The English media always likes to talk about things that are not true, but Noriya only released true and false news a few times. The news that the other three giants also intervened in the competition for Southampton players spread all over the sky.
So Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal are a little anxious.
Liverpool needs to add center backs. Tottenham will compete in the Champions League next season and must strengthen its midfield. Arsenal needs to introduce Giroud to have better confidence to deal with the transfer of Robin van Persie to Manchester United.
The teams in the Premier League are actually inextricably linked to each other. Except for Liverpool and Manchester United, who really don’t have any player exchanges, other teams will still buy people when they should, even if they beat each other’s brains out.
So they all started to speed up, which gave Southampton's negotiators the upper hand.
In the end, Southampton cashed out more than 50 million pounds on these three players - Liverpool spent 15 million pounds on Lovren, and Tottenham was ruthlessly ripped off by Southampton.
Well, they spent a full 22 million pounds to sign Dembele, while Arsenal introduced Giroud for 19 million pounds...
Southampton made a net profit of 42 million pounds in the transfer market.
"Take 20 million of it to repay part of the loan and reduce the annual interest expenses...and use another 20 million to invest in the youth training camp and tell George that the plan can start slowly now." Ji Ya told Jones.
explain.
Jones nodded. Both tasks are important to Southampton. Reducing debt can reduce expenditures each season and avoid deficits. The advancement of the black box plan also requires a large amount of funds. Now, with only 20 million, only
This is just the first phase of funds.
"Aren't you leaving some more working capital?" Jones only asked.
"No need... last season our Premier League broadcast fee sharing alone added up to 57 million. Next season we will have supplementary income from the Champions League. We should still have plenty of cash, and there will be no capital chain."
Broken." Ji Ya shook his head.
Jones nodded. He was very familiar with the club's economy. There was still a lot of liquidity and there was no problem in supporting the club's expenses.
A club's expenses cannot be covered by transfer fees. The first team's salary expenses are the largest part, as well as the salaries of all staff, the maintenance and expenses of various facilities. If there is not enough liquidity in the account, the money cannot be paid.
Come, the morale of the whole team will collapse.
Southampton's previous problems were mainly due to economic problems, weren't they?
This summer, Noriya is mainly focusing on stability. Apart from the introduction of Otamendi and Benteke, he will not make any unnecessary moves. Other players are also relatively stable, including last season's substitutes.
In fact, Southampton's midfield substitutes seemed a bit luxurious last season. Schneiderlin, Drinkwater and Mkhitaryan's substitute lineup was capable of playing the main role even if they were placed in the middle of the Premier League.
Dembele's departure just gives them a certain amount of space, allows them to get more playing opportunities, and also allows them to stabilize their mentality.
After all, Ji Ya is still very optimistic about them. Under Southampton's good training environment, they have made rapid progress and will definitely become Southampton's important players in the future.
To play in the Champions League in the new season, of course the team still focuses on stability - in fact, this is also the key to why many players are willing to stay.
"Southampton continue to cash out this summer. They have made more than 40 million pounds in the transfer market this season! I have to say that Jiya is indeed an excellent manager. He is always able to cultivate outstanding players.
players, and then sell them for a profit. His signings are also very targeted. Neither Otamendi nor Benteke spent much money on them. I think if Pogba hadn't talked to Juventus earlier,
If things go well, they will also intervene in Pogba's transfer..." some media commented.
This is true. Ji Ya really thought about getting Pogba for free, but Mendes told him not to think about it. Pogba had actually reached an agreement with Juventus as early as half a year ago.
Manchester City's current technical director, former Arsenal, Juventus and Inter Milan star Vieira, played a role in this. He strongly recommended Pogba to Juventus, saying that he could play very comfortably there.
Otherwise, with such a young and outstanding midfielder, Ji Ya would really like to stay.
But he doesn't regret it either. In his opinion, both Schneiderlin and Drinkwater are also outstanding!
This summer's European Cup, Spain finally won the championship. Italy eliminated Germany, but lost miserably to Spain in the final. Spain created the great miracle of defending the European Cup championship and winning a World Cup championship in the middle. It was also officially announced in the past
In these four years, Spain has been a well-deserved dynasty!
Joining them on the altar is Barcelona.
Barcelona failed to reach the Champions League final last season, but it did not detract from their greatness.
This makes everyone look forward to the Champions League in the new season - in addition to Barcelona, which is making a comeback, there is also Southampton, which has been invincible in the Europa League for the past two seasons. They will participate in the Champions League for the first time.
What magical performance is there?
"Qualifying the group means victory." Noriya said to Benali privately.
"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Benali was a little surprised.
"Why is it not so exaggerated? Think about how Manchester City has been played by those guys from UEFA in recent years... Although we are not as exaggerated as Manchester City in spending money, our performance is too eye-catching. UEFA will definitely
To suppress us." Ji Ya said.
"Then we can only pray that we are placed in a decent group." Benali said with a wry smile.
He was mentally prepared for what Noriya said. After all, the Champions League or European competitions are like this. Newcomers will always be attacked, let alone the Champions League. When Southampton played in the Europa League last season, no
Is this how you get through the death group and encountering strong teams?
It’s just to make it more difficult for newcomers so that they can be in awe of this game.
Everyone knows this routine.
And for Southampton, their training time this season will be relatively short - the first round of the new Premier League season will start on August 18th, and the European Cup competition will only end on July 2nd. Although
Southampton does not have players from Spain and Italy, but there are still many players participating in the group stage and knockout stages of the European Cup.
Therefore, Southampton's training camp starts on July 15th. At that time, not all players will be able to come to the team to participate in the training camp. Some players who participated in the European Cup will definitely come later.
