934 New Season
When Millwall returned to London from the United States, a guest came to the club.
Moyes.
This time, Moyes came to Millwall with cash.
He wants to buy Lescote and go on loan with Ribery and Wayne Rooney.
Moyes was out of luck, just in time for Everton to run out of money, before him, Everton was in a good financial situation, but unfortunately bought several batches of good players can only participate in the game of the relegation team, and when he is in charge, the finances become tight, and last season's excellent table Xiàn can only let him come here to buy a player.
Lescott has good potential, but he is already better in the same position.
Aldridge intends to focus on developing Thiago Silva, and during the same period, Barzagli and Neil have been steadily dìng, and the original attitude towards Lescott was also to go out on loan, retain ownership, and wait for him to appreciate more in the future, but considering Lescott's personal opinion, Aldridge still decided to sell him so that he could get together and disperse, and at this time, he didn't want to have trouble with the player about the future earnings of millions of pounds in the future, after all, staying in the team will either consume the contract period or pay wages, which is also an expense.
After selling Lescott to Everton for 5 million pounds, Aldridge, who wanted to keep Ribery in the team, specifically talked to Scarface, in the main position of Everton and Millwall's limited substitution options, Ribery chose to continue to go to Everton, at least Everton also has European games, and Aldridge helped him get a new contract, loan period, Ribery has an additional bonus for playing at Everton.
Rooney also did not want to stay in the team to play as the last striker substitute, Aldridge originally wanted to keep him by his side and teach patiently for a season, because Rooney was "unbanned" in the national team. Aldridge will recruit Wayne Rooney in the second half of the year. It is an important chess piece in next year's European Championship. It can even be said that Aldridge is the most variable in the European Championship, but Rooney's almost pleading attitude at Aldridge's home for three days in a row made Aldridge finally choose to let him return to his hometown club on loan for a season, at least, his number of appearances is guaranteed.
Before Rooney left, Aldrich told him a lot at home, and Evan watched from the sidelines, waiting for Rooney to nod his head countless times and leave. Evan lamented, "It feels like you're his father." ”
Aldrich was stunned and sighed old-fashionedly.
The energetic Lu Xiaopang is a big worry for him, last season in Everton, there was another trick - prostitute scandal, his freckled face has been a household name in the British, in the eyes of Aldridge, he is still a child like Ronaldo dyed his hair and wore studs and began to pretend to be cool, Rooney does not pursue those, just to be cool. The way is different, they are all immature.
Think about it. What is the maturity and immaturity of the players in this regard?
Villa, who came to London at the age of 14, Schneider who came to the team at the age of 20, and Nedved who came to the team at the age of 21, almost ten years have passed, no scandal is no scandal, clean and self-clean, when can Rooney be converted?
"Well, hopefully, he won't get bored."
Aldrich could only sigh.
He was also young, who didn't have a rebellious mentality?
Millwall's training in North America this time worked well, although he lost to Inter Milan in the first game and then won Lyon in the second game, but in the friendly match, he never paid attention to the result, only the effect.
The direct economic benefits of the trip to North America are actually not as good as their past gold panning in Asia, but the development of the North American market is an unswerving work, which is a long-term investment, especially unlike the Asian market, the entire Premier League is actively developing, for the invasion of the North American market, it is a very small number of clubs in the single progress, Millwall has laid a good foundation before, although the benefits are not obvious, but in the future, football in the United States becomes a broad market, 10 years later, when the Premier League flourishes in the North American market, Millwall now lay a foundation that would put them five, ten or more steps ahead of the rest of the team.
As the new season approaches, the recruitment of all kinds of heroes is basically over.
Last season's league champions Manchester United sold Beckham, Ferguson in order to fill the vacancy on the right side, first failed to compete with Barcelona for Quaresma, and then brought the Spanish star, 22-year-old Joaquín to Old Trafford, taking over the position after Beckham left, although Joaquín does not have Beckham's precision-guided arc skills, but relatively, his wide breakthrough is more efficient than Beckham, plus the awareness instilled in the previous training at Millwall, these years in Valencia to strengthen the body, His arrival minimised the negative impact of Becky's departure on the right flank.
At the same time, Ferguson endured Barthez to the limit, and finally made up his mind to take the butter player and buy American goalkeeper Howard to replace him, and the biggest changes to Manchester United's main squad in the new season are these two points.
