It's time for the Premier League presidential summit again!
In the high-level conference hall on the eighth floor of the Randmark Hotel in London, senior officials from twenty Premier League teams gathered together. The scene was quite lively, and they were all very polite.
After all, if you just walk out here, you will be the number one person with a face and a face outside.
As in previous years, at the presidential summit at the beginning of each season, three old people are always gone and three newcomers are ushered in.
The three teams relegated last season are Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff.
It should be said that Fulham's relegation is a pity. The strength of this West London team is not bad and there are potentials, but the relegation is indeed regrettable.
However, this is also cheaper in Southampton.
Because Fulham was forced to cut his budget after being relegated, Southampton took advantage of the vacancy and dug out several outstanding youth training treasures from Fulham's youth training camp.
In the past few years, Fulham's youth training has been very good. The talented frontcourt Patrick Roberts who shined in the Southampton youth training camp came from Fulham's youth training camp.
Since the FA and the Premier League officially promoted the Glorious Revolution’s youth training reform, Southampton has collected more data on England’s local youth training players. Among them, Fulham has two or three teenagers who are valued by Southampton.
Southampton’s youth team did not disappoint. It took part in the English League C for the first time last season. As a result, it ranked first in the league and successfully upgraded. The new season will enter the League Two, which is the fourth level of England.
The Saints Youth Team is also the only Premier League youth team that has emerged from the Premier League.
This has also made everyone see that the outstanding performance of the Saints Youth Team is not in vain for Yang Huan's continuous investment in the past few years.
The youth team has entered the League B, which undoubtedly greatly enhanced the appeal of the youth team.
Therefore, this summer, Southampton not only from Fulham, but also from some other teams in England, spent millions of pounds to introduce a group of outstanding young players in order to further strengthen the competitiveness of the youth team.
Because, after entering the new season, Azpilicueta will go to Tottenham Hotspur, teenagers Luke Shaw, Chambers and Prous will all enter the first team, the youth team will not increase signings, maybe Will be downgraded.
The promotion of these three teenagers into the first team is not only because of their outstanding performance in the Premier League, but because they have indeed met the requirements of the first team and are able to play.
Otherwise, Southampton will consider allowing them to stay in the youth team to play in the second league, or like Januzhai, simply rent out to practice level.
The metabolism process of Southampton's lineup is not very dynamic, but it has been going on in an orderly manner.
This is what the Saints deliberately do. After all, the movement is too loud and it is easy to put pressure on the team.
Just like the striker, Ibrahimovic and Drogba are gone, Harry Kane and Martial are here, if Southampton is more powerful, the fans and the media will take two young players and Ibrahim Simovic and Drogba compare.
Isn't this just throwing baggage on the two teenagers for no reason?
There is also the midfielder, Modric is leaving the team, Fabregas called Yang Huan before and made it clear that he will do his best to meet the requirements of Southampton, and he hopes to reach the peak of his career in Southampton.
After all, he is only 27 years old, the golden age of a professional player, isn't he?
But anyway, if Fabregas is used to compare with Modric, there is nothing necessary, is it?
Because of this consideration, Southampton is very low-key in the transfer market. Even if it is reported by the media, it is more of a tragedy news, especially during the World Cup, the performance of many players in the team. Outstanding, attracted the attention of many teams, naturally news.
To put it bluntly, Southampton doesn't need to rely on these for hype a long time ago.
In the conference hall, although Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff were gone, Leicester City, Burnley and Queens Park Rangers came.
Interestingly, the owner of the Queen’s Park Rangers is also Asian, the president of Malaysia Airlines.
The people present were all famous people. Once they met, after introducing each other through the relationship of football, they naturally started chatting.
As the most popular team in Europe, Peter Kenyon has undoubtedly become the focal point in the conference hall.
In addition to Daniel Levy of Tottenham Hotspur and Mubarak of Manchester City, who are in close contact with each other on weekdays, the top teams of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have also come closer, seemingly an independent Of small circles.
The other top executives of the Premier League teams either got together or just chatted together in twos and threes.
"Peter, how about Master Huan? Why haven't you come yet?" Mubarak asked with a smile.
It seems that he is quite concerned about Master Huan.
"It should be almost here, isn't Hamad picking up the plane?" Peter Kenyon knew it, and smiled.
Daniel Levy nodded, "Yeah, it should be soon."
Now in the entire Premier League presidential summit, who doesn't know, Hamad is the follower of Young Master Huan, and Young Master Huan is the leader.
Mubarak didn't say much, but turned to Peter Kenyon, "Peter, why are you doing nothing this year? The Premier League champion last season, he won nearly 100 million pounds, plus the Champions League. You are so rich now, why don't you seem to have much movement?"
