207 big deal
On July 16, Blackburn announced that he would sign 20-year-old defender Leo from West Ham United for 12 million pounds. Ferdinand.
The transfer shocked the British football world as soon as it was announced, because the transfer fee was even more expensive than Arsenal's purchase of Henry. Henry is also the striker who has scored three goals in the World Cup in France, and it is not surprising that he is worth more than 10 million pounds.
And football has always been that offensive players are expensive, while defensive players are low.
Otherwise, Maclelele would not have only had an annual salary of 1.5 million pounds. If he wanted Florentino to raise his salary, Florentino would not agree. Real Madrid's "Zidane + Pavin" policy during the Galactic Battleship period also shows how much Real Madrid despises defense.
But now Blackburn actually bought a young defender at a sky-high price of 12 million pounds.
Some people accused George of being crazy and spending so much money on a young defender. Some people think that George is showing Blackburn's ambition.
Anyway, George's big deal completely shocked the British football world.
This is also the first transfer of more than 10 million pounds since George became the head coach. George, who came from a small club, has always been a representative of economy in British football. The players that George bought have always been very cheap.
In four years, the most expensive transfer was the introduction of Van Bronckhorst last year. The transfer did not exceed 6 million pounds, which has been praised as George's big signing.
I didn't expect this summer's transfer to be more amazing, with a price of 12 million pounds. And it was introduced as a defender.
The introduction of Ferdinand immediately surpassed all other transfers in the Premier League.
The introduction of Ferdinand shows Coach Levy's ambition. When Coach Levy took over Blackburn, he faced everyone's doubts and told people that Blackburn's goal was not to be relegated. At the end of the season, Coach Levy's words proved. Blackburn is in an amazing state under coach Levy. At the end of the season, he won the fourth place in the Premier League and a place in the League Cup.
Judging from the summer transfer, coach Levy's ambition is still the same. And Blackburn Club is also very ambitious, and the insider revealed Jack. Walker assured Coach Levy that the transfer fee for this season would be 20 million pounds.
"George has already introduced Henning with this transfer fee. Berg, Davao. Su Ke, two experienced veterans. After Blackburn didn't have to worry about Hendry, there was a lack of veterans. Of course, George has always liked young talents, and he also bombarded the FA for this. There is no shortage of young people in Blackburn's transfer list this summer, Sun Jihai and Didier. Drogba, Scott. Parker has a few young players.
"Of course, they don't have Ferdinand's transfer, which makes people see the ambitions of Coach Blackburn and Levy. He brought in a new England international for 12 million pounds, and he is also the best England rookie defender in recent years.
"I think all the Premier League clubs should feel a trace of chill. Coach Levy is definitely not a coach who is satisfied with his current results.
"What is Coach Levy's goal? Coach Levy has won the FA Cup and the League Cup in Burnley, and believes that winning the domestic cup is not George's goal. The fourth place in the Premier League is not enough to satisfy George. So where is Coach Levy's ambition? Is it the Premier League champion? Or the champion of the League Cup?"
The Sun was very shocked by George's purchase of Ferdinand. When analyzing the transfers of major Premier League clubs in the new season, Ferdinand's transfer was in the front page headlines.
Not only the major newspapers are surprised, but as the Sun analyzed, the major clubs of the Premier League are also surprised. Blackburn's performance last year was already excellent, with one win and one draw in the face of the powerful Manchester United. And he kicked Manchester United's championship away at the end of the season.
From the bottom at the beginning of the season to the fourth place in the Premier League at the end of the season. Blackburn's strong combat effectiveness has worried all Premier League coaches. I didn't expect Blackburn to stop at all, and this season is a blockbuster investment.
Although four people were sold, six people were introduced. But the quality is completely different. Unlike many Blackburn's main players who were cleaned last summer, this time George's cleans are all substitutes. Except for Good Johnson's good strength, the other three are real bench players who have not played many games.
The number of times they play can almost be counted with two slaps. They are so weak that George dares not use them much.
However, the six players introduced this summer, although most of the players are also substitutes. But the quality of the replacement is different. Davao. Sooke was the top scorer in the World Cup a year ago. Henning. Berg was Black's meritorious player who won the championship in the past year, and he won the FA Cup and the Champions League with Manchester United.
