Chapter 207 Transfer
Putting down the phone call with Wenger, George smiled slightly.

George never thought of competing with Wenger for Henry. Although Henry is very strong, George especially wants to have Henry.But George knew Henry would definitely choose Arsenal over Blackburn.After all, Arsenal is a giant in England and has been the Premier League champion for two consecutive years.In terms of attractiveness, it surpasses Blackburn by a lot.

Coupled with Wenger's factor, Wenger is Henry's mentor.Wenger single-handedly trained Henry in Monaco, allowing Henry to enter the first team.

All kinds of factors add up, and now Blackburn does not have the slightest advantage.If we talk about the advantage, it is that the transfer fee currently held by George is more than that of Wenger.

But George will never go to cheap Juventus.George didn't have a big conflict with Wenger, and he couldn't buy Henry anyway, so he needed to fight Wenger to death.Simply make a small deal with Wenger.

Juventus is indeed waiting for Blackburn and Arsenal to continue to increase prices.Now that both Arsenal and Blackburn are interested in Henry, Juventus has to sit on the ground and raise the price.But soon Blackburn withdrew from Henry's pursuit.

Henry's only suitors are Wenger's Arsenal.

In the end, Juventus agreed to Arsenal's offer of £50 million for Henry, and Henry boarded a plane to London.

At the same time, Blackburn's negotiators had flown to Madrid, Spain.

…………

"How much is Chelsea willing to pay?" George basically has everything in mind for the new season's lineup.

Although he failed to win Haman and Sorin, he didn't care anymore.

"£400 million." Evan told George from the sidelines.

George shook his head. "400 million pounds is too little. Although Edu came off the bench last season, he scored eight goals. His performance is good enough, so why is it only worth 400 million pounds? At least 600 million pounds, let them consider it."

The club interested in Gudjohnsen is Chelsea.And Gudjohnsen also made it clear that he hopes to leave Blackburn. He is very dissatisfied with being Klose's substitute.

If it is other players, Gudjohnsen can still figure it out.But for Klose as the main force, Gudjohnsen can't figure it out.In terms of scoring efficiency, Klose is not even as good as Gudjohnsen. After playing the main force for a season, Klose scored only nine goals.Just one more than Gudjohnsen, while playing nearly four times as many minutes as Gudjohnsen.

With more than four times the playing time, the goals scored are almost the same.

Therefore, Gudjohnsen felt that George was too crony.He is partial to his direct descendant, Klose, and underestimates himself.So after the season ended, George was handed a transfer application.

When Gudjohnsen entered the transfer market, there were many clubs interested in him.Being able to score eight Premier League goals in limited bench time is enough to show Gudjohnsen's strength.The most positive for Gudjohnsen is Chelsea.

Chelsea made one of the most failed deals last year, buying Blackburn's Chris Sutton.Speaking of natural disasters, there is nothing Chelsea can do.

Sutton, who was bought for more than 1000 million pounds, performed bravely at the beginning.Scoring five goals in the first six games, he was the most popular center forward in the Premier League at that time.It's a pity that after being injured in training not long after, he even lay down and hasn't stood up until now.

The injury has been repeated repeatedly, and according to the doctor, it will take half a year to fully recover.And who knows what his state will be like in half a year, and whether his injury will recur.

So Vialli turned his attention to Blake himself again, this time to Gudjohnsen, who was not satisfied with sitting on the bench.

"How are the talks with Villa and West Ham United? What are their respective attitudes?"

"Aston Villa are unwilling to sell Southgate and they are even less willing to sell to us."

"Is there any conflict between us and Vera?"

"They say they don't want to sell players to direct competitors."

"Shit, Villa deserves to be said to be our direct competitor. Our competitors are only Manchester United and Arsenal. What kind of onion is Villa?" George looked down on Villa with contempt.Villa's history is quite brilliant, with seven top league titles, seven FA Cup titles, five English League Cup titles, and one European Champions Cup title. Few clubs in England can match such brilliant results.

But the recent results, that is, just barely.The future Vera will only show up once in a while, and it will be a foil at all.George's Blackburn, but a team with lofty ideals.Vera also dare to say that he is a direct competitor!

"What does West Ham mean?"

"They didn't directly refuse, but they just kept emphasizing that Ferdinand is an important player for their club." Evan said with a smile.

