Chapter 195 Fluctuation

When the news came that Chelsea offered 30 million for Xia Xing, and when Arsenal and Manchester United followed suit,

Everyone thought that during that winter transfer period, there would be a bloody storm in the summer.

But everyone is wrong.

On the morning of December 18, three transfer offers were submitted to Leicester City's table and were also exposed by the media.

At noon that day, Leicester City held a formal press conference.

Pearson appeared in the club's press conference hall with Xia Xing.

Appearing in the hall together were Vardy and Mahrez.

There have been transfer rumors about those two people recently. Although it is not as shocking as Xia Xing, it still has some impact.

Faced with the wrong reporter, Xia Xing firmly expressed his thoughts.

"He joined Leicester City during the season and competed with the team in the English Championship.

"It was a wonderful experience to successfully reach the Premier League and win the FA Cup.

"And that summer, he was delighted to officially move to Leicester City.

"Now, he hopes to create more miracles with the team.

"Before this, he will not transfer and leave.

"that's it."

Although Vardy and Mahrez did not speak, their firm eyes said everything.

After the players expressed their stance, Pearson also firmly expressed his stance.

"They weren't going to sell the key players they were looking for that winter.

"Because they don't lack money.

"Not only that, they will continue to increase their signings.

"Make the team more competitive.

"Their goal that season was definitely not to avoid relegation!"

No, everyone can see that Leicester City cannot fight to avoid relegation.

I beg you to say that they can compete for the league championship, but that's not very likely.

But it is very promising to get a place in the top four of the league.

As for the players like Xia Xing, Mahrez and Vardy, reporters can also see it.

They are not destined to stay at Leicester City forever.

Especially the younger Xia Xing and Mahrez.

They have great potential and will become world-class stars.

The future is promising.

At this stage, it is definitely a better choice for them to stay in Leicester City and continue to level up.

The transfer wave set off by flattery was over just as it started.

Because of that incident, Leicester City Club promoted winter transfers faster.

For the current Blue Foxes, they can try to increase the depth of the bench, but that is what they have to do.

Now, we have to speed up the progress.

The core players have stated that they are committed to the club, so how can the club wait to die?

Soon, several signings were finalized.

The 23-year-old Croatian forward Kramaric was transferred from the strong Croatian team Rijeka for a transfer fee of 9 million euros.

The forward is not tall in stature, but he has excellent skills and is good at passing and shooting.

Chelsea's veteran goalkeeper Schwarzer came on a free transfer. The 42-year-old will bring more experience to Leicester City.

The 30-year-old German defender Huth, who also has Blues pedigree, is on loan from Stoke City. He will fill the gap in Leicester City's defensive line.

There is a buyout clause in the lease contract, and the price of 4 million euros is also very reasonable.

The targeted additions of those three players strengthened three positions respectively.

The transfer fee cost about 10 million euros, which was relatively cost-effective.

In January 2015, they will officially join the team.

Some people come and some people leave.

The young Kramaric is here, and the veteran striker Fletcher is gone.

He went to Millwall on loan, looking for more playing time.

When the loan contract ends, his contract with Leicester City also expires.

So that separation will never be seen again.

There is a young striker named Crosswood, who actively begged to leave.

In fact, the club doesn't want to let him leave, but he wants more playing time and strongly begs to leave the team.

Previously, he went to Ipswich on loan to return to the English Championship stage.

Young goalkeeper Adam Smith is also gone.

At the age of 22, he could not stay in Leicester City as the third goalkeeper, so he chose to leave.

Nick Powell, who is on loan from Manchester United, will also return to Manchester United after his loan contract expires in January.

He failed to realize his talent at Leicester City and failed to win a buyout contract.

What awaits him is whether he will continue to be loaned out by Manchester United.

The club retained Xia Xing, Mahrez and other key players from Dong Dong, and eliminated some marginal players, making the lineup more reasonable.

Bu Nao's team performance has fluctuated a lot recently.

After winning against Manchester City, Leicester City had a Premier League game every three days.

In the 17th, 18th and 19th rounds of the league, they faced West Ham, Tottenham and Hull City respectively.

All three games against Leicester City ended in draws.

Because I had just finished playing against Manchester City, I was on the bench when I played against West Ham.

But the overall performance of the team was extremely poor.

It ended 2-2 before.

If Xia Xing's pass and shot were not denied, it would be difficult for the team to even take away a point in the away game.

Three days later, after missing the Tottenham game, Leicester City played with all their main players.

Vardy was injured by a wrong leg tackle during the game and unexpectedly left the field.

This frightened Pearson quite a bit, as he was worried about Vardy reappearing the serious injury he suffered some time ago.

After the post-match inspection, Bu Nao found that the problem was not serious and he just needed to rest for a week.

But despite this, Leicester City's rhythm was disrupted in that game.

Conoket, who came on as a substitute, was unable to fill Vardy's vacancy and failed to score consecutively.

Before, Leicester City had no choice but to end 0-0.

That Christmas Eve, Blue Fox fans were not in a good mood.

Three days later, they missed the game against Hull City, and Leicester City still failed to win.

Although the team is in poor condition, it still needs to fight on a large scale.

In that game against Hull City, Pearson consciously made several players who were about to leave the team start or come on as substitutes.

Previously, the game ended at 3-3.

Chris Wood and Fletcher each scored a goal, and Manchester United loan player Powell also made a contribution from long range.

All three goals were assisted by Xia Xing.

All three players also embraced Xia Xing affectionately after scoring.

As the veteran of the team, the 33-year-old Fletcher has witnessed the team's success in reaching the Premier League, occupying the top spot in the Premier League for a long time, and qualifying for the Europa League group stage. He is already very happy.

As a Blue Fox veteran, he is satisfied to leave the team.

Chris Wood's departure is somewhat sad.

He has talent, but he has never been able to find his best scoring touch.

After Kramaric joined, he left the team decisively.

After scoring the goal, he hugged Xia Xing tightly.

"Xia, thank you for the many assists I gave him. It feels great to play with me."

As for another Manchester United player, Powell, his departure from the team seemed extremely gloomy.

The end of that wandering meant the beginning of the next wandering.

Scored the winning goal, listened to the applause of Leicester City fans, and hugged his former teammate Xia Xing.

Powell felt extremely sad.

What will happen in the future...
