0059 People come and go

George Lee ended his trip to Argentina and returned to Leeds, England with Caspar and Walsh, before committing to the transfer of the team.

George Lee still decided to give the transfer of the team as soon as possible, and it is best to complete the recruitment work before the team's training camp.

Of course, someone comes and someone leaves.

Mateo and Barker, who have already proposed transfers, have already made their way to the next home. Dominic Mateo is out of contract and has moved to Blackburn on a free transfer. Blackburn finished 15th in the Premier League last season and were relegated. But the actual situation is that it is 9 points ahead of Crystal Palace, who are relegated from 18th place, and jumped out of the relegation circle early.

However, the team that started the origins of Premier League football in the 90s were re-promoted to the Premier League in the 01/02 season, and also won the League Cup that season. Under Graeme Souness, Blackburn Rovers continued to improve in the 02/03 season, finishing sixth and qualifying for the UEFA Cup for the second year in a row. But the next result was similar to Leeds United, who finished 15th in the league for two consecutive seasons and fought for relegation.

Blackburn agreed to Mateo's main position, and Mateo agreed to join Blackburn, the two sides signed a two-year contract, and Mate will be 33 years old in two years, and when the time comes, he will need to return to Scotland to join his hometown team or continue to stay in the Premier League.

If Matteo's departure is for the needs of Leeds United's rejuvenation, then Eric Barker's departure is entirely due to the inability to play, and the arrival of De Jong has once again compressed Buck's playing time, and in order to ensure his playing time, Buck also chose to leave.

In the end, Barker moved to Aston Villa for a half-buy-and-half-giveaway.

In recognition of the contributions that Mateo and Barker have made to Leeds United over the years, Leeds United decided to organise a farewell match for the two veterans after completing their training camp.

Leeds United, with their excellent performances last season, have also received some offers from other players.

Alan Smith, the team's top scorer, for example, received an offer from Manchester United.

As a result, George Li also laughed when he saw the offer.

Ferguson wants to buy Smith through a cash plus player exchange, which is the player in exchange for Weiss Brown, who George Lee has always wanted to buy.

When Ferguson taught George Lee before, he also talked about what to talk about, when both sides have players who like each other, they have to take the opportunity to bargain and so on. It's better now to put Wess Brown directly into the transfer and don't have to talk to him.

But George Lee's fax back to Ferguson was a middle finger pattern made of letters and words, with an additional sentence underneath.

“Dear Sir Alex Ferguson”

After Ferguson received it, he was also angry and directly tore up the fax and threw it into the trash.

There's nothing to talk about, it's impossible for George Lee to sell Smith, so can you Alex Ferguson buy Frank Lampard for Chelsea now? Can you buy Liverpool's Steven Gerrard?

Forget about the middle finger pattern, George Lee then sent a 3 million offer to Manchester United for Leo Ferdinand, who was in the Manchester United team and previously played for Leeds United.

Ferguson was even more angry, called George Lee, and directly turned on the ultimate "hair dryer mode" on the phone.

"Are you talking about falling in love, you come to buy Ferdinand for 3 million pounds, I bought it from Leeds United for 30 million, and now you want to buy my 27-year-old main central defender at the peak of his prime at a tenth price, I TM......"

"Old man, it's a mistake. I just asked, it was our transfer department who made a mistake, and I asked them to quote 3 million pounds to buy Anton Ferdinand, not Leo Ferdinand. I've already criticized them, don't be angry. George Lee forced himself not to laugh on the other end of the phone, he just wanted to disgust his teacher, who made him disgusted that he had not sold Weiss Brown to him.

"Fortunately, these two brothers are not twins, a few years old apart, a discerning person can see it, otherwise I am really afraid that you will kidnap Leo and kidnap him, and settle it for me instead."

Then George Lee continued to laugh ninja and began to follow the yin and yang Ferguson.

"Old man, you are so clever, why didn't I think of this way, I went to find out if there were any twin players who looked the same, one let him play in the first half, and the other let him play in the second half, it's not too perfect."

George Lee is talking about the twins that Manchester United later brought in from Brazilian club Fluminense in '08.

Fabio and Rafael are twin brothers, both born on 9 July 1990, and joined United together in 2008 as a left-handed and left-back respectively. It's still rare for twins to play together in the first team of a top-flight giant, and Red Devils fans once joked that having twin brothers would save a substitution.

Hearing George Lee's words, Ferguson began to curse at him again.

George Lee listened to the phone while looking at other transfer offers, although Ferguson's words were difficult to hear, but he hadn't heard them for so many years, and he still felt very kind.

Arsenal made an offer for Van Persie, but George Lee chose to decline.

