Chapter 269 Veteran (Part 2)

If George buys a left back, Daniel is the best choice. But now Daniel refuses, although it is within George's expectations, but George is still very regretful.

If Daniel can be bought, then Blackburn's two wingers will be the best wingers in the world.

The left side composed of Daniel and Pires, and the right side composed of Sagnol and Duff can attack and defend. Even facing Real Madrid and Milan, they will not be at a disadvantage on the wing. It's a pity for Daniel...

George was a little disappointed that he failed to buy Daniel. But George has other options.

There are still many good players in the world of left back. Of course, as a small club, George, who is a little petty, first set his sights on the familiar Ligue 1. Ligue 1 players are the representatives of good quality and low price in European football. When George chooses players, he always unconsciously turns his attention to France.

Now there is a new star in the Ligue 1.

Although he has only played as a main player for one season, he is already the most dazzling left back in Ligue 1. He is a new star in Monaco, which won the Ligue 1 championship last season. And he was the main left back of Monaco last season.

He is the Norwegian player John Riise.

Riise is no stranger to any Premier League fan. For the Liverpool fans, he will never be forgotten.

Riise is only 20 years old now. He just played as a main player in Monaco last season and performed well. Many Premier League clubs have already set their sights on him, including Liverpool's Houllier, who is also very interested in Riise.

There are also Fulham and Leeds United, who now want to bring Riise to England.

Riise himself also expressed his desire to leave Monaco, which made Monaco coach Pierre very angry. Pierre is a representative of young coaches in French football. He started coaching a French Ligue 1 giant like Monaco at the age of 38. And in his first season as a coach, he led Monaco to win the French Ligue 1 championship.

It can be said that Pierre's coaching career is very smooth.

Therefore, the young Pierre could not tolerate Riise's public announcement that he would leave Monaco. However, the Premier League clubs that want to introduce Riise are very happy.

So soon, various offers for Riise came to Monaco.

The most active one was Leeds United. They offered Riise 4 million pounds. However, Monaco insisted on 6 million pounds, which was 2 million pounds less than Leeds United's 4 million pounds. Now the two sides are still in a stalemate.

At this time, Blackburn suddenly entered. Although they had played in the French Ligue 1 for a season, they were young players who were not fully mature yet, and Leeds United's 4 million pounds was not a small amount. After all, the value of Ligue 1 players has never been high, and Riise is just a defender.

Leeds United did not continue to raise the price because they had Ian Hart. Leeds United thought it was too risky to buy Riise, a player who had not proven himself in the Premier League, at too high a price. But George had no time to wait, and would not hesitate like Leeds United.

So as soon as George intervened in Riise's transfer, he directly offered 4.5 million pounds.

Seeing George's intervention, Leeds United immediately backed down. Now everyone knows that Blackburn has money, having just won the League Cup last season. It is rumored that Jack Walker is very happy and generous in the transfer fee. He is willing to invest a huge amount of money to build a strong Blackburn.

And so far this season, Blackburn has sold four people. The income from player transfers has exceeded 20 million pounds before spending any money. Therefore, Blackburn is now truly not short of money.

Leeds United does not want to compete with Blackburn for money, and they cannot compete with Blackburn. So when they saw Blackburn intervene and the first shot was 4.5 million pounds, they backed off.

Fulham, on the other hand, had been honest as early as when Leeds United broke out. Fulham, still in the low-level league, what can they use to compete with Leeds United.

And Houllier is currently powerless.

Houllier is making a big transformation of Liverpool. The positions involved are from forwards to midfielders and defenders. There are no less than ten players rumored to be with Liverpool. Houllier has already introduced Hyypia for 13.5 million pounds, and then introduced Nick Barmby from Everton, the city's arch-rival, for another 6 million pounds.

Less than a month after the start of the transfer period, Liverpool has made big moves. Introducing two players in succession has cost 20 million pounds. And this is not the end, Houllier's actions are not over.

Everyone has seen the determination of the old giants Liverpool. They are ready to rise again. But Houllier knows his own business. The current transfer fee is already insufficient. It is unrealistic to compete with Blackburn for Riise.

Therefore, only Blackburn is left in the end.

George's order to Richard is very simple. That is, he must see Riise in his own Blackburn next season. Six million pounds is not too much, and how much money can be cut depends on Richard's own ability.