George knows what it means for a club to emphasize how important a player is. In fact, it means that we need a lot of money, a lot of money.As long as the transfer fee is enough, they won't stop it.If they really don't want to sell players, then they can simply refuse and tell them that this is not for sale.

"Okay, Evan. Tell Richard, talk. Be sure to talk about it. Don't be afraid of the price. We have transfer fees in our hands."

George knew that Ferdinand was not cheap, but he broke the transfer record twice at the time.First joined Leeds United for 1800 million pounds, breaking the record transfer fee in the UK at the time.Two years later, he moved to Manchester United at a high price of 3000 million pounds.

Although Ferdinand's worth will be 800 million pounds two years later, even his current worth is not cheap.

Now Ferdinand is already the best young defender in England, and he also participated in the World Cup in 98.Although he was not able to play, everyone recognized Ferdinand's strength.

But even if it costs some money, George is willing to buy Ferdinand.This is a world-class defender, one of the best defenders in world football for the next decade.Buying him now for around 1000 million pounds is definitely worth it.

…………

In Blackburn in early July, there was a lot of action in the transfer market.

At the beginning, it was all small moves. First, some substitute players from last season were cleaned up.Including Ian Pierce, Jeff Kenner, and Jason Wilcox, the three were dealt with by George.Although they are all substitute players, they are still young and have also trained in the Premier League.

Therefore, although the three are all substitute players, they also brought George a transfer fee of 400 million pounds.

The players who were cleaned next were the more surprising players.It was Gudjohnsen, a player in his early twenties.Gudjohnsen came to Blackburn last summer and performed very well in Blackburn.Many people think that it is too good a deal for George to get Gudjohnsen for free.

Unexpectedly, after only one season, Gudjohnsen was sold to Chelsea by George.The net worth reached 570 million pounds.

Then Blackburn began to announce the players they bought. Chinese player Sun Jihai came to Blackburn from Crystal Palace for 80 pounds.Then Blackburn used 300 million pounds to re-buy Manchester United's Henning Berg.

For Sun Jihai, the English media's reaction was relatively cool.Or in their opinion, a Chinese player is not worth their fuss.
However, for Blackburn's repurchase of Henning Berg, many media still gave a high evaluation.Berg has good strength, and he was a meritorious player for Blackburn back then.In the process of Manchester United winning the Champions League last season, they also contributed their own strength.
More importantly, Henning Berg has just turned 30 this year and has rich experience.For the current Blackburn defense, the return of Henning Berg is definitely very beneficial.

Of course, in addition to these two transfers, there are two other transfers.It was the introduction of Didier Drogba from the French Le Mans team for 17 pounds, and then the young player Scott Parker was introduced from the newly relegated Charlton for [-] pounds.

These two transfers are too small, and all the small media don't care.When the value of even a Chinese player reached 80 pounds, the two transfers of more than [-] pounds were inconspicuous.

Parker is an English national and there is nothing wrong with that.Drogba's nationality is much easier than Essien's. Drogba not only has an uncle in France.Moreover, Drogba has been in France since he was five years old and has been in France for 16 years.

Côte d'Ivoire and France both recognize dual citizenship, so Drogba can easily obtain a French nationality.Now Drogba is still a child, although he is 21 years old.But compared with the later Warcraft, the strength is simply not the same.

However, Blackburn's actions did not stop. After Sun Jihai and Berg, Blackburn announced the signing of "Golden Left Foot" Dave Suker from Real Madrid for a price of 350 million pounds.The player who claims to be able to play the violin with his left foot is the top scorer in the World Cup in France.

In fact, the closest thing to Dave Suker is Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, but as a condition for George to give up his offer to Henry, Arsenal also gave up their pursuit of Dave Suker.

Davor Suker was not included in George's original plan, but after he failed to buy Harman, George remembered the famous Croatian player.Dave Suker has been the top striker of Real Madrid in the past few years, but with the strong rise of Raul, Real Madrid is ready to let Davor Suker leave.

Dave Suker is 31 years old this year, which is not too old for a technical player.

Most importantly, Dave Suker is a player who has seen the world.Not only won the league championship and the Champions League championship in Real Madrid, but also led Croatia to No.3 in the World Cup.Such a player is what Blackburn lacks the most.

But when everyone was amazed that Blackburn won Dave Suker, even more shocking transfer news appeared in Blackburn.Surprised all the media.
