After a conversation, Cotterill's impression of Su Yun changed slightly.
But it's just a little bit.
Any coach who comes to a new club will be ambitious and have plans of one kind or another. But this does not mean that he will be successful. In the end, success still requires hard power.
"By the way, Coach Cotterill and Coach Reed should have some plans when he is here. Does he have any goals for the summer transfer market?" Su Yun will not underestimate Peter Reed at all.
.
Peter Reid's coaching career so far has been very successful.
Whether it was his initial coaching at Manchester City or his coaching at Sunderland, Peter Reid's dismissal was just due to his bad luck.
"Yes, there is, but..."
Every coach has a different approach to coaching. And when many coaches come to a new club, they want to completely deny everything the original coach did.
"Can you tell me too."
Su Yun did this not only because of Peter Reid's gaze, but also because Sunderland is a very formal club. When Su Yun and Newcastle were complaining about each other, Newcastle once said that they were a formal club.
Although Su Yun laughed at Newcastle.
But what Newcastle said is absolutely correct. The biggest difference between a regular football club and a club like Dagenham is that their various departments are very complete. This is the case with Sunderland.
Although Sunderland's scouting system is not as good as that of the English giants, it still has its unique features.
If Peter Reid wants to make any moves in the summer, then Sunderland's transfer department will definitely have sent out scouts early to follow up.
It is impossible for Su Yun to personally take action for every player.
Therefore, you need to trust the capabilities of other departments of the club, especially the scouting system.
"good."
Cotterill was very happy because Su Yun was broader-minded than he thought.
“Peter’s favorite is Watford’s Kevin Phillips.”
"Kevin Phillips?"
His name is also included in the player list collected by Su Yun. However, Su Yun has no plans to introduce him. Su Yun is planning to promote Sunderland youth training player Michael Bridges in the new season.
But I didn't expect Peter Reed to be interested in him.
Kevin Phillips is very good and has good potential. But when Watford played against Dagenham, Phillips didn't perform well. Su Yun didn't take it to heart.
"Well. Peter likes Kevin Phillips very much, and the club has been scouting him for a long time. If he hadn't been injured last year, maybe Peter would have introduced him last year."
"Put it on first, I'll think about it."
Since Peter Reid likes Kevin Phillips so much, he should be attractive. Moreover, his strength and potential data are good, and it is possible to introduce him. However, Su Yun's transformation of Sunderland mainly focuses on the mid-back position.
field.
If there is any transfer fee left after the midfield and backcourt signings, it can also be used on Phillips.
"Any more?"
"Lee Clark."
Su Yun's eyes suddenly doubled in size, but soon returned to normal. But his heart was not at all calm. Peter Reed had such a good plan. Su Yun was even impressed by Peter Reed's courage.
Lee Clark is not a big shot. It would not be surprising if Sunderland brought in a player of his caliber.
But Lee Clark is a Newcastle player.
Not only is he a Newcastle player, Lee Clark is also a member of Newcastle's youth academy, and he has gradually become a member of Newcastle's first team. If such a player really moves to Sunderland, it will be an earthquake-like transfer.
Because Newcastle and Sunderland are mortal enemies.
The hatred between the two cities has lasted for hundreds of years. The hatred started more than 400 years ago and continues to this day.
If Lee Clark can really be poached, even if Clark is of no use, Sunderland fans will be very happy.
Peter Reed!
I don’t know what courage he has to actually want to poach Lee Clark. It’s not easy.
But Su Yun likes it.
It's just that Su Yun has only read the information about Lee Clark, and he doesn't know his specific strength. But when he thinks of being able to hit Newcastle hard, Su Yun can't help but laugh.
"Coach Cotterill, how sure are you of this?"
"It was almost done when Peter was here. But now..."
"Talk, keep talking."
Su Yun is very happy. If he can bring Lee Clark, a player who is his mortal enemy, when he takes over, it will be very beneficial to consolidate his position in the hearts of Sunderland fans. Even if Lee Clark is a waste, Su Yun
This transfer must also be completed.
"The other person is Danish goalkeeper Thomas Sørensen."
Su Yun nodded.
Su Yun knew the first two people, but Thomas Sorensen had never even heard of them.
"What do you think of Shay Given at Blackburn Rovers?"
Su Yun wanted to join Sunderland, so he read a lot of information about Sunderland. Only then did he find out about Blackburn Rovers' Shay Given and thought he was a good goalkeeper. Given had played for Sunderland last season.
Contest.
Blackburn loaned Given to Sunderland for half a season and made 17 appearances, including 13 clean sheets.
"Shay, that's great."
Cotterill answered affirmatively. "It's just that Shay's worth is a bit high. It should be difficult to buy without millions."
A goalkeeper costs millions of pounds, and Cotterill seems a bit expensive. Sunderland are not Manchester United, and Liverpool are not luxurious enough to invest millions of pounds for a goalkeeper.
But Su Yun didn't see it that way.
Why keep the transfer fee of six million pounds without spending it?
"He will also follow up and observe."
"good."
Cotterill nodded.
"I will draw a few key points. These people will be brought in first, and I will consider the rest."
…………
"George, what about that Chinese guy?"
Su Yun came to Sunderland just to deal with some matters. Then he got to know the members of the coaching staff and rushed back to London. After all, the last round of the league has not ended yet, and Su Yun should return to his job as the head coach.
After Caden saw off Su Yun, he asked George Cotterill.
"The preparations are quite good. But it's just a mule or a horse that has to be pulled out for a ride. Let's see what his results are."
Although Cotterill's hostility towards Su Yun disappeared a little, his trust was not at all.
Chinese coach?
Although Su Yun has performed well this season, Cotterill still has a deep prejudice against Chinese coaches.
Does China also have football?
"Yeah. Let's see. Let's see what he is capable of."
