Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 335 Transfer Work
The festivities at Millwall lasted two days before the festivities died down and the club declared an official holiday.

The players all went to enjoy the holidays.

In the Millwall coaching staff, Frederick and Aldous also went on vacation, but Zhang Yang still had to stay in the team to deal with the summer transfer issue. Fortunately, Dennis Wise stayed, and He handles transfer work together.

Zhang Yang had already planned for a long time before the match against Liverpool.

Based on his suggestion, the club has also done a lot of preliminary preparations for the transfer, such as contacting the target players in advance, contacting them before discussing the transfer in depth, and for example, listing players that are not needed in the team in advance.

Although the season has just ended, some players have already found their next homes, such as striker Neil Harris, who has already decided to go to Nottingham Forest. Harris is getting old and his condition has declined a lot. A low-level league team can prepare to retire after playing for two seasons.

Millwall and Gillingham negotiated briefly, and the transfer fee for Neil Harris was set at £30.

It's a low price, but not bad.

For veterans who are generally unable to play, the club intends to directly terminate the contract and let them leave on a free transfer. It is quite enough to have a transfer fee.

Barry Cogan, Tim Clancy and other young players, the club will not let them leave. Young players have potential, and no one can tell in the future. The team’s consideration is to loan them out, but if They offered to leave, as long as there is an acceptable transfer fee, the club will not stop it.

This is the tone set by Zhang Yang.

Millwall is no longer what it used to be. If the economic situation last season, young players must be in their hands. If they can play in the future, they will be the property of the club. But it is different now. The goal of the team is to compete for Ranking in the league, trying to play well in the Champions League, such a top-level goal, young players with unstable performances and little potential, have little value, and the team cannot provide them with resources for growth, even if they are not important There are many players who can play in the competition, and it is definitely not their turn. They can only be loaned out if they stay, unless one day, they can really become famous and let the club see the value again.

This is the cruel reality of professional football.

In addition to the above players, Rudy Clark’s contract expires and he will leave on a free transfer. Danny Dicchio and Peter Swiley have been listed for sale, but so far there are no interested buyers. The club has sold the most. The players, but also Joey - Healy and Marvin - Elliott.

Joey Healy was the main player at the beginning of the season, but his performance can only be regarded as "no mistakes". His personal ability is still a bit poor, and he basically lost his position at the end of the season.

However, Joey Healy's performance has won a lot of recognition. After being listed, Queens Park Rangers came to make inquiries. The offer of 150 million pounds was neither too much nor too little. Congratulations are that he When it comes to Queens Park Rangers, they will definitely get a bigger contract.

The two sides have already started negotiations.

Elliott is the most valuable. He performed very well. He played 23 times for the club and scored two goals. He is a very strong midfielder. , Elliott will find it difficult to have a position, but a solid midfielder with good strength is definitely a hot commodity in the transfer market.

When it was reported that Elliott was going to transfer and leave, three clubs inquired in just one day, and the highest transfer offer reached 400 million pounds.

These are transferred out.

For Millwall to participate in the UEFA Champions League next season, it is necessary to strengthen the main lineup and the depth of the bench. The team mainly needs to supplement personnel in the transfer market.

Zhang Yang knows what needs to be added: the wing and the backcourt.

The team has no shortage of strikers. With Darren Bent and Braniff, it is almost enough. Josh Simpson can also play forward. Jamie Vardy is growing very fast. The team participated in more games, in addition to the young Curtis Weston, Weston still has some potential and can help the team play a few times.

Even if the strikers need to be supplemented, they don't need too strong stars.

The winger is a big problem, and the winger has become a scarce resource. At the end of the season, Zhang Yang had to let Braniff play a cameo, and Josh Simpson was even worse. Simpson's defensive ability was a big problem.

Zhang Yang has already decided to let Simpson change his position next season. He will probably be a flexible frontcourt player who can play in every position, but poor defensive ability is also a big problem. How to use Simpson still needs to be carefully considered.

Even if Braniff and Simpson are qualified, there is still a shortage of players on the wing. When one of them cannot play, Zhang Yang has to let Konchesky and Smicer comeo.

It's definitely not okay to always have cameo appearances by players.

The winger, especially the winger, must be supplemented.

In addition, the defense, the central defender and the two wings must also be supplemented. The team cannot always rely on the main players to play. Konchesky is a good player, but he cannot always play. The main central defender Darren - Ward, became the player with the most appearances in the team, including the league, FA Cup, League Cup, Darren Ward played 41 times, only because of a short-term injury, missed a few games, enough to see the back line What a lack of people.

The media reported that Millwall players all described Darren Ward as an 'iron man'. Among the [-] teams in the Premier League, Darren Ward's appearances were only less than Chelsea midfielder Lampard, ranking all Player's second.

Darren Ward's consecutive appearances are also beneficial. First of all, his reputation has greatly increased. Many fans know, "Darren Ward is an indispensable player for Millwall."

This is determined by the playing time.

In addition, the performance of Darren Ward has also been affirmed. This kind of player is what any team wants. In the past few days, some clubs have asked Millwall whether they would consider selling Darren Ward. He is not very promising. A well-known defender, but the offer is also more than 400 million pounds, which can be compared with the excellent front field that has been reported.

But in any case, the back line also needs to be supplemented.

Darren Ward's body is good, and the long-term game has not affected his state, but a season is very long, and no one dares to guarantee anything.

The same goes for the full-backs.

There are two full-backs, no Darren Ward-style 'iron man', and young players leave one by one, and they must also introduce personnel supplements.

Millwall's transfer fee was sufficient, and Zhang Yang also raised his goals. He began to focus on world football, and the first thing he noticed was Real Madrid's youth talent Arbeloa.

