Chapter 285: Peter Pan
Peter Pan Robben just transferred to PSV Eindhoven from his hometown club Groningen a season ago, and scored 12 goals in a total of 33 appearances, which was very eye-catching, helping the team win the Eredivisie title, and is already a well-known young player in European football.
If David is not mistaken, after spending two seasons at PSV Eindhoven, Peter Pan joined the Blues for £1,200w (€1,800) and became part of Jose Mourinho's squad.
And now, if Notts County had been the first to strike, they wouldn't have needed that high price at all.
A healthy Robben would be a nightmare for every team, but the Glass Man nickname has stayed with him throughout his career, and perhaps he has only been able to play a full season or two.
And a very critical point, Robben's style of play is a bit unique, obviously many times passing to teammates in the middle is a good opportunity to score, but in the end he still chose to shoot by himself, and it is no wonder that Ribery fought with him in the dressing room later.
Now Ribery is in Notts County, although it is not as high as the later king, but the hot temper is not reduced at all, if the two really come to such a show in the Notts County dressing room, it will be funny.
However, David finally thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to take action against Robben, because he really couldn't find a more suitable candidate, even if something unpredictable happened in the future, with the big treasure trove of Notts County Academy, there will always be a young player who matures and can take charge of himself.
So David asked Eindhoven for a quote.
In fact, PSV Eindhoven is still very optimistic about the development of Robben, who has only been in the team for one season and has become an indispensable member of the team, and his raids on the right flank have often been an important magic weapon for the team to break the deadlock.
However, in this era of gradual gold, for the teams in the Eredivisie, the hope star must not be retained, what they are pursuing is to sell it to the five major leagues at a high price after the talent is played, and then continue to cultivate demons, this is their survival mode.
That said, there is no such thing as a non-sale in their team.
Anyway, if Notts County's bid can impress them, then they have no reason to continue to hold Robben Tunzi, it is better to sell it early and train new people!
So, several Eindhoven people discussed it and replied directly to Notts County.
1600w euros, if Notts County can come up with this price, they can take Robben directly.
Supposedly, this price is not high, but for Robben at this time, it is a bit high, after all, he has not achieved too much, just has a good season.
David thought about it and counteroffered 1000w euros, which was still very worth it to buy Robben at this price.
PSV Eindhoven paid 430w euros to Groningen when they bought Robben at the beginning of last season, and now it has only been a season and they have netted 570w euros, is there a better return on investment than this?
However, Eindhoven obviously felt that he should make more money, but after careful consideration, he didn't dare to quote too high a price, because Robben's injury tendency is quite obvious, God knows if he can't sell it, if he is really injured next season and falls into his hands, it will be a big loss!
As a result, Eindhoven's latest offer has been reduced to 1,200w euros.
This price David can afford, but David always feels that this transaction is a bit of a loss, when has he ever done a loss-making business!
So, after carefully collecting it in his memory, David made his own conditions.
Notts County could make a bid of €1,200w, but PSV Eindhoven would not only have to sell Robben to Notts County, but also Depay from the Academy to Notts County.
David remembers very well that when Depay joined Manchester United in his previous life, he was worth more than 3,000w pounds, even if the Red Devils' performance did not meet expectations, it was enough to attract attention.
Notts County took it over for a few years, and even if they couldn't find a place in Notts County in the future, they could sell it to other teams, at least Notts County made a lot of transfer fees.
And for Depay, receiving better youth training and working with more outstanding young players in the same age group can make him even better than in his previous life!
Therefore, such a digging of the foot of the wall, David sat up without any burden.
And on the side of Eindhoven, the price of 1200w euros makes them feel like they have made a lot of money, but what the hell is this Depay?
When I asked the director of the academy, it turned out to be a little kid who had just joined the academy, and there was nothing special about it.
Admittedly, the young players who can make it into PSV Eindhoven's academy have already shown some talent, but so what?
There are many talents who are eliminated every year, and not everyone can become a talent, football is so cruel.
Since Notts County named Depay, PSV Eindhoven didn't even have to hesitate, because they didn't have any losses, should they earn 1200w or 1200w.
In the end, both parties happily agreed on the deal, as they both felt that they had earned it, but who would have the last laugh really needed time to verify.
So far, the two important positions of the reinforcement of the strong guard have been completed, but in the back position, David is a little scratching.
It's really hard to find a young midfielder who can withstand loneliness and has the ability to play for Notts County.
Maybe there is such a condition of the back, but can't promise the playing time of the rough dog, who wants to come!
The team's two major organizational midfielders, Deco and Alonso, have to rotate even Mascherano's characteristic defensive midfielders, who can only be substitutes for the bench and play on some unimportant occasions, who can accept this?
After thinking about it, David didn't have a suitable candidate, so he simply picked a son in the end.
Of course, Notts County actually only had three full-fledged midfielders last season, and when Alonso was injured, Mereles and Mascherano took up the starting position, and Cazorla, the substitute in the midfield position, also played well in this position.
In the final part of the season, Harvey Martinez, a young player under the age of 16 in the Notts County Academy, was given the opportunity to play in practice, although he was young, but his performance was not bad, and he may not be able to play in the Premier League for Notts County, but in some inconsequential cup competitions, he can still get out and feel the atmosphere.
In this way, Notts County's midfield configuration is not weak, and instead of buying a substitute midfielder, it is better to give Cazorla more playing time!
And no matter how bad it is, even if Notts County are unlucky enough to miss out on two midfielders due to injury, they can still make up for it during the winter break.
David said his thoughts, Loew thought about it for a while, and admitted that David had his reasons, and finally the two agreed that the transfer of Notts County this summer has been completed, and they will not buy or sell people! (To be continued.) )
