Chapter 132 **Silk mood!

Although Leeds United finally failed in the league, the team scored 119 goals but set a goal record in the English Premier League and also won a great victory in player statistics.

Teves broke the individual goal record in a single season with 40 league goals, becoming the well-deserved best scorer, and was named the best player in the English Premier League. The captain Jonny Hausen ranked first with 17 assists and became the assist king in the Premier League this season.

In addition to these two most important awards being won by Leeds players, Leeds players were only among the top in the other selections and failed to successfully reach the top, especially Zach Thompson, who ranked second in the average score of each game after "Beast" Tevez, ranked sixth in the scorer list, ranked below Tevez with 9 times in the number of best player in a single game, and ranked third with 7.05 times in the average steals.

Although Zach Thompson was unable to become the king in a certain selection, he is still the most important player in Leeds United. His full blossom is the best display of his personal ability.

Simon Grayson also won the Best Coach of the Season, beating the Championship Ferguson and "Professor" Wenger to become the Best Coach of the English Premier League this season.

For other teams, the arrival of summer means that the team has an opportunity to strengthen their strength, but this is not the case for the "Young Guards". The summer of these two seasons is almost a disaster for Simon Grayson, and he can only breathe a sigh of relief when the summer transfer window is closed.

Because there are too many young players in his team that make people drool. In addition to the "Three Musketeers of Leeds", such as Pyr, Red, Pivkowski, and even the 16-year-old Ashley Hood, are all hot items, and transfer rumors after transfer are frequently circulated around them.

"Mar United's new coach Moyes wants to correct his mistake. He plans to buy Shaq."

"Stanford Bridge welcomes Mourinho, and the madman praises Shaq and Red!"

"Barcelona is interested in Shaq and looks for a successor for Xavi!"

"Arsenal once again failed to win. Wenger learned from his mistakes and made huge investments to force Shaq!"

Simon Grayson was amused by these transfer rumors. He knew that these news might also have some authenticity. But most of them were just media hype, and at most some players' agents made a splash to win new contracts for players.

Zach Thompson also had a phone call with his agent Glen Oxley. The agent was very powerful. Shaq had just shown his strengths. He reached an agreement with the sports business giant Adidas, and brought in a three-year sponsorship fee of 2 million euros per year. In addition, he also planned to talk to Leeds United about the salary increase. Four giant teams have already hoped to introduce Shaq and have all contacted him. The conditions offered by the other party are still very attractive.

Zach Thompson himself has no idea about transfers. He is depressed about his defeat in the new England national team roster!

Hodgson is considering that the "Three Lions" are about to play the World Cup qualifiers with Ukraine at home, and then play a friendly match with France away. For these two games, England does not need to do their best. In the World Cup qualifiers, England leads second place in Ukraine by as many as 7 points. The possibility of losing at home is very small, and it doesn't matter if it plays a friendly match with France. So this time he has selected many new players. Chelsea's 23-year-old rookie left-back Ryan Botland, Manchester United's Clevily, Arsenal's midfielder Gibbs and other young players have all got the opportunity.

Of course, Hodgson also considered giving Shaq more rest time. After all, she has been fighting for the whole season. Shaq has played 61 games for Leeds United and England this season in various competitions, which is definitely not a small burden for a young player who is only 20 years old.

But who is Zach Thompson? With the help of the magical "Black Feet" system, his condition has been very stable throughout the season. He originally expected to play for the "Three Lions" and get some teammate bonus skill points, but he didn't expect to miss the opportunity like this. How could he not be depressed?

When she was in a bad mood, Shaq politely told the reporters about his dissatisfaction in an interview: "For me, football is all about me! I didn't think about taking a vacation. You know, I broke up with my girlfriend, so I was ready to fight for England again, but now... I can only go on vacation."

These reporters are also a good thing. They quickly interviewed Hodgson with Shaq's words. The coach of the "Three Lions" was not angry either. The old man quite understood the young players' desire for the game: "Well, I can understand Shaq's mood, but I still have to tell this kid that life is not just about football. He is only 20 years old and is still very young. He should go to a girlfriend to have a relationship. If he can get married, it will be more helpful to his stable state! Finally, Well, I wish Shaq a happy holiday! Hahahahaha!"

Hodgson's good temper prevented him from being instigated by the reporters, but instead gave Shaq some new suggestions.

Of course, Zach Thompson was not idle either. He and Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker went on vacation in South America together. Ben Parker said that South American girls are enthusiastic, beautiful and sexy, and how could the three boys hold on?

