The negotiations with Sun Jihai went well. Compared with Xu Ming, Sun Jihai is in England and knows Blackburn better than any of them.

In England though only half a year, and in League One. But Sun Jihai has a lot of interest in the English league, and he has a strong interest in Blackburn. Therefore, after hearing that Blackburn was interested in him, there was almost no hesitation.

When Richard negotiated with Xu Hongtao, George had already left Dalian.

George came to Dalian just to negotiate with Xu Ming, as long as he talks about Sun Jihai, the rest of the matter is none of George's business. George is a coach, no matter how big the Chinese market is, it is not of any use to George.

George fancied Sun Jihai because of his strength and his all-round ability in the midfield. A team needs an all-round player like Sun Jihai, so that when the team has injuries and needs to rotate, he can be at ease.

With George, it's not just right-back that doesn't need to add other players. The midfield and backfield have a jack-of-all-trades.

At this time, George had already come to Sichuan and was leading Miranda to Jiuzhaigou.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here." Miranda saw Jiuzhaigou hidden in the verdant shade, and sincerely admired.

George looked at Miranda with joy and laughed too. George didn't have many opportunities to travel in his previous life, so the beautiful scenery of Sichuan was also seen for the first time. In particular, Jiuzhaigou, a legendary national 5A-level scenic spot, is indeed worthy of its name.

George was busy playing, but Richard was busy with his feet on the ground.

Richard's transfer department, at this time, is the busiest. They don't usually have much to do, and when it comes to summer transfers and winter transfers, it's when they're busiest. George gave them instructions as he played.

This season, George will have to further purge the useless substitutes and buy the rest.

George is very happy with Blackburn's transfer department, which would have been the case at Burnley. But not now.

After spending more than a week in Sichuan, George and Miranda arrived in Guilin, Guangxi. But before he could start playing, he received a call from Richard.

"George, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to listen to? ”

Richard, who has always been steady, actually joked with George, and George laughed too. "I'll hear the good news first."

"Henning. Berg has agreed to return to Blackburn, and Ferguson has agreed. ”

"That's good news." George nodded.

Although Hendry is not yet fully retired this season, he stayed at Blackburn Rovers as a player/coach. But George knows that Hendry shouldn't have many opportunities to play this season, and it's more about helping George stabilize the dressing room.

However, Blackburn Rovers are still relatively young at the back, with only Van Bronckhorst having the most experience. Hyypia, on the other hand, has been training in the Eredivisie for many years, but this is only his second season in the Premier League.

The others, including Gala, Sagnol, Zauri, and Sun Jihai, are all quite young. The most important thing in the backline is experience, so after Hendry, the veteran captain, George wants to have more experience.

So George thought about Henning, who moved to Manchester United. Berg, Berg is a Blackburn veteran. When Blackburn won the Premier League, Berg was at the heart of the back. Two years ago, Berg moved to Manchester United for £5 million.

Berg's performance at Manchester United in the past two years has been okay, but because of Johnson and Stam, Berg can only be a substitute. That's why George thought of re-buying the Blackburn Rovers player.

Berg actually turned 30 this year, or 30 at the start of the season. Still in the prime of being a defender.

"How much?"

"Three million pounds." George nodded, and bought Henning for three million pounds. An experienced veteran like Berg is indeed a good deal. When you go back, you should thank Ferguson.

"Then the bad news is ......"

'Hamann has signed a contract with Liverpool.

George frowned. I admire Hamann George, a player who has the best qualities of all German players. What's more, Hamann is a player who has seen the world.

Although Hamann is only 26 years old now, he has won the Bundesliga, the German Cup and the UEFA Cup with Bayern Munich. There is no player at Blackburn Rovers who can match Hamann's experience.

In terms of championship experience, who can compare to Haman.

Only the former Blackburn Rovers have won the Premier League, while Klose has won the League Cup and FA Cup. But these are completely inexperienced compared to Harman.

Now that Blake are going to play in the League Cup, they need players with such experience and championship experience. So George thought of Hamann at Newcastle United.

