Chapter 77 The Future of 3.6 million (Part 2)

George Wood signed his name on an eight-year contract, and Nottingham Forest fans are happy to see young players put their future in the Forests instead of going anywhere else for money.

After completing Wood's contract, Don Eun also won another very important player acquisition.

It's about Ashley Young. The Forests' first offer of 500,000 pounds, Watford was unmoved. The second offer rose to 600,000, Watford was still unmoved.

At this time, Alan Adams had given Ashley Young 100,000 pounds to Ashley Young. Ashley Young told Watford Club clearly that he hoped the club would let him go to the Forests. Because he can't play at all here now, he is already eighteen years old. If he can't get enough time to play, it will be of no benefit to his ability growth.

Then Tang En made a call to Yang, and he promised Yang the main position on the phone. At the same time, he hoped that Yang would continue to cooperate with the Forest team, accept interviews from one or two media outlets, disclose his idea of ​​coming to the Forest team, and create pressure on the Watford club.

Ashley Yang, who was guaranteed to be the main position, was naturally happy to do it according to Don't En's request. A day later, he was interviewed by Nottingham Evening Post reporter Pierce Bruce at his doorstep. Almost all the interview topics revolved around Nottingham Forest and Tony Don't En.

Ashley Young expressed his yearning for playing under Coach Donn in the interview. By the way, the Forests' five consecutive wins in the league were mentioned. He believed that all the great contributions should be remembered on Tony Donn. When he was still wearing a Watford jersey, he had already begun to praise the glorious history of Nottingham Forest.

"... Nottingham Forest has a brilliant history. If I can play in such a team, I feel like a dream! You know, young players are at the fastest level in my age group. It is very necessary to participate in the game to accumulate experience. Since I don't have many opportunities to play at Watford, why don't I change the environment?"

When such an interview was in the media, the Watford Club already knew that they could not retain the hope star in the team. The only thing they could do now is to make more money through Ashley Young's transfer, and make up for the losses on personnel with money.

But Allen was unwilling to be a sucker. He quoted Watford for the last time - 700,000 pounds, not even one more son. Anyway, the players' attitude is there, you can do it yourself. At worst, our Forest team will change the target. 700,000 can buy good players in the First Division.

Just after the Forests made a offer, Ashley Young called the team's head coach and told the team that he was injured and could not report on training at the team, so he needed to take a day off.

Things have reached this point, what else can Watford club say? They know in their hearts how could such a coincidence be? It must be that Forests had colluded with the players in private. But even if they know in their hearts, there is no evidence at hand that they can make them foul FA and FIFA.

In this way, Nottingham Forest bought Watford's tomorrow star Ashley Young for a transfer fee of £700,000.

But Don't stops in the transfer market. The team still has big problems with the two full-backs on both sides. At the same time, after Rebrov changed to midfield, the team only had three forwards, which was obviously not enough to cope with the remaining half season, the league and league cup double-line combat requirements.

The team's right back had problems last season. Later, Done asked John Thompson to play right back and was proven to be very successful. Now it's the left back that has become the weak link of the Forests. Although Gareth Bale is talented, he is only fourteen years old after all, and he cannot quench his near thirst. The team still needs to search for qualified left backs in the market.

Donn doesn't know much about the League One. But he has experts in this regard. He told old scout Moore that the team now needs a young left-back who has potential, can be cultivated and has a lot of room for appreciation. After hearing this question, Moore wrote the answer: Leighton Barnes (leighton_baines). Wigan's young player can only play substitutes on the team at present. Tony Donn, if he needs to, as long as he promises him the main position like he acquires Ashley Young, I believe that neither Wigan nor Barnes himself will refuse to refuse the offer.

Don En stared at the name for a long time and finally remembered who this person was... In the 2006-07 Premier League season, Wigan's captain, the landlord left-back of the Inger U21 national team, made Manchester United coach Ferguson publicly expressed his hope to introduce rookies.

But at this time, Barnes was still serving as a substitute for Wigan, and Don knew that he had made money.                                                                                                                 �

So he didn't say anything. He asked Wigan to buy Layton Barnes, and the offer was 400,000 pounds. This price is not low for a young defender who has just played in the first team. Wigan has no reason to refuse. The deal! The future Wigan captain was intercepted by Donne in the middle of the way.

With Leiden Barnes, and Norwegian David Oye, the Forests' left-back position can finally reassure Done.

Tang En has a suitable candidate for the forward position.

Later, Liverpool and England's tycoon killers liked to dance robots after scoring goals. Crouch was very unhappy at Aston Villa. Crouch debuted at Tottenham Hotspur, but he started to be noticed by other teams in Portsmouth. He scored 18 goals in thirty-seven games in a season. He was then bought by Aston Villa for 5 million pounds to play, but he has never regained his glory in Portsmouth.

He joined Aston Villa in the second half of the season, and scored two goals in seven games. Then he played fourteen times for the team in the 202-03 season, but not a single goal. He finished the first half of the season, played sixteen times, and started almost every game, but only scored four goals...

Such a result is really terrible for the main striker.

Aston Villa began to regret his impulse, and they were now eager to take action against this tall man who was like a bamboo pole. So Nottingham Forest appeared in time. They proposed a plan to rent first and then buy Aston Villa, that is, to rent Crouch until the end of this season. If he performs well, he will buy him out for 1.8 million pounds.

Premier League team Aston Villa agreed to this plan, and the rest was to talk to Crouch about personal treatment. Donne was originally worried that Crouch, who played the main striker in Premier League teams, might not be willing to play in the League One, but he didn't expect this was not a problem at all. Crouch also wanted to play in a different environment, and the league that made him famous was the League One.

The players had no objection, and things were simple. The Forest team and Aston Villa reached a loan first and then buy agreement, and Crouch did not make things difficult for the forest in personal treatment, and he was willing to do so. Donne got the highest forward in the history of the future England national team, Pete Crouch (peter_croouch), who was two meters tall.

Two days before the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Donn attended a press conference with all the players who joined the team during the winter transfer period, simply introducing these new players to the public.

Freddy Eastwood (100,000 pounds transferred from Grace Athletics), Clint Hill (300,000 pounds transferred from Oldham), Robert Hutter (300,000 pounds transferred from Chelsea), Chris Commons (300,000 pounds transferred from Stoke City), George Wood (1.8 million pounds transferred from Leeds United), Ashley Young (700,000 pounds transferred from Watford), Layton Barnes (400,000 pounds transferred from Wigan Athletics), Pitt Crouch (1.8 million pounds rented first and then bought from Aston Villa).
