George picked up the list and looked at it.

For his youth team, although George is not as familiar with the first team, most of the important players are still familiar.

The players that Karl has handed over to him now are some of the best players in the youth team.

'George, Damien's kind of player we won't find for a while. But I don't think we're at the point where we can't leave Damien. Damien is important, but in terms of the team, I think Anderson was more important than him last season. ”

George nodded, agreeing with Blanco's words.

Duff is strong. But if George were asked to choose between Duff and Deco, George would definitely choose Deco.

Because a midfield conductor is far more important than a wide attacker.

Seeing George's words of approval, Blanco continued: "We still have Frank. Frank is still young, but he has unlimited potential. As long as you exercise well, your ability will definitely not be lower than Damien's in a year or two. ”

George knew what Blanco meant was that even if Ribery couldn't replace Duff perfectly for a while, he would be able to replace Duff in between one or two seasons.

"We still have Yang! He's a genius and he can play for the first team as long as he has a bit of a workout. And now he's going to be 17 years old and ready to be in the first team if he needs to. Carl added Blanco's words to the side.

Carl is talking about Yang Feng. He is about to be seventeen years old, even if he can't play the main force. But you can also come over and play as a substitute.

Arsenal, Arsene Wenger has seventeen or eighteen years old as a first-team substitute every year.

George nodded. With Ribery and Yang Feng, although they are both young and messy. But as a substitute, it is still qualified. Usually let them play in the youth team, in the reserve team, and when they need to be substituted, they can come over and play in the first team.

'There's also the left-back problem. James is one of the best defenders in our Blackburn Academy. Although he is young, he can play both in the middle and on the left, and he is a versatile player. ”

What Carl said was that the young defender James, who is only eighteen years old this year, is talking about it. Macedneveri. This is a young player cultivated by Blackburn himself, although he is not as famous as Ribery and Yang Feng in the youth team. But he is a very useful defender.

Many of Blackburn's coaches are very optimistic about Macedeville.

Also recommended for the first team. George watched Macedeverly's game. This is a player who is fast, has good body, and has a very good header and tackle. But if there's one downside, it's that there's a bit of a problem at centre-back.

Of course, this has something to do with Macchefelli's youth.

"Yes. Frank and James are all in the first team. If we can get Young to come to the first team, but even then we still need to buy players. ”

Especially in the backline, there is still a need to continue to replenish players.

'We've brought in some young players this time. Preferably some homegrown English players. You look for some young players in League One clubs. Of course, there are also English national teams at all levels, and look for them. ”

………… Blackburn now has a wide range of departments.

When George gave the assignment, it didn't take long for a list of young players who were in line with George's idea to come to George's desk. There are also clips of their games, and even the scouts' explanations of the technical characteristics of these players, as well as their assessment of their future.

The list is long. There were seventeen of them. This also made George understand that there are still many young talents emerging in England at present. Although many people will soon fall, there are still new stars popping up all the time.

George began to analyze the characteristics of these players.

George was looking for a player who would fit Blackburn's characteristics.

Soon George found someone. This person is a bit famous even in the future English football world. Although it can't be compared to the English defenders such as Terry and Ferdinand, he is also a pretty good player.

Anyway, what George needs now is a substitute.

There were a few people who were able to find a place in the middle of Campbell and Lucio. And it's nice to be able to be a substitute for them.

That man is Joe Leon. Lescott.

It was Lescott, who later transferred to Manchester City at a sky-high price.

Lescott is now an England Under-20 international. Playing for Wolves in League One. Although last season Wolves were finally promoted and became a Premier League club. But against a Premier League powerhouse like Blackburn, they simply don't have the slightest power to fight back.

So George set his sights on Lescott. Lescott is still young and a bit reckless in his play. But no matter how you say it, they are all England U20 internationals, and their strength is still okay. Even if it is placed in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, it can play the main team.

In the process of Wolves' promotion, Lescott has been outstanding. So it's not just Blackburn Rovers who are keeping an eye on Lescote.

Such a player, of course, is also a player recommended by the club's scouts.

So George circled Lescott's name.

The next thing George noticed was a real young player. A young player who has just debuted for half a season, a young left-back from Wigan Athletic, Leyton. Baines.

