Defeating Fulham 4-2, Southampton stabilized its losing streak in the league. Most importantly, the wonderful performance of the substitutes gave Southampton the best buffer.
Sometimes it is just such a game that the main players are not allowed to have a good rest, so that problems will occur in the subsequent series of performances.
After this game, there is another FIFA match day, so Southampton is temporarily disbanded. When they come back, they will have another league and Champions League competition.
The substitutes performed well, which made Noriya happy but also presented him with a difficult problem.
Fortunately for other substitutes, Chambers is now the main force, and Jenkinson will have more opportunities to play. Whether it is to rotate Klein or play as the third central defender, Luke Shaw has already entered the rotation.
, Austin has been on the front line recently and has performed very well. We can use him more and let Klose rest for a while.
However, it was Prowse who gave Ji Ya a little headache.
Southampton's midfielder is very strong. Schneiderlin and Drinkwater, who are more mature and capable than him, are waiting for opportunities on the bench. In the last game, all three main players were rotated out.
In fact, it's rare. Prowse basically didn't play much last season, and it's not for nothing.
Now that the rotation of Schneiderlin and Drinkwater is enough, and there is still Walton on the last substitute, if Prowse continues to stay and not play games, his progress may stagnate.
And with his current level, playing in the reserve team will not provide any training for him.
So Ji Ya wanted to ask Prowse himself.
When he came to Ji Ya's office, Prowse was a little worried.
"Ward, you are really putting me in a bit of a dilemma now."
Ji Ya didn't let him guess for too long, but directly stated his thoughts, and then paused to give him time to digest.
Prowse calmed down, thought about it carefully, and found that this was really the case.
Although I performed well in the last game, it is rare to be in such an environment.
Once the main lineup is stable, it is difficult for me to get a chance as the last substitute. And even if I play, with people like Matuidi Vidal and Mkhitaryan around, how many chances do I have to be able to compete with the previous game?
That way, you can get the ball more, control the ball more, organize more, pass the ball more, and even take free kicks?
These tasks are all done by the main players, and the substitutes often come on the field just to work hard.
But his characteristic is that he is not a hard worker. Strictly speaking, he is a core midfielder.
He can get up and down, has plenty of stamina, has good foot skills, can break through with the ball, and can distribute the ball. At the same time, he has a pretty good cross and free kick ability.
No matter how you look at it, this is a core template.
But letting such a young man serve as the core among players like Matuidi, Vidal, Mkhitaryan, or even Schneiderlin and Drinkwater? That would be a bit of a joke...
So even if he is strong enough now, it will be difficult for Ji Ya to praise him immediately. This is related to an issue of status within the team.
The current core of the midfield is Vidal, and Mkhitaryan will serve as the core of the offense. Both of them are older than Prowse, and their strength is better than him, not to mention that they are also very senior.
Yes, under such circumstances, Prowse really has no chance.
"So I thought about it and decided that it would be best to loan you to a team where you can play as the main force. Of course it's not League One. It would be a pity to be in League One with your current strength." Ji Ya said.
Prowse nodded and felt relieved. He was really worried that Ji Ya would loan him out to Stevenage. This team is now a partner of Southampton. After being relegated from the English League last season, this season
Continue to complete the great cause of relegation in League One.
"In fact, it is also a relatively famous team... You know Leicester City, they have been in the English Championship for many years, and they have been in the middle of the pack before. This season they rented Jamie and performed well, so now they need
A better midfielder, I made an agreement with them, as long as you work harder, you can play in the game." Noriya said.
Ji Ya also worked hard for Vardy's loan this summer. It must be too wasteful in English League One. Vardy scored 20 goals in English League One last season and performed quite well. So after searching around, he found
To Leicester City, their head coach Nigel Pearson was looking for a scorer, so the two sides hit it off. Kiya sold Vardy to Leicester City for one million pounds, but the contract
There is a clause in the agreement that gives Southampton the right to buy him back for three million pounds within two years.
This buy-back clause is actually a bit bullying, but now that Southampton is well-known and Leicester City is still playing in the English Championship, we can only agree to it.
Noriya is prepared to use the same method to treat Prowse. In fact, if this approach can continue, it will become a profitable thing for Southampton to train young players in the future - they will not be used.
Sell it and buy it back if it performs well, which is equivalent to paying training fees.
This kind of thing can only be used by Real Madrid-level giants, but it is a good thing that Southampton has such an agreement with teams in the lower leagues of England.
After thinking about it for a while, Prowse agreed. Although the transfer market has been closed, it is the transfer market of the Premier League. The transfer market of England's lower leagues will not be closed until three months before the end of the season.
In fact, it is also to take care of the Premier League teams. After all, they always have some unused players who need to be rented or sold.
After Prowse agreed, Jiya arranged for people to contact Leicester City. Leicester City was also very interested, especially as Prowse performed well in the last Premier League game. Such a player is very important in the Premier League.
There may be something missing, but playing in the English Championship is definitely no problem. In addition, I have had similar cooperation with Southampton before. My knees may hurt a little when I kneel down the first time, but it won't matter the second time.
So it’s the same terms as Vardy, a transfer fee of one million, a buy-back of three million, and a training fee of two million are actually pretty good, at least for the current English Championship team Leicester City.
It's not a low price.
This transfer was completed during the FIFA match day. When the news came out, Southampton fans were shocked. However, with the public opinion guided by the club staff, the fans were relieved.
Anyway, there is a buy-back clause. Prowse is indeed unable to play games now, so loaning him out is also a very good result!
No matter how you look at it, it is a win-win choice. Southampton can let Prowse exercise more, Prowse gets more playing opportunities, and Leicester City's strength has been improved!