"How much money Liverpool has paid, we should say that it is not bad money." George has £20 million in transfer fees this season, and some of the other players won't spend a lot of money. Sun Jihai is less than a million, Henning. Berg was only three million.

Hamann is George's biggest signing this season, and there is no problem at all to spending £10 million.

"George, we've been exposed to Harman. And we're really not short of money. But Hamann said he wanted to go to Liverpool, where he said there were more opportunities for development. Richard sighed and replied with a wry smile.

Mom's, Richard didn't say it directly, though. But George already understood that Harman didn't look down on Blackburn.

Although Blackburn had a good record last season and could play in the League Cup, they are not as good as Liverpool in seventh place in the Premier League in the eyes of Hamann.

"Forget it, since people don't look down on us Blackburn, we don't have to force it." Harman is the biggest thing George has thought about this season.

Now in the middle of Blackburn, Makelele, Deco, and Miku are good. But there was a complete lack of experience, which is why Harman came to mind. It's a pity!

'Forget about Hamann, I'm thinking about the other players.'

Not so good news indeed. But George was able to understand. If George were Harman, he would have chosen it that way. After all, Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers are not at the same level at all. Even ten years later, Liverpool's results are getting worse, but no one can ignore Liverpool when it comes to England's giants. That's what Liverpool is all about.

"George, I'm not done yet. There's also bad news. A deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

George was shocked, could there be more depressing news than Harman's matter.

"Juan's labor certification application was denied. The FA said Juan was not eligible to apply for a labor certification. Richard was angry about this.

Although there are some hard and fast rules for labor certification applications, it does not mean that everything must be reviewed according to the conditions. For example, some players' application conditions do not meet the requirements in some aspects, but the club is strong enough to be able to approve it smoothly.

And there are some small clubs, their PR skills are not as good as the big clubs. Then even if you are just a little closer, you will not get a labor certification.

Richard was a little frustrated right now. It's a matter of Blackburn's PR capabilities.

"What!" George, who had been sitting on the phone, stood up in surprise. Even Hamann's signing with Liverpool didn't make George so angry.

George is buying Juan. When Sorin, he knew about his national team appearances. Although Sorin was not able to participate in the World Cup in '98, Sorin has been a main player in the new Argentine national team since the World Cup.

Therefore, George believes that based on Sorrin's performance in the past year after the World Cup, applying for a labor certification should be more than enough.

I really didn't expect that Sorrin's labor certificate could still have problems.

Sorin is a player that George admires a lot, but in fact, Sorin is not the best full-back when it comes to defense. But Thorin's strongest thing is his ability to run without getting tired, and Sorin runs almost from the beginning to the end of a match, and he doesn't feel tired at all.

Sorrin's ability to run, which never tires, was George's favorite.

Especially later in the submarine, although Riquelme was the heart of the midfield. But Sarin is definitely the engine in the submarine. Tireless running, driving the attack of the submarine.

On top of that, Sorin is an all-round player, just like Sun Jihai. can go up and down, even if it is a back, the strength is absolutely first-class. This season, for the League Cup, George is out of the way.

Despite his defeat at Juventus, George is not at all worried about Sorrin's strength.

However, such a player who was already in George's new season planning was rejected by the FA on the grounds of labor certification.

FA, you bastards. If there is a national team football association in the world that is as annoying as the Chinese Football Association, then this football association must be the English Football Association.

The English Football Association is procrastinating, and the officials of the English Football Association are as conservative and sluggish as the officials of the Chinese Football Association.

What a bullshit labor certification, this garbage labor certification doesn't know how many good players to reject.

"Richard, can you think of another way."

"George, it's harder. But we'll appeal and see if there's a turnaround. "Richard was frustrated that there was basically no turning point for this appeal. It is a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

George spun around twice in place.

"That's it, Richard. You wait for me, and I will soon be back in England. ”

George's good mood was ruined by Richard's two bad news in a row. Hamann, who had high hopes for him, was robbed by Liverpool, and Sorin, who is now in his new season plan, was rejected by the FA.

How could there be any good mood, almost made George grit his teeth.

Neither player can be transferred, so George will have to think about the other players. This season's transfer has been really problematic.
