Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

Before the league was over, FC United had already submitted a request to leave the team, Sam. Ashton, Dave. Watson, Lee. Neville, Scott. McManus, Jerome. Wright, Matthew. Wolfenden and other veterans have decided not to renew their contracts with the team, and the club has also let them leave the team freely, and these amateur league-level players have long been unable to keep up with the requirements of FC United's matches, and in the past two years, they have all chosen to stick to FC United, and the club also respects their choice.

Also leaving the team on a free basis was George. Kim, Aaron. Chalmers and Pierre. Suarez, all three of them were not satisfied with the status quo of playing substitutes in the team and chose to leave. Nine players left the team on a free basis, which is already the largest number of departures since Lu Wei became the head coach, but besides them, there are others who are not in Lu Wei's next plan.

Ramir. Shaffer, Ross. Draper, Ruaidri. Higgins and Jack. Although the four McReis are the main players last season, but in Lu Wei's heart, they have been included in the substitute lineup of the League Two, although Shafford is a Tottenham youth academy, the basic skills are very solid, but the strength is mediocre, not enough to take on big responsibilities in the professional arena, Draper and Higgins are the same, it is no problem to play the main force in the amateur league, but the real professional league is far more cruel than the amateur game, the only thing that makes Lu Wei reluctant is McReis, McLace's speed and crosses would be excellent even in League One, but he couldn't find any other advantages in him other than speed and crosses, and the attacking routine was too single. Lu Wei's idea is to stay in the team if they are willing to accept substitute status, and if they do not want to accept substitute, they will put them into the transfer market to seek buyers.

Keefer. Moore and Ben. Thayer is willing to sit on the bench and wait for his chance, while Pope, Jonatão, Tyrone, Robertson, Lucas, Mane and Akinfenwa are the main squads that Lu Wei intends to keep, and the recruitment of the new season will also focus on finding substitutes and rotation players.

But the reality is often not so smooth, while Lu Wei wants to recruit people from other teams, there are also people who want to recruit people from the FC league. Before the transfer market opened, FC United received five offers, namely Burnley's offer of 1 million to buy Nick. Pope, Reading quoted 400,000 to buy Tyrone, Leeds United offered 600,000 to buy Klucas, Sheffield on Wednesday offered 400,000 to buy Mane, and there is Ligue 2 side Reims for 500,000 to buy Jonatão. Cross brought back to France. The outstanding performance of the five of them last season has attracted the attention of the Championship teams, especially Pope and Mane, the record of 21 clean sheets in 46 league games has made Pop appear in the field of vision of all England teams, Mane's performance is even more eye-catching, last season's goals and assists are all 20 figures, if it were not for the African relationship, I am afraid that there would have been Premier League teams who want to poach people.

All of a sudden, the five main players in the team were seen by other teams, and they were all much higher than the offer of the League B players, in other words, other English B teams may not want to directly agree, but Lu Wei's goal is the Premier League, how can he easily agree to sell his core players, the first reaction is to reject the offer altogether, but after calming down, or ask the transfer department whether the club unilaterally offers or a player wants to leave, verify the consequence is that some players submitted a transfer application, Pope decisively chose to leave in the face of the Championship team's offer, and Jonatão also chose to return in the face of the invitation of the home team, only Tyrone, Clukas and Mane did not apply for a transfer, Lu Wei called them to inquire and knew that the three did not know that there was a team that wanted to buy them, but all three expressed to Lu Wei that they had no idea of leaving the team.

Lu Wei made a decision after talking to the five players one by one, agreeing to the transfer applications of Pope and Jonatang, leaving the other three, but the offers of both of them were all rejected, and my players wanted to take it away so easily. Finally, at Lu Wei's behest, Pope moved to Burnley for 1.2 million, and Jonatang returned to France for a transfer fee of 500,000 yuan, receiving 1.7 million pounds in transfer income, which is simply a huge amount of money for a League Two team.

A goalkeeper and a right-back were among the main players, and Schaefer and Higgins also chose to leave after learning that they would be more in the bench next season, and Schaver was taken away by Northwood for $100,000, and Higgins became the core of Mansfield's midfield for a transfer fee of $200,000. Now that there are only 10 players left in the FC United team, and there is no goalkeeper, Lu Wei's pressure has suddenly increased, and it takes a lot of time and energy to find a target for such a large squad.

Lu Wei convened an emergency meeting of all the scouts of the club who are still in Manchester and issued a transfer goal for this summer, and now the only people in the team who meet Lu Wei's main standards are Robertson, Tyrone, Lucas, Mane and Akinfenwa, Lu Wei plans that the scouts' recruitment goals are mainly rotation players, it is better to find players who meet the team's upgrade plan, it doesn't matter if they can't find it, Lu Wei does not want to be able to really upgrade in the first year of the League Two. Although the conditions for promotion to League Two are much more relaxed, there are four promotion places, with the top three promoted directly and the fourth to seventh places competing for another place through the promotion play-offs.

After two days of discussion, Lu Wei and the scouting team finally decided on the transfer direction, and the rest was for the scouts to go to the transfer market to find targets, four players transferred away with a total of 2 million transfer Flauvis smashed into the transfer budget intact, and the deep-pocketed FC United began the player hunt in the summer of 13.

The scouts worked very quickly, after integrating their own information, they screened and sorted out a list of more than 200 people and handed it to Lu Wei's office, the players on the list are all players who have played well in League One and B in previous seasons, and now their contracts have expired, they can sign for free or spend a transfer fee, and they are willing to come to FC United; There is also the list of potential that FC United scouts have examined in the youth teams of teams at all levels, some of them training in big teams but can't play games can be loaned, and some are local small teams that have not been favored by other teams; There is also a list of veterans who have already made some name for themselves but are older and interested in continuing their careers in the lower leagues.

Lu Wei looked at the page after page of introduction in the office, searching for whether there were any familiar names, but page by page were all people he didn't know, but also, in the current information age, people with some ability will not escape the eyes of the scouts of the big teams, young players will also be firmly held in the hands of the giants' youth academy, there are very few players from grassroots backgrounds like Vardy, but the kung fu pays off, When he turned to more than 80 pages, Lu Wei finally saw a familiar face.