The players are all on vacation, but Simon Grayson, the head coach, has no way to rest. He is still actively looking for the recruiting target with his colleagues in the coaching staff. Leeds United failed the most this season and almost won the league championship. This is a rare and valuable experience, but it is even more a painful lesson.

This experience made Simon Grayson and his team fully understand how cruel the English Premier League is. If the team's overall strength is not strong enough, if they only play for a whole season with just a set of lineups, the result will be very miserable... very miserable!

Moreover, starting next season, the "Youth Guards" will compete in the Champions League, which will have higher requirements for the team's lineup. If you don't want to repeat the same mistake and continue the tragedy of this season, it is necessary to introduce powerful strong players.

Fortunately, Bielhof is also a chairman who is so generous that he is countless times more generous. The Germans still have 50 million pounds of venture capital financing from venture capital companies. In addition, Leeds United has performed well this season and received a lot of bonuses, which is as much as 80 million pounds.

But the expansion plan of Elland Road Stadium also requires some money. This stadium is too small and is not enough for the current "Youth Guards". What's more, the UEFA Champions League also has requirements for the venue. The expansion cost of this £30 million has been set a long time ago.

In the end, Simon Grayson only received £30 million in transfer funds, but that was enough. Simon Grayson did not have any plans to transform the team's midfield and frontcourt. Tevez, Ameobi, Nelson Oliveira, Jonny Hausen, Pivkowski, and Bentley are still very capable. In addition, his confidant Shaq, Leeds United's midfield and frontcourt scored 119 goals last season.

What really makes Simon Grayson a headache is the team's defense line. This defense line is enough in the league, but if it comes to the Champions League next season, it's probably going to be dwarfed.

Ben Parker and the Plums are both excellent, Red is getting stronger and stronger, and Clegg Dawson is also stable, but Odi's strength is really average. It doesn't matter if he plays as a substitute, but if the team is really stronger, it is imperative to introduce a top central defender.

Simon Grayson's first choice is Dortmund's big central defender...Nevin Subotic!

This Serbian central defender has very strong air defense capabilities and has performed very stably on the spot. It can be said that he is a great contributor to Dortmund's runner-up in the Champions League this season.

In addition to Subotic, Simon Grayson also took a fancy to Udinese's Argentine central defender Madias Caruzzo. The 28-year-old Argentine central defender is considered late to be a latecomer. Although he is not tall, he has strong man-tapping ability and has a relatively comprehensive skill. Compared with Subotic, he is also cheaper.

After selecting the target, Leeds United began to make a quote, with the offer to Dortmund being 12 million pounds and the offer to Udinese was 7.5 million pounds, both of which increased some based on the value of the two players.

After the quotation was issued, the two clubs had not yet replied. Simon Grayson really received quotes from other teams about their players. This time... it was true!

First of all, the "Red Army" Liverpool sent Red a quotation of 7.5 million pounds. Of course, Simon Grayson refused without hesitation. His team lacked central defenders, so he naturally could not sell them, and this little money...is not a lot!

But the second offer received by Leeds United was stunned. Mourinho, the new coach of the "Blue Army" Chelsea, actually sent Ben Parker a quotation of 17.5 million pounds!

£17.5 million!

Simon Grayson thought he had read the wrong eyes. Ben Parker was not Shaq or Jonny Hausen. When did his players become so valuable?

After thinking for a long time, Simon Grayson refused Chelsea's offer with difficulty. The team is not short of money now, and the board of directors has not asked itself to sell players. Players like Ben Parker naturally cannot sell them.

However, regarding Red and Ben Parker's contract does need to be re-signed, otherwise if these kids go through the fork in the road because they can't stand the temptation of other teams, they will lose a lot.

Dortmund refused the offer for Subotic, but Udinese gave up on the offer for Madias Carruzzo. They paid a price of 11 million. After Leeds United brokered a little, the two sides reached an agreement on the price of 9.5 million pounds, and the negotiations entered the stage of negotiating personal contracts with the players.

There was almost no difficulty in negotiating between Madias Carruzzo and Leeds United. The new Argentine international, who was late for centre-back, happily accepted the Leeds United contract and said to Simon Grayson at the signing ceremony: "It is my honor to be able to join a team like Leeds United! I will work hard to contribute every point of my strength to the team!"

Well!

Simon Grayson felt a little amused. He felt that he really underestimated the team's attractiveness. Now the "Youth Guards" are no longer a **Silk team. Last season, they almost won the English Premier League championship and finally qualified for the Champions League next season as the runner-up. In addition, they have core players like the "Three Musketeers of Leeds", it seems that no longer seems to be an unknown small team. This transformation... you need to adapt!
