Chapter 12: Repeated slaps in the face
"Admittedly, the forward line and the midfield are all in place, and it looks picturesque, but everyone knows that you can only win by defending, and even if you attack sharply, if you have a big colander at the back, you can't win the game, and now the idiot chairman of Notts County has gone into the wrong place, he thinks about football too simply. Without a good backline, then again, Notts County still can't escape relegation in the new season. ”
It still seems to make sense, whether it is Nottingham County or Nottingham Forest fans feel this way, but this time, Nottingham Forest fans are not blindly happy, nor are they blindly gloating and taunting their mortal enemies, and Notts County fans do not have the slightest worry, because they all vaguely feel that this time the Nottingham Post is going to be slapped in the face again.
Sure enough, in the new issue of the Nottingham Evening News, another batch of Notts County transfer news was announced.
400w euros to introduce the main central defender Carvalho of the Portuguese Super League giants;
40w euros to bring in Championship Wolves central defender Lescote;
Bolaruz at 30w, Westermann at €120, Bosingwa at 45w, Grosso at 10w, and Lahm on loan from the Bundesliga are not only outstanding stars in their playing years, but also young and talented players, spending more than 600w euros to prove the club's long-term plans.
Oh, and with two young goalkeepers, Diego López and Ben Foster, the club's first-team squad is fully equipped.
Thinking of this, every die-hard Notts County fan is in tears, how many years have been waiting for this day to finally come, maybe this group of players is not the strongest now, but everyone can see their bright future.
Crucially, they saw the boldness of Chairman David and his plan to continue to run the club, and as long as they could stay engaged, Notts County would eventually go on to glory.
And at this time, Nottingham Forest fans can only say sourly, "What if you have money?" It's not just that you can only play in the second division, and when you are promoted to League One! ”
However, they also have to admit in their hearts that if this squad can't be promoted, then how strong is the League Two!
Careful people have counted the transfer fees of players brought in by Notts County this summer, and they have come up with a staggering figure, which has also shocked the entire English football world.
3,898w euros, counting Deco, who is temporarily on loan at Porto because he can't play for the team, this is the transfer fee paid by Notts County this summer, which is equivalent to about 2,500w pounds.
If this is the transfer budget of a Premier League team, it may not be surprising that Notts County is only a League Two team and the money could buy any League Two club, including their stadium.
If you compare this figure to the Premier League, everyone is surprised to find that Notts County's transfer investment this summer can actually rank third, second only to Manchester United and Arsenal.
With £2,800W bringing in White Wizard Veron and £1,900W bringing in PSV Eindhoven's leading goalscorer Ruud van Nistelrooy, Manchester United have spent a net £4,600W in the transfer market this summer.
In order to compete for the league title, Arsenal are also not to be outdone, bringing in several powerful players, and investing more than 2,700w pounds in the transfer market.
Then there is Notts County's £2,500w, a figure that crushes the rest of the Premier League.
Although Chelsea paid £3,200w in transfer fees, they also recouped £900w through the purchase of players, so they are still behind Notts County in terms of net transfer spending.
The season has not yet begun, and there are already countless fans who have turned Notts County into a quasi-League One team, and it is clear that such a large investment is enough for even a rookie coach to crush the vast majority of League Two teams with this squad.
was slapped in the face again and again, and the "Nottingham Post" didn't seem to care anymore, and simply tore their faces to the end, this time, they were still looking for a breakthrough from Notts County's transfer strategy and player configuration.
"League One and League Two teams pay more attention to practicality in the use of players, sometimes it is not necessarily high value means that he can adapt to the League Two, and Notts County has introduced young players, maybe they will have a good development in the future, but how much combat effectiveness can they have now, you know, the biggest disadvantage of young players is instability, and emotions on the pitch are also prone to fluctuations, anyone will play downwind, but once faced with difficulties, I am afraid that a group of young people will become headless flies on the field, and then eventually collapse."
Fans don't know how to describe the Nottingham Post, although the Nottingham Post says the obvious truth, but after being slapped in the face several times in a row, haven't they learned their lesson, will Notts County really be unprepared?
Well, the next day's favorite slap in the face time appeared again, the "Nottingham Evening News" announced the transfer news of Notts County's introduction of Serie A goalscorer Hubnel, countless fans are snickering, don't you say that there are no old players to bring, Notts County's boys have poor stability, now it's okay, Notts County directly bought an elderly striker, who is so old that he can even be a coach directly, this time you can stop fighting!
In fact, the Nottingham Post wanted to continue to question how much combat power the old guy Hubnel still had, but after turning over the information, they had to keep their mouths shut.
Scored 17 goals in 31 games in Brescia last season, you know, Serie A is now the number one league.
Even if the old guy Hubnell has declined in state, he is definitely the master of God Blocking and Killing God and Buddha in League Two, so don't hack him to find himself boring, otherwise his face will not be beaten at that time.
The Nottingham Post was honest, and at this time, the Notts County players began to assemble and start preparations for the new season.