George still trusts Richard very much. This person is very capable.

Sure enough, after a verbal battle with Monaco, Blackburn won John Riise for 4.9 million pounds.

Riise is unwilling to stay in Monaco because he thinks Monaco's stage is too small. In fact, he prefers to go to Liverpool. In the European football world, the name of Liverpool is a living signboard. But who would have known him at Blackburn if they hadn't won the League Cup last season?

However, Blackburn is a bigger stage than Monaco, so Riise reluctantly accepted Blackburn's pursuit.

If George knew Riise's thoughts, he would definitely vomit blood. Damn, buying you is a compliment to you!

Of course, George's actions are not over. After getting Riise, George immediately got another veteran. This time, Houllier was very angry again. Because George was the target of Liverpool.

Gary McAllister, a 35-year-old veteran.

There has always been no shortage of old monsters in the world of football. For example, Adams and Keown of Arsenal played until they were over 35 years old. And Manchester United's current main players Scholes and Giggs are also famous old monsters in the future.

And Gary McAllister is a player who gets better with age.

Gary McAllister plays as a midfielder and can also play as a winger. When he was young, he led Leeds United to win the last English First Division title, and the peak of his football career was when he transferred to Liverpool at the age of 35 and helped Liverpool win five championships.

During his two years at Liverpool, he was cheered by all the fans at Anfield. It is absolutely a miracle that a 35-year-old veteran can succeed in a giant like Liverpool.

Blackburn needs such a player now. Therefore, George snatched McAllister under Houllier's nose.

McAllister is a free agent, and he has been talking to Liverpool very well. He is also very satisfied with Liverpool's sincerity and is ready to sign with Liverpool. Unfortunately, George intervened and gave McAllister conditions that he could not refuse.

First of all, Liverpool has no European competitions, not even the League Cup. But Blackburn is different. Blackburn can play in the Champions League. This is a great temptation for McAllister. Veterans like McAllister now want honor. What a great temptation it is to be able to play in the Champions League.

Then George directly gave McAllister a two-year contract.

Although Houllier likes McAllister, McAllister is already 35 years old. Houllier has doubts about his condition, so he only gave McAllister a one-year contract. McAllister had no objection to the one-year contract, because even McAllister himself was not absolutely sure of himself.

But George did not hesitate and directly gave the 35-year-old veteran a two-year contract.

As soon as the two conditions came out, McAllister talked to Houllier first. But in the end, he chose Blackburn.

When the report of Blackburn signing McAllister came out, everyone was surprised. If Blanc is chosen, it is understandable. After all, although Blanc will be 35 years old in a few months, Blanc's condition is still good, and he is still the main central defender of the French national team.

And he was also the main central defender of Inter Milan last season, and his performance was also good. Giving Blanc a two-year contract is not too risky.

But McAllister is already 35 years old, and he will be 36 years old in another half a year. And he is not as good as Blanc, so George gave such a player a two-year contract. Many people don't understand. They think George is taking too much risks.

"George has always liked young players the most. In his team, young talents are the most abundant. But I don't know why George is so crazy that he is so interested in veterans all of a sudden."

"Last season, Davor Suker and Henning Berg may have made George taste the sweetness. That's why he was so impulsive and gave McAllister a two-year contract."

"But I want to say that this is wrong. Davor Suker and Henning Berg are both just over 30 years old. McAllister is already 35 years old, and there is no comparison at all. Even if you appreciate McAllister, you can give him a one-year contract, and if he performs well, you can add another year."

"But now George is directly on a two-year contract, which is really too risky."

Most newspapers hold this view. They believe that a 35-year-old veteran should be given a one-year contract. Then decide whether to renew the contract based on performance. Instead of giving a two-year contract directly like this.

But George just laughed off these comments.

"They have no idea of ​​McAllister's ability or his potential. McAllister is not only 35 years old now, he can play until he is 40."

"As long as McAllister is willing, I am willing to let him continue to play in my club. I will keep kicking him until he feels tired."

I definitely don't mean to take TJ. Yesterday was a hard failure, and the power was cut off in our area. The power was restored this morning. I can't control this kind of thing.

In the summer, there are always a few annoying power outages here.

I apologize to the readers again.
