Chapter 4: A New Season

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you!

Leeds United did not make any waves in the transfer market, and they also chose to play away from home in the warm-up game, and did not report too much, as if a team had not gone through changes such as ownership, coach change, and reinforcements in the summer, but other competitors did not plan to let Leeds United go!

The first to shoot was the "Blues" Chelsea, which experienced Mourinho, Stewart? Pierce, Frank? De Boer's three coaches have not been able to win the championship in charge, and now it has reached the Scotsman Paul? Rampote, but last season only finished fifth in the league, this season want to do a big job of the "Blues" took advantage of the Leeds United turmoil to Nelson? Oliveira, Phil? Jones made a move.

Originally, Nelson? Oliveira feels like he has no place because of Shaq's return, everyone knows that Shaq has not been injured for 12 years, this guy's body is a pervert, and his luck is really good, the striker who is a substitute for Shaq is the saddest, coupled with Chelsea's high salary, the Portuguese found Simon? Grayson, speak your mind.

Simon? Grayson could only agree with a wry smile, he is the person who knows Shaq best, although Shaq's physical condition is not as good as in previous years, but when he was in Barcelona last season, Shaq still played 52 games and scored 90 goals, which is still in Simon? Grayson deliberately controls the stats, and if he wants, Shaq can still play all the games of the season.

Facing Nielsen? Oliveira, Simon? Grayson also felt helpless, because Shack was pushed to the forward position and Tevez at the peak formed a terrifying forward combination, and as a result, Nelson, who was the team's future forward reserve? Oliveira played a measifully small number of games for the team in those two years.

Right now...... Just let him go!

Anyway, it cost Leeds United 9.5 million pounds to buy the Portuguese striker, and now the 32-year-old Nelson? Oliveira can still get £6 million back from Chelsea for Leeds United!

Except for Nielsen? In addition to Oliveira, the "Blues" also fancy Phil? Jones. The 31-year-old England national team's main centre-back has a simple reason to go...... Wages!

To get Phil? Jones, Chelsea have offered a £5.75 million annual salary and a three-year contract, which is really too tempting for a 31-year-old player.

And Simon? Grayson also felt that his resistance to money had decreased, and the "Blues' offer of £16.75 million made the "Cruel Simon" heartbroken, and the transfer deal was finally completed.

Leeds United have no shortage of money in their transfer funds, with £80 million. Can Simon? Grayson knows very well where the money came from, it is all his most proud disciple Shakexin has worked hard to transfer, and before he meets the kind of player who must be bought, "Cruel Simon" still doesn't want to use it.

So, Simon? Naturally, Grayson can only rely on repatriating funds from the transfer market to complete the accumulation of capital.

Good thing Simon? When Grayson was scouting Gremio, Anderlecht and other affiliated clubs, he found a talented Brazilian defender in Gremio, 22-year-old Marcio, a young player with very good physical conditions and good heading skills and anticipation. With a little carving, it can become an excellent iron gate.

It's just that Gremio's side is biting the price to death, and 7 million pounds can't be less, Simon? Grayson also put the transfer deal on hold for the time being, and Du Xiaoguang and Marcio are the ideal center-back combination in his heart.

Time into mid-August, a Simon? Grayson didn't want to complete the deal but it was done, and the 60-year-old manager of the "Gunners" Arsenal, Jose Mourinho, also completed the poaching with 16.75 million pounds. Vrsarico switched to his own team.

This transfer. Simon? Grayson didn't want to finish it, but the player's personal wishes decided!

31-year-old prunes? Vrsarico has been with Leeds United for eleven years. Over the years, no matter who the Leeds United manager was, he has been firmly in the right-back position, and has done a very good job of attacking and defending the right side of the "Young Guard", but as he has grown older, Vrsarico has also matured, and this time when the "Gunners" came to poach the corner. After thinking about it, he decided to give up his good desire to play with his old brother and win a high salary for himself and a huge transfer fee for Leeds United, which is a win-win result no matter how you look at it.

What's more, at the time of the warm-up game. Prunes? Vrsarico noticed Chen Jinlong's performance, this Spanish-Chinese youth performed very calmly on the field, and has excellent offensive and defensive ability, much better than himself back then, plus German right-back Tobias, Leeds United will not have much loss if he leaves him, but staying by himself will hinder the development of young people, so ...... Just leave.

