Chapter 4 New Season

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop!

Leeds United did not cause any storm in the transfer market, and chose to play away in the warm-up match, and did not conduct too many reports. It was as low-key as a team that had never taken over the summer, changed coaches, and signed players, but other competitors did not intend to let Leeds United go!

The first move is Chelsea. This team that has failed to win the championship after coaching the three famous coaches, Mourinho, Stewart Pierce, Frank DeBor, has now passed to Scots Paul Ramport, but only won the fifth place in the league last season. The "Blue Army" who wants to do a big game this season took advantage of the turmoil of Leeds United and took action against Nelson Oliveira and Phil Jones.

Originally, Nelson Oliveira felt that she had no place because of Shaq's return. Everyone knew that Shaq had never been injured in twelve years. This guy is in good health and has a very good luck. The striker who serves as a substitute for Shaq is the most tragic. Coupled with the high salary offered by Chelsea, the Portuguese found Simon Grayson and expressed his thoughts.

Simon Grayson could only agree with a wry smile. He is the one who knows Shak best. Although Shak's physical condition is not as good as in previous years, Shak still played 52 games and scored 90 goals last season at Barcelona. This is still the data under Simon Grayson's intentional control. If necessary, Shak can still play all the games in a season.

Facing Nelson Oliveira, Simon Grayson also felt helpless. When Shaq was pushed to the forward position and Tevez at his peak formed a terrifying forward combination. As a result, Nelson Oliveira, who was the team's future forward reserve, played for the team in those two years, so few games were pitifully.

Now... let him go!

Anyway, it cost Leeds United £9.5 million to buy the Portuguese striker. Now 32-year-old Nelson Oliveira can still exchange £6 million for Leeds United from Chelsea!

In addition to Nelson Oliveira, the "Blues" also took a fancy to Phil Jones. The reason why the 31-year-old England national team's main central defender wants to leave is very simple...salary!

In order to get Phil Jones, Chelsea gave an annual salary of 5.75 million pounds, a three-year contract, which is really tempting for a 31-year-old player.

Simon Grayson also felt that his resistance to money had decreased. The "Blue Army"'s £16.75 million offer made the "brutal Simon" very moved, and the transfer transaction was finally completed.

Leeds United's transfer fund account is not short of money, with 80 million pounds. But Simon Grayson knows very well where the money comes from. These are all transferred by his most complacent disciple Shakh and he worked hard to get it. Before he met a player who had to buy it, the "brutal Simon" still didn't want to use it.

In this way, Simon Grayson naturally could only rely on recovering funds from the transfer market to complete capital accumulation.

Fortunately, when Simon Greyson was inspecting related clubs such as Gremio and Anderlecht, he found a talented Brazilian defender in Gremio, 22-year-old Marcio, a young player with great physical condition and good heading skills and prediction. With a little crafting, he can become an excellent iron gate.

However, Gremio's price is so tight that he can't lose 7 million pounds. Simon Gresen also temporarily put aside this transfer deal. Du Xiaoguang and Marcio are his ideal central defender combination.

As time goes by mid-August, a deal that Simon Grayson does not want to complete is completed. The Gunners' 60-year-old coach Mourinho also used £16.75 million to poach. He encouraged Met Fursarico to switch to his own team.

Simon Grayson did not want to complete this transfer, but the player's personal wishes played a decisive role!

The 31-year-old Male Fursarico has been playing for Leeds United for eleven years. For so many years, no matter who the coach of Leeds United is, he has been firmly in the right-back position and has completed the right-wing offense and defense of the "Young Guards" very well. However, as he grew older, Fursarico has matured. This time when the "Gunners" came to poach the corner. After consideration, he decided to give up the good wish of playing football with his old brothers. While winning himself a high salary, he also exchanged for Leeds United for a huge transfer fee. It is a win-win result no matter how you look at it.

What's more, during the warm-up match, Met Fursarico noticed Chen Jinlong's performance. This Spanish Chinese young man performed very calmly on the court and had excellent offensive and defensive abilities, much better than himself back then. In addition, German right-back Tobias, Leeds United would not suffer much loss if he left him. Instead, staying by himself would hinder the development of young people, so... let's leave.

