Tong Yi continued to browse the information in his hand.
The only remaining players on the defense from last season are center back Padraic McCarthy, left back Dean Mossy, left and right full back Jonathan Parr and right back David Wright.
Among them, Padric McCarthy joined Crystal Palace from Charlton in 2008. He was appointed as the team's captain in the 2010-2011 season. Until now, he has been the main player since joining the team. Except for the time of injury, he has basically never missed Crystal Palace.
In the game, he is a trustworthy member of Crystal Palace's line-up.
However, his situation is not very good now.
McCarthy suffered a serious groin injury. Although he has undergone surgery, he is still recovering from the injury. Team doctor Manos and doctors at the hospital checked and said that McCarthy will miss the entire new season.
This is not a good thing for Crystal Palace.
Dean Mossy joined Crystal Palace in early 2011. He is a versatile player on the left wing and can play left back, left midfielder, left winger, and even center back. He is the team's main left back and was replaced at the end of last season.
Was appointed as the third captain of the team. ??
This guy is not bad, and the team needs a versatile player, Tong Yi.
It is said that Friedman is very satisfied with him and is planning to take him to Bolton Wanderers. Now, the transfer offer for Mossi is still on the desk of the club's transfer department.
Obviously, Tong Yi is not willing to sell this guy.
Such a versatile player is what many teams lack.
Jonathan Parr, the Norwegian international, can play as a left or right full-back or as a left midfielder, and he mostly plays as a left midfielder. However, last season, he was often used by Friedman.
Arranged at left back and right back positions.
This was Fred's absolute main force last season. He played 45 games in all competitions and scored 2 goals, which was very good.
Tong Yi is also planning to meet this guy to see what his strength is?
The last one is David Wright!
This is a right back who is already a 32-year-old veteran. He has gradually faded out of the Crystal Palace roster. He didn’t have many chances to play last season. He was mostly on the bench, but he didn’t
There are too many opportunities.
For this one, Tong Yi is ready to transfer him, and can even terminate the contract in advance and let him leave freely. Without transfer fees, it will be easier for him to find a job.
In addition to these personnel, Crystal Palace introduced a player on May 28 this year.
This player is Joel Ward. Portsmouth also encountered a financial crisis this summer, and Crystal Palace only spent 400,000 pounds to introduce him. He is 188cm tall and is a versatile player on the defense line who can play at the back.
He can play in all positions on the defensive line and can also play as a defensive midfielder and right midfielder.
More importantly, Tong Yi knows this guy!
In Tong Yi's memory
Starting from 2013, after Crystal Palace was promoted to the Premier League until 2022, Joel Ward was still the main player of Crystal Palace, playing about 25 times in a single Premier League season all year round, or even more.
This is a very outstanding player, his strength is at the level of a mid-table player in the Premier League.
Spending 400,000 pounds to bring him in at this time is really a huge profit.
Tong Yi feels that Ward should be able to occupy a very important position in Crystal Palace in the new season.
This is the current situation in the defense of Crystal Palace's first team.
To be honest, it’s a bit terrible!
At present, Tong Yi still needs to introduce at least two to three central defenders, at least one left back and one right back. And this is at least, and even more need to be introduced!
After all, the English Championship only has to play 46 rounds in a season. If you add the League Cup and FA Cup, there will be at least 50 games in that competition. If you don’t prepare more personnel, you may not be able to survive this season.
If someone gets injured midway through the season, it will be even more difficult.
Therefore, signing up for the new season is a big project for Crystal Palace!
Tong Yi rubbed his temples and glanced at the other people in the office. Others were also looking down at the information in their hands. The expressions of these guys were also very solemn. Everyone could see it. Now the Crystal Palace
The situation is really very bad.
Tong Yi shook his head slightly and continued reading.
Next is the situation in the midfield. There are currently 4 people left in the midfield. They are South Africa international defensive midfielder Kagiso Dickagakoi, Australian international defensive midfielder Michael Jedinak,
Former Ireland U21 international Owen Gavin and Wales U21 international Jonathan Williams.
Dickagakoy came to Crystal Palace on a lease and then purchase in 2011. After joining the team, he gradually established himself as the team's main midfielder. He performed well last season, scoring 2 goals in 31 appearances.
.
This is a player with strong defensive ability and the ability to shoot from long range, but not very strong.
He is a qualified midfielder and tough defensive player.
If he stays, there will still be a place for him in Tong Yi's team.
Not to mention Jedinak. This is one of the current treasures of the Crystal Palace team. After joining the team in 2011, he directly became the team's main midfielder and even the core of the midfield. He played for the team last season.
He scored 3 goals in 38 games and performed well.
Tong Yi also knew about this guy, and Jedinak would still have some reputation in later generations.
He has been the main force in the Premier League all year round. By the time he left Crystal Palace in 2017, he had played a total of 178 times for Crystal Palace and scored 10 goals. And he later also joined the team.
He joined Aston Villa and is definitely the main player in the mid-table of the Premier League.
