The news of Arshavin's transfer to Tottenham did not attract much attention. On the one hand, it is because Russia's results in recent competitions have been very miserable. Especially after the new striker Sychov moved to Marseille, he has no appearance in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan. Another famous player Titov has been staying at Spartak Moscow and has refused to develop overseas. Only Smertin and A. While Kinfeev is still declaring the existence of Russian football to people, it is naturally difficult for Arshavin, who is not well-known in Russia, to arouse enough interest from people. The most he can do is sigh after seeing this news. Ah, here comes another Russian player” level.
The other reason is that now everyone's attention is almost entirely focused on Gerrard's transfer, talking about the former Liverpool captain leaving Anfield to join Tottenham for the championship trophy. As a result, Arshavin naturally received much less attention.
"Brother, which player are you going to bring in next?" Seeing that George took less than a week to complete the transfers of Gerrard and Arshavin, he not only successfully filled the shoes of Franck Ribery and Basturk The vacancy after leaving the team has also made Tottenham's midfield and frontcourt strength rise instead of falling. Adele can't help but be eager to give it a try, "According to the recruitment plan you told us before, brother, there should be several talents missing now. Why?" So, do you need me to go out personally and bring back the players you like?"
Now here is an introduction to the departure of the five players who previously submitted transfer applications. Because he was dissatisfied with being placed on the bench by George in several key battles, Basturk, who wanted to get stable playing time, was the first among several people to finalize his next home. Liverpool, who had just poached their captain from Tottenham, immediately made a transfer offer of 12 million pounds for Basturk, intending to bring the Turk to Anfield Stadium to fill the gap for Gera. The vacancy in the midfield after Germany left the team!
As a reward for Basturk's hard work and selfless dedication at Tottenham in the past two years, and also to repair the somewhat stiff relationship with Liverpool due to Gerrard's transfer, George did not set too much on the Turk's transfer fee. With a high threshold, he directly agreed to Liverpool's offer with a stroke of his pen. After learning about George's move, Basturk was naturally deeply moved, and the original dissatisfaction in his heart completely disappeared - compared with those clubs that are eager to squeeze out every penny of the remaining value of their players. , Tottenham's willingness to consider from the player's perspective is really humane. Who can really resent a club like this?
You know, after winning the European Champions Cup and FA Cup this season, the value of Tottenham players will definitely rise significantly. A player like Basturk who occupies an important position in Tottenham's rotation and has proven that he can adapt to the Premier League is worth at least 20 million euros (refer to Deco's transfer from Porto a year ago) Will be worth Barcelona). However, Tottenham only wanted Liverpool for 12 million pounds in this deal, the meaning of which was obvious to the Red Army executives and the players themselves.
In addition, Vermaelen's whereabouts have also been determined. The Belgian, who has already gained a certain reputation in English football during the two seasons he played for Tottenham, and who has contributed a lot to Tottenham's double championship this season, will also not be short of buyers. After some careful consideration, Vermaelen finally chose to accept the contract offered by Everton and decided to go to the Toffees as a new stop in his career!
Unlike the previous two, Kompany and Villa did not choose to continue playing in the Premier League. Under George's deliberate arrangement, they switched to Monaco and Atletico Madrid, two clubs affiliated with Tottenham's satellite club system, for 10 million euros and 28 million euros respectively. At the same time, George also signed a repurchase agreement with Monaco and Atletico Madrid respectively, which stipulates that Tottenham can pay 15 million euros higher than the two clubs to introduce Kompany and Villa in the next two years. The price takes the two back, and Monaco and Atletico must accept the offer!
Neither Villa nor Kompany expressed any objection to George's arrangement. Because they all understand that Atletico Madrid and Monaco are just a springboard for them to move towards the giants. Therefore, if they have the opportunity to return to White Hart Lane and continue to play for Tottenham, which has a vaguely wealthy atmosphere, they will naturally be extremely happy - of course, the premise is that Tottenham can guarantee their playing time and main position, rather than like As in the previous two seasons, he could only find playing opportunities between a group of main players.
As for Frank Ribery, the most famous and sought-after of the five, "Scarface" is currently negotiating with staff sent by clubs such as Manchester United and Chelsea on personal treatment, and has not yet made a final decision. Decide!
In this way, after signing Gerrard and Arshavin, Tottenham, which has only 21 people left in the first team, will need to introduce at least one central defender, one midfielder and one center to strengthen the depth of the bench. Only in this way can we avoid personnel and physical crisis in the new season due to multi-front operations. Otherwise, the scene where Tottenham were overtaken by Chelsea and lost the league championship at the end of the season is likely to happen again in the new season!
"...Let's forget it." George hesitated, and finally rejected Adele's proposal, "If you go out personally, I'm afraid some people will think that we are planning to make a move that will shock the eyes even more than Gerrard. Big news. So, you’d better go to the headquarters and coordinate the overall situation."
George was not exaggerating. Indeed, with Tottenham's current status in European football and George's current reputation, these minor repair-style transfers do not require their real senior executives to come forward in person, leaving it to subordinates such as Marotta and Paratici. It's perfectly fine to handle.
This is just like when Silvio Berlusconi first joined AC Milan, he would personally go to the Dutchman's home to perform music in order to win over Van Basten's favor. But when the Rossoneri established a dynasty and became a top giant, no matter it was the famous Neither Roberto Baggio nor Sheva received the same treatment. Because at this time, if Lao Bei continues to do everything himself, it will only mean that his subordinates do not have enough ability. At the same time, Lao Bei himself is likely to be ridiculed and despised by his peers - the boss of a top wealthy family just wants to do something for himself. A transfer that was not a big deal was made in person, but when it was revealed, it made people feel that the price had dropped!
Therefore, it is true that being courteous and meticulous in everything is a good way to win people's hearts, but when using this trick, you must seize the opportunity and clearly distinguish the occasion, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.