Prunes? Vrsarico's mind, Simon? Grayson understands it, and so does the Leeds United players, so didn't his departure be treated like Phil by the players? Jones's contempt makes people feel a little sad.

Shaq did go with Simon? Grayson talked, only to be called back with a few words......

"Shaq, I don't want to let go of Prune either, but Prune chose to leave for the good of the team, you think about it...... Does Chan want to get a chance to play? Does the club want to renew its funds? Can you bear to see prunes not getting paid well in Leeds? So let the prunes go! ”

Simon? As soon as Grayson said a few words, Shaq reluctantly left, he is the real owner of the team, but he doesn't know how to run a football club, and he thinks more from the perspective of a player, and this is obviously not good, he can pay for a prune out of his own pocket? Vrsaricko, but he can't feed a team out of his own pocket, and the future development of the "Young Guard" still depends on itself.

In the summer transfer market, Leeds United under the command of "Brutal Simon" has made a profit, and after spending 27 million pounds to buy Du Xiaoguang, Chen Jinlong, Belakta, Ksloff, Diaz and others, by selling Phil? Jones, Nielsen? Oliveira, prunes? With three veterans in his thirties and 22-year-old centre-back Nick in the reserves, Leeds United have recovered a whopping £43.5 million from the transfer market.

In fact, regardless of Phil? Jones or prunes? Vrsariko is no longer worth the high price, but the rivals in the Premier League have a tacit understanding that they must snipe Simon at all costs? Grayson, who paid a high price to poach people, leaving a broken new line of defense for "Brutal Simon".

The horror of the combination of Shaq and "Brutal Simon" is already well known, and if you don't want the "Young Guard" to cause trouble for everyone in the new season, you have to work together.

With prunes? With Vrsariko as an example, some of the older players who felt they would add a burden to the team were moved, and within two days, rumours of a transfer of Swedish winger Pivkovski were rampant.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and others have all linked up with the 29-year-old Swedish star, and it seems that every club wants to buy the Swedish big man with excellent skills at his feet.

Simon? Grayson didn't care at first, but when several offers were sent to his desk in no particular order, he really couldn't sit still, when Leeds United bought Pifkowski from Blackburn, it was he who did it, it cost Leeds United 3.5 million pounds at the time, and now each offer is the lowest 8.5 million pounds, and Manchester City has given a price of 9 million pounds.

Don't...... Is Pivkowski just there to help the team?

Simon? Grayson sighed in his heart, believing that the first Sime had really chosen to leave for the benefit of the club, but Pivkowski ...... Definitely not!

Leeds United is not short of people at right-back, and there is even Chen Jinlong, a very potential rookie. The departure of Vrsariko really gives the newcomers a chance and really brings a financial return to the club, but if Pivkowski leaves, Leeds United will be stretched thin in the winger position, not counting the 32-year-old captain Jonny? In the case of Hausen, Leeds United only have German star Frank? Murray is a qualified winger, 16-year-old Alex? Lens is so young that the team even needs Ben? Parker or Chris? Farley had to go to the front.

But since Pivkowski is leaving under the banner of thinking about the interests of the team, Simon? Grayson felt that even if he stayed, this kid might not necessarily be loyal to the team, so he finally chose to let go, but "Brutal Simon" still beat the rest of the team in front of Pivkowski, publicly explaining the current situation of the team's lack of personnel, if it is really for the interests of the team, you must stick to your position for the stability of the team.

Simon? Grayson's words made some people think for a long time, and also made Pivkovsky blush.

In the end, the Swedish star chose to go to Paris Saint-Germain and left the English Premier League directly, and he will not have many opportunities to meet Leeds United in the future.

Pivkovsky's departure, so that Simon? Grayson is getting more and more nervous in the arrangement, the team's midfield is not lacking, but the front field is a bit insufficient, but now we need to hurry up and prepare for the first game of the new season, the first round of Leeds United will collide with the "Blue Moon" Manchester City, although the lineup of last season's league is not as luxurious as in previous years, but it is still much stronger than the current Leeds United.

The new season started with a strong opponent, Simon? Grayson really didn't dare to be a little careless, if he lost this game, the blow to the team's morale and confidence would be really too big. (To be continued......)
