Although Tottenham got the nickname "Spurs for overpriced" due to their interference in Beckham's transfer, this nickname of Tottenham is similar to when people in previous generations called Manchester United "United for overpriced". There is an essential difference.
In the previous life of Manchester United, after Ferguson retired, although there were scandals with many players in every transfer period, the final result was always that after some negotiations, the player he wanted was sold by the club with a higher bid. The role played by Manchester United in this process was only to increase the value of the target players, and this became what fans call a "price-raising alliance." Its intention is more to satirize the Manchester United management for always making loud noises but little rain in the transfer market. Apart from various transfer rumors, there are basically no concrete results.
The reason why Tottenham are called "Spurs with high prices" by fans is more because people are shocked by Tottenham's generous behavior in the transfer market, and they are surprised to give Tottenham a price. Got such a title. Therefore, this nickname is not a satire on Tottenham's inaction in the transfer market, but a lament that Tottenham is too money-burning!
Although Tottenham have not spent more than 10 million pounds in the transfer market so far, many people believe that George has paid far more for players such as Carrick and Drogba in these transactions. transfer fee for his worth.
They offered a transfer fee of 9 million pounds for Carrick, who had played intermittently for a season, but ignored Joe Cole, who was cheaper but more famous, and introduced an unknown player from the declining French Ligue 1. Didier Drogba, as well as high-priced signings of budding young players such as Kompany, Cech, and Ronaldo... The total cost of these transactions has exceeded 30 million pounds!
It is precisely because of this that George's actions in the transfer market are caused. After all, his behavior is called focusing on the future at best, but at worst it means that he is just like Moratti from Inter Milan, burning money purely based on his own interests!
"He can't win anything with a bunch of kids!" This is what Liverpool star Alan Hansen said when he satirized Ferguson for rehiring Class 92 after "King of Manchester United" Cantona retired. Now, this sentence has been used by Wenger to mock George's various actions in the summer transfer market: "We can see from George Nelson's actions in the transfer market that he wants to copy Manchester United at Tottenham. The glory of the '92 generation'. But don't forget, Tottenham is not Manchester United, Nelson is not Ferguson, and the players he bought cannot be compared with the '92 generation. What's more, the competition in the Premier League is also far more intense now than it was then... ...So, Tottenham are likely to be dragged down by Nelson's whimsical move, and even end up with the same ending as West Ham United last season!"
Haha, others can say whatever they want, but Wenger is the only one who is least qualified to say this! This was the only thought in George's mind after seeing Wenger's ironic comments about Tottenham's signings this summer published in The Times - How dare you say that others use young people to build a team? Whimsical? Looking at your performance at Arsenal in your previous life, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a pedophile!
We'll see, Wenger, how long you can laugh! Knowing that Arsenal would soon have to sell off the main players in the team to build a new stadium, George sneered in his heart and kept Wenger's provocation in mind, preparing to wait until the right time to settle the ledger with him. !
Although Tottenham's signings in the transfer market have puzzled many people, and their frequent actions and involvement in Beckham's transfer have attracted the attention of many media and fans, in fact , now most people's attention is still focused on the two protagonists, Beckham himself, and Real Madrid, which announced the signing of Beckham.
After all, compared with Tottenham, Beckham and Real Madrid, which pursues a superstar policy, are obviously more appealing and more interesting to fans. Therefore, the discussion about Tottenham did not persist in the newspapers for long before it was drowned out by the wave of news about Real Madrid signing Beckham. And this is what George wants to see most now.
In George's view, it is enough to come out occasionally to brush up the sense of presence. A stable external environment is what Tottenham needs most now. Especially after almost completely renovating the entire first team, George needs a stable environment to polish this brand-new team.
However, just when people all over the world had not recovered from the earthquake of Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid, another earthquake came quietly at this time!
Later on July 1, Chelsea held a press conference to announce that Russian oil tycoon Roman Abramovich had successfully acquired all Chelsea shares from Ken Bates for £150 million, becoming the company. The new owner of the London club!
Immediately afterwards, Abramovich, who appeared at the press conference, announced three pieces of news that excited all Blues fans after he became the owner of Chelsea in front of a group of media reporters!
