of hitting the top midfield.
While most English fans were unkind to the Turks due to Leeds' encounter in Istanbul and the clash between David Beckham and Spai Alpay, Basturk was an exception. Unlike most players from Turkey's big three, Basturk was born and raised in Bochum, Germany, and only got Turkish citizenship and played for the Star and Moon Army because of his family ties. Therefore, after learning this, British fans and the media did not have many doubts about Basturk's arrival, and most of them lamented that George had tossed for so long this summer, and finally had a signing that seemed normal......
With the successful signings of Basturk and Bierovka, the total number of players in Tottenham's first-team squad has reached 22, including the simultaneous transfers of Nottingham Forest defender Michael Dawson and River Plate's rising star Javier Mascherano. Although they are still three players short of the required 25-man limit for the first team, Tottenham are in a much better position than the previous situation where the first team could not even make up a starting line-up.
"It's been a really hard time for everyone this time. Looking at Marotta and the others, who had lost a lot of weight during this time, realizing that they were really playing a little big this time, George smiled embarrassedly, and bowed gratefully to everyone present, "Next, please continue to work hard." When these last few transfers are completed, I will give you a big bonus. Rest assured, the amount of this bonus will definitely satisfy everyone. β
There is no more effective means of winning the hearts of subordinates than a generous reward. Although Saladin said this sentence more than 800 years ago, George always thought that it was indeed very reasonable. After all, Marotta came to Tottenham to work for personal development and better treatment, and they didn't come to be Lei Feng. If they don't get any additional benefits as a result of their exhaustion, it's only a matter of time before they move to other clubs.
You know, for most football clubs, it's extremely rare for Tottenham to have to change an entire first-team squad with a list of more than 20 candidates. Therefore, after seeing Marotta and the others travel almost all of Europe in less than a month and secure most of the transfers in the plan, it is only natural that George will give them a handsome bonus to reward them for their hard work during this time.
However, looking at the completion of this reinforcement plan, George's heart is still quite regretful. Because he found that in addition to Basturk, most of Tottenham's other signings were future stars who were previously unknown or had just made a name for themselves, and it was really rare for players like the Turk to choose to join Tottenham.
For example, Xavi Alonso and Kaka, who were also included in George's recruitment plan this time. Faced with Tottenham's offer, these players invariably chose to refuse. Because in their view, joining Tottenham doesn't do much to boost their careers.
After all, Xavi Alonso's Real Sociedad has just played an almost crazy season, only at the last moment in the standings was overtaken by Real Madrid and relegated to the runner-up of La Liga, and he naturally will not be too interested in joining Tottenham Hotspur with the Champions League to play this season, and Kaka has already received a commitment from AC Milan through Leonardo, an intermediary, waiting to go to San Siro this summer, let alone agreeing to Tottenham's invitation to play at White Hart Lane.
It seems that before making tangible results, Tottenham's main targets can only be placed on those players who have not become famous, as well as veterans who are not old. Looking at the first-team list in his hand and the completion of the recruitment, George secretly made a decision in his heart.
"Boss, what are you talking about!" Seeing George say this, Marotta and the others couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, "As an employee of Tottenham, these jobs are originally our business. If we can't even complete these tasks, what's the use of the club hiring us?"
Hearing George's promise that he would give them a large bonus, Walsh and Paratici and others were naturally extremely happy in their hearts, and felt that their hard work during this period was really not in vain. So, after returning the gift, Marotta was the first to ask, "That's right, boss." You said there are still a few transfers to complete? Why don't you send the mission down and we'll do it now. Save a lot of dreams at night, and when we are about to make a move, it will make waves again. β
Although Marotta's words were high-sounding, in reality, they just wanted to see George fulfill his promise and get this bonus sooner. But you can't say it, as long as both sides know it. Otherwise, it will only add embarrassment to both parties.
Seeing that Marotta and the others in front of him were acting so positively, George, who understood what was going on, naturally would not be so brain-dead as to say that this matter. I saw him turn around and take out some information that he had specially asked the scouting department to collect, and said his latest transfer targets: "They are Luca Toney, an Italian center forward who plays for Brescia Club in Serie A, French winger Franck Ribery, who has just terminated his contract with Ales Club and is currently a free agent, and Γlvaro Arbeloa, the main right-back of Real Madrid's B team!"
"Giuseppe (Marotta), you've just returned from France, so you should be familiar with the situation over there. So, Ribery's signing is up to you. After distributing the information of the target players to the crowd, George began to assign his own tasks, "Paratici, you are Italian, so it is up to you to talk to Brescia about Toney's transfer. β
"Boss, I'm going to take care of the Arbeloa deal?" Walsh hurriedly asked seeing that Marotta and Paratici had been assigned tasks. He didn't want to see everyone else having something to do but himself being left behind.
"No, Walsh, your task is to continue to organize people to gather player information across Europe, and try to build a player database within the next year. After all, we at Tottenham have not done enough in this regard. Hearing Walsh's words, George shook his head and said, "As for Arbeloa's transfer...... I'm going to go to Madrid in person. After all, there are some things that I have to talk to Florentino face to face. β
