Chapter 55 Transfer, transfer, transfer!
Chen Zhun divided the list in his hands into two parts. The first part is the players that Chen Zhun wants to buy with 400 million pounds now, and the second part is the players to buy during the winter transfer period.

The list of the first part is as follows:
Joe Hart, Stefan Lichtsteiner, Laurent Koscielny, Miguel Arteta, Las Diarra, Yaya Toure, Ben Arfa Tevan Keasling, a total of 8 players.In addition to Kuba, who is already regarded as the Southampton team, there are a total of 9 players.

These players are now playing in the second team of their respective clubs or their clubs have no resistance compared to the Premier League.

Arnesen was also excited when he looked at the list. He had heard of some of these players before. If Chen Zhun could really buy them, it would be a huge profit.

Chen Zhun said to the stunned Arnesen: "Hey, Frank, we have 400 million pounds in our hands. Do you think we can buy these 8 players?"

Arnesen shrugged: "With you, nothing is impossible."

"Yes, I came here to change the world. By the way, Frank, you will contact Dimitri Payette in Reunion Island later and invite him to try out."

"Okay David, you keep saying weird names that I've never heard of!"

Chen Zhun's first goal was the future England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who was only 17 years old. At that time, he played for his hometown team Shrewsbury, but he was not the main goalkeeper.In fact, Chen Zhun thought about other goalkeepers, but because of England's cheating registration rules, he also had to keep some household registration books.Chen Zhun made a transfer application of 5 pounds to the Shrewsbury team. After 5 minutes, the Shrewsbury team agreed to Chen Zhun's transfer application.This is already a considerable amount of money for a League Two team, and they have no reason to refuse.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but the first transfer was easily achieved, which added some confidence to Chen Zhun.Arneson saw that the transfer was done, so he sent one of his men to Shrewsbury to discuss the contract.

Chen Zhun also sent a transfer offer of 45 pounds to the Grasshopper Club in Zurich, Switzerland, to buy Lichtsteiner.Zurich Grasshopper Club quickly gave a reply, 60 pounds.After another round of offers, Zurich Grasshopper Club accepted Chen Zhun's transfer offer of £50.Arnesen sent his transfer team to Zurich, Switzerland.

Things went a lot smoother after that.

Chen Zhun signed Koscielny from Ligue 10 Guingamp for £[-].

Yaya Toure was acquired from Metallurgical Donetsk in Ukraine for £100 million.

£60 got Kisling from German team Nuremberg.

£100 million brought Diarra from Le Havre, France.

In three hours, 400 million pounds of Chen Zhun's 322 million transfer funds have been used up.That left a measly £78.

Chen Zhun also finalized the lease of Arteta with Real Sociedad of La Liga just now, and the Southampton team can buy out Arteta for 250 million pounds during the summer transfer period.

78 pounds, Chen Zhun knew that this amount of money would definitely not buy Ben Alpha, so he wanted to rent Ben Alpha, but this last transfer was stuck on the buyout fee.Chen Zhun insisted on buying out Ben Alpha for only 350 million pounds, but Lyon chairman Aulas was more stubborn. He knew that Ben Alpha was a hot commodity, and he told Chen Zhun that the buyout fee for Ben Alpha was 600 million pounds without any negotiation. room for.Chen Zhun believed that Ben Alpha was not worth the price at all, so he terminated the transfer.Aulas was the best of the best in European football at the time. Before the rise of Porto and Benfica, the biggest black spot in Europe was the Lyon team.And their chairman Aulas is also keen to sell people. Lyon is the club that sells the most people during each transfer period.

In fact, Chen Zhun admired Aulas very much. 16 years ago, when Aulas took over the Lyon club that had been in the Ligue 5 for 16 years, everyone did not have any good illusions about his prospects.But now, even Aulas' enemies had to look at the shrewd chairman with admiration. Sixteen years later, Lyon went from a heavily indebted second division team to a Ligue [-] giant.

Aulas showed shrewdness and domineering in the transfer market.Aulas adheres to the principle of "every player has a price" and uses all means to maximize profits.

In the summer of 2005, Essien was sold to Chelsea for 3600 million euros. In 2007, Diarra was sold to Real Madrid for 2600 million euros. Lyon sells a player at the price of a superstar every year, which is the pride of Aulas .

After missing Ben Arfa, Chen Zhun turned over the roster of 48 players. He now needs to find a left midfielder here. Who can buy it for 78 pounds?

Peter Trochowski!Chen Zhun noticed the name.

"That's right! Why didn't I pay attention to him! Ouch!" After seeing Trohovsky, Chen Zhun slapped himself hard on the forehead.In Chen Zhun's previous life memory, Trohovski made his debut in Bayern Munich and became famous in the Hamburg team.Although her figure is difficult to gain a foothold in the Premier League, Chen Zhun believes that Trohovski's skills and flexibility can make up for this deficiency.

Chen Zhun didn't want to waste time, and immediately sent a transfer offer of 50 pounds to Bayern Munich.Bayern Munich immediately sent back £70 in feedback.Chen Zhun thought it was exactly what I wanted, and it was a deal!

The last transfer is done!
"Congratulations, David! You successfully bought 8 players for 400 million pounds, incredible!" Arnesen could no longer express this magical moment in words.

Arnesen continued: "Let's go! Go to Munich. The transfer team has already gone to various places in Europe to sign contracts. There are only two of us left."

Bayern Munich office, Bayern Munich team manager Hoeness met with Chen Zhun and Arnesen.Hoeness told Chen Zhun and Arnesen that they were very lucky, if it wasn't for Trohovski himself who had a great desire to get more opportunities to play and looked forward to becoming famous as soon as possible and getting a better professional contract.Bayern Munich will be waiting to make similar offers to Trohovski Hamburg and Stuttgart.

After Chen Zhun and Arnesen bid farewell to Hoeness, they went straight to Trohovski's home.

At Trohovsky's home, Chen Zhun personally signed a five-year professional contract with Trohovsky.

"To be honest, Coach David, I don't know Southampton Club well. I think this is an adventure trip." Trohovski said truthfully.

"Peter. I appreciate players with an adventurous spirit, because I am like you. Only an adventurous spirit can create your own brilliance. You come to Southampton Club, and you will achieve brilliance there. Believe me." Chen Zhun used skilled German told Trohovsky.

The young Trohovsky was surprised by Chen Zhun's ability to speak German, and instantly lost his guard against this strange coach.He saw confidence and firmness in Chen Zhun's eyes. Although his words sounded erratic and arrogant, Trohovsky sounded real and visible, full of enthusiasm.He has to prove himself in England, he has to prove himself to Bayern Munich.

"See you next year! Peter!" Chen Zhun happily said while shaking Trokhovsky's hand.

Chen Zhun and Arnesen went to Rostock after leaving Munich, where they visited Cross and his son.Then back to Southampton.