Although no one knows how rich Southampton has benefited from these two championships, it is preliminary estimated that it should be around 150 million pounds, but this is just a bonus and a share.
Just like the Champions League, if you include sponsors and match day income, Southampton's total revenue in this event is estimated to be more than 100 million pounds. This is still obtained, and the future potential value is immeasurable.
No, Southampton is already talking about new sponsorship contracts.
Obviously, this is the rhythm of increasing prices!
It's enviable to think about it.
According to current estimates, Southampton’s fiscal revenue last season should have surpassed Real Madrid.
However, the Saints did not announce the details, and no one knew.
Peter Kenyon shook his head and smiled, "It's not that we haven't moved, but we haven't announced it yet."
"Oh? Who was introduced?" Mubarak asked with interest.
Judging from the current Premier League situation, the next season will still be the title battle between Southampton and Manchester City.
As the chairman of Manchester City, he must care about his competitors, right?
"We imported Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur, and Martial from Monaco..."
Mubarak suddenly smiled, "Please, these two are little-known teenagers, okay?"
"What about Fabregas?"
"Fàbregas?" Mubarak was a little moved. "You mean Fabregas in Barcelona?"
Peter Kenyon raised his brows and nodded, "It should be announced these two days."
Mubarak's face suddenly changed.
Originally Modric was going to transfer, Manchester City thought that Southampton's midfielder would be affected, but now they have added a Fabregas and their overall strength has been strengthened.
It seems that the Southampton management is really calm!
"In addition to Fabregas, we have a blockbuster transfer that is basically finalized, but it is not yet time to announce it!"
At this point, Peter Kenyon couldn't help but laughed.
"So, it's not us who hasn't moved, but you, the movement is too small!"
Up to now, Manchester City has decided to introduce free transfer Sarnia from Arsenal and Lampard from Chelsea, as well as other signings.
But these two transfers are inferior compared to Fabregas of Southampton and another legendary blockbuster transfer.
Mubarak frowned, but Daniel Levy pointed amusedly away.
"Peter, it's no wonder that Abramovich always glared at you. It turned out that you robbed them of Fabregas. I'm afraid he has the heart to kill you now!"
Peter Kenyon also smiled and nodded, "You know? We have suffered this for you!"
"Have suffered for us?" Daniel Levy was taken aback, can we not talk like Lei Feng?
“Chelsea’s performance last season was sluggish. This season, we are planning to sign up, strengthen our strength and return to the semi-finals. We don’t care, but what about you? Master Huan just wants to protect you, so Chelsea fell in love with Fabregas. , We snatched Fabregas, they fell in love with Pedro, we gave Pedro too!"
"Let's say it, this is not for you, what is it?"
Daniel Levi suddenly lost.
When did Peter Kenyon learn the same way as Master Huan, his face is so thick?
Obviously you want to strengthen your own strength, so that's why you went to compete with others, okay?
"Then, let alone I didn't remind you, Chelsea are now staring at Everton's defender Stones and Stoke City goalkeeper Begovic, you can figure it out!"
Peter Kenyon's words immediately moved Daniel Levi's heart.
In the current Premier League, Southampton and Manchester City have secured the top four positions in the league, while Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United will compete for the remaining two. This position is a competitor, but anything that can weaken Chelsea is good for Tottenham Hotspur.
Besides, isn't Tottenham Hotspur now also strengthening the team's lineup?
Defenders and goalkeepers, this is exactly what Tottenham Hotspur needs.
"You two big tyrants, you don’t need money anyway, so you just stare at Chelsea. Whoever they like, you can dig whomever. I don’t believe it. He is more rich than you. Abramović can be better than you. money?"
Daniel Levy and Mubarak looked at each other, and both saw the helpless smile in each other's eyes.
What kind of boss there really is, there are what kind of subordinates.
Only a person like Young Master Huan could bring a man like Peter Kenyon.
Is this still the polite and bald-headed Premier League back then?
Just when they got together and were joking, the door of the meeting room suddenly opened, and Yang Huan and Hamad walked into the meeting room side by side, talking and laughing.
Although Young Master Huan was long overdue, everyone in the conference room didn't have the slightest complaint, and they all greeted him immediately.
Everton boss Bill Kenwright, who was still on the sidelines, said nothing to Abramovich. He also immediately succumbed to him. He threw Abramovich aside and welcomed Yang. Go up.
This made Abramovich stand there, extremely embarrassed.
It's not true to meet up, nor to sit down.
Looking at how Yang Huan was polite with everyone, Abramovich's eyes glared as if he was about to breathe fire.
I will want you to look good sooner or later!
You wait and see!
