Chapter 54: The Round Table (II)
At this time, Chen Zhun took out the list that had been in his pocket for a long time and gave it to the two right-hand men. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"David! Do you want to buy all the players on these lists? That's a big move! Arneson also took a deep breath after reading the list.
"Yes! Frank, but I'm afraid I'll have to add a few more people after reading the new scouting report. ”
Arneson admired Chen Zhun's decisiveness and boldness in his heart, and said, "Say, what can I do!" ”
"Rejoice! Tomorrow I'm going to start applying for some of the players' clubs, and if they are successful, you'll be in charge of negotiating contracts with players and agents, and to be honest, I'm not good at youth contracts. You're an expert at it, and it's all up to you. Frank. ”
"No problem! David! But are you sure they can all come to Southampton, it's going to cost a lot of money, and even if they do, a lot of people are going to have to leave the squad right now. This can be very demoralizing and balancing. Rebuilding the team in the winter is very risky. Arneson was still very worried about Chen Zhun doing this, so he reminded Chen Zhun.
'I'll ask the chairman and I can now assure you that these players will come to Southampton, it's just a matter of time. But some of them I'm going to go out on loan and continue to work on them and come back when I think he's ready to play in the Premier League. These players represent the future of Southampton. Of course, I will sell some players in the winter transfer period to cover the transfer fee of buying these players. I'm not going to tear down the current workhorse, I don't like digging holes for myself, Frank! ”
"Good roundabout strategy. Then I can rest assured, tomorrow you will be busy! David! "Arneson, who has been in European football for more than a decade, is not surprised by the strength of such transfers, most of the players are used as bargaining chips by the manager in exchange for the soldiers of the iron club, this is professional football.
"But, David, why did you only choose the 24-year-old Dirk on this list, Klaas and Wesley are hailed as the future hopes of the Netherlands, and I watched live, and they do have the quality."
Chen Zhun thought back to the performance of Huntelaar and Sneijder in their previous lives, shook his head and said: "They don't meet my requirements, I want players with strong running ability and team spirit, and it is impossible for these players with the light of genius to accept such football." ”
Arneson heard Chen Zhun's explanation, nodded and didn't speak.
Rudick saw that the two of them were talking back and forth, and suddenly felt that he was air, and hurriedly said: "David, what about me, what can I do for you?" ”
"Haha, our big scout is red!! Rod! You've got a lot of work to do, and you know I'm going to have a lot of inexperience when I bring in so many young players, so you have to have old players in the squad. I'll be honest with you, I'm not happy with more than half of the Southampton squad at the moment, and I'm ready to tear down and rebuild Southampton step by step. So Rod, your task is to find capable players in Europe's top leagues who are on the bench at club level or who are at the end of their professional years. I need to pick another group of players from here to make up for the lack of experience that comes with the young players, and then I have a few days off to look for them, and there is still plenty of time. ”
Rudick and Arneson were even more surprised when they heard Chen Zhun's words, it turned out that Chen Zhun also had such a grand and adventurous plan, he wanted to tear down the Southampton team and rebuild, which is not a general manager can think of attention. It seems that this plan has been brewing in Chen Zhun's heart for a long time, and now he has the confidence to make it public. Rudick and Arneson are also adventurous people, and they are happy to work with Chen Zhun on this project.
"Yes, I'll be happy to serve you, Mr. David!" Rudick said with a bit of a yin and yang weirdness.
The three of them burst into laughter.
The next day, the team officially returned to training, and because Chen Zhun was unable to play in the next game against West Bromwich Albion, he had time to explain all the training to Reid, and he went to the chairman Rupert Lowe.
Chen Zhun knocked politely on the door, and a familiar voice came from inside.
Chen Zhun saw Rupert Lowe sitting in a familiar large swivel chair signing documents. He greeted Chen Zhun without looking up.
Chen Zhun didn't restrain himself too much, and sat on the chair as usual.
At this time, Rupert Lowe had also finished his work, looked up at Chen Zhun, and said, "David, is there anything to do with me?" ”
"Transfers!" Chen Zhun didn't beat around the bush and said directly.
Rupert Lowe frowned, thinking to himself that Southampton Club has been in a state of loss recently, and the winter transfer fee is not much for the club, how to refuse David Winston.
Chen Zhun has been here for a long time, he has already practiced the ability to observe words and feelings, and he can now guess what Rupert Lowe is thinking, so he took out the list of players he had rearranged in the evening. Four new players have been added to the existing 23 players.
Rupert Rowe received the list handed over by Chen Zhun and took a closer look, except for those players in England who were familiar, Rupert Rowe didn't know any other players.
"David, are you going to bring them all in? Southampton FC would not have the financial resources to handle such a transfer offer. Rupert Lowe's voice revealed an irresistible meaning, and he hoped that Chen Zhun would dispel this crazy thought.
"Mr. President, I'm not bringing in all these players in a single period, I'm going to bring in some of the easiest players first, and then I'm going to break down the rest of the players in the winter transfer window. I'm just giving you a look at it now and hopefully Mr Chairman will give me £4 million now and I won't ask for any more transfer fees for the winter transfer window. Now, as far as I know, there should be a club offering you James Beatty. ”
Rupert Lowe was shocked when he heard this: "How did he know that there was a club offer for James Beatty. "Everton made a transfer offer for James Beatty two days ago for £6 million, but it was flatly rejected by Rupert Lowe.
Rupert Rowe thought about it again, the 4 million pounds that Chen Zhun asked for, a small amount, can still survive the winter transfer period, why not, Rupert Rowe decided to agree to Chen Zhun's request.
Rupert Lowe continued: "Okay, David, I agree to your request to give you £4 million, but I won't give you a penny in the winter transfer window. ”
Chen Zhun nodded: "Okay, Mr. President, by the way, Mr. President, if any club wants to bring in our players in the future, I hope to tell me that I am the head coach and I want to decide their fate." ”
Rupert Rowe didn't speak, just nodded. Rupert Lowe is becoming more and more unfamiliar with this David Winston.
Chen Zhun walked out of the chairman's office and called Arneson and asked him to come to his office to prepare a transfer offer to the players in the first list.