Baines only started playing in League One in October last year.

In the following half season, although the number of appearances was limited. But it was still remembered by Blackburn's scouts. In this list, there is also the name of Baines.

Baines, as a fan, George also knows very well.

This is a powerful general. In David Moyes' Everton, he was the out-and-out main left-back. And he is a very capable left-back in the Premier League. The attack is strong, and of course, the defense is not weak.

It's just too young.

If he came to Blackburn so soon, George was really afraid of ruining such a young talent. After all, young players need games. At Blackburn, it's impossible for them to get more games.

After all, Blackburn is not the place to develop young players. Blackburn Rovers are a championship team and a club aiming to win the title. It is impossible to sacrifice the club's results for the sake of the growth of young talents.

George liked these young geniuses, but he felt that sacrificing them was a crime.

But soon George shook his head.

Lao Tzu is not a saint. What will become of their careers in the future is none of my business!

George is the club's head coach. Now the club is short of substitutes and these young players are a good addition. If you do it well, maybe even if you can't become Blackburn's main force in a few years, you will be able to sell it for a good price.

Anyway, no matter how you do it, you are a sure deal.

So George drew a circle in the name of Bynes.

Lescott and Bynes are both homegrown players in England. This would also bolster Blackburn's homegrown strength in England. Speaking of which, Blackburn's home strength in England is still very weak.

At present, only two of Blackburn's main players, Campbell and Hargreaves, are homegrown players in England.

Soon Blackburn was on the move.

It's easy to get Lescott and Baines.

Lescott has long been reluctant to stay in League One. As an Under-18 and Under-20 international, Lescott is eager to have a bigger stage. Although Wolves have struggled to be promoted, they are still the first favourites for relegation from the Premier League.

Blackburn is completely different. Blackburn Rovers are the team that can win the Premier League and even the Champions League. So after being lured by Blackburn, Lescott immediately decided to come to Blackburn.

Although Blackburn have Lucio and Campbell, Lescott knows that he has gone to Blackburn Rovers and has no problem playing third at centre-back. Or if one of Lucio and Campbell gets injured, Lescott can replace them immediately.

This decision was risky.

It's possible to get lost in Blackburn. But there is also the possibility of a chance to soar. Lescote chose to take the plunge, so he quickly agreed to Blackburn.

Wolves are reluctant to let Lescott go, after all, they have just been promoted. But in front of Blackburn's banknotes, he can only obediently give in. Blackburn bought Lescott for five million pounds.

Five million pounds can also see how valuable the value of English players is. A young centre-back who has only played in League One is worth £5 million. But now George doesn't care about five million pounds at all.

Five million pounds? In the current Premier League, they are all small transfers.

News from Baines's side was also quick.

In fact, Baines in history is definitely a very sensible and very thoughtful player. When he was at his most famous, even Manchester United and Arsenal wanted to buy him. But Baines did not waver, but remained in League One and stayed at Wigan Athletic.

It is because once he enters the big club, Baines is unwilling to enter the big club too quickly.

But that's the historical Baines.

At that time, Baines was already in his twenties and had his own judgment. But now Baines doesn't have that ability. Because now Baines is only eighteen years old, and there are still more than four months to go before he reaches the age of nineteen.

Now Bairns is the age of passionate blood.

Blackburn's main left-back Reese was only 20 years old when he became the main player. Therefore, Baines is now a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers.

You Reese can become Blackburn's main left-back at the age of 20, why can't I be Baines. He still doesn't know what kind of competition he will face once he joins the team. As a result, Bynes was quick to agree to join Blackburn.

Baines, even cheaper.

As a young player who just started last season, he made less than ten appearances in total.

It's not even worth a hundred thousand pounds. However, because Blackburn bought him, Wigan Athletic was still reserved for a while. It wasn't until George threw £300,000 at Wigan Athletic that Wigan Athletic let Baines go.

The transfers of Lescott and Baines have not even made waves in English football at all.

The English football world is now busy watching what Chelsea are doing. As for the few Premier League powerhouses, there have been no big moves this summer. Blackburn has so far spent less than five million pounds. The transfer income from the sale of players exceeded 40 million pounds.

Of course, George didn't end the transfer like that.