Arsenal continues to live a frugal life, the famous back 5 old completely curtain call, in addition to the main Campbell and Toure has been thunderous, the professor continues to supplement the young defenders, the cheap Sendros arrived, Seaman's goalkeeper position was also handed over to the newcomer, another good goalkeeper in Germany in this era: Lehmann, at the same time, the professor will naturally continue to select potential stocks from his "talent base" France, fullback Klich came to the arsenal, only spent Arsenal a mere 250,000 pounds, and an important reinforcement, The controversy was that Arsenal "stole" Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona.
The Spanish media is about to fry, and they have asked the Football Association to revise the loopholes in the regulations, so that Spanish talents are always lost abroad, there are Millwall in the past, and then there is Arsenal, Millwall's style has been much better in the past two years, and it used to be "stealing", and now it will negotiate with the club privately to reach a mutually satisfactory clause, pay millions of pounds more, Millwall doesn't care, more concerned about reputation and image, but Arsenal, who is thrifty, has little confidence and people to be kind to people on transfer fees.
Liverpool has not done much to tinker, and it seems that life is getting smaller and smaller.
The most popular in the transfer market is Chelsea, who has money.
There is one fact that cannot be changed.
Without money, there must be no champions!
Countless people said at this time that "money can't buy champions", and they didn't realize what kind of "money" the wealth Abu brought was.
In the past, not counting the situation in Spain and Italy, only when the Premier League, Leeds United, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Everton, Liverpool, all had a large investment, maybe two or three, three or four seasons after the total investment will be more than 100 million pounds.
However, in his first year at Chelsea, Abu smashed the sum of several years invested by others in the transfer market!
This kind of "money" is completely different from the "money" that was talked about in the past.
It's just that a lot of people don't realize it.
Chelsea bought two full-backs, Johnson, Bridge, Makelele and Geremi from Real Madrid, Veron from Manchester United, Mutu from Parma, Crespo from Inter Milan, the players in their dream squad squad, although only one Crespo, but they have bought many of the team's dream players, which also reflects the courage from the side.
Especially in terms of generosity towards players, Chelsea is quietly changing the old pattern of the treatment of players in European football, just like after they bought Duff, they gave the Irish winger a weekly salary of 70,000, such a salary, in Millwall, is close to the second grade of 80,000 weekly salary, which can only be obtained by players like Schneider, and at Manchester United, Arsenal, there will be no more than 5 people who can get a weekly salary of more than 70,000.
Chelsea have become the leader in the Premier League transfer market, with less than £200 million in Premier League summer transactions, and Chelsea accounting for half of the market, while each of their big investments has delighted other clubs, making the market more dynamic than ever, Southampton have £7 million to scout seven players.
When Christian Eriksen led Chelsea to the Premier League Asian Cup triumph in Malaysia, he returned to London and said: "Chelsea have changed drastically from the past, we already have the quality of a world-class team, we will be aiming for all the trophies, the league, the FA Cup, the European Champions Cup, but we are now aiming for qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. ”
Regardless of Eriksen's high-profile remarks, he didn't even enter the Champions League, he was thinking about the championship, and he didn't talk about whether he forgot that England has one more cup than other countries: the League Cup, after all, it is a stage for strong teams to train and is not taken seriously.
But his remarks have not received a positive response in front of the Premier League powers.
Erikson seemed to have given the war letter, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.
As for Fleet Street's tour of the Premier League for the new season, especially when commenting on the summer recruitment, the debate about Chelsea is the biggest, on the one hand, it is believed that Chelsea's strength has changed qualitatively, and on the other hand, it is doubtful that Chelsea's internal hidden dangers are full of new coaches and new players, how to make a team quickly stable and full of combat effectiveness, especially to reach the height that their players should have.
The problem for Manchester United is that they don't have top players in many positions, but they can have a good performance in the Manchester United team, and the top players they are determined to buy seem to be incompatible with Manchester United, such as Veron.
When it was Arsenal's turn to be Millwall, Fleet Street was in agreement: "Three years later, we'll talk about their recruitment this summer.
The new season of the Premier League has begun.
Millwall play their first London derby at Stamford Bridge. (To be continued......)