If this guy stays, he will definitely become the main player of Crystal Palace!
In the new season, Tong Yi must trust him.
Owen Gavin joined the team in July 2010, with a transfer fee of 150,000 pounds at the time. After coming to the team, he put on the No. 10 jersey and played 28 games in the first season and 10 games in the second season.
In 23 games, he scored 3 goals in both seasons, making him an important rotation player for the team.
This guy was probably not very talented, and it turned out that he was not able to establish himself in the Premier League. After that, he had to hang out in the English Championship and League One all year round, and even had to return to the Irish League.
This guy will stay in the new season and will also be a substitute player for the team.
However, it is still a mistake to be a substitute at present.
The team will bring in so many people in the new season, and Tong Yi won't let him go just yet. It's good to stay in the team to supplement the staff.
The last one is Jonathan Williams. This is one of the current young talents of Crystal Palace. He came from the Crystal Palace youth training and is an authentic Crystal Palace native. He was born in 1993 and is not yet 20 years old. He played for Crystal Palace last season.
He has played 18 times in the league and will be selected for the Welsh national team. The head coach of the Welsh national team is full of praise for him. ??
However, in Tong Yi's opinion, this guy's talent is not very strong.
Later, he failed to gain a foothold in the Premier League. He only played 12 games in the Premier League in 4 seasons, and then he stayed in the English Championship and League One all year round.
Not even Gavin can catch up with this one.
Tong Yi will give him certain opportunities in the new season, but they won't be too many. It depends on whether he can seize them.
This is the current situation in Crystal Palace's midfield.
To be honest, it's very bad, even worse than the situation on the back line.
This summer, Tong Yi will introduce at least four to six players in the midfield, or even more.
Tong Yi can't stand it now.
Why!
At this time, Tong Yi heard the members of the coaching staff sighing.
There is no way, the current situation of the Crystal Palace team is really bad.
Tong Yi shook his head and continued reading until only the last bit of content was left.
Currently, there are only two players left on the front line of the Crystal Palace first team, one is Wilfried Zaha, and the other is Glenn Murray.
Needless to say, Zaha is a super talent who emerged from the Crystal Palace youth academy!
In later generations, this name is also well-known. There have been transfer scandals with giants such as Manchester United all the time. Zaha even joined Manchester United. However, he did not play at Manchester United, but after returning to Crystal Palace, his performance was very good, attracting people again.
A lot of wealthy families are paying attention.
r>
Zaha is now the main player of Crystal Palace. He played 44 times in the 2010-2011 season. In the 2011-2012 season, he played 48 times, scored 9 goals and provided 5 assists. As a result, he attracted the attention of Manchester United.
Now Manchester United is paying attention to him and has even made multiple offers.
This is the genius of Crystal Palace, and Tong Yi has no plans to send him away for the time being.
The last player is Glenn Murray, who only joined Crystal Palace last season. He was personally introduced by former coach Friedman and is Friedman’s favorite. Last season, he scored
The team played 43 times and scored 7 goals.
However, Tong Yi also heard of this guy's name in later generations.
Because in Tong Yi's memory, this guy will cause an explosion in this upcoming season. He will play 45 times for Crystal Palace this season and score 31 goals. He will play 42 times in the league and score 30 goals.
He was the number one contributor to Crystal Palace's promotion to the Premier League.
Since then, this player has also performed well in the Premier League.
Especially in the seasons between 2017 and 2019, he returned to Brighton and scored 14 and 15 goals in the Premier League respectively.
Therefore, he is also the main shooter of a mid-to-lower Premier League team.
It would be great for this guy to stay at Crystal Palace.
This is the current situation of Crystal Palace's forward line. Although these two are good, it is obvious that there are still not enough personnel. Tong Yi still needs to introduce three to four players on the front line this summer.
So, overall, Tong Yi will introduce about 13 players this summer.
This is a big project, it is simply a reorganization of the Crystal Palace team.
Moreover, Tong Yi also saw some news from Fleming's report, that is, Friedman, who had just left Crystal Palace, still values Glenn Murray very much. Now that he has gone to Bolton Wanderers, he also
Prepare to bring Glenn Murray to Bolton Wanderers.
According to Fleming, Friedman's offer will arrive on Tong Yi's desk in the next few days.
Tong Yi frowned.
To be honest, Team Tongyi still values the Glenn Murray very much. If I remember correctly, Glenn Murray will explode in the next season. He will score 31 goals in a single season and become the first player in the Premier League.
The top scorer in the Champions League led Crystal Palace to promotion to the Premier League.
To be honest, Tong Yi doesn't want Murray to leave. Even if he wants to leave, he will wait until the end of the next season and then sell the forward at a high price!
Because Tong Yi also knows very well that Murray's performance in the first few seasons after being promoted to the Premier League was actually not very good, and he did not score many goals. He still had to spend a lot of time to adapt to the Premier League, but Crystal Palace obviously
We can't give him such a long time, so selling Murray after the end of next season is the best option.
Now, he is reluctant to sell Murray to Friedman.
