572 Triumph and arrogance
Little Dane revealed to Qin Xiong about Arsenal's team building plan for the summer.
'Pire's free departure is no longer news, defender Nishigang has been dropped by Arsene Wenger due to a very poor career at Highbury, and will later move to Villarreal like Pire, and Arsenal will not be able to recoup more than £3 million. At the same time, I can also tell you that Campbell, whose contract expires, is due to a long-term injury last season, and he is 31 years old, Arsenal cannot give him a long-term contract, after all, he receives a salary of 100,000 pounds a week, so it is not surprising that Campbell will also leave the team freely. As for the loan or termination of some young players, you are certainly not interested. Who will leave in the next two months will depend on the progress of the recruitment. ”
Hearing this, Qin Xiong frowned slightly.
This was the first time his expression changed, and little Dane had a full view, and more confidence burned in his heart.
Qin Xiong has a reaction, that's good!
At the time of Vieira's departure, Fleet Street had made an opinion about the management policy towards Arsenal: Arsenal are extremely harsh on veterans over 30!
Reflected in the spirit of contract renewal, Arsenal will not be willing to sign a long-term contract with a veteran, and two years can be regarded as a kind of "tolerance and generosity".
Compared with Manchester United's treatment of veterans, not to mention the status and treatment of Ryan Giggs, Scholes, Neville and others in the 92 class have always been guaranteed at Manchester United, Ferguson also dares to trust Van der Sar, who is almost considered to have begun to retire at Fulham, in the sensitive position of goalkeeper.
In contrast, Arsenal's management policies are less sympathetic.
Of course, there will be many people who say that the most important thing in competitive football is human affection.
But who can guarantee that such a policy is correct?
From the perspective of risk control. Perhaps there is a positive side to it. But in terms of people's hearts. Yes, there is a sense of the club's lack of affection.
Campbell is also leaving?
Qin Xiong's mood was a little heavy.
It also made him very interested in Arsenal's recruitment plans.
Dane Jr. didn't beat around the bush and immediately talked about the team's recruitment plans.
"Arsenal have a winter signing delayed due to the talk of your contract extension six months ago, which the club intends to complete in the summer, and that is the acquisition of a young player whose name you may not have heard, Theo Walcott. The club will spend more than £5 million on him, with other provisions that could cost more than £10 million in the future. Song, who came to the team on loan. Arsene Wenger will also spend a small sum of money to buy him out, which should not exceed £2 million, and the purchase of a talented talent named Denilson from Brazil will probably cost more than £5 million, and the expenditure invested in several young players will be limited to 3 million. ”
Qin Xiong's eyes lowered thoughtfully.
Arsenal's plans to build a team sound unappealing!
Yes, Arsene Wenger is still on the path of buying the future.
Three years ago, two years ago, Qin Xiong didn't think there was a problem with doing this.
Because the team has Pire, who is in peak form. Ljungberg, Henry. Vieira and other famous players.
But with the loss of Patrick Vieira, Pire, and Ljungberg's declining form, and now the release of Campbell, it is clear that this team-building strategy cannot keep up with the development of the team.
Who was Walcott? Qin Xiong really doesn't care, but he seems to have heard this name in the news, and he should be a rising star.
And then what?
Will he be able to replace Pire?
No kidding, Hleb hasn't even established himself yet.
Brazilian genius Denilson?
How much did it cost the team to work as a sparring partner as he adapted to the Premier League?
People are always selfish, Qin Xiong two years ago was willing to grow and develop with the club, but two years later, he has experienced the magnificent sea, who is willing to always endure in the stream?
Little Dane looked at Qin Xiong with a smile on his face, contemplating and talking.
"The soul of Arsenal's future is still Henry and you, but the team still needs to expand the squad, not to weaken you and Henry, but just to protect it, and no one wants to see Arsenal become vulnerable when you or Henry are injured and out of action."
Qin Xiong nodded, he could understand and understand the concerns about team building.
He also doesn't want the team to be fragile enough that they can't turn around without anyone.
That would be too dangerous.
Seeing Qin Xiong's positive reaction, the grasp in Xiao Dane's heart went to a higher level.
He was going to add another fire.
Show your energy even further.
He leaned forward slightly and smiled: "After the departure of Pire and Campbell, it looks like Arsenal's wages will free up a huge space, but in fact it is not, because the players' wages are rising, every day, and the rate of increase is faster than the speed at which Arsenal actively controls or even weakens!"
And the salary payment is a long-term and slow process, not a year's salary is handed over to the player at once, but Arsenal's recruitment is a direct expenditure!
Arsenal will spend more than £15 million in the summer.
Including the salary increase for some players, the budget control is no different from the past.
The problem for Arsenal is that after winning the Champions League, many quality players are willing to play under Arsene Wenger, but the club will not risk spending a lot of money to become famous stars.
Internationally, most powerful companies will leave a crisis reserve in their budgets to prepare for the worst for the operation of the enterprise.
Arsenal have long been based on healthy management, and the club also needs to leave enough financial reserves to deal with the crisis, so they have never been generous when it comes to renewing your contract.
Because in the eyes of the board, you should be satisfied, as a player who came to Europe from Asia, you should be humble and grateful, and you should care more about the opportunities that Arsenal has given you, the career environment that has provided you, and in their eyes, most of your achievements are due to Arsenal, including your fame.
But I don't think that's where the core of the problem lies!
It's about PR ability!
Everyone knew that Thierry Henry had the potential to leave Arsenal in the past season, but almost no one blamed Henry for anything, and the Arsenal were begging Henry not to abandon them!
What now?
Even if they are as stingy as Arsenal, do you know what they just did? ”
Qin Xiong took a deep breath and made a gesture of listening.
Little Dane's smile turned into a brighter one, and even made Qin Xiong look extremely proud.
"As a reward for loyalty, Arsenal gave Thierry Henry £5 million! And it will be announced two days later that he will renew his contract, and his weekly salary will rise further to £130,000! ”
Qin Xiong's pupils shrank slightly, and his expression was calm, but he was already shocked!
Little Dane suppressed the most smug and even arrogant excitement, retreated and leaned against the back of the seat, opened his hands and said: "Because Henry is my friend and my client, and I won it for him!" (To be continued......)
