Thanks to "Thieves" and "Seven Times a Night Lang Ah Lang" for the reward!

June 2001.
South Korea, Suwon.
Before the French team participated in the Confederations Cup, Henry was interviewed. European reporters were generally concerned about an issue.
"Thierry, Real Madrid is willing to pay a transfer fee of 45 million pounds for you. Are you considering going to the Bernabeu to play?"
Henry smiled and said: "Thanks to Real Madrid for favoring me, but I have not considered transferring and leaving Millwall."
"But you've won everything at Millwall."
"Why go to Real Madrid when I can win everything at Millwall?"
...
Japan, Yokohama.
When the Brazilian national team arrived here, Ronaldinho walked out of the tunnel wearing a pair of fashionable sunglasses and his long hair tied back.
"Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho!"
Countless Japanese fans screamed crazily, while reporters in the front row kept taking photos or shouting at him with microphones.
"Ronaldinho, will you go to Spain to play? Barcelona and Real Madrid are both willing to pay more than 40 million pounds in transfer fees for you!"
Ronaldinho, who was walking forward with his teammates, heard the reporter's question, turned around and walked over there, almost causing a riot among the fans. As he approached, more than ten microphones were handed to him.
"If there is a newspaper or television report that I will leave Millwall, wherever, that is a lie."
...
The Confederations Cup is in full swing, and Aldridge is already on vacation in Australia, lying on the deck of a cruise ship and enjoying the sun. The fatigue from a season has been relieved, and even taking a nap in the soft sunshine seems to be a luxury, which is extremely frustrating.
Desirable and easily satisfied.
Arthur, Amelia, and Mr. and Mrs. Puskas were also on the cruise ship. It was like living in a paradise.
One day in mid-June, Aldrich's cruise ship docked on the sea near the equator. He slowly applied sunscreen on Ivan's smooth back with his palms on the deck, enjoying the job very much. The wonderful warm and smooth touch
It makes one's desire rise. If it weren't for the cruise ship, there would be someone else. He would really be having sex right here in broad daylight.
"Dad, phone."
Earl and Bert ran up from the middle of the cabin in shorts and bare feet, handed Aldrich the mobile phone, and then the two children ran to the side of the boat to look at the fish. Ivan buttoned up his bra and put on a pair of
He smiled at Aldrich and said, "I'm keeping an eye on them, don't let them go into the sea and get caught by the fish."
Aldrich laughed, and when she turned around, he patted her round buttocks. Yiwen turned around, lightly stepped on him with her small feet, and then turned around and ran away.
Aldrich lay down and turned to the phone and asked: "Hello, who are you?"
"Long time no contact. Aldrich."
"Oh, it's been a long time, Raphael. I thought our next conversation should be on the field, where you bring your team to challenge me."
Rafael Benitez!
Aldrich said this without blushing at all, and Benitez didn't think there was anything wrong.
Challenge Aldrich?
This is something top clubs across Europe are doing.
"I became the manager of Valencia, you know?"
"Now I know. Congratulations."
"Then will you give me a gift?"
"Can I give you a comb?"
"...Vicente and Joaquin, they have no place back at Millwall, so sell them to Valencia."
"Am I the one giving the gift? Or are you trying to trick me?"
"I'm actually just a lobbyist. I can't decide who the club wants to buy, and I can't decide whether Millwall will be sold or not. But the Valencia senior management hopes that I will come forward and allow the transfer for the sake of your and me's official business."
It can be completed successfully.”
Aldrich looked at the endless blue sky and white clouds and thought about it, what right of say does Benitez have in Valencia?
"I can't give you an answer. I will consider it and respect the player's personal choice."
"Well, let's do that. I know you are on vacation, so I won't disturb you."
After Aldrich hung up the phone, he called Adam and asked him to follow up on the situation with Vicente and Joaquin.
Vicente and Joaquin, who were loaned to Valencia last season, cannot be said to have shined brightly, but they have shown promising prospects for the future and have emerged among Spain's young generation.
A year later, when the season ended, both of them stayed in their home country. This was normal, after all, they would definitely go back to Spain for vacation.
But what Adam learned was not good for Millwall.
Joaquin's attitude was more determined.
If Millwall cannot give him a starting position next season, then he will apply for a transfer and leave.
Vicente expressed his request to leave more tactfully.
Valencia may not be able to keep Mendieta, and there are more opportunities to rise to the top. Moreover, Millwall is full of talents. Although the two of them are not yet the main force in Valencia, they also see the hope of competition, but
In Millwall's main framework, the space for young people to survive is getting smaller and smaller.
After Aldrich learned of the latest situation, he did not try to retain these two players.