Arbeloa was born in the Real Madrid youth training camp. He was once the captain of the Real Madrid second team. He can play multiple positions in the back line. It is a pity that even if he has the ability to appear in any position in the back line, he cannot play for him in Real Madrid. Get a place in the first-team squad.

Real Madrid is interested in selling Arbeloa. Zhang Yang noticed Arbeloa's name and remembered that he would return to Real Madrid in the future. He must have gained some fame.

So Arbeloa became Millwall's first signing target.

Millwall has contacted the Real Madrid club, offering a transfer offer of 300 million euros, and the two sides have already discussed the possible transfer of Arbeloa.

Arbeloa can only be regarded as a good supplement. A fringe player of Real Madrid, even if he has a future, his performance is still full of uncertainty.

Zhang Yang is more interested in Javier Mascherano, one of Argentina's 'twin stars'.

Mascherano is only 22 years old, and he has already played a considerable reputation. As early as the 2003-2004 season, he represented River Plate in the Argentine Football League 21 times. In the 2004-2005 season, Mascherano represented River Plate. He played 25 times in the Argentine Football League and helped River Plate reach the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores for the second consecutive season.

Last summer, Mascherano moved from River Plate to Brazil's Corinthians for $1500 million.

Mascherano was out of luck. He was reimbursed for the season due to a broken left leg. At that time, he only played seven times for Corinthians in Brazil. Thián played eleven times in the Brazilian Football League.

Mascherano's performance is not bad, but due to injuries for half a year, his performance is full of uncertainty, and the economic company behind him hopes that he can land in the European League.

Many European teams are interested in Mascherano, but few really dare to make a shot, because Mascherano has been injured for half a year, and Mascherano's worth is not low. Carlos Tevez's eponymous "Argentine Gemini" wants to buy Mascherano, at least have to prepare more than 500 million US dollars, and the Brazilian Corinthians will not make a loss-making deal.

Zhang Yang let the club make the move without hesitation.

Now the club has sent people to discuss with the Brazilian Corinthians Club and the economic company behind Mascherano, wanting to bring Mascherano to Millwall.

It's sure to be a big deal.

On the decision to sell Mascherano, Wilkinson also specifically asked, "Are you sure you want him? But he had been injured for half a year before, and the Premier League is no better than other leagues..."

Wilkinson was referring to the confrontational nature of the Premier League.

When many South American players land in Europe, their first choice will be Portugal or Spain. The Portuguese Super League and La Liga will make it easier for South American players to adapt. Other leagues are different. The Premier League is the most confrontational among them. It is not easy for ordinary South American players to adapt. .

Zhang Yang affirmed, "I've been paying attention to this player for a while, and he's definitely fine."

"Ok."

In the end Wilkinson didn't say anything, he knew he shouldn't question it.

Zhang Yang understood Wilkinson. He must be cautious when buying players with such a large sum of money. If it was just a transfer of millions of pounds, he would not ask at all. An uncertain South American player.

Zhang Yang is very confident.

In the memory of his previous life, Mascherano would go to Liverpool and Barcelona, ​​and he was very successful, and his fame would grow.

Mascherano can adapt to Liverpool, which means he can adapt to the Premier League. There is no problem joining Millwall. Such a famous player in the future is definitely worth buying now. The direct effect is that Mascherano Lano will make the team's defense much more stable, and he will definitely do better than Elliott.

After that, Zhang Yang submitted a few more lists for the club to try to operate. There were big-name players and lesser-known players in the list, and the biggest one was Joaquin.

Joaquin is the absolute main winger of Real Betis.

After the end of this season, if Real Betis wants to guarantee the club's finances, they must sell well-known stars. Joaquin is on the list. He is quite a well-known player, and the value of a Spanish international will definitely not be low.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Glenn Johnson.

Glenn Johnson is a Chelsea player. It was rumored that he was going to leave in the middle of the season. Mourinho has lost patience with him. However, it is still difficult to say whether Chelsea will choose to sell the player to Millwall. Zhang Yang It's just to let the club try to operate. It's best to get Glenn Johnson, and it doesn't matter if you don't get it.

The next step is to wait.

Zhang Yang is not only waiting for the effect of the club's transfer, but also waiting for a major event - the result of the trial of Italy's "Gate".

Italy's "Phonegate" has had a great impact, and the incident has fermented so much that Juventus officially issued a statement announcing the collective resignation of the Juventus board of directors.

After that, the problem referee DeSantis was disqualified from the World Cup.

The investigation has been fully rolled out. The media reported that many teams including AC Milan and Fiorentina were suspected of fake play. Buffon was also involved in the gambling scandal. The chairman of the Italian referee committee, Ranese, also dismissed get out of class sadly.

On the day the FA Cup ended, the Italian Olympic Committee appointed Rossi to temporarily host the Football Association.

It's not over yet.

The next one or two months are the key. Many famous Italian football players will be included in the list. Even AC Milan will suffer heavy losses. Of course, for the fans, there is no interest in the resignation of a certain official .

What Zhang Yang knew was that AC Milan was penalized and Juventus was forced to be relegated.

This is also the beginning of the rise of Inter Milan.

Zhang Yang focused on Juventus. After Juventus was forced to relegate, many outstanding players chose to leave. It was also a feast for the giants to divide Juventus, and Zhang Yang was also waiting for the opportunity to participate in the feast.

Juventus has many outstanding players, such as Ibrahimovic, Cannavaro, Emerson, Nedved, Thuram, Buffon, Trezeguet, Del Piero , Camoranesi and so on.

As long as these players can win one, it is tantamount to making a lot of money. Compared with the rich teams, Millwall is not attractive, but it is very important to prepare in advance. What if there is a chance?