Simon Grayson understands the thoughts of Male Fursarico very well, and the players of Leeds United also understand, so his departure is not only not despised by the players like Phil Jones, but instead makes people feel a little sad.

Shaq had gone to talk to Simon Grayson, but was called back after a few words...

"Shake, I don't want to let the Plums go, but the Plums chose to leave for the benefit of the team. Think about it...Do Chen want to get a chance to play? Does the club want to renew funds? Do you have the heart to watch the Plums not get a high salary in Leeds? So let the Plums leave!"

After Simon Grayson said a few words, Shaq left helplessly. It is true that he is the real boss of the team, but he does not know how to run a football club. He considers the problem more from the perspective of a player, and this is obviously not possible. He can pay for a Plum Fursarico out of his own pocket, but he cannot pay for a team out of his own pocket. The future development of the "Youth Guards" still depends on himself.

In the summer transfer market, Leeds United, under the "brutal Simon", has made a profit. After spending 27 million pounds to buy Du Xiaoguang, Chen Jinlong, Belaqta, Kslov, Diaz and others, by selling Phil Jones, Nelson Oliveira, and Messarico, three veterans over 30 years old, as well as the reserve 22-year-old central defender Nick, Leeds United have recovered up to 43.5 million pounds from the transfer market.

In fact, whether it is Phil Jones or Mets or Firsarico, it is no longer worth the price. However, the competitors in the Premier League have already had a tacit understanding. They must snipe Simon Grayson at all costs, and then they spend a high price to poach people, leaving behind a broken new defense line for the "brutal Simon".

The horror of Shaq and "Brutal Simon" is already well known. If you don't want the "Young Guards" to cause trouble for everyone in the new season, you have to work together.

With Metz and Vlsariko as a role model, some old players who thought it would add burden to the team were all thinking. In just two days, rumors about Swedish winger Pivkovsky's transfer were rampant.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and other teams are all tied to the 29-year-old Swedish star. It seems that every club wants to buy this Swedish big man with excellent skills under his feet.

Simon Grayson didn't care at first, but when several quotes were delivered to his desk in no particular order, he really couldn't sit still. He bought Pifkowski from Blackburn and was the one who did it. At that time, Leeds United spent 3.5 million pounds on Leeds United. Now each offer has the lowest price reach 8.5 million pounds, and Manchester City even gave a price of 9 million pounds.

Could it be... Is this kid Pivkovsky just to help the team?

Simon Grayson sighed in his heart. He believed that the first Plum really chose to leave for the sake of the club's interests, but Pivkovsky... definitely not!

Leeds United is not short of people in the right-back position, and even Chen Jinlong, a very potential rookie, is here. Metz Fursarico's departure really gives new players a chance and brings financial returns to the club. But if Pivkowski leaves, Leeds United will be stretched in the winger position. If he doesn't count the 32-year-old captain Jonny Hausen, Leeds United only has German star Frank Murray, a qualified winger. The 16-year-old young player Alex Lens is too young. The team even needs Ben Parker or Chris Farley to the front.

However, since Pivkovsky was about to leave under the banner of considering the interests of the team, Simon Grayson felt that even if he forced himself to stay, this kid would not be loyal to the team, so he finally chose to let it go. However, the "brutal Simon" still hit the rest of the team in front of Pivkovsky, publicly explaining the current situation of the team's shortage of people. If you really consider it for the interests of the team, you must stick to your position for the stability of the team.

Simon Grayson's words made some people think for a long time, and also made Pivkovsky blush.

In the end, the Swedish star chose to go to Paris Saint-Germain and left the English Premier League directly. He would not have many opportunities to meet old brothers like Leeds United in the future.

Pivkowski's departure made Simon Grayson even more nervous in the arrangement of troops. The team has no shortage of people in the midfield and backcourt, but it is not enough in the frontcourt. But now it needs to hurry up and prepare for the first game of the new season. In the first round, Leeds United will collide with "Blue Moon" Manchester City at home. Although the lineup of the league third place in last season is not as luxurious as in previous years, it is still much better than Leeds United.
