It wasn't until the Aston Villa team took off from Hong Kong and returned to Birmingham that the Aston Villa Club officially announced on its official website:

Aston Villa have reached an agreement with a club in Shanghai to officially sign 21-year-old Chinese player Wen Lei for a transfer fee of 1 million euros, and Aston Villa welcomed the young Chinese attacking player to join.

The news immediately detonated the domestic sports media.

For a long time, domestic public opinion has been discussing, or it can be said to ask (complain), Aston Villa has Shinji Kagawa in the team, and since there are Japanese players, when will they be able to sign a Chinese player.

A Chinese-funded team, the owner is Chinese, the head coach is Chinese, there are no Chinese players, this is a little inappropriate, right?

Complaining is complaining, but the sane media and fans are still sober, and the level of domestic players is far from what Aston Villa requires.

Therefore, these discussions are more likely to be complaining.

At this time, Aston Villa suddenly, arguably without warning, announced the signing of Wenli, which really shocked many people.

The media was excited.

They all want to interview the senior management of Aston Villa for the first time, especially Fang Jue.

Then I realized that Fang Jue and Aston Villa had finished their trip to Asia and returned to Birmingham.

This left reporters complaining about why Aston Villa didn't announce the news sooner.

Most reporters don't have the opportunity to go to Birmingham to cover the news, and that's when the size and funding of the big media outlets are there, and they either send special correspondents to the UK or hire local correspondents in the UK as so-called 'special correspondents' to follow up on the big news.

……

After returning to Birmingham from Hong Kong, Fang Jue gave the team a day off.

The new Premier League season starts in ten days, and according to the schedule of the new season, Aston Villa's opponent in the first round of the new season is promoted Massiham United.

However, in four days' time, Aston Villa will have their first competitive game of the new season.

As last season's Premier League champions, they will face last season's FA Cup winners Chelsea in the Community Shield.

The players are on holiday and Aston Villa have not stopped in the transfer market.

Aston Villa hired an English teacher for Wen Lei to learn English.

At the same time, he was temporarily admitted to the players' dormitory.

As for the future of Wenlei, Fang Jue has two ideas, one is to arrange for Wenlei to play in Aston Villa's U23 team and reserve team, and the other is to loan Wenlei out, most likely to play in Belgium or Portugal's second division to gain game experience.

As for which one to choose, Fang Jue has not yet made a final decision.

……

At this time, Aston Villa's transfer deal to bring in young South Korean international Son Heung-min was close to completion.

The player himself is naturally willing to come to Aston Villa, which can be said to be overjoyed.

Coupled with the efforts of the Korean Football Association and South Korean companies behind the scenes, the Hamburg team that Son Heung-min is playing for now cannot retain people.

According to the latest player value of the German transfer, the 20-year-old Son Heung-min is worth about 4.5 million euros.

Aston Villa also did not undercut the price, directly quoting 6.5 million euros.

Of the 6.5 million euros, 2 million euros were sponsored by Korean companies.

The Hamburg team accepted the offer.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Aston Villa's willingness to loan Son Heung-min back to Hamburg for a season.

On August 9, Aston Villa officially announced that the team signed 20-year-old South Korean young international Son Heung-min from Bundesliga team Hamburg for a transfer fee of 6.5 million euros (about 5.1 million pounds), and the two sides signed a five-year contract with a sixth year of first refusal.

At the same time, Aston Villa's official website announced that the club has loaned Son Heung-min to Hamburg for a season for 500,000 euros.

……

After this transfer deal came out, the South Korean side was naturally cheering, anyway, Smecta also has someone to play for Aston Villa, and he can't let the footbasin man specialize in the front.

Public opinion on the Japanese side is sarcastic, they feel that Aston Villa's signing of Son Heung-min is not because of competitive factors at all, but to develop the Korean market.

One is that he was loaned out immediately after signing, and the other is that he can get a lot of playing opportunities at Aston Villa, and Son Heung-min and Shinji Kagawa can't compare at all.

South Koreans are not happy, and they say that Fang Jue attaches great importance to Son Heung-min: the sixth-year right of first refusal in the contract is an example.

Japanese media and fans have said: Hehe.

When the Japanese media, fans and South Korean media and fans quarreled, the domestic fans remained silent, although Wen Lei had just joined Aston Villa, but everyone knew very well the gap between Wen Lei and these two...... It's better to be silent, the right is to save character.

……

Ferguson was annoyed and petty, and was reluctant to let Kuszchak come to Aston Villa.

Fang Jue must bring in another No.2 goalkeeper in the transfer market.

In the end, Aston Villa chose to sign veteran Italian goalkeeper Cudicini, whose contract with Tottenham Hotspur expired.

The Italian veteran is thirty-eight years old, but he is still in good shape, and Cudinic does not need a transfer fee, and the salary is relatively low, as a second goalkeeper on the bench, he is still competent.

For Cudicini himself, the veteran goalkeeper has played in the Premier League for so many years, and he is not willing to go to other league environments to make a living, if he can stay in the Premier League, it is naturally the best.

And Aston Villa's strength is obvious to all, joining Aston Villa, it is likely that he will mix a few championship trophies in the twilight of his career, isn't it beautiful.

In addition, the team's young centre-back Nathan Baker was also loaned out by Aston Villa, and Fang Jue loaned the youngster to Wolves in the Championship.

For the players produced by the team's youth training, Fang Jue will not easily clean and give up, or willing to give more opportunities to young people, for a team, the players trained by their youth training can become talents, and continue to transfuse blood to the first team, which is the most benign development, and can also win greater support from fans.

Another academy-produced young centre-back, Sillen. Clarke, Fang Jue is staying in the team, and he hopes to play in Nesta and Thiago. By Silva's side, this lad can open his mind and make progress.

If in Thiago. Under the teaching of the three teachers, Silva and the Brazilian's master Nesta, as well as Senderos, who was rescued by Fang Jue and reborn, have not yet been able to become successful, and Fang Jue can only completely give up on this young player.
