Chapter 10: The Forest in the Transfer Market (Part II)
Ribery suddenly screamed loudly, alarming all the occupants of the house, who stood on the stairs and looked suspiciously at the scarfaced lad who was screaming in circles around the porch. The chubby landlord squeezed out from behind the crowd and cried out in a louder voice than Ribery, and only when he was completely suppressed did Ribery stop this crazy move.
"Frank, what's wrong with you?" The fat landlord asked.
Ribery shouted: "I'm going to England, I'm going to England!" ”
"Britain? Isn't it just across the sea? Where do you go and what do you do? A tall, thin man wearing only a pair of pants asked.
"Go kick! Play Pro Football!! "The thought of that call, and his future in England, made Ribery's face twist with excitement." I...... I'm going to treat you to dinner! Drink! I want to celebrate! ”
The landlord spread his hands and said with a straight face, "Okay, Frank, since you have money, give me last month's rent first." ”
At the mention of this, Ribery's eyebrows drooped again: "Do you owe it first, Aunt Emma?" You know I'm ...... right now."
Looking at his embarrassment, the landlord smiled, she moved down the stairs, and gave Ribery a hug: "Okay, don't worry, Frank." Good luck. Then she kissed Ribery lightly on the forehead. After her, the tenants who lived under one roof also came up to congratulate Ribery on rediscovering the team.
"Well done, Frank! Become a big star! Just like Henry! ”
"Let the whole French know that we can be stars too!"
"Frank Ribery!"
"Oh Lai! Oh Lai! ”
Ribery will feel lucky that a young player who plays in the third division will be looked upon by the Premier League team, and the biggest problem that has plagued him has been solved.
And Tony. Don also considers himself lucky that the Metz team has not yet attacked Ribery, or something has gone wrong, in short, the future main midfielder of the French national team, the Scar Warrior who shined in the World Cup in Germany, now belongs to him. Extremely fast and adept at dribbling, Ribery will be a sharp knife on the left flank of the Forest team, and he will also be able to play as a midfielder, right winger and striker. Such an all-round midfielder is still available for free, where can I find such a cheap thing?
Four days later, when the deal was finalized, the post-80s Shaolin abbot stood up to announce the confidence of the deal, even England's most knowledgeable football journalists and commentators did not know. Who is Ribery. Instead, his scarred face became the target of interest from the media. The general perception in the media about his joining is that Donn has deepened the bench without spending a penny.
Since Don has set the target of the lead in France, how can he miss this person? A day later, Forest announced that they had reached an agreement with Ligue 1 side Bastia to bring in Bastia's main right-back Pascal for £1 million. Zim Bonda (pascal_chimbonda). Zim Bonda, who was the main right-back at Battisya and scored 31 goals at home last season, has already attracted the interest of many teams, and this time Don is ahead of his rivals.
In terms of central defence, although Forest already have Gerard. Piquet and Clint. Hill, as well as Wes. Mogan, but for the Forest team, which needs to fight on multiple fronts, it is not enough.
It's just July, and the latest information about transfers on Forest's official website is constantly being refreshed.
On July 1, Nottingham Forest announced that they had reached an agreement with Birmingham City to sign Birmingham's main centre-back Matthew for £4 million. Epsom (matthew_upson). Born in the Arsenal Academy, Epson is not a top defender in the Premier League, but he can still occupy a main position in the Premier League's mid-stream teams. And the main factor that Donn likes him is that the 25-year-old Epsen has a lot of experience and has played for a number of teams compared to the other centre-backs in the team. For Epson, the move to Nottingham Forest is somewhat of a "revisit" to the old ground – he was loaned to Forest by Arsenal in the 2000/01 season, but unfortunately only played one game.
Up front, Donn dropped Gareth, who only joined the team last season. Taylor, give him two options, either accept a substitute, or transfer or go out on loan. Taylor opted for the latter, with Forest currently in contact with several teams interested in Taylor.
Ian. Jace ended his contract with Forest and opted to return to Aberdeen for retirement. Forest's midfield now lacks a player who can organise the attack while also taking a set-piece.
Don Ben has set a foot on Mikel, who has just returned to Spain from Glasgow Rangers in Scotland. Mikel Arteta (mikel_arteta) is hoping to convince him to join an ambitious Forest team. However, Arteta is not interested in the newly promoted Forest side as La Liga powerhouse Real Sociedad has made an offer to him, and as a Spaniard, the home country team is clearly a better fit for Arteta. He rejected Donn and chose to go to Real Sociedad.
Upon learning of Arteta's choice, Donn sighed. Even if he changes Pique's future trajectory, he still hasn't changed Arteta's future. Mikel. Arteta was originally another excellent product of Barcelona's academy, and was once seen as the successor to Pep Guardiola, Barcelona's number four. He plays in the middle, is good at organising attacks, and has good set-piece footwork. These are the reasons why Donn has a crush on him.
However, he chose to join Real Sociedad anyway, and it is exactly the same history that Donn remembers - Arteta, who was not able to play at Barcelona, had to move frequently to other teams in order to play, and in 2000-01, he was loaned by Barcelona to Paris Saint-Joermain, although he only played six games, but scored a goal. In the 2001-02 season, he continued to spend the 2001-02 season on loan at Paris Saint-Joelmain, where he performed mediocrely. Back at Barcelona, he found that there was no place for him, so he chose to terminate his contract with Barcelona and went on a free transfer to Glasgow Rangers in Scotland, where his two seasons in Scotland were fantastic, with him making 50 appearances for the team and scoring 10 goals. Real Sociedad then took a fancy to Arteta, who was in distant Scotland, and extended an invitation to him. When he returned to Spain with great ambition, he found that things were not as simple as he imagined, and he still did not get a chance at Real Sociedad, half a season later, in January 2005, he was loaned by Real Sociedad to Premier League side Everton, and half a season later, he moved to the Liverpool team permanently, and after a big circle, he finally found his stable home. At that time, he was already twenty-three years old, and all the time of his youth was wasted in constant wandering.
Donn would have wanted to skip Real Sociedad and bring Arteta, who was used to football, from chilly Glasgow to Nottingham. Helpless...... This is fate, everyone has their own destiny, and they must go through that ...... Arteta is not the first to put Donn in the transfer market, and he has not given up on the idea of finding a man for the team who can organise attacks in the middle of midfield. This time he had his eye on Harpy. Alonso. But given Forest's financial resources and influence, it will be too difficult to bring in the midfielder who is coveted by Real Madrid.
Alonso even refused to talk to the Forest team because he felt he couldn't possibly go to a promoted team. If he has to leave Real Sociedad, he will also go to a big team. In the end, Liverpool got him for one and a half million pounds.
After a series of setbacks in the midfield recruitment, another piece of news made Donn even worse - the Forest received a fax from the far east, Ukraine, who had made an offer of £3 million to buy Sergei. Rebrov.
