After the introduction of Thomasson, many Sunderland fans are waiting for Su Yun's big move.
Because in an interview with reporters, Charlie Carden vowed that the club would not be relegated again this time. In order to achieve good results in the Premier League, the club will absolutely support Su Yun's actions financially.
When reporters asked about the Sunderland transfer fee this summer, Charlie Adam proudly patted his chest.
Within ten million pounds, the club will support Su Yun.
This made many Sunderland fans very happy.
They were all waiting for Su Yun to make a big move.
They believe that Su Yun is not that kind of stingy. This can be seen from Su Yun's transfer market last summer.
So they are all waiting.
But after waiting and waiting, Su Yun did not make a move.
In fact, Su Yun is quite satisfied with the current Sunderland lineup and has no intention of spending big money on players. Su Yun's current target is a young player.
Speaking of which, this player is quite famous in British football.
Of course it doesn't mean how outstanding his strength is.
He is not a talented player like Irving or Joe Cole. But he is slightly famous because his transfer last summer was interesting. He was once a player of Brighton, it should be said that he was a player of Brighton's youth training last year.
In the summer he and another player moved from Brighton to Aston Villa's youth team.
But the deal once caused controversy.
Because he was only 16 years old last summer. He was still a youth player.
So Brighton sued Villa, saying they were seducing their youth players.
In the end, the FA fined Villa to pay Brighton £2.4 million in compensation.
This lawsuit caused by young players caused a sensation last summer. The loss of two 16-year-old players turned out to be 2.4 million pounds. This is not a small sum.
This person is Gareth Barry of Villa. Su Yun also saw his game by chance.
At the end of last season, Barry had the opportunity to appear in the first team of Villa. But it was only a substitute role. However, Barry made his debut in the England youth team early and was even selected for the England U21.
Su Yun just watched his game in the England youth team.
His strength made Su Yun's eyes shine.
At the age of seventeen, he already has a strength of 160, and the most important thing is that his potential value has reached 188.
This is a very strong player.
That's why Su Yun bought him. At seventeen years old, he is still very young. The important thing is that he can play center back, left back, and left midfielder. He is a very versatile player.
Su Yun first offered Villa 1.5 million pounds.
But Villa did not give a clear answer.
Villa's head coach John Gregory believed that Barry had good talent and could not let him go so easily. However, he also did not absolutely reject Su Yun, and his attitude was rather ambiguous.
You come and go between the two parties.
Until the end, Su Yun raised the price to two million pounds, but John Gregory never let go.
But things always take a turn for the better.
At this time, John Gregory's eyes were set on West Ham United's defense general David Unsworth. David Unsworth is a very outstanding player in English football in recent years.
The central defender is also very consistent with Villa's current three-back system.
John Gregory loved David Unsworth.
So he has been looking for David Unsworth.
Speaking of which, Unsworth is a well-known strict wife in British football. In England, there is a lot of domestic violence in British football. Especially those who play football have bad tempers. Every once in a while, someone will appear.
Scandals emerged of football stars beating their wives or girlfriends.
But Unsworth is different.
This is a very famous strict wife.
Recently, he was preparing to leave West Ham United. The biggest reason was that his wife felt that West Ham United was a bit far away from her home.
Vera also saw the opportunity and took action immediately.
They spent three million pounds to buy the centre-back from West Ham United.
Now Barry's transfer suddenly became clear.
Because in John Gregory's view, Barry, a seventeen-year-old young man, is of course unable to take on important tasks. But Unsworth is different. Unsworth is not yet twenty-five years old, but he is already in the Premier League.
He served as the main center back for four seasons.
And whether he is at Everton or West Ham United, his performance is as stable as ever.
With him, Barry's position is less important.
So their tone was a little loose.
Su Yun was very optimistic about Barry, so he added some money and raised the offer to 2.3 million pounds. For a young newcomer who had only played a few times in the Premier League, this was already an extremely high price.
Unsworth, who has been the absolute main player in the Premier League for four years, only has 3 million pounds.
Two million and three hundred thousand pounds is already an astonishing price.
After a slight hesitation from Villa, Su Yun stepped up his efforts again and offered a price of 2.5 million pounds.
Villa then agreed to Barry's transfer.
"Coach Su, are you sure you're okay?"
When the news of Gareth Barry's transfer came, many media expressed doubts. "The Sun" directly wrote such a headline.
"Although after the Bosman Act, the value of players began to rise sharply. But offering 2.5 million pounds to a 17-year-old young player is no longer crazy. Of course there are some geniuses in the world,
Their net worth can be very high even at the age of seventeen."
"Like Owen, if Liverpool wanted to sell him, his worth two years ago would definitely be more than five million pounds. And West Ham United's current talented player Joe Cole, although he is not yet seventeen years old, would be worth more if he were sold.
It must be very high. But the problem is that Gareth Barry is not a talented player like Owen or Kewell. How can he be worth 2.5 million pounds."
"Coach Su is crazy. Unsworth only has 3 million pounds, but Barry, who has never played a few games in the Premier League, can earn 2.5 million pounds?"
If The Sun was a satire, some other newspapers questioned it.
Many newspapers have questioned whether Su Yun took kickbacks. In recent years, there have been many scandals in English football about coaches taking kickbacks. Although English football does not like outsiders to interfere, and this kind of kickback behavior is very common.
.But once a scandal breaks out, it will still be very sensational.
The most sensational one recently is undoubtedly the bribery scandal involving Arsenal's meritorious coach George Graham.
George Graham accepted a bribe of 250,000 pounds from a Danish agent and then bought two illegal players from him.
Eventually the scandal broke and Arsenal fired Graham under pressure.
Now many media are questioning whether Su Yun also received bribes in the process.
The Villa team that sold Barry was complacent. Last summer, they introduced two young players from Brighton, and Villa lost 2.4 million pounds. In fact, the two players were not worth 2.4 million pounds at the time.
Yes, it was just a punitive fine at the time. Just one year later, they sold one of them for 2.5 million pounds.
Even if all this year's salary is added up, it will not reach 2.5 million pounds.
Within one year, the original fine was paid back.
How could they not be happy?
Su Yun didn't respond to these nonsense at all. For Su Yun, money is secondary. Su Yun has never valued Qian very much. So there is no such thing as Su Yun taking kickbacks.
When they couldn't get an answer from Su Yun, many reporters began to look for their own connections.
They approached Sunderland's internal staff and wanted to find out the club's internal thoughts on this transfer.
But I didn't find out this, but I found out new information.
