Leeds United fans have been looking forward to the latest progress in the winter transfer.
Leeds United's official website officially announced the joining of Reading young player Gilvi Sigurdsson on January 10.
Who is this person?
All Leeds United fans have no idea who this player is, because this player has no record of any appearances in the Reading first team.
18 years old, with almost no playing experience, and even only one signing record from Iceland to Reading. And the team did not disclose any transfer price.
That's it?
Sold Van Persie for £24 million.
Then I bought a player like this.
Fans are even curious whether the team spent more than 2,400 pounds on this transfer.
Faced with the scolding from the fans, George Lee did not come out with any clarification.
Only the club said that it will complete the reinforcement work of the team in the future. The team's current lineup is quite complete and there is not much need for players to transfer.
Sure enough, Tony Wilson was the one who was blamed. After speaking in front of the media, he was attacked by some radical fans and was blocked at the entrance of the club.
Until we got in the car, we couldn't help but complain about George Li.
"Damn it, it's not like I don't have money. Why am I so tired after spending some money?"
Looking at the increasing balance in the transfer funds, Wilson really wanted to put it in the bank to earn some interest, and then do some charity.
The fans and media were making a fuss outside, but the team was really peaceful inside.
After Van Persie left, Smith offered to go to the left. After the team's problems were resolved, Leeds United began intense preparations again.
After the game against Fulham on January 1, Leeds United had only one FA Cup third round match against Fulham. The team easily won 3-1. Smith did not play in this game. David Si, Kuyt, and Woodgate scored three goals.
Smith has not been included in the squad, so George Lee is preparing to surprise Benitez's Liverpool.
The team is now fighting on three fronts. After being eliminated from the Champions League and League Cup, George Lee set his goal on the League and UEFA Cup. Prepare to win in both competitions.
As for the FA Cup, George Li is planning to use it for training.

On January 13, Leeds United faced the challenge of Liverpool at home.
Leeds United made several adjustments today compared to previous games.
The first is the central defender position. Because Li guessed that Liverpool would start Crouch today, he removed the short Mattison and let Woodgate and Granqvist start together.
The main purpose of Granqvist is to restrict Crouch when competing for high balls. Although the "Tall Guy" has good footwork, George Lee feels that he still has to put a taller player in to feel at ease.
Secondly, today Leeds United set up a double midfielder combination. Parker started with De Jong, and Graveson was in the central midfielder position.
This means that Leeds United may not be so quick in advancing in the middle, and the middle should be mainly excessive.
The two wings are Milner and Smith.
Originally, George Lee wanted Kuyt to play on the right and Smith on the left, but in this case the team would be like a classic car, too slow.
So Kuyt could only serve as forward, and Davis sat on the bench.
Today Liverpool is also in a 4231 formation.
In other words, this is the only formation Benitez knows.
Because of the extensive injuries in the team's midfield. Liverpool had to let center back Agger partner with Alonso to form a defensive midfielder.
Let left back Riise play as the left winger. The Norwegian has played this position before, but not often.
On the right is Pennant, who was loaned to Leeds United in the 2003/04 season.
Gerrard is still the first choice at central midfielder.
Before kicking off immediately, George Lee looked at the Spanish fat man on the side and snatched Kuyt away from him, which greatly affected Liverpool's offense this season.
I originally wanted to negotiate Torres' transfer before the season, but in the end it was delayed until the end of the transfer period due to price issues without success.
Oh, sin~
After the game started, Smith immediately became active on the left side of Leeds United. Different from before, now he actively wants to play on the left side, and his mentality is completely different.
He even recently pestered Chris Kasper for some video clips of Van Persie on the right, hoping to see how his good brother played before.
"It's different, it's different..."
After learning the news, George Lee quickly explained to Smith not to rush for success. What he needed was for Smith to hold the ball on the right, not to finish.
Smith also listened to this suggestion and asked several coaches for advice, and took the initiative to ask several coaches for feedback during training.
Under the leadership of the captain, Leeds United's recent training situation can be said to be surprisingly good.
Some practice more, some ask for advice, and some give suggestions.
In the 8th minute of the game, Smith received Graveson's pass on the left. Facing Finnan's defense, he first slowly controlled the ball to the center, and then waited for Baynes on the wing to intervene, then shot to the left. ball.
Then he immediately inserted himself between Finnan and Hyypia, blocking the penalty area.
Bynes pushed the ball behind Finnan. When Smith wanted to catch the ball, Bynes failed to pass the ball well and went out of bounds.
Smith gave a thumbs up to Bynes and then patted his chest. He said that the ball was OK, but he didn't keep up.
Baynes raised his hand slightly, indicating that he made the pass.
In the 17th minute of the game, Leeds United made a comeback, this time it was Bayern's push.
He received the ball passed to him by midfielder De Jong after grabbing it, and then pushed forward decisively.
After a one-two with Smith near the right, he got rid of Finnan and headed towards the baseline.
Cross from the corner of the penalty area.
The ball flew towards the penalty area. Reina did not attack, but stood on the goal line and watched the ball as Kuyt and Carragher competed for the top.
In the end, Kuyt jumped up first and grabbed a bit of the football, but because he was in too much haste, he didn't hit it hard.
But the ball was very tricky. Kuyt hit the ball on the ground and bounced to the left side of the goal.
Although Reina was well prepared, he could only choose to make a horizontal save.
He made the first pounce to prevent the ball from flying into the goal, but the ball was pounced at the feet of Smith who followed.
Smith chose to fall to the ground to tackle the ball, and Reina got up again to save the ball.
As a result, Smith touched the ball, but the ball was saved by Reina who followed up in time.
After seeing Leeds United's continuous threatening attacks from the left, Benitez quickly rearranged his position.
"On the right side, the defense on the right side needs to be more personal."
"Pennant, pay attention to return to defense."
George Li also heard Benitez shouting loudly, but then he didn't shout.
Because he saw Graveson looking at him.
Li raised his right hand to half height and then clenched his fist.
This means allowing the team to focus their offense on the right wing.
Graveson nodded anyway.
Then start thinking.
"The boss has reached out."
"I look to the left here."
"Then he is the right hand."
"Just let's fight to the right."
"clear!"
After Liverpool kicked off the ball, Agger was brought down by Kuyt when receiving the ball, and the referee called Leeds United a foul.
Gravesen glanced around furtively and found that no Liverpool players were paying attention to him.
Then he looked at his midfield and backcourt teammates nearby and found that several of them were paying attention to him.
He quietly made a gesture of reaching out to the right.
Then he ran to Parker, who had not seen his gesture just now, and whispered.
