The opening partner Harland swept the European powers

Sunderland Club!

In the 2017-18 season, he finished last with 37 points and was relegated to League One!

Founded in 1879, this ancient giants with 6 top flight titles, 2 FA Cup titles, 1 English Community Shield title, 5 English Football League titles, 1 English League Championship title, and 1 League One title in hand have finally declined.



Sunderland Club Historic Honour, Sunderland

was still playing in the Premier League in previous seasons!

It was relegated to the Championship last season, and the fans were full of expectations for the club, hoping that Sunderland could return to the Premier League after a year!

As time went by, the fans became less and less demanding, from the very beginning of the upgrade to relegation!

However, things turned out unexpectedly!

Sunderland failed to relegate!

Currently, the team's head coach is Coleman, the team's second manager this season, and before that, the England manager, Grayson!

Because of the poor record, the class was left halfway, and the club top invited the manager of the Welsh national team, Coleman!

However, the effect is not ideal.

Coleman and Sunderland's contracts have not expired, but he himself has the idea of leaving.

Even the manager wants to leave, let alone the core players of the first team!

Thinking of this, Chen Lin had a little headache, and then looked down on the information he had collected so far.

The goalkeepers are: 28-year-old Steele, who joined from Blackburn Rovers in the summer window in 2017 for a transfer fee of €560,000, has made 15 appearances for the team this season.

No clean sheets, mediocre performance, in League One, can be the main goalkeeper, but the contract between the two sides is about to expire, the player has the idea of leaving.

In addition to Steele, the goalkeeper position is 31-year-old Ruiter!

He joined from Utrecht on a free agent in the summer window of 2017 and has made 20 appearances this season, and has been in decent form and has no intention of leaving.

Originally, there should be one more person in the goalkeeper position - Kemp!

However, he was loaned out of Cardiff City and is now on lease and has returned to the team!

So, in the goalkeeper position, there are only two players left in the team!

Look at the defender again: Mark Wilson, who joined from Bournemouth on a free agent last summer window, expires and is leaving, and the 31-year-old veteran Billy Jones, who has been in the squad for 14 years, is also leaving!

These two have conveyed to the club the idea of leaving, in other words, they will definitely go!

Jiang Guangtai, the main central defender on loan from Everton this season, has left!

As a result, the club's defenders are left with only Orvieto, who joined from Everton for €2 million in the summer window of '17, Adam Matthews and Loew, who spent €1.1 million from Manchester United Under-21 in the summer window of '16.

and the 23-year-old McNair who spent €5.2 million from Manchester United in the summer window of '16!

It's stretched!

Chen Lin silently circled a mark and looked at the midfield position.

This season's main midfielder, in the summer window of '16, Gabonese midfielder Ndon, who was brought in from Lorient and cost the club €20 million, is about to expire and has the idea of leaving the team.

Chen Lin specially checked the information of this kid, he is 24 years old this year, he plays quite well, and it is remarkable!

You can consider keeping it, after all, you are not too old, and you can use it as a cornerstone on the road to reconstruction!

Principal midfielder Jonathan Williams, loaned from Crystal Palace, has left.

Heeneyman, who came through the Sunderland Academy and was promoted to the first team in 15 years, has also revealed the idea of leaving.

There is also a 14-year summer window, Sunderland brought in from Manchester City, spent 14.5 million euros to buy Rodwell, after the contract expires, does not plan to renew the contract!

Leaving these men alone, Sunderland's only midfielders remain, Gibson, 31, and Cartmore, 30.

6 people, only 2 left!

Chen Lin smiled bitterly!

The change of forward position does not have to be worse in the midfield position!

First of all, the team's No.11, the main striker Graban, who has scored 12 goals this season, has reached his loan spell and returned to Bournemouth!

Secondly, 19-year-old Asolo, who was promoted to the first team in 16 years and has performed well in the past two years, also has the idea of leaving.

Finally, Hazri, the captain of the national team who recently ended his World Cup trip in Tunisia, has expressed his intention to leave the club through his agent.

There are also some veterans, who walk and retreat.

If it weren't for Sunderland's own relatively complete youth training system, he had promoted some good young players in recent years.

On the front line, I really can't even get together 3 people!

Thinking of this, Chen Lin felt that he had to lay out as soon as possible, speed up the acquisition process, and make up the talents lacking in various positions with Old Tom, so that Sunderland could get on the right track as soon as possible!

If you wait until the World Cup is over to do these things, I'm afraid it's a little late.

With this thought, Chen Lin called Chen Feng.

......

Rostov Stadium.

The 1/8 final between Belgium and Japan has come to an end.

In this game, Belgium let two chase three, Chen Feng, who started and played the whole game, contributed a pass, helping the team win the arrogant and invincible Japan!

With a perfect performance, he slapped the faces of many Japanese players such as Ying Yamaguchi!

This is a football field, not a place for fighting!

You hit me, I won't finish slapping you, I still have to hit back with a goal!

After the match, the Belgian crowd hugged together in ecstasy.

They successfully advanced to the quarterfinals and are one step closer to the Hercules Cup!

After completing the thanksgiving session, the Belgian generals walked back to the dressing room one after another and began to take a shower.

At this time, Chen Feng just finished washing, the mobile phone rang, after connecting -

Chen Lin: The situation of Sunderland's first-team players is currently a bit bad, we may have to speed up the acquisition process, and then prepare early, otherwise at the beginning of the League One season, we will be very unfavorable!

Chen Feng: How bad is it?

Chen Lin: There are only 2 players left in the goalkeeper, one of whom wants to leave, only 4 defenders, only 2 in midfield, only about 4 people in the forward line, and everyone else is ready to leave.

Chen Feng: (frowning) Is it so serious? Struggling to even put together a full starter?

Chen Lin: (sighs) yes, you can't call 424, right?

Chen Feng: What do you think?

Chen Lin: I have already negotiated with the owner of Sunderland, the purchase price of 24 million euros, you first give me 30 million euros, I will use the MON Group to buy the club first.

Chen Feng: And then?

Chen Lin: I plan to invest the rest of the money in the operation of the club first, try to renew the contract with those valuable players first, and then introduce some young players with Tom Sr.!

Chen Feng: (Contemplation) I see....
