Chapter 141 Final Perfection (Part 2)

After hearing that Romedal and Hargreaves were fine, George relaxed. With the addition of the two of them, George's midfield was basically complete. Although these two people could not become the main force of Blackburn after coming to the Premier League. But they can effectively supplement Blackburn's lineup.

There are many games in England, and the intensity of the games is completely incomparable to that of the lower-level leagues. Therefore, there must be a matching lineup thickness.

Now waiting for Hyypia's letter, but George has no time to delay here. Because there is another person George needs to meet in person. He just finished the World Cup with the Dutch team. This Dutch team performed well, especially their offense was widely praised by the world.

And George's target is a player in this Dutch team, Van Bronckhorst from Feyenoord.

Van Bronckhorst played for Feyenoord, one of the three major Dutch giants at this time. At this time, Van Bronckhorst played as a defensive midfielder in Feyenoord. Van Bronckhorst, who just finished the World Cup journey, is definitely a hot commodity.

Although George had contacted Van Bronckhorst's agent early, he had postponed it until now because he was going to the World Cup. But now there is another club chasing Van Bronckhorst, the Glasgow Rangers from Scotland.

Other competitors are not to be feared, only Glasgow Rangers have some troubles. Because Glasgow Rangers is not only a giant in the Scottish league, but more importantly, they have just changed a coach, that is, the famous Dutch coach Advocat.

Advocat has just arrived at Glasgow Rangers and become their new head coach.

The Dutch coach wants to bring Van Bronckhorst to the new club. As a famous Dutch coach, Advocat has a far greater advantage than George. Of course, George is not without advantages, that is, Blackburn is a Premier League team, and it is a club that just won the Premier League championship three years ago.

Although George knows that Van Bronckhorst is worth a lot, George still decided to introduce him.

Most of the players George introduced in Blackburn are not well-known players. Even the 24- and 25-year-olds such as Makelele, Pires and Miku are only famous in France. And Hyypia is only slightly famous in the Netherlands, and no one knows him in England.

Therefore, George hopes to introduce a slightly famous player, and the candidate George chooses is Van Bronckhorst. Although Van Bronckhorst is not very famous, he is a player of the Dutch national team after all. He is more famous than any other player George has introduced, so George is determined to get Van Bronckhorst.

"Giovanni, I won't talk nonsense. Our club is in the process of reconstruction now, and the club needs you." Van Bronckhorst is now one of the hot commodities, and George has no intention of talking nonsense with him. "I also told you how our club became famous in the Premier League. Now the club owner is willing to invest money. I think you should understand the club's ambition."

In fact, although Jack Walker fully supports George, the transfer fee of 10 million pounds in the summer is not particularly high in the Premier League. Chelsea is ready to pay more than 10 million pounds to buy Sutton alone. But George certainly couldn't tell Van Bronckhorst directly.

In the European football world where money is rampant, being willing to invest money is actually an attitude.

"I know Advocat is inviting you, but you should know that the Scottish League is actually not as good as the Dutch League. Although Glasgow Rangers is very strong, you have the opportunity to participate in European competitions. But in the European League, their strength is just for fun. It will definitely be more advantageous to go to the Premier League than to the Scottish League."

In the current situation, George has only three points to attract players.

The first and most important point is that Blackburn is a Premier League team. With the development of the Premier League, the Premier League has become a brand. Although Blackburn is weak, the overall strength of the Premier League is strong. And there are several strong teams in the Premier League, plus the development of the English media. As long as the strength is sufficient and the performance is good enough, there is no worry about not having a chance to stand out in the Premier League.

Another point is that although Blackburn's performance is not good now, it was at least the Premier League champion three years ago. Many people in the English football world know Blackburn clearly, but these people outside are not clear. George's words that Blackburn was the Premier League champion three years ago are still very attractive to those who don't understand the development of English football.

Finally, Blackburn has a steel tycoon behind it. And this steel tycoon is also a generous boss. He once used money to pile up a Premier League championship in England. This shows that Blackburn is not short of money.

In fact, Jack Walker's wealth is far from being comparable to that of Abramovich later, but even with his current worth, it is more than enough to run a Premier League club.

These things are still very attractive to other people outside the English football world.

"Coach Levy, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

…………

After meeting Van Bronckhorst and Hyypia, George left the Netherlands directly. Now that everything that should be done has been done, George can only wait for news.

There are still a lot of things waiting for George in the club now. Especially after dealing with so many players, George needs to appease the players who stayed. If George now has Ferguson's achievements, George would not carry out such a big purge.

George is now cleaning them up, of course, in order to free up transfer fees and salary structure. But another reason is that with George's current achievements, they can't suppress them at all. They won't be convinced by George, after all, most of them are players who have won the Premier League.

Therefore, George has two reasons, so he cleaned up most of the players. But George has to appease the Blackburn players who stayed. There are even some players who have had grudges with George.

Of course, after returning to England, George did not talk to them immediately. Instead, he learned about the information of the player transfer and the situation of the Blackburn youth team.

On the third day after George returned to England, he heard two good news. Hyypia and Van Bronckhorst were both willing to transfer to Blackburn. That's easy to say, George asked Richard Flynn to complete this transfer.

Richard Flynn's actions were also very fast, of course, it would not be fast. It is already mid-July, and the team training day is not far away. And because Blackburn has cleared too many players this time, they need to gather early for training.

Hyypia is not a big problem. Willem II can't resist after throwing two million pounds. He quickly got Hyypia.

At the same time, Richard also got Romedal of PSV Eindhoven. Romedal is just a rookie in the Eredivisie. Therefore, although PSV Eindhoven is optimistic about Romedal, it did not embarrass Blackburn. Blackburn finally took away the Danish right winger for only 1.7 million pounds.

Van Bronckhorst is not cheap. He cost Blackburn 5.8 million pounds. He is the most expensive player Blackburn spent this year, exceeding Pires' previous 5.5 million pounds.

So George spent nearly 10 million pounds just after returning to England. George has already spent more than 23 million pounds in the summer transfer. George has been a coach for three years, and he has never spent so much money.

Of course, with the transfer of some other players, including Deco, and some small transfers, this number will continue to rise. If it weren't for Chris Sutton's transfer fee of more than 10 million pounds, George would not have such a good hand.
