Chapter 9: Lend-Lease Back
David didn't know the complicated feelings of the fans at this time, because at this time, he also had a full schedule in the Netherlands, and even if he heard the news of Toshak's attack on the club and Alonso, he did not have time to deal with it.
He has always been a man who will repay his eyes, although this is a derogatory term, but he thinks that it is the most appropriate word to describe himself, if someone comes to provoke him, as long as he has the ability to retaliate, then he will never let that person have a good time, this can even be regarded as a creed in his life.
Let him be happy for a few days for the time being, and then talk about it when he has finished the transfer of these players.
Bringing Kuyt back to Notts County from Utrecht for a transfer fee of €120w.
Last season, the hard-working young striker had just entered the team's main line-up, but he was not an essential core, and this price point was enough to make Utreer excited, anyway, the young people in the Netherlands have it, and Kuyt's talent is really not excellent.
The 17-year-old Sneijder was taken away from the Ajax academy and left Ajax with a €50w training fee.
30w euros took young defender Bora Luz from Waalwijk.
At this point, the trip to the Netherlands has also come to an end, although Dutch football is in the midst of a talent blowout at this time, but David does not want too many Dutch people in the team, because in his impression, the Dutch players are not united enough, for the sake of stability in the dressing room, it is really not easy to control.
Although the trip to the Netherlands has ended, David's reinforcements are far from the end.
Italy is also a place where David needs to go and sweep in person.
Di Natale, a late-blooming striker who was still playing for Serie B side Empoli, persuaded them to sell the 23-year-old who still looked like he was doing nothing.
100w euros took Maggio from Vicenza, who had just been relegated.
With Grosso taken away from Serie C side Chietti for 10w euros, and if it were a little more than a little later, the brilliant left-back would have been taken away by Perugia, and David did not believe that Notts County could compete with each other.
Finally, there is an infamous player and a veteran striker who is over 34 years old, Dario Hubnel.
If it weren't for Tony winning the Serie A Golden Boot at the age of 38 in his previous life, and the media reported the relevant news, David would not have known that in the 01-02 season, there was an old guy who won the Serie A Golden Boot at the age of 34, and this old guy was Hubnel who played all the way from the amateur league to the Serie A, which is an inspirational model.
After winning the Serie A Golden Boot, in the 02-03 season, Hubnell was still efficient, scoring 14 goals in 27 games, this kind of data, no one would have thought of appearing in such an old striker.
According to David's team building policy, such an old player is obviously not in his consideration, but now is really not the time to be willful, these two seasons are the peak of Hubnel, a player who can win the Golden Boot in Serie A, can't he do League Two?
The reason why Hubnel is considered, David just wants to find a stable scoring point for the team, whether it is Villa or Di Natale, they are not geniuses who became famous early, there is such an old guy to escort them, not only the team's results are guaranteed, but they can also grow faster.
It wasn't too much trouble to get Hubnel, after all, it was already the late stage of his career, and it would be good to be able to make more money to secure his future; As for Piacenza, someone pays 300w euros for an old guy who may retire at any time, is there anything more pie-in-the-sky than this?
After finalizing the transfer of several players, David laughed at his natural hard work and rushed to Portugal without stopping.
For 25w euros, he bought the all-round midfielder Meireles from Portuguese second-tier side Aves.
Bohingva was bought from Boavista for 45w euros, and if it were a few more nights, the brilliant full-back would be loaned out to the second-tier team.
These two operations are relatively easy, the player is nobody, the club is not famous, and the transfer fee given by David is worthy of two players.
However, in the future, Porto, the famous black store in European football, David is a bit of a wall.
His first target was Carvalho, a low-key defender who had just returned to Porto from his loan spell.
Although not for sale in Porto, David's offer of 400w euros is enough to make Porto happy, the key problem is that Carvalho himself does not want to play in the third tier of England.
Of course, it is not a big deal for David to convince a player, and it doesn't even take too much foolishness to list his investment in the construction of the team and the recruitment of the team in the new season, and Carvalho got on David's thief ship and agreed to transfer to Notts County.
The one who really gave David a headache was Deco.
The transfer fee of 1000w euros impressed Porto, and the annual salary of 100w euros also impressed the player himself, and everything seemed to be in order.
But here's the problem, Deco is Brazilian and has never been called up to the national team, which means that he is not eligible to apply for a labor certification, and even if he moves to Notts County, he will not be able to play for the team at all.
David scratched his head, although English clubs can apply to the FA for special terms, but this thing can be said to be the welfare of the giants, not to mention the League Two team of Notts County, even if it is a League One team, it is impossible to pass it, and it is impossible to pin hope on this kind of illusory thing.
In the end, David gritted his teeth and reached an agreement with Porto, Deco transferred to Notts County, but Notts County will loan Deco to Porto for two years, and Porto will bear the player's salary.
Deco landed in Europe in '97 and started playing in Portugal, according to Portuguese law, as long as a player has played in Portugal for five years, he is eligible to apply for Portuguese nationality, and as long as Deco continues to play for Porto for two years, at that time, he will obtain Portuguese nationality.
Two seasons later, if all goes well and Notts County are a Premier League team, Deco can return to help the team in the Premier League.
David's mind has been caught up in the endless YY, and the two core of Alonso and Deco control the team's midfield, what a beautiful picture.
The last stop of the trip was France, David spent 8w euros from the French League team to sign the future French team and Bayern's double core Ribery, at this time the Scar Warrior was just a small role that did not enter the stream, and he followed David with the package.
In just a few days, David has traveled almost all the major football powers in Europe, but he is also very tired, this is not a vacation to enjoy the sun and sand.
At the same time, there are two other deals on English soil, both of which David has handed over to the club's staff to operate.
£40w bought Lescott from Championship side Wolves.
£60w bought goalkeeper Ben Foster, who had just signed for Stoke City.
When David's journey was all over, the strongest squad that Notts County could actually build at the moment was revealed.