Maybe keeping them will delay their future, unless they agree to continue being loaned out.
The first transaction Millwall made before the summer transfer window opened was to sell Vicente and Joaquin to Valencia in a package for a transfer fee of 17.5 million pounds, plus 3 million floating clauses.
Backup goalkeeper Keller announced the termination of his contract with the club on June 1, which was not considered a trade.
In the days that followed, Aldridge directed the club's transfer work remotely while on vacation.
A signing for the summer has been put on the agenda.
Kaka’s transfer!
"Boss, the Football Association needs us to provide materials on the Brazilian young man's application for a labor certificate. However, he did not perform particularly well in Brazil."
Kaká's transfer operation, transfer fee and player's personal wishes are no longer a problem. The only difficulty is the labor certificate.
Millwall must activate the special talent clause, with only one quota per season, and must provide convincing evidence to prove that the players introduced have genius qualities.
Now Millwall is on the cusp of the storm. Unlike in the past when the introduction of Shevchenko had little impact, Aldrich Ferguson can solve the problem with a favor.
"Material? Just use his technical performance in training as material."
Adam didn't know how to answer Aldrich's words.
Just take a training video without even an official match, and the Football Association will approve it?
But since Aldrich said so, Adam could only do it.
Today, Aldridge doesn't ask others for help. He really can't come up with real materials to prove that Kaká is a genius. He just relies on his mouth and says: He is a genius! The Premier League refuses his arrival. It is the Premier League.
League loss!
Whether what he said is true or false, it will be proven right or wrong in the future, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, if he speaks, he has a certain influence on public opinion.
But to accomplish this, we really can't just rely on Aldrich to say something. The key is to clear up the relationship within the FA and find Andrew to come forward to deal with it.
Before the summer transfer window opened on July 1, something depressing for Aldridge happened.
Almost all the players who were loaned out last season don’t want to come back!
A full 9 people have expressed their desire to transfer to the club through their agents, and basically all of them have preliminary agreements with the clubs they are loaned to.
The key depends on whether Millwall lets him go.
Drogba's performance on loan last season was mediocre, and there was a incident of beating a teammate the previous season. He returned to Millwall peacefully, and no one cares about him for the time being.
Lampard and Ashley Cole have also returned to the club, but if they cannot play in the new season, they still have to consider continuing to rent out. After all, next year is the World Cup. League performance must be supported.
Among these nine players, the only ones Aldridge doesn't want to let go are Carrick and Evra.
But then I thought about it, the competition for Carrick's position is too fierce. Pirlo will definitely not leave next season. Lampard and Alonso are all ahead of Carrick, and the age gap is not big. Keep them.
It seems that there will be no use for it in the future.
Evra's situation is roughly the same, with Zambrotta and Ashley Cole in front of him.
As for whether these 9 people will choose to leave, the situation is similar.
There is no hope of getting ahead in Millwall. If you can play the main role elsewhere, your salary will also increase a lot. After all, you can't even get into the first team at Millwall. You can get a good job in other top league clubs.
contract.
Millwall's youth training has made brilliant achievements in recent years. These 9 players have the label of Millwall's youth training. As long as they gain a foothold in the loan club, they will immediately attract attention and be expected to become the next stars. Therefore, other clubs will take the lead.
They are presumptuous, trying to seduce these players before they become famous, in an attempt to get a big advantage.
Aldridge hesitated for a while, and finally let the club's transfer department compete with these suitor clubs.
July has not arrived yet, Millwall has left 11 people in transfers!
The departure of these nine players has brought Millwall 46.5 million pounds in revenue, with a total of 8 million pounds in floating clauses.
The transfers are officially announced one by one, and the transactions are completed only after the transfer window opens.
Fleet Street has become accustomed to Millwall's terrifying ability to make money through transfer sales over the years, but now Millwall's sales have reached an exaggerated level.
Of the 11 players sold, only Vicente and Joaquin have played in the Millwall first team. The others were only loaned out for one or two seasons. Some of their performances were amazing, some were average, but in fact
It has not reached a height worthy of its worth.
But just because of the signature effect of Millwall's youth training, these players were sold at high prices.
In total, it brought back 64 million pounds in revenue for Millwall, with more than 10 million pounds in floating clauses.
When they leave, no one will feel sorry for Millwall. It's not that Millwall didn't retain talents, but that these players may not have any chance to succeed in Millwall for at least three years!
Under this cruel law of competition, they are the product of elimination within the Millwall team.
But it is such a group of Millwall's eliminated products that have brought back such rich returns, which reflects from the side that Millwall has extremely high requirements for players.
As the transfer window approached, a player from Millwall's first team took the initiative to call Aldridge and expressed his wish to transfer and leave.
