Chapter 620: Grab people first!

Soriano took the list handed over by Gao Bo.

On this list, Gao Bo does not bring in too many reinforcements, although he is ready to purge many players, but Manchester City is already redundant, so after several purges, there are still more than a dozen usable players.

Gao Bo still insists that there are not too many players in the first team, and it is most reasonable to have more than 20 players and less than 25 people, even considering the higher intensity of the Premier League and the high possibility of players being injured, Gao Bo does not intend to swell the number of players in the first team to more than 30.

It's too bloated and there will be a lot of players in the first team who won't be able to play in any game, which puts a very heavy burden on the management of the team and the management of the dressing room.

Soriano took a cursory look at almost every line, Gao Bo has a target for recruitment, and also divides the priority, after the failure of the priority introduction of players, there are second and third alternatives.

However, Soriano directly skipped the alternative, and for Manchester City, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

In terms of goalkeepers, Gao Bo likes Oblak.

In fact, even at Atletico Madrid, Keylor Navas is only the goalkeeper that Gobo intends to use in the transition, and his real eyes have always been on Oblak.

It's just that Oblak was too young at the time, so Gao Bo didn't plan to interfere with Oblak's growth, but things have changed, and now that Gao Bo has come to Manchester City, the first position he thought of as a goalkeeper reinforcement was Oblak.

The 19-year-old is still Benfica's number two goalkeeper and will be a regular in his history next season, helping Benfica win the Portuguese Super League, Copa Portugal and Portuguese League Cup, as well as helping Benfica reach the Europa League final.

But now Gao Bo is ready to make a move on the young goalkeeper in advance. In Gao Bo's impression, Oblak has all the qualities of a top goalkeeper in other aspects, except for being a little weaker in saving penalties: strong physical fitness, excellent saving ability, overall view of the game, stability, and so on.

And then there's the defender.

Gopo is quite satisfied with the wing-backs on the left and right of Manchester City, on the right he intends to keep Zabaleta, plus Kieran Trippier, and on the left there are Kolarov and Klich, both of whom are good players.

As for the central defenders, the partnership between Kolo Toure and Kompany is not bad, but although Kolo Toure is only 31 years old now, Gao Bo knows that the brother of Yaya Toure, the Ivory Coast central defender, is declining very quickly after 30, so he must plan ahead and find a young replacement for Kolo Toure.

Gao Bo has a crush on Harry Maguire!

Maguire is perhaps the most underrated England centre-back, and until the 2018 World Cup, not many fans believed that Harry could start for England.

But Gao Bo believes that this tall player, who is not slow to turn, has good footwork and air superiority, and is still an England household registration player, will definitely increase in value if he is discovered by other giants!

Maguire is still playing for Sheffield United in League One, and not many people have found this jade in the lower leagues of England, but Gao Bo believes that after taking him to the Premier League for half a year, Maguire will definitely be able to be the substitute for Kolo Toure, and even if he can grow faster, it is not necessary to replace Kolo Toure's main force.

Soriano's brows furrowed when he saw this, and he looked at Gao Bo, feeling a little uncertain.

After all, Manchester City's goal is to go for the championship, and the first two signings made by Gao Bo are not big names at all.

One is the No. 2 goalkeeper who plays in the Portuguese Super League, and the other is simply a 19-year-old who plays in the lower leagues.

Can these people really win the Premier League?

Soriano's heart was a little shaken, but the high wave in front of him gave him confidence again.

The Chinese in front of him won the Champions League with a group of young soldiers!

Soriano continued.

In terms of midfield, Gao Bo wants to bring in two players!

Casemiro and Eriksen!

The purpose of introducing Casemiro is obvious, Gao Bo needs a defender in the midfield, Gao Bo considered Kante at the beginning, but now Kante still has a contract in Atletico Madrid, and now Atletico Madrid is probably not willing to cooperate with him, Kante hopes to follow his mentor, but in the case of Atletico Madrid, it is not realistic to let Manchester City spend one or two hundred million liquidated damages to buy a defensive midfielder.

In fact, Manchester City also has a defensive midfielder, and that is Dutch international Frenkie de Jong.

However, De Jong does not seem to be very suitable for the way of playing on the English side, and the Dutch is also very old, and his mobility and coverage area have declined significantly, Gao Bo does not plan to let that De Jong play the main team, De Jong in his plan, it is not bad to stay, but it is not impossible to leave.

Therefore, Gao Bo set his sights on Casemiro.

Casemiro is now a new international in Brazil!

The defensive midfielder, who came from the youth academy of Brazilian giants Sao Paulo, has strong physical qualities and has an amazing tackling ability, and he is a player who thinks he can cover the backfield and protect the backline. And as a Brazilian, Casemiro's foot skills and passing footwork are good, for Gao Bo, such a player can't be let go!

And, right now, Manchester City are still in the race.

There is no shortage of chases for such a Brazilian international, with teams including Inter Milan and Real Madrid pursuing the Brazilian international.

And with the addition of this player, the fame is even greater.

Ericsson! The Danish international, the heart of the midfield of Dutch giants Ajax, was the assist leader of the Dutch Bundesliga last season. Although he is not physically strong, his ability to fight is weak. But this is a player who plays with his IQ, that is his strength, he has a lot of passes that are unexpected and he is able to create space for himself, for his team-mates.

Such a player is certainly sought after by many parties.

These two players, if Manchester City want to bring them in, it will indeed take some effort.

Once Casemiro and Eriksen join, even if Manchester City's midfield configuration is completed, David Silva, Casemiro, and Eriksen form a midfield, and if you need to play in a 442 formation, Griezmann can also retreat to play in the midfield. In this system, Yaya Toure naturally has a hard time finding her place.

In addition to these players, Gobo also intends to bring in two veterans – Jamie Vardy and Adam White.

They are struggling in their respective Premier League teams right now, with Jamie Vardy on the bench at Everton, David Moyes failing to give him a chance at all, and Adam White losing his place in Alex Sandro after two injuries.

Gao Bo is still a person who misses the old love, let them sit on the bench in other teams, it is better to come to Manchester City, at least the honor will not be less, the salary will not be less, and these two people will join the team, he can also use it, and he doesn't have to worry about having a chance to play.

Of course, with the current form of Vardy and Adam White, it can only be used as a supplement to the squad.

There was nothing wrong with buying Vardy and Adam White, and now they are worth a lot less.

But the introduction of another player is a priority, and if Gobo guesses correctly, Chelsea have been in contact with him for a long time!

Hazard!

The best player in Ligue 1!

If Chelsea win the Champions League this season, they will be able to buy Eden Hazard with an eye on the Champions League aura.

But things are different now, with Chelsea knocked out in the round of 16, so their negotiations with Eden Hazard will be much tougher.

Despite this, Chelsea are close to reaching a deal with Eden Hazard – and that is, of course, Mendes' news.

'The highest priority is to snatch Hazard from Chelsea's mouth first!!'

Gao Bo pointed to the name of Hazard on the list and said!
