Moreover, coincidentally, after providing Friedman with several super suggestions in the midfield and backcourt, what surprised Li Yi this time was exactly one position, which is definitely the most important position for a team -
-goalkeeper!
Diego Lopez! Perhaps no one knew this young bald guy 12 years ago, but since Real Madrid repurchased him, his reputation has gradually increased.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that he was still on the bench for the Spanish national team after Sancassi recovered from his injury can already explain enough problems. Even if the conflict between Sancassi and Mourinho is made public,
It's a certain factor. Lopez's strength is definitely suitable for Crystal Palace's requirements.
Pulling out the Cassis substitute that Real Madrid was selling publicly, he pulled it out from a pile of information and put it in front of Friedman. Li Yi introduced it with a smile, "Coach, there's this one, I think it's good too."
"Okay!" I don't know what Li Yi said about the transfer. Anyway, Friedman felt that Li Yi was very confident, and he didn't know where his confidence came from.
At this moment, Friedman took a quick look at the new candidate proposed by Li Yi, and found that it was a wealthy second-in-command who had been a substitute for Casillas for a long time. He immediately put the information aside.
This kind of long-term substitute for a wealthy club is exactly what Crystal Palace needs. His ability is unparalleled. Since he has no games to play for a long time, the price is definitely affordable.
After Bell, Modric, Balzaretti, and Diego Lopez proposed four good teammates for Friedman, Li Yi no longer had any extravagant hopes of finding any more fish that slipped through the net. However, when
Li Yi, who was bored, turned the information to the page belonging to Manchester United. After seeing a name that he had never thought of, he stood up from his seat excitedly.
So who did he see that made Li Yi so excited? This person, if there is nothing wrong with Li Yi's eyes, his full name is Gerard Pique Bernabeu! A central defender who is only 20 years old.
Pique, he will be the absolute main central defender in the famous Barcelona team in the future. Although some fans always think that Pique's strength is only mediocre, and give Pique the nickname "Piqué", saying that he only defends with his eyes.
"See through" his opponents. But being able to join a wealthy club and serve as the main force for a long time, there is no doubt about Pique's strength!
After getting excited, he found that the three pairs of eyes around him were staring at him motionlessly. Li Yi flattered and touched his head with a smile, and explained with a smile, "What, coach, I just got bit by a mosquito!"
…
I just went too far and didn't dare to mention Pique's name right away. After waiting for about half an hour, I felt that everyone should forget what happened just now, so Li Yi turned back the information.
The page belonging to Manchester United brought Pique's name right under Friedman's nose.
"Brad Pique? Lee, do you think he has the ability?" I glanced at Pique's name and found that although his background was very prestigious, coming from the famous La Masia youth training, after all, he has not played a game with Manchester United so far.
, Friedman asked with some uncertainty.
"It should be possible, coach, if you look at his body side data, he is a little defensive monster!"
"Okay, I've written it down. Anyway, Manchester United said that this player is only on loan. It seems that he has similar ideas to you and attaches great importance to him. When the time comes, I will ask the club to send a letter to see if he can be loaned out.
return."
When I think of Pique, I naturally think of his growth experience. I know that in reality, Manchester United did rent out Pique, and after taking it back next season, it was half sold and half given back to Lamar for a mere 5 million pounds.
West Asia, Li Yi continued seemingly unintentionally, "Leasing is also possible. I suggest that when you ask the coach, you also ask Manchester United to see if we can buy half of Pique's ownership?"
"Okay, I'll ask when the time comes. By the way, it's getting late. Let's go and have dinner. I'll treat you today." He nodded to Li Yi, agreeing to Li Yi's request. Friedman
Putting all the information in his hands aside, he stood up from his seat and said to the three people present.
"I won't go. Coach, you just arranged so many things, so I hurry up and catch up. After all, the transfer window has opened now. If we don't hurry up and miss the genius, I will become a sinner of the club."
After hearing that Cork said he wouldn't go, Friedman was still a little dissatisfied and was about to give him a lecture. But when Cork told him the reasons why he wouldn't go, Friedman thought about it and realized that what Cork said
That's right, transfers are the same as fighting. Soldiers are expensive and fast. Food is eaten several times a day. A good player is not so easy to meet.
"Okay, Cork, you go ahead and get busy. I'll pack something for you and come back later. So, Lee, let's go?"
"Okay, let's go." Before, while waiting for half an hour, Li Yi had already read more than a hundred pages of information, and there were no surprises in it. Therefore, there will be no more at this time.
It was a waste of time. Friedman said that he was going to eat, which was exactly what Li Yi wanted.
How three people eat, I don’t have to say much.
After Friedman returns to the club, he will trust himself and make several super deals that he pointed out for the club. This is not something Li Yi should care about and control.