The first is that Abramovich will use his own money to repay the 80 million pounds of debt that Chelsea has accumulated over the years, so that Chelsea can get rid of the predicament of high debt; the second piece of news is that the Russian tycoon said that he will allocate a sum of money to Chelsea. The transfer budget of up to 100 million pounds allows the team to have sufficient funds to strengthen the lineup in the summer and impact the dominance of Manchester United and Arsenal in the league; and the last one is that Manchester United CEO Peter Kenyon accepted Abramovich Invitation to take up the post of General Manager and CEO of Chelsea Club from today!
Paying off huge debts, a transfer budget of 100 million pounds, and the arrival of Kenyon, a top CEO... The announcement of these three pieces of news instantly won Abramovich the support of the vast majority of Chelsea fans. Especially the poaching of Kenyon from Manchester United has made most Chelsea fans full of confidence in the club's prospects - you know, Manchester United can beat Real Madrid, which has implemented the superstar policy for three years, and is still the world's most profitable. A strong football club, as CEO Kenyon is definitely the number one contributor. And now, this strongman has become an employee of Chelsea. Doesn't this mean that the rise of the Blues is just around the corner?
Therefore, although we have not seen much results yet, these actions of Abramovich are enough to suppress the doubts from fans and Chelsea internals. It also shows that he bought Chelsea not just for fun, but also for a higher pursuit. For example, let Chelsea become the third pole in the Premier League, even surpass Manchester United and Arsenal, and become the new generation hegemon in English football!
However, although Abramovich's arrival is a good thing for the Chelsea club and Blues fans, for many Chelsea players, head coach Ranieri and other employees, the news is not so good - There is an emperor and a courtier, and there are three things that a new official should do when he takes office. In order for the team to produce results as soon as possible, those players and staff who do not meet the requirements must be purged.
In fact, the first person Abramovich wanted to replace was Ranieri, the current Chelsea coach and known as the "tinker". Just like Florentino finds Del Bosque distasteful, Abramovich also feels that this conservative Italian coach does not fit his image of a wealthy coach at all. It’s just that the coaches that Abramovich is interested in are basically well-known and well-known coaches at this time, and those who are unemployed at home do not plan to coach at Chelsea. In addition, Ranieri led Chelsea to fourth place in the Premier League last season. The Russian Then the tinker was let go for the time being.
Although due to various reasons, Abramovich's first fire did not burn Ranieri's head, but the team's overhaul is inevitable. As a result, under the operation of Kenyon and Ranieri, the names of Veron, Glen Johnson, Joe Cole, Damien Duff, Wayne Bridge and other stars have been linked to Stamford Bridge. relationship. Obviously, Chelsea are also preparing to make a big splash this summer.
Since even the players are ready to change, Chelsea's staff will naturally not escape this disaster. No, Steve Walsh, Chelsea's chief scout in Europe, submitted his resignation to Kenyon on the third day after Abramovich took over, then turned around and fell into the arms of Tottenham, and was appointed by George. Take the important responsibility of the chief scout of Europe!
"George, now I have completely paid off what I owe you." Kenyon said to George on the phone, "If it hadn't been for me before, I wouldn't have let Steve (Walsh) leave so easily. , no matter what, we must find a way to keep him."
"Well, Peter, thank you so much this time." Knowing that the other party intended to sell him a favor this time, George naturally had to lower his stance, "Next time if you need me for anything, just ask. , I will definitely try my best to help.”
In George's view, Leicester City in the previous life was able to miraculously win the Premier League championship in the 15-16 season. Ranieri, as the team coach, certainly contributed a lot, but without Leicester City Football Club at the time, Director Steve Walsh laid a good foundation and advocated the purchase of N'Golo Kante and Vardy. Players such as Mahrez and the "Fox" cannot have the ability to create this miracle.
Without Kante, Vardy and Mahrez, would Ranieri still want to win the Premier League title? Go ahead and dream!
Therefore, when this scout with extremely vicious vision resigned from Chelsea and took the initiative to join Tottenham and became an employee of Tottenham, George was naturally extremely happy.
The most important thing is that after having three players in Walsh, Marotta and Paratici who have very vicious eyes on people, the troika of Tottenham's scouting system can finally be said to have basically taken shape. In this way, even in the future, when George's memories of his previous life are no longer useful, Tottenham, with this troika system, can continuously bring players who suit the team's tactical style to White Hart Lane!
