206 transfers
Putting down the phone with Wenger, George smiled.
George never thought of competing with Wenger for Henry. Although Henry is very strong, George especially wants to have Henry. But George knew that Henry would definitely choose Arsenal instead of Blackburn. After all, Arsenal is an English giant and the Premier League champion for two consecutive years. It is much more attractive than Blackburn.
Coupled with Wenger's factor, Wenger is Henry's teacher. Wenger trained Henry in Monaco and let Henry enter the first team.
With all kinds of factors, Blackburn does not have the slightest advantage now. If it is an advantage, it is that George currently has more transfer fees than Wenger.
But George will never go to Juventus. George and Wenger don't have a big conflict. Anyway, he can't buy Henry, so he needs to die with Wenger. Just make a small deal with Wenger.
Juventus are indeed waiting for Blackburn and Arsenal to continue to raise prices. Now both Arsenal and Blackburn are interested in Henry, and Juventus has to sit on the ground. But soon Blackburn withdrew from Henry's pursuit.
Henry's suitor is only Wenger's Arsenal.
Finally, Juventus agreed to Arsenal's offer of £1 million for Henry, who boarded a plane to London.
At the same time, Blackburn's negotiators have flown to Madrid, Spain.

"How much is Chelsea willing to pay?" George basically has everything in his mind about the new season lineup.
Although I couldn't take Harman and Solin, I didn't care.
"Four million pounds." Evan told George next to him.
George shook his head. Four million pounds is too little. Although Edou was a substitute last season, he scored eight goals. The performance is good enough. How can it be worth only four million pounds? At least six million pounds, let them think about it.
The club that is interested in Good Johnson is Chelsea. Goodjohnson also made it clear that he wanted to leave Blackburn, and he was very dissatisfied with being Klose's substitute.
If it's other players, Good Johnson can still figured it out. But for Klose as the main force, Good Johnson can't figure it out. In terms of goal efficiency, Klose is not even as good as Good Johnson. After playing the main force for a season, Klose scored only nine goals. There is only one more than Good Johnson, and the playing time is almost more than four times that of Good Johnson.
With more than four times the playing time, the goal scored is almost the same.
Therefore, Good Johnson felt that George was too nepotism. For his direct line of Klose, he was in pain and underestimated himself. So after the end of the season, George was handed over the transfer application.
When Good Johnson flowed into the transfer market, there were many clubs interested in him. Being able to score eight Premier League goals in a limited substitute time is enough to show Good Johnson's strength. The most positive thing about Good Johnson is Chelsea.
Chelsea made one of the most failed deals last year, which was to buy Blackburn's Chris. Sutton. It's a natural disaster, and Chelsea can't help it.
Sutton, who bought it for more than 10 million pounds, was brave at the beginning. He scored five goals in the first six games, which can be said to be the most popular center in the Premier League at that time. Unfortunately, it didn't take long after I was injured during training, and I didn't stand up until now.
The injury is repeated over and over again, and according to the doctor, it will take half a year to fully recover. And who knows how his condition will be and whether his injury will be repeated in half a year.
So Viali's eyes came back to Black himself. This time he fell in love with Good Johnson, who was not satisfied with sitting on the bench.
"How's the conversation with Villa and West Ham? What are their respective attitudes?
"Vila is unwilling to sell Southgate, let alone sell it to us."
"Do we have any conflict with Vera?"
"They say they don't want to sell players to their direct competitors."
"Shit, Vera also deserves to be a direct competitor with us. Our only competitors are Manchester United and Arsenal. Who is Villa? George despised Vera with contempt. Villa's history is quite brilliant, with seven top league championships, seven FA Cup championships, five English League Cup championships, and one European Cup championship. Few clubs in England can compare such brilliant results.
But the recent results are barely strong. The future Villa is just an occasional rise, which is simply a foil. George's Blackburn is a team with lofty ideals. Vera also dares to say that she is a direct competitor!
"What does West Ham United mean?"
"They didn't refuse directly, but they just kept emphasizing that Ferdinand is an important player in their club." Evan said it with a smile.
George knows that a club emphasizes 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 will not stop it. If they really don't want to sell players, then they can refuse directly and tell them that this is not for sale.
