Chapter 223: Poaching and Being Poached (Part II)
Is this karma? Seeing that Moggie had traveled thousands of miles from Turin to London this time to sign Frank Ribery from himself, George couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was only then that George noticed with some hindsight. It turned out that while he was planning to poach players from other clubs and look for ways to further strengthen Tottenham's squad, other teams were also eyeing the opportunity to carve up these high-quality assets under Tottenham!
In fact, there are reasons behind the likes of Luka Toney and Robbie Keane choosing to move away this summer. It's just that most of these players were not in George's long-term plan at that time, so they didn't attract George's attention.
The situation is very different now, with Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo being the best candidates in George's mind to dominate Tottenham's two wings for the next five to eight years. George, who has memories of his past life, knows very well that there will never be more than five players of his generation and Ribery who are comparable in ability!
Suffice it to say, as long as the three of them are in charge, George won't need to worry about Tottenham's wide configuration for a long time to come. Therefore, after learning that Moggie came to London this time to bring in Ribery, George, who had no idea of selling the Frenchman at all, naturally had no better attitude: "I'm sorry, Manager Moggie, I'm afraid you have to run for nothing this time." Frank is a very important part of our Spurs first-team squad and I would never sell him to another club!"
"Mr. Viscount, you must not have any opinion or ill opinion of me on this matter. Sensing George's resolute attitude in his words, Moggi hurriedly snorted to try to ease the somewhat stiff atmosphere at the scene, "I just saw that after Robben joined, Ribery's playing time for Tottenham Hotspur decreased compared to last season, and I mistakenly thought that he was no longer valued at Tottenham, so I wanted to bring him to the Alp Stadium...... I assure you that we didn't make any personal contact with the players before we came here!"
can be hailed as the "transfer king of Italy", Mo Lao Fox's vicious vision and superb means are beyond doubt. He is keenly aware that while Nedved has been in good form this season, the Czech Ironman, who is already in his thirties, is past the prime of his career after all, and his ability will only decline over time. Therefore, the matter of finding a qualified successor for Nedved was naturally put on the agenda by Mo Lao Fox.
In George's previous life, the old foxes at this time first fell in love with Serbian and Montenegro midfielder Stankovic, who had a similar style of play to Nedved, but Inter Milan, who had just been slaughtered by Moggi in the Cannavaro deal, was unwilling to sell the Serbian black man to a competitor, coupled with the new Roberto Mancini's efforts to retain his old department when he was coaching at Lazio, which eventually led to Stankovic's transfer to stillbirth. After that, Moggi set his sights on Mutu, who was laid off by Chelsea after a drug scandal and had no ball to kick for a while, and took the young Romanian talent to the Alp Stadium, giving the world another glimpse of what it means to be unique.
However, Moggie is also quite unparticular about this free transfer. Although Mutu was terminated by Chelsea and became a free agent, the Romanian, as the party who committed the offence, was required to pay a liquidated damages to Chelsea to compensate for the financial losses caused by his misconduct. However, neither Mutu himself nor Juventus, who signed the Romanian for free, did not pay the amount to Chelsea, resulting in the Blues having to take Mutu and Juventus to court to defend their legal rights.
Unlike in his previous life, after failing to seduce Stankovic, Moggie did not pay attention to Mutu, who was at the lowest point of his career, but turned his attention to Frank Ribery, who was impacted in the main position of the Tottenham team because of the arrival of Robben. After all, compared to Mutu, who has not been in official competitions for a long time and his competitive form is still unknown, the younger and better Ribery is obviously more in line with Moji's requirements!
With a clear better option, Moggie would not consider risking a bad deal with Chelsea and taking a gamble on Mutu. It's just that what Mo Lao Fox didn't expect was that Ribery actually had such a big weight in George's heart, and he directly rejected the deal without even listening to the transfer offer!
"Don't worry, I still trust you on this point, Manager Moji. After listening to Moji's explanation, George couldn't help but smile and said - since he showed his energy in Tony's transfer a little, Moji has never dared to challenge George's majesty. Because Mo Lao Fox knows that the other party is the same as the Agnelli family who controls Juventus, and it is an existence that he must not offend!
After sending off the old fox Mo, who was a little depressed by the failure to poach Ribery, George summoned general manager Marotta and the head of the information center, Aaron Friedrich from Germany, to his office to discuss how to prevent and deal with the poaching of other teams - Moggie's visit was a good reminder to George, and he was reminded of the undercurrent surging beneath the seemingly calm water. Otherwise, when it happens, then Tottenham and George will have to face a rather passive situation.
The Information Centre, a new department established at about the same time as the Tottenham Hotspur Lab, is responsible for assisting the various departments within the Tottenham Club to collect and manage all kinds of information, and to provide timely information support when needed, so as to reduce manpower and time costs and improve work efficiency.
And now, under George's assignment, the information center has a new task, which is to strengthen the collection of intelligence, and find out which clubs have the intention of digging Tottenham in advance as much as possible!
Although George is confident in the loyalty of most players, it is one thing to have confidence, and the precautions that need to be done must be done, and all hope cannot be pinned on the personal morality of the players - if someone sees the money and asks for a transfer under the temptation of a high salary, then Tottenham's losses will be great!
If you want to poach Tottenham, who are already on guard, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!!) After some discussion and preliminary finalization of a response plan with Marotta and Aaron Friedrich, George thought confidently in his heart.