After George Lee came back, he received the news that Smith was placed next to Van Persie as a "spy", Van Persie had no idea of leaving, and he was quite resistant to going to Arsenal, after all, how could General Van Da, who had already played the main force, be willing to go behind Henry and Bergkamp as a small soldier.

"Is that Dutch striker in your team for sale?" After Ferguson finished scolding on the phone, he continued to ask George Lee.

"Why don't we video?"

"Why, can't you talk on the phone, you still need a video."

"I'll give you the middle finger on the phone, you can't see it."

"Fxxk, you ......" Ferguson continued to turn on the hair dryer.

Ferguson is also wishful thinking, thinking that he is going to be too young, Ruud van Nistelrooy wants to leave the position of Rooney and Little Roteng, but he can't look down on the striker who is too poor, and it just so happens that the Dutch striker of his disciple team is very good.

Although Ferguson also knew that the chances were not great, he still brought it up with the attitude of giving it a try.

The result, of course, was a miserable rejection.

George Lee continued to flip through other quotes.

Charlton wants to buy Romedahl and Birmingham want to buy Glen Shire.

Oh, these two good brothers ranked 10th and 11th are eyeing the wings of Leeds United.

Although George Li is now beginning to feel that the finishing ability of this pair of "Danish Double Blades" is insufficient, he is still reluctant to sell it now, first, the team still needs the speed of these two people to attack, and second, the team's multi-line combat wing players still need a certain amount of squad thickness before there are too good reinforcements. So these two guys won't be sold at least this season, especially the left side of the team still needs the presence of Glen Shire, and on the right, if the team buys Kuyt or Kevin Davies, they can let Van Persie play a dozen on the right side.

Therefore, George Li also chose to reject these two offers.

Inter Milan and Tottenham offered Edgar Davies, but Davies didn't want to go to this place in Italy. As for Tottenham, Davies's economist asked Tottenham privately, and the weekly salary was lower than Leeds United, and Davies was directly angry after hearing it, saying that he would give them a little color when he played Tottenham next season.

Mathieson and Mills received offers from Manchester City, but George Lee was ready to turn them down.

The main lineup is chased, and the substitute lineup is also hot.

George Li was just about to pick up several other offers, when he heard the sound of "doodoo" on his mobile phone, and it was estimated that Ferguson scolded for a long time and heard no response, so he hung up the phone.

George Lee put down his phone and looked at the other offers again.

Milner, Pederson, Hart, Dawson......

George Lee then picked up a West Ham United offer for Oscarson.

This season, the "Hammers" West Ham United lost to Wigan Athletic in the Championship play-offs, and can only stay in the Championship, in order to strengthen the team's forward ability, they have targeted Leeds United's Icelandic striker.

During Oscarson's season in the Premier League, George Lee discovered that although the Icelander had height and speed, the confrontation was too poor to take advantage of the head-to-head confrontation, and his Chelsea hometown Gudjohnsen was not at the same level at all.

George Lee picked up the landline and dialed the number of the team's director of football, Eddie Gray.

"Hello, this is Eddie Gray."

"Eddie, what's going on with Bolton?"

"I wanted to tell you this, and the players agreed to join us, but the price seems to be a bit high at Bolton."

"How much?"

"5 million pounds."

"Do they really dare, but what about Feyenoord?"

"Not ideal, I think we can give up, it's already 15 million, who do they think it is, Fanny or Van Basten?"

"Bolton put a little price there." George Lee gives Gray new instructions.

"Is it so urgent?"

"I'm going to get the Icelanders out of the night."

Across there, Gray pondered for a moment, then said to George Lee.

"I think I can do it, but do we need to discuss it with the coaching staff?"

"Do the players themselves have any ideas?" Lee George asked Gray.

'He's willing to go to West Ham.'

"That's it, agree to a transfer offer from West Ham United, no need to have a meeting, and then go all out to buy Kevin Davis."

"You're really bullish on this Kevin Davis, after all, his scoring ability is really not flattering, and his foul is not ......"

"It's okay, that's what I want. I'm going to go to the Netherlands for a while, Eddie, you can keep an eye on the transfer, OK? ”

"You go, I don't know what Dutch league players you are going to get back this time, I also admire you, the players you introduced in the Netherlands last year are good, and I hope to spend a little money to do big things this year, hehe."

George Lee did not tell Gray in detail, the main purpose of his visit this time was to see Michels, when the master who pioneered the "all-attack and all-defense" died, George Lee did not attend his funeral because he was leading the team to play, and this time he was going to the Netherlands to have a look.

Of course, there is one other thing to do in the Netherlands.

"Jingle Bell~"

George Lee's cell phone rang, and he glanced at it, and it happened to be Helen calling.