"Okay, Evan. Tell Richard to talk. Be sure to talk about it and don't be afraid of the price. We have the transfer fee in our hands.
George knew that Ferdinand was not cheap, but he broke the transfer record twice. First, he joined Leeds United with 18 million pounds, breaking the record for all-English transfer fees at that time. Two years later, he transferred to Manchester United for a high price of 30 million pounds.
Although Ferdinand's value is 18 million pounds two years later, even his current value is not cheap.
Now Ferdinand is the best young defender in England and also participated in the World Cup in 1998. Although he couldn't play, everyone recognized Ferdinand's strength.
But even if it costs some money, George is willing to buy Ferdinand. This is one of the world's top defenders and one of the best defenders in world football in the next decade. Now it's definitely worth spending about 10 million pounds to buy him.

In Blackburn at the beginning of July, there was a lot of action in the transfer market.
At the beginning, there were some small moves. First, we cleaned up some substitutes from last season. Including Ian. Pierce, Jeff. Kenner, Jason. Wilcox, three people were dealt with by George. Although they are all substitute players, they are still young and have trained in the Premier League.
Therefore, although the three of them are substitutes, they also brought George a transfer fee of four million pounds.
The player who is followed by the cleaning is the more surprising player. It's Good Johnson, a player in his early twenties. Goodjohnson came to Blackburn last summer and performed quite well in Blackburn. Many people think that it is too cost-effective for George to get Good Johnson for free.
I didn't expect that after just one season, Good Johnson would be sold to Chelsea by George. The value reached 5.3 million pounds.
Then Blackburn began to announce the players he bought. Chinese player Sun Jihai came to Blackburn from Crystal Palace for 800,000 pounds. Then Blackburn bought back Manchester United's Henning for three million pounds. Berg.
For Sun Jihai, the reaction of the English media is relatively cold. Or in their opinion, a Chinese player is not worth making a fuss about.
It's for Blackburn's repurchase of Henning. Berg, many media still gave high praise. Berg is strong, and he is also a meritorious player of Blackburn. In the process of Manchester United winning the Champions League last season, they also contributed their own strength.
What's more important is Henning. Berg is just 30 years old this year and has a lot of experience. For the current Blackburn defensive line, Henning. Berg's return is definitely very beneficial.
Of course, in addition to these two transfers, there are also two transfers. It was the introduction of Didier from Le Mans in France for 100,000 pounds. Drogba then introduced young player Scott from the newly relegated Charlton for 170,000 pounds. Parker.
These two transfers are so small that all the small media don't care. When even a Chinese player's value reached 800,000 pounds, the two transfers of more than 100,000 pounds were inconspicuous.
Parker is of English nationality and there is no problem. Drogba's nationality is much better than Essine's. Drogba not only has an uncle in France. And Drogba has been in France since he was five years old, and he has been in France for 16 years.
Both Cote d'Ivoire and France recognize dual citizenship, so Drogba can easily get a French nationality. Now Drogba is still a hairy child, although he is 21 years old. But compared with the later Warcraft, its strength is simply the same.
However, Blackburn's actions did not stop. After Sun Jihai and Berg, Blackburn announced that he had signed the "Golden Left Foot" Davao from Real Madrid for 3.5 million pounds. Sooke. The player, who claims to be able to play the violin with his left foot, is the best scorer in the World Cup in France.
In fact, it's with Davao. Suc is closest to Wenger's Arsenal, but as George gave up the condition for Henry's offer, Arsenal also gave up on Davao. Sooke's chase.
George's original plan was that there was no Davao. After Suc's, but he didn't buy Haman, George remembered the famous Croatian general. Davao. Suk is the first brother of Real Madrid's front line in recent years. It is only with the strong rise of Raul that Real Madrid is ready to let Davao. Sooke left.
Davao. Suke is 31 years old, and he is not very old for a technical player.
The most important time, Davao. Su Ke is a player who has seen the world. It not only won the league championship and the Champions League in Real Madrid, but also led Croatia to third place in the World Cup. Such a player is the most lacking in Blackburn now.
But when everyone marveled at Blackburn's capture of Davao. When Sooke was doing it, the more shocking transfer news appeared in Blackburn. It surprised all the media.
