Chapter 217 is always
As the season neared its end, all sorts of transfer rumors began to surface again.
In particular, several underdog teams that have performed well this season have received a lot of attention.
Besides Arsenal's interest in Justin and Baselli, Burton also received several other transfer offers.
If Quinn and Murphy hadn't been explicitly listed as not for sale, there would probably have been even more.
Fortunately, Baselli has no intention of leaving for the time being, which greatly comforted Li Yanqing.
As for Arsenal, they were forced to abandon their idea of buying Justin and focus on discussing his transfer.
Training Course.
"You want to go to Arsenal?"
“They didn’t tell us this before.”
Araujo was closest to Justin, and after learning that Justin's transfer was practically a done deal, he immediately contacted his good friend.
"Yes, that's a gunman."
"There's nothing to say about this, is there?"
"Just like how you're so eager to go to Barcelona."
Justin didn't think it was a bad thing.
After all, players all want a bigger stage.
In just over a year, he jumped from League Two team Luton Town to Arsenal, which is an inspiring story no matter where you look at it.
As for Burton and Li Yanqing, he could only say that he was grateful, but he would definitely not be able to keep him.
Just like when he left Luton, as long as he leaves enough transfer fee for the team, he won't feel any guilt.
Besides, his transfer fee was only a little over a million when he came, and this time it will be at least twenty times that amount.
“My situation is different…” Araujo’s expression was somewhat anxious, and it was clear that he wanted to persuade the other party to stay.
"I had discussed it with the club in advance, so that everyone could be mentally prepared."
"This is so sudden."
"It wasn't exactly sudden," Justin said, shaking his head with a hint of disappointment.
"I believe I'm progressing faster than others."
"But I will never be the one in the core position."
"That's why I want to leave."
“Every time I try to do something, Bradford and the others stop me.”
As he said this, he glanced at Quinn, who was training.
If he could receive the same treatment as the other party...
I'm really envious.
Whenever the players argue, the captain and even the head coach always side with him.
"Moreover, even now, the boss hasn't come to talk to me."
"Perhaps in his plan, I was never the one who absolutely had to stay here..."
“Okay.” Araujo actually found this mentality hard to understand.
The position least likely to be the core player in a team is the goalkeeper, followed by the center-back.
So he never thought of competing.
"Tell me about you, I heard that a team has also extended an invitation to you?"
"There are still several."
"There are also wealthy families..."
Justin was right; young players were the hardest hit among the offers Burton received.
“Yes, but I refused them all.” Araujo nodded decisively.
"why?"
"Because they are not Barcelona..."
the other side.
Li Yanqing was sitting at his desk, watching Justin and Araujo on the training field through the window.
He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not stand up.
Anyway, I already knew from Buckle that Justin said he wanted to leave.
In that case, it seems a bit late to go now.
Hopefully, this player will have a good future at Arsenal.
"John, we need to find another left-back."
Are there any suitable candidates?
"Left-back, center-back, forward..." John was sitting opposite him, taking notes on his duties.
Should we buy a defensive midfielder?
"After Enzo and Cazorla left, we were left with only two defensive midfielders."
"Although both Blind and David Luiz can play in this position..."
"We could consider buying a substitute. Of course, if there's a suitable one in the youth academy, we can promote him. I'll go check with Rheinland later."
Thanks to two versatile players, the team has many options in midfield.
The main need is to add a top-class striker, preferably one who can play a key role.
For example, Di Maria of Paris Saint-Germain is a top striker, but he can't play as a key player.
What he wanted was the kind that could be driven by a single core.
"No rush, take your time looking."
"The season isn't completely over yet."
They have plenty of time; they just need to get the plan ready before the season ends.
The most important thing right now is the competition.
He made a bet with Nave that he would continue to use the 4-2-4 formation against West Ham United in the next match.
The player who impressed him the most was undoubtedly Payet, who had almost completely overwhelmed Miller and Sun Yan in previous matches.
How to effectively mark the opponent remains the key point in this match.
Pepe just returned from the national team and isn't suitable to play immediately; otherwise, we could just have him defend.
Besides him, there are other good players like Baselli and Lars Bender available.
Of course, no matter who starts for the team, Enzo will definitely be his partner in this game.
He was the key to this game.
"Remember?"
What I just said.
Half an hour later, Li Yanqing had already called Enzo to his office.
"clear."
"When you take command, a tactical change will be needed."
Enzo has a high level of comprehension, and he is reliable to use.
However, after discussing the arrangements for this match with Li Yanqing, he brought up the FA Cup final that followed.
"Boss, can I start in that game?"
"You know, that's what I want to do most right now."
"I believe Quinn, Murphy, and Matthias think the same way."
"Especially since this time they're facing Chelsea."
They suffered a crushing defeat to Chelsea in last year's FA Cup final.
The worst part is that they were also defeated twice by the same opponent this season.
Defeating them in the finals would definitely boost morale.
However, this is definitely not an easy task.
According to predictions from various media outlets, their success rate is less than 10%.
After all, Li Yanqing has not won a single game against Chelsea since taking over the team.
He can be considered Burton's lifelong rival.
"Let's talk about it then."
I will try my best to meet your requirements.
To be honest, Li Yanqing is currently having a headache about how they should deal with their opponents in the finals.
He would definitely start Enzo if conditions allowed.
He hasn't figured out how to arrange things yet.
Let's see how their training goes then.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
“Enzo, I’ve included a buy-back clause in your transfer contract.”
“Yes, I heard that the price has gone up a bit.” Enzo smiled but didn’t say anything else.
He had no objections because the clause stipulated that the player's consent was required to initiate the buyback process.
"That's right, what I want to tell you is that you don't need to care about anyone's opinion."
"No matter who makes you unhappy, tell me anytime."
"Burton is your home."
"Always..."
