Chapter 619: Purge and Recruitment

Gao Bo's arrival at Manchester City seems to have sparked a prelude to the Premier League's summer transfers.

In the next few days, there were teams announcing the news of reinforcements.

Of course, the big clubs are still on the move, including Manchester City.

However, Gao Bo knows that Manchester City now has a big recruitment - that is, 150 million to bring in Griezmann, which is the recruitment that Manchester City was promoting before he joined Manchester City, Atletico Madrid has agreed to Manchester City's offer, and now it is the stage of negotiating personal treatment between Manchester City and the player. After Gao Bo came to Manchester City, the transfer negotiations between Manchester City and Griezmann were immediately accelerated!

Antoine Griezmann, who was still somewhat resistant, immediately agreed to almost all of City's conditions, and now awaits the announcement of his signing.

And for Gao Bo, his vacation is almost in vain.

After Manchester City's press conference, he first returned to China, spent a week filming this year's commercial events, commercials and everything, and then immediately returned to England.

He still has a lot of things to do.

First of all... It's the Great Purge!

Manchester City has bought too many people over the years, and most of them are players who are not needed and have high salaries, so Gao Bo plans to make a list of the team's cleansers first.

In addition, there is also the team's reinforcements, which must be dealt with in a hurry.

After Antoine Griezmann, some of the previous Manchester City signings were halted by Gao Bo, and he had to bring in players according to the needs of the team, rather than buying whoever was big.

Gao Bo is actually quite familiar with these players at Manchester City, and they are basically some successful stars who have gone elsewhere.

However, Gao Bo did not judge a certain player for "death" because of the impression in his mind!

He still has to look at the video footage of Manchester City's games in recent seasons before he can finally screen out the list, who can stay and who can't.

Of course, in addition to the game footage, his impressions of English football and certain players are also one of the bases for making judgments.

To be honest, for Gao Bo, this is a player in Manchester City's squad that can make him decide to stay..... Not much.

Most of the players will face being purged or will not be able to get a main position if they stay.

He made a list of players whose names he had written out were the ones he had to keep.

When Soriano saw the form, he was shocked.

Kompany, Kolarov, Dawei Silva........

"It's... Don't you have to clean all of this?!!"

Soriano's hands trembled with fright.

Although Gao Bo has a lot of power, he can't let him....

"It's not!"

Gao Bo replied.

Soriano breathed a sigh of relief, but the next words of Gao Bo succeeded in suffocating him.

"Except for the players on this list, all the other players can be sold!"

Soriano's head thumped..... That's almost selling more than half of City's players.

Gao Bo saw that Soriano's face was pale, and it was difficult to continue to tease the helmsman of Manchester City.

"These players have to stay, they are not for sale, and other players can be considered if they have an offer, and they don't have to be sold all!"

As soon as Gao Bo explained this, Soriano understood.

Most of the players on the list are the main players of the team, but after looking at it for a while, Soriano frowned again.

Because in it, he saw one or two names that were not too familiar, and at the same time.... There are also a few names that seem to be absolutely indispensable to Manchester City.

The unfamiliar name is Trippier!

"Trippier?"

Soriano was clearly unfamiliar with the name.

'Yes, he's an Academy product for Manchester City and I'm optimistic about him at right wing-back!!'

Gao Bo said.

Gobo's influence on Kieran Trippier is because he is impressed by his future performances at Tottenham.

This is a defender with a lot of potential, who can play on both the left and right, but Gao Bo still intends to let him play on the right.

Because on the left, Gao Bo is ready for Kolarov to play.

In terms of quality, Kieran Trippier is certainly not one of the best right-backs in the world – there is still a gap between him and Juanfran, let alone Carvajal in his maturity.

But after all, this is the Premier League, and the Premier League has a hukou policy.

The rules imposed from the 2010-2011 season have limited the club's first-team squad to 25 players, with at least eight players who meet the 'homegrown development' rules. 'Home development' does not require UK nationality, but requires players aged 15-21 (before the age of 21) to spend three years (or a total of 36 months) in an English or Welsh club.

Eight home-grown first-team squad players, which is undoubtedly a constraint on Manchester City's strength, and this is why the Premier League's "household registration book" is so expensive.

Therefore, a homegrown right-back who can be used, it is still very good for the team to stay.

Soriano is very confident in Gao Bo's vision, since Gao Bo said that Trippier is a good player, then Trippier is really a good player.

But he has a second doubt, and that is... Hart and Yaya Toure are missing from this list, which means that Hart and Yaya Toure are also dispensable in Gobo's plan.

After all, these two players are the team's heavyweights, so Soriano still raised doubts.

Gao Bo explained.

"Hart's goal-line skills are good, but... He's so rough on his feet that I'm asking for a goalkeeper who can be involved in the overall tactical system, including being able to play with defenders and play with defenders, which Hart struggles to do. ”

"That's... Yaya Toure? ”

"He's good, if he can play as a substitute with peace of mind, he can stay!"

Gao Bo is now quite decisive.

He naturally doesn't have any personal grudges with Yaya Toure, he is physically strong, his skills are also excellent, and he has a long-range shot, which can be described as an all-round midfielder. But Gao Bo doesn't like Yaya Toure's "all-round midfielder" who is too sticky, because if you want to play Yaya Toure's strength, the whole team has to play around him. In this way, the team's ceiling depends on Yaya Toure's ceiling.

In terms of ability alone, Yaya Toure is good.

But whether a team can succeed or not, it is not enough to look at ability, but also to look at mentality, which is often said to be "the belief of a champion!" ”

Gao Bo doesn't think Yaya Toure is a player who will be willing to fight for himself in the face of adversity, and the tactics around Yaya Toure are easy for opponents to find a way to restrain them - if Yaya Toure is restricted, then he will be blind.

This kind of tactic Gao Bo will not work, and in this way, he will have to give up Yaya Toure....

And it turns out that Yaya Toure's ceiling is really not high. Of course, if Yaya Toure doesn't fight for the core, sticks less to the ball, and serves the team as a whole, he is still a pretty good player.

Soriano has a bit of a headache, but as the CEO, it's impossible for him to veto the manager's opinion.

Anyway, all he has to do is come up with a goal, and Gao Bo matches his team according to the goal.

Soriano is a professional manager, and he knows that there is a reason for specialization in the art industry, so he has no objection to this list.

There are so many people that need to be cleaned up, and the number of reinforcements this season should be huge.

Sure enough, Gao Bo took out another list.

"This is the priority list!"
