Chapter 197: Transfer Progress
It's June, and all clubs are busy with transfer work and preparing for the new season.
It's the same with Millwall.
The transfer department of the club, no time is free, everyone is working hard, behind the transfer and signing of a player, is the result of the hard work of many people.
Gregory gave Zhang Yang full transfer power, but Zhang Yang gave half of the rights to Ebenezer and also gave most of the work to Ebenezer.
One is that he doesn't know anything about transfers, and the other is that he hasn't really looked at players.
If he doesn't have the memory of his previous life, Zhang Yang can't be qualified for the 'transfer job', because he won't know which player is better, let alone what 'suits his own tactical system', so far he has no concept of a tactical system, and he is not as good as an ordinary scout in terms of examining the player's ability.
If Millwall is rich enough to squander the players he wants, Zhang Yang will definitely work actively to buy the players he wants to get...... Unfortunately, this is not the case, and after working hard for a long time, you can only sign the cheapest player, and there is no point in meddling in the transfer work.
So Zhang Yang is not in a hurry at all.
Zhang Yang handed Ebenezer a list before, and it was written that there were players with 'names with impressions', so it was enough to bring in a few of them, plus the original main players, to form the main framework of the team together, and then sign free transfer players, young players, or loan players, etc., to supplement the depth of the bench.
After returning to London, Zhang Yang did not actively return to the club, but first bored at home for a few days, the long journey was exhausting, the past two weeks, just the time to fly was a headache, and there were too many experiences, making him feel like he was about to fall apart.
A long break is needed to recover now.
Zhang Yang rested for nearly three days in a row, during which the farthest place he went to was a restaurant a few hundred meters away, and the rest of the time he was stuffy in the room, either sleeping, or turning on the computer to take a casual look, and occasionally going downstairs to have dinner with John and drink two beers.
He didn't see Catherine.
"Catherine has been very busy lately, and she often lives in the company!"
John explained.
He nodded approvingly.
The new company has just been established, and with a workaholic like Denise at the helm, the employees are sure to be very busy, and Catherine is so busy that she doesn't go home shows that she is valued and has so much work.
"But...... It's so nice, you don't know how easy it was for me the other day! ”
John laughed.
If other people heard the father say this about his daughter, they would definitely think it was a joke or a face-saving face, but Zhang Yang knew that what John said was from his heart.
This guy really doesn't want to live with Catherine.
In fact, after Zhang Yang came back, he still found strange places, such as a pair of pink women's underwear on the drying rack, which didn't look like Catherine's no matter how big it looked.
Zhang Yang silently took a photo with his mobile phone, and asked carefully when Catherine came back.
"This old guy, is it a second spring? Or with which aunt next door, you have a story that you have to tell? Zhang Yang felt that he had the potential to become a detective.
While John was still chattering about how comfortable Catherine was not coming home and how comfortable his life was, the door was opened from the outside.
John suddenly shut his mouth.
A figure dressed as Catwoman walked in through the door, looking at John with anger on her face, obviously hearing a clue.
But this dress is ......
Zhang Yang and John both had big mouths, looked at Catherine who walked in in stunned, and suddenly made the same reaction.
"Hahaha......"
The two hugged their stomachs and laughed.
John's tears of laughter were about to come out, and he pointed to Catherine and asked, "What's going on?" Why is this dressed? ”
Zhang Yang felt that he shouldn't anger the violent woman, but he couldn't help laughing a few times before he couldn't help but comment, "It's beautiful!" It's tempting! ”
Then Zhang Yang walked over, looked up and down carefully, and said gently, "You know that I'm back, that's why you surprised me!?" ”
"Get out!"
Catherine scolded angrily and rushed to the second floor with a blushing face, "I'll go change my clothes!" ”
Zhang Yang turned around and saw John with a strange expression, only to realize that it didn't seem good to play with his daughter in John's reluctance.
"Ahem......"
Zhang Yang coughed several times in a row in embarrassment.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Catherine walked down in a home dress, and she quickly explained, "I just finished filming a short film, and I came back before I had time to change clothes." ”
Zhang Yang nodded in understanding.
Then Catherine sat on the sofa and kept asking about Zhang Yang's return to China and vacation, and she also asked in particular, "When you were on vacation, nothing happened, did you?" ”
Zhang Yang hurriedly denied, "No." ”
"I heard Andy."
