Star Coach

Chapter 422: Still need sponsorship

Ten million pounds, to buy three players, one in the front, one in the middle and one in the back. Now two signings have been completed, Kroos and Cahill have been snatched. The total cost is 6.5 million pounds, which is ridiculously cheap.

Jiangshan is actually very satisfied with Walker and Woodward's operations. He also plans to add the last transfer of the summer.

"Are there any strong players in Eastern European countries in recent years?" Woodward asked quickly, "I think the strongest player is Modric, who is already in our team. Who else can be compared with him?"

"In the forward position, I only remember Shevchenko from Ukraine. Others don't seem to be worth mentioning."

"Ibrahimovic?" Woodward muttered, "No, no, no, it's impossible. Ibrahimovic is Swedish, a Nordic player, and his value is as high as 65 million euros. Only Barcelona will buy him."

Unable to resist Woodward's curious questioning, Jiangshan finally spoke, "Didn't you pay attention to our scout report? Our target is already very clear, Robert Lewandowski."

Lewandowski only transferred to the Polish giant Lech Poznan last year and was elected the best newcomer. It's just that the team performed mediocre last season. It's very difficult to become the Polish Footballer of the Year.

"A little-known guy, are you sure he can adapt to our tactical system? Can he adapt to the Premier League?" Woodward looked through the player's information.

At this time, Lewandowski was tall and thin, and his speed and shooting ability were not very good. Whether he could grow quickly and adapt to the confrontation in the Premier League was really a big problem.

Jiangshan understood Woodward's idea, and anyone would think so. If Jiangshan didn't know how powerful Lewandowski would be in the future, he wouldn't have snatched him at this time.

Doesn't Klopp want to be my opponent? I will dig out the players that Dortmund wants now, and see how you can play. Come to the Premier League as soon as possible, and we can also bring you to create the prosperity of the Premier League.

The negotiation of this transfer was much easier. With the invitation of the Premier League team, or the initiative of the star coach, Lewandowski was immediately moved. Lech Poznan also knew that the players could not be retained.

They are willing to sell people, but the price must be reasonable.

When they took Lewandowski last season, they spent a full transfer fee of 380,000 euros. Although it was not high, Lewandowski has potential!

Woodward began to argue with Lech Poznan. After a few rounds, the two sides reached an agreement. What if you make 10 times more?

The price of 3.8 million euros is almost 3 million pounds, plus the previous 6.5 million pounds, which really keeps the transfer fee of the three people within 10 million pounds.

Woodward was convinced, "We will definitely become the most profitable club in England. Haha... I can't wait to start the new season."

"Whether we can become the most profitable club in England depends on your ability!" Not to mention the broadcasting fees, the sponsorship fees of the team will become the biggest project for West Ham to make money.

In mid-July, the last piece of the puzzle of West Ham was finally built. The next time will be left to Heynckes to train the team well. The goal remains unchanged. In the first season, as long as they enter the Champions League, they will achieve the goal.

As long as the goal is achieved, Heynckes' contract will be automatically extended for one year, and Jiangshan will give the old coach enough respect. Of course, he also plans to use about two years to build a better image of West Ham, and the youth training camp and other infrastructure must keep up.

He has already asked people to prepare for the expansion plan of Upton Park. In Jiangshan's mind, the team must have its own stadium.

He knew that in the last life, West Ham took over the Olympic Stadium in London, which was the main venue of the London Olympics, with a lease period of 100 years. The problem of the home stadium was solved, but the income was lost and the naming rights were gone.

Upton Park now has only about 35,000 seats, and the attendance rate is quite high. As long as the team's performance improves, the seats in the stadium will definitely be in short supply, and expansion will be the general trend at that time.

Increasing to about 60,000 seats is an income, plus the considerable naming rights. In a few years, Jiangshan is sure that all the expansion costs will be digested.

Most importantly, he vaguely remembers England's rough plan for East London. In the future, the East London plot where West Ham is located will become a commercial center like the Financial City. At this time, occupying a good location, West Ham's status in London will also soar.

"Do we still want to go back to our old business?" Jiang Shan looked at the map. "There are still a lot of vacant land in East London. Why don't I buy some and keep them?" At least, Jiang Shan must take the land near the stadium. Future expansion is one of them. The youth training center and commercial carriers all need land.

Jiang Shan prepared 100 million pounds to buy and operate the team, but he only used his salary and bonus from selling his house and working. He still has a lot of assets. His investment in China has basically not been touched. The profit in the stock market has also reached tens of millions.

In the case of being unpopular, it is completely feasible to buy land in East London. He even plans to hold shares in Northumbrian Water Company. Li Chaoren seems to be buying it in the near future!

After the players were purchased, the team's lineup has undergone tremendous changes.

Heynckes is quite satisfied with Jiang Shan's operation. "I have the confidence and determination to enter the Champions League next season. I am sure."

On the forward line, Lewandowski was added, the midfield changed the most, and the degree of reinforcement was the best. David Silva and Reus were two sharp wingers, Modric and Kroos were in the middle; on the back line, Cahill, Hummels, Glen Johnson, plus De Gea in the goalkeeper position, Jiangshan felt refreshed.

"I will vigorously train De Gea, and he will play in the cup." Heynckes also gave Jiangshan face and promised to train De Gea, "But I admire you very much. De Gea is still so young. You can arrange special personnel for training. If he can play well, he will definitely trust the team."

As for the team's deployment, Jiangshan will not interfere in any way. Even if the team continues to lose, Jiangshan has agreed to support Heynckes, give him the most relaxed coaching space, and give him the best coaching support.

"In the winter transfer window, I will give you about 10 million pounds. If there are players who need to be added, just ask and I will try my best to buy them for you." Jiang Shan promised again and again, waiting for Heynckes to win the Champions League quota.

The Champions League quota still belongs to the four major giants. Manchester City is eyeing it covetously, but has not been able to rush in. The pressure is huge. Now with West Ham, the competition for the Champions League quota is even more intense.

"Next, let's get sponsorship together!" Jiang Shan smiled at Woodward. If the team wants to make money and generate blood, sponsorship is an indispensable part.