Therefore, after having dinner with Friedman and returning to his home, Li Yi did not take this matter to heart anymore. He did everything he could, and the only thing left was to wait for the news.
The efficiency of Friedman and Cork is undoubtedly super fast. Only three days after chatting with Li Yi, the official website of Crystal Palace announced the first exciting news for Li Yi.
"The first signing of the summer - Gareth Bale."
The title is not very eye-catching, and there is no fanfare like Li Yi's transfer. Li Yi, who visits the official website of Crystal Palace every day out of boredom, only discovered this from an inconspicuous corner of the homepage under very accidental conditions.
then the news.
Excitedly clicking on the title and entering the interior, Li Yi discovered that, similar to the previous life, this time, the Crystal Palace only spent 5 million pounds to win the Monkey King.
"Oh, yes!" Li Yi clenched his fist and waved lightly into the air in front of him. Stimulated by the good news, Li Yi immediately called the supermarket and ordered a dozen beers.
The signing of Bale is just the beginning of a crazy summer for Crystal Palace.
In the next month, countless London fans, as bystanders, witnessed the entire process of Crystal Palace's madness.
For 8 million pounds, acquiring Modric is another big bargain for Crystal Palace.
3.5 million pounds for Balzaretti. This news surprised Li Yi. In fact, Italians are very reluctant to play abroad. Li Yi was curious about how the club persuaded Balzaretti to come.
The Premier League. However, the team has not gathered yet. Even if Li Yi wanted to ask, he would have to put this question until after the team training.
After successfully renting Pique from Manchester United, this news did not feel like there was much to look forward to within the club, but Li Yi had some different expectations for Crystal Palace's record next season. In other words, Li Yi was just curious at this time.
, while listening to his own words and renting Pique, did Friedman successfully buy half of the other party's ownership? If so, then next summer, if Catalonia wants to recycle this central defender, it will cost a lot
The price is definitely not the original 5 million pounds.
With another £3.5 million, Friedman has completed the last piece of the puzzle given by Li Yi - the arrival of Diego Lopez has given Li Yi a certain degree of confidence in the team's goal next season.
Of course, Friedman and Cock sit together every day to study, and it is definitely impossible to just get these few people proposed by Li Yi and settle the matter.
Besides, Li Yi gave these suggestions, Bell's 5 million + Modric's 8 million + Balzaretti and Lopez's 7 million, before and after, it was only 20 million pounds. Li Yi didn't know him from that distance.
The bottom line given by the team owner is still far from it, isn’t it?
The remaining transfers that Li Yi was not involved in are as follows:
For £5 million, Friedman packaged #Pique from Manchester United and acquired full-back Richardson.
2 million to lure forward Aliadiere from Arsenal.
For 1 million pounds, Naismith, a versatile midfielder, was hired from Everton Toffees.
Immediately afterwards, for another 1 million pounds, Crystal Palace poached central midfielder McCann from Aston Villa.
These people who were operated by Friedman were all making small fuss, and Li Yi didn't pay much attention to it at first. However, after a few weeks, Li Yi waited for the latest transfer name to be posted in large characters on the Crystal Palace official website.
, Li Yi was directly shocked!
Ghana Buffalo - Sulayi Muntari. Seeing that Friedman actually hired this guy from Udinese for 6.2 million pounds, Li Yi even doubted whether Friedman would compete with him.
Likewise, it came from time travel.
Muntari, this guy Li Yi only remembers that he was famous in AC in his later life. For him, the only thing he knows is that he is an outstanding midfield defensive player.
However, as long as he thinks about Muntari's tendons and the fact that he will be able to play games in AC and Inter Milan, Li Yi can expect more for the Crystal Palace in the new season.
If there is buying, there will naturally be selling. Paying high prices to recruit people from top leagues in various countries is definitely not for Friedman to increase the team's bench strength.
After acquiring the above 8 players in succession, especially the purchase of Muntari, after overspending by 30 million pounds, Crystal Palace had just finished buying people, and then began its own tearful sale.
With the wealthy second-in-command Diego Lopez, even though he had not yet seen how powerful the opponent was, Friedman still used the momentum of killing Ma Su with tears and did not hesitate to sell the main player of the original team who could be worth a high price at this time.
Goalkeeper Scott Flinders moved back to the Championship for £800,000.
Immediately afterwards, the team's previous 11 main players, except Dodge (forward), Joby (midfielder), Fletcher (defender), Hudson (defender), and Granville (defender). The remaining 6 players were all replaced.
Crystal Palace waved their hands and cleared out the team to withdraw funds.
In addition to the turmoil in the main team, Friedman also released some substitute players who had been unable to play for a long time and wanted a chance to play, and sent them out of the team at a low price.