These two can completely enrich Blackburn's playing style. Let Blackburn's substitute lineup take the next level.
As for the three little guys, the media can ignore them. But the head coaches of those clubs can't ignore them. Don't look at the small transfers. But who doesn't know that George has a pair of fiery eyes. Now Deco, who is worth more than five or six million pounds, is not a player of hundreds of thousands of pounds at this time last year.
However, the most shocking thing for those club coaches is Ferdinand. Ferdinand is very strong and potential, which is unanimously recognized by the current Premier League club coaches. Ferdinand's physical fitness is excellent, and his header and defense skills are first-class.
Just as the best young defender in England in recent years, Ferdinand's value is definitely not low. With a general bid, West Ham United will not let him go. Of course, the rich club is in the investigation stage for Ferdinand, who is only in his twenties.
Now George immediately took action and won Ferdinand at a sky-high price of 12 million pounds. This is a declaration of war on major clubs. How can it not shock those club coaches?
But it's not that no one questioned George.
Mark, who was just beaten by George. Lawrence stood up again.
"In the fourth place in the Premier League, George was so happy. A young defender who has just played the main force for two years, a 20-year-old defender, can't reach 12 million pounds. I don't deny Ferdinand's excellence. He is also the best young defender in the Premier League at present, and of course he is also the future main defender of the England national team.
"But those are all things in the future. Now Ferdinand should not have 12 million pounds. George must be crazy, really crazy. Even if you have money, you shouldn't be so bad. How much can you do with 12 million pounds? Deselli's transfer to Chelsea is only 4.5 million pounds.
For Mark. Laurenson looked very sorry, and George curled his lips disdainfully in front of the reporter. He said something that stunned everyone and said, "Well, I'm rich!" I can spend as much as I like. What does it have to do with him?
George is like an upstart, talking proudly to reporters.
Of course, with Ferdinand's transfer, Flores also applied for a transfer. In fact, George really doesn't want Flores to leave. Although Flores is a little old, he is very good as a substitute. In addition to being a meritorious player of Blackburn, George hopes to retire from Blackburn.
But Flores didn't like George. Flores obviously did a good job as the main force in Blackburn. After George came, he took it directly on a false charge. Then George set up Cudicini as the main goalkeeper.
Let Flores be a substitute for Kudichini, and Flores won't do it even if he kills. It's not because I can't be a substitute, but because I can't swallow it.
George briefly persuaded him and saw that Flores' attitude was very resolute, so he nodded and agreed.
By now, Blackburn's transfer is basically over. Blackburn was also at the time to gather.
Gatekeeper: Carlo. Cudicini (1); Bobbi. Mims (12); Tariq (25).
Defender: Colin. Hendry (48); Sami. Haipia (4); Leo. Ferdinand (5); Henning. Berg (15); Willie. Saniol (2); William. Gallas (3); Giovani. Van Bronckhorst (23); Luciano. Zauli (24); Sun Jihai (32).
Midfielder: Damien. Duff (11); Robert. Pires (7); John. Miku (10); Anderson. Deko (6); Claude. Macleley (24); Daniel. Romedar (19); Kragg. Bellamy (39); Owen. Hargreaves (13); David. Dunn (8); Scott. Parker (16).
Forward: Miroslav. Klose (18); Didier. Drogba (9); Kevin. Gallag (14); Davao. Suke (12).
Because Hendry has begun to serve as a coaching staff, he took the initiative to give up the number and gave the number 5 to Ferdinand.
There are only 26 people, only two more places than last season. But George believes that Blackburn's combat effectiveness this season is far higher than that of last season. First of all, most of the players have a season of Premier League experience, and people like Duff, Klose and Deco are one year older.
Like Henning. Berg, Kevin. Gallagher and Davao. These players in their thirties, Su Ke, are a little weak when they are one year older. But for players in their early twenties, such as Duff, Claude and Deco, who are one year older, show that they are more mature and more powerful.
With Blackburn's substitute this season, it has completely changed compared with last season. Even if it is Blackburn's substitute, George's pull-out is the strength of the team downstream of the Premier League.
George looked at his first-team list and was very proud. Maybe this is the welfare of the traveler. Without this benefit, how can I introduce so many good players? If you can't achieve a good result this season, how can you be worthy of your identity as a traveler and Jack who has always supported you? Walker.
