Harbin Yiteng 2018 Pre-season Transfers
Out
January 2018 began with 12 players leaving, most notable are Wei Jiawei(AML) and Ding Jie(DR)who left as they would not agree to new contacts and wanted more playing time.
By the end of window I have offloaded quite a few reserves players and sent a few out on loan, Qiang being the major one as he is a promising midfielder for me but I felt he won't get enough game time as I signed a few experienced midfielders. Profit of
769K CNY
In
League Rules
Maximum of 5 foreign players (Michel Lugo, Therlo Moosa and Akinobu Abe)
Maximum of 4 foreign players(not including Asian players) - (Michel Lugo, Therlo Moosa)
Maximum of 0 foreign goalkeepers
Seven players brought in, no foreign players despite signing 3 Hong Kong internationals. They are classified as non-foreign under league rules. I had plenty of transfer budget to use but I felt I wanted cheap bargain buys, bought 3 players on free and kept transfer fees low, picking up a cheap signing from our rivals A'erbin!
Reason for Hong Kong buys? Michel Lugo previously played there and he turned out well for me so I had scouts to dig in deeper and found a few good players that could potentially be good for us.
Players
First up is
Sean Tse, Hong Kong international was playing in the Hong Kong League until I activated his minimum fee release clause. A good defensive mid who also can play at center back and in midfield. Also a former Manchester City academy player.
Signed for 350K CNY
Hu Yanqiang comes in as a talented back up to Abe on right wing. I decided to grab him on a free as Abe has been reluctant to open talks to sign a new contract which expires at end of season.(Dislikes me for some reason, little ****!) Anyway Hu looks a promising winger, good pace and teamwork skills. Determination a bit low at 5 but I hope he can improve a bit.
Signed on free
Li Tixiang, is an experienced midfielder who brings in much needed set piece taking skills as that was an area last season we did poorly in. Has great composure and can be a creative player. Will be looking to start him regularly in midfield.
Signed on free
Another experienced Hong Kong international,
Shay Spitz fills in the left back position, possessing good defensive skills for Super League level. Most expensive player of the window as I signed him for
600K from Eastern. Also kudos for an interesting last name! "Spitz on goal!"