"Huh?" Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and angrily scolded Andy for being a big mouth.
Catherine continued, "Andy said that he was very popular with the locals, especially those women who liked him, and every night there were women who offered to accompany him, what about you? Didn't find one in your local area? ”
“……”
Zhang Yang tugged at the corners of his mouth, but did not expose Andy's lies.
At this time, John ignored the two of them, and walked out of the room alone, probably going out for a walk, Zhang Yang smiled and put his mouth to Catherine's ear, and whispered, "I...... I haven't had my first ...... yet."
Catherine's eyes widened, and her cheeks flushed, but she was still surprised, "Really? ”
Zhang Yang nodded affirmatively.
Then Catherine's mood seemed to change a lot, and she began to talk about new jobs, such as Denise is very capable of working, and the content of the short film is very creative, for example, the company is recruiting editors, and she has become one of the leading actors in the short film, and so on.
Zhang Yang listened patiently.
He felt that his heart was too dark to deceive this kind girl.
"It must not be like this in the future!"
Zhang Yang made up his mind.

The next day, Zhang Yang got up early, ready to go to Millwall Club, and cared about the progress of the transfer.
When I arrived in the living room, I saw that Catherine was also preparing to go out, she was wearing a long skirt, sunglasses and a lady's round hat, dressed as a fashionista, completely different from the previous sports style.
"You've been getting more and more fashionable lately!"
Zhang Yang praised it.
Catherine chuckled when she saw Zhang Yang, then chatted about work issues for a few words, and prepared to go out together.
After walking out of the room, the two were about to separate, and Catherine suddenly said solemnly, "By the way, Zhang, I have something to tell you, but you must keep it secret." ”
"What's the matter?" Zhang Yang felt a little strange.
"That's it...... That's what you said yesterday. Catherine blushed as she spoke, and she lowered her head and mustered up courage for a long time before she whispered, "Actually, I'm just like you!" ”
As soon as Catherine finished speaking, she immediately ran away.
Zhang Yang looked at her back, stunned for a long time and didn't react, "What you said yesterday?" Same as me? ”
"No...... It won't be ......"
Zhang Yang thought of a possibility, and his eyes widened suddenly.
There weren't many things around him that could surprise him, but a beautiful woman in her twenties was still ...... Ahem, that's amazing!
This is England!
Zhang Yang didn't know why, after hearing Catherine's words, his mood became very happy, and when he arrived at the club, he greeted the staff warmly.
Then he found Ebenezer.
"Hi Eby, how is work going?" Zhang Yang asked jokingly.
Ebenezer saw Zhang Yang and immediately exhaled, "I'm about to die, but fortunately you're back!" Transfers are your job and you should take on most of them! ”
"So I'm back." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"Looks like you're having a good holiday." Ebenezer said, took out a document and handed it over, "You can take a look first, this is the information and transfer information of the club's newly signed players. ”
Zhang Yang took it and looked at it.
The transfer work of the club has been going on for about a month, and since there are no big transfers, the situation is not so complicated, and the work is progressing well.
In the past half month, five players have confirmed their arrival at Millwall.
On the list of players given by Zhang Yang, two players have completed the transfer, one is Wes Morgan, who plays for Nottingham Forest, for a transfer fee of 900,000 pounds, and the other is Alan Hutton, who plays for Glasgow Rangers, for a transfer fee of 700,000 pounds.
Both of these are defenders.
In Zhang Yang's memory, he has only heard the names of Wes Morgan and Alan Hutton, and specifically only has a little impression, these two players will probably not become big stars, but they can 'have an impression' in their memory, which means that they will at least become the main force of the top league team.
In the future, it will not be too bad to have the main level of the top league teams.
Looking at the transfer price, you can see that the two have already played a little famous, with a transfer fee of less than one million pounds, and the real stars are certainly not comparable, but the football of small clubs cannot be compared with the top teams, there are two people who have been added to the back line, and the main defender lineup should be no problem.
Next up are the club's signings to the squad: Gabiton and J Collins from Cardiff City.
Gabiton and J Collins are still both defenders, who were 'packaged' by Millwall for a total transfer fee of £480,000, and their arrival has made the back line more complete.
In addition to the four defenders, the club have also signed former Portsmouth first-choice goalkeeper Hislop.
That's a big deal......
