Chapter 147 The new season's lineup

Chapter 143 The lineup of the new season
"The team's lineup is too young." Gao Bo looked at the list of players in his hand.This is a really young team.Among the current signings, the oldest Schmeichel is only 23 years old.

"Maybe we can bring in some veterans?" Lin Sen asked.Lin Sen has also returned, and he has been assisting Gao Bo in handling the transfer during this time.

Gao Bo does have this plan to introduce one or two experienced veterans, especially on the back line.

"Let's see if there are players who will have rich experience in the defense these days. We still have time." Gao Bo is not in a hurry on this matter.

"Maybe we can try to sign Campbell!" John said.

"Which Campbell?!" Gao Bo suddenly became interested.

"Sol Campbell! His contract at Portsmouth has expired and he is now a free agent. If we invite him, we can not spend a penny on the transfer fee."

Sol Campbell?
Gao Bo immediately remembered who he was, a former England international who played for Tottenham and Arsenal.Gao Bo is still very impressed with this player.

There are not many players who have played in these two rival clubs. Sol Campbell even became the captain of Tottenham Hotspur for a time.

However, in 2001, Sol Campbell's contract at Tottenham expired, and then he made a move that made Tottenham fans gnash their teeth-he resolutely went to another club in North London, Tottenham Hotspur's rival Arsenal!
In the various lists of the "Top Ten Traitors" selected by the media, basically Campbell and Figo must not be able to escape.

Back then, Campbell's free transfer from Tottenham to rivals Arsenal in the same city caused an uproar in English football.But it was after this transfer that Campbell grew into one of the greatest central defenders in the Premier League, winning two Premier League titles and two FA Cups with the Gunners, and was named in the 2002 World Cup Team of the Year.As a defender, Campbell's physical fitness is excellent, his confrontation ability is outstanding, and his header is also a must.

The veteran born in 35 is now [-] years old. In Gao Bo's impression, the veteran seems to have been in the low-level league for a few years, and finally played in Newcastle for two years before retiring.

This is a very experienced and capable central defender.The only thing to worry about is his physical condition.

Gao Bo thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision: "Someone contact him, we need his experience in the central defender position!!"

Campbell's physical condition is indeed worthy of concern, after all, he is a veteran in his 30s, but Gao Bo is not too worried about this issue - at worst, he will get a card to improve physical strength and physique for the veteran.

An experienced central defender with good physical fitness will definitely help the team to improve a lot!
Sol Campbell readily accepted Luton's invitation. For Campbell, there are not many opportunities at the end of his career. Luton still has a lot of games this season, and Campbell can at least get a lot of playing opportunities.

Luton gave a one-year veteran contract with a weekly salary of [-] pounds.

Saul Campbell, who came to vote freely, readily signed the contract.

"I'm glad you picked my team, Saul!"

It seems that Gao Bo is still in a very good mood when the two sides are pulling the jerseys to take pictures.Being able to get an experienced central defender for free will help Luton's defense a lot this season.

"Haha, I really didn't expect that at my age, I would still have the opportunity to play in European competitions." Campbell grinned.

At Portsmouth last season, he played 33 times in the Premier League and three times in the FA Cup, and he was still in good form. As a result, after the end of the season, Portsmouth did not give the veteran a contract extension.

But Campbell didn't expect that he would find a job again immediately.Although this time he entered the English Premier League from the Premier League, Campbell, who is already 35 years old, has nothing to ask for.

The busy transfer operation came to an end soon. After Gao Bo made a collective appearance with several new players, he announced that Luton's summer transfer window was closed!

This summer Luton moved into Alex Sandro, Griezmann, Schmeichel, Karl Jenkinson and veteran defender Saul Campbell.

Five players were transferred in, and only Charlie Austin was the main player transferred out.

In this way, the team's basic framework for the new season still uses the framework of last season, but it has only made reinforcements in some positions.

After qualifying for the Europa League, Gao Bo carefully examined the team's internal personnel, and then made a judgment: his team does not need to add too many personnel, and the few new players introduced so far are enough to elevate the team's lineup to a higher level.

All the buying plans this summer are based on this season.The introduction of five players and the departure of one of the main players have increased the thickness of the team's lineup, and there will be no waste of hoarding players.

In other words, Luton no longer has to search everywhere in the transfer market, and Gao Bo's team lineup is basically determined.

As for the goalkeeper, Gao Bo decided to use Schmeichel as the main player this season, while Claude will be the second goalkeeper.However, as the hero of last season, Claude will not be completely sidelined-Gao Bo has already talked with Claude, Schmeichel will be the main goalkeeper in the league and the Europa League, and Claude is in charge of other cups, the British Championship, the League Cup, and the FA Cup.

In terms of central defenders, Jeffrey and George Parker were the main central defenders last season, but Campbell has joined this season. If Campbell is in good health, Gao Bo will still trust this veteran central defender. After all, central defenders are a relatively key position, and Jeffrey and George will compete for a main position.

Professional football is like this, competition is everywhere.

The left back is naturally Alex Sandro, while the right back Gao Bo is a little hesitant. For Carl Jenkinson, he still needs to investigate and investigate. After all, Carl is only 17 years old now-to be exact, he will not turn 17 until some time ago.

The midfielder did not change last season's lineup. Drinkwater and Kanter, as well as Kevin Keane and Adam are sometimes used as a midfielder.Moreover, Gao Bo also promoted two players from the youth training camp to the first team. They are Joseph Ander, who is 190 cm tall. This is a defensive midfielder. He can also play as a central defender.

On the forward line, after Charlie Austin left, the main players on the forward line became Vardy and Griezmann.But sometimes Adam can also play the forward position first. With Matt on the bench, the forward line is still sufficient.

On June [-], Gao Bo announced that the team would no longer take any action in the transfer market, and this season's transfer window came to an end for Luton.

And the team's roster Gao Bo has probably drawn up.

Goalkeepers: Schmeichel (12), Claude Rondo (1), Dean Burleigh (25)

Defenders: Carl Jenkinson (22), Mitchell Piran (2), George Parker (3), Jeffrey (5), Sol Campbell (21), Alex Sandro (6), Thoro Davis (24).

Midfielders: Kevin Keane (10), Drinkwater (8), N'Golo Kante (4), Lewis Emmanuel (18), Hassan Ali (23), Adam White (11), Joseph Ander (17), Nick Rose (29)

Forwards: Jamie Vardy (9), Antoine Griezmann (7), Matt Schmidt (19)

Seeing this list, Gao Bo is still very satisfied. From the quality of the main players, they are completely qualified for the Europa League.And the number is not too redundant, most players have the opportunity to appear in the game.

For the next season, Gao Bo is full of confidence.
