"Young Master Huan, please stay!"

When Yang Huan finished the Premier League chairman's summit in a formality, accompanied by Hamad, Mubarak and others, he had just walked out of the conference room when he was stopped by someone chasing after him.

Yang Huan turned his head and saw clearly who the person was coming, and blurted out, "Hey, Sandezi!" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized the problem.

Yayagodbe, how can he call people three virtues in front of others?

It's so unbelievable!

Fortunately, Ed Woodward didn't understand what it meant, but asked funny: "What is Sandezi?" "It looks like I'm interested in figuring it out.

Yang Huan was a little guilty, but he still nodded with a serious face: "Well, Sandezi, this is the nickname given to you by Manchester United fans in our motherland, just like Kaka and Ronaldo are nicknames, which are purely good." ”

"Oh, Sandeko, well, it's really simple and nice!"

How do you know, Yang Huan almost laughed in his heart, there is wood?

If this is known to domestic fans, it is estimated that one or two will die of laughter.

"By the way, Ed, are you looking for me?" Yang Huan hurriedly changed the topic.

"It's something." After saying that, Woodward also secretly glanced at Hamad and Mubarak and others.

Yang Huan didn't understand where he was, and immediately glanced at them, "You go downstairs and wait for me first." ”

Hamad, Mubarak and others looked at Woodward curiously, but they obediently left.

Only Ryugo was left, but he also walked away a little.

"Young Master Huan, please come here!"

Yang Huan nodded, followed him, and came to the window at the end of the corridor outside the conference room.

Because they came out of the conference room and went directly to the elevator, they didn't need to go through the window at all, so they were here to talk, and they were not afraid of being overheard, or coming to disturb them.

"What the hell is going on?" Yang Huan thinks, is this guy too careful?

Woodward smiled slightly, "Young Master Huan, I heard that Southampton is interested in selling James Rodriguez?" ”

"Who said that?" Yang Huan's face sank, and his brows furrowed.

Woodward had been staring at Young Master Huan all the time, and when he looked at his expression, he wondered a little in his heart, could it be that his intelligence was wrong? Or is it just the news that the teams out there want to bring in James Rodriguez have broken up on their own?

"I just read it in the newspaper, so I asked."

Who knows, as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huan immediately shook his head categorically, "No, we are not short of money at all, there is no need to sell James Rodriguez, and with his age, strength and potential, how can he sell it easily?" ”

"I know!" Woodward smiled and nodded.

"But, Master Huan, as far as I know, Southampton's midfield is a bit overcrowded at the moment."

That's true.

Although Southampton has taken a Modric in midfield this season, they have brought in a Cesc Fabregas.

And there is also a blockbuster reinforcement that Yang Huan and Bielsa are very looking forward to, making the team's midfield full of talent.

Toni Kroos, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, James Rodriguez, Oscar, Kaka, Mateo Kovacic, Cesc Fabregas and Academy youngster Prowse, who will be promoted to the first team this season.

If you count the player that Yang Huan mainly introduced, there are a total of ten players in the midfield, but they have to compete for three, or four positions, even if there are many players who are all-rounders, even if the team has to fight on multiple fronts, it is still too much.

In this case, it is understandable to sell James Rodriguez, who has shone in the World Cup.

"Ed, get straight to the point!" Yang Huan smiled slightly, and simply stopped talking to him.

Woodward also thinks that it would be better not to be verbose and sloppy.

"I believe that Young Master Huan should also know, and I am not afraid to be honest, our summer transfer this season has been working very badly, first the head coach has been undecided so far, and then several players who have been favored by the team have stayed in the team, and those who have been robbed by others have also been robbed, so ......"

Manchester United's manager originally had his eye on Van Gaal, but who knew that Van Gaal went to Tottenham Hotspur.

Then it was Jurgen Klopp, but Klopp went to Inter Milan.

After that, the Red Devils poached Simeone, but Simeone was ambitious and wanted to make a career at Atletico Madrid, so how could he be willing to take over the mess of Manchester United?

In the end, there is still no answer to who the new manager of Manchester United will be.

If that's all there is to it, that's all, and what is even more worrying is the team's recruitment.

Since February last season, Manchester United has drawn up a detailed recruitment plan, and is also operating some important players in the list, but unexpectedly, they have lost one after another.

First is Bayern Munich's midfielder, Schweinsteiger.

However, after Manchester United made contact with Bayern Munich, Rummenigge told him that Schweinsteiger would switch to Louis van Gaal and go to Tottenham Hotspur.

Then there is Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas, but before he has made contact with Barcelona, Manchester United received news that Fabregas will move to Southampton, and Pedro, another player that Manchester United has a fancy, will transfer to Atletico Madrid.

The setbacks in midfield and up front are just as problematic as the reinforcements at the back.

Atletico Madrid's Miranda and Felipe left for Tottenham Hotspur, with United's centre-back first-choice Hummels announcing his stay at Borussia Dortmund and rejecting Manchester United's offer.

And when the team once again targeted Atletico Madrid and wanted to bring in Otamendi, the Sheets Army, which had become deep-pocketed, directly rejected Manchester United's request and kept Otamendi.

As a result, Manchester United's entire backline has reached a stalemate.

Not only are the board and management dissatisfied, but even the fans are very upset.

There are even fans who have nicknamed Manchester United ...... Raise the price!

It's really unbearable for uncles and aunts!

Manchester United are now targeting Arsenal's Vermaelen, but the Gunners would prefer Vermaelen to go to Barcelona.

Another target is Inter Milan's Ranocchia.

The Nerazzurri don't mind negotiating with Manchester United, only? The price offered is a bit too high.

The current Manchester United has just signed a sky-high contract with Adidas, with a transfer budget of 150 million pounds, but it turns out that not a single player can get it.

It can only be said that now, the competition for first-line stars among Europe's giants has become completely white-hot.

Manchester United's current midfield also needs to be strengthened, with two targets being Southampton's James Rodriguez and Real Madrid's Angel Di Maria.

The former is preferred as he has already proven himself at Southampton and is also more comfortable with the pace of the Premier League.

So, Sandezi, oh no, it's Ed Woodward who has to come to talk to Young Master Huan in person this time, so that he must take down James Rodriguez.

"Master Huan, we hope to be able to bring in James Rodriguez, and for this, we are willing to pay a transfer fee of 60 million pounds!" Woodward asked himself with a high degree of sincerity.

Sixty million pounds, which is already a sky-high price for James Rodriguez.

But who knows, as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huan laughed directly.

"Ed, you know what?" Yang Huan looked at Woodward with a smile, and he felt that he needed to remind some Manchester United CEOs about the current transfer market, "Just yesterday, Paris Saint-Germain also offered a transfer fee of 80 million euros to James Rodriguez, but we rejected it!" ”

"Eighty million euros?" Woodward was immediately dumbfounded.

At the current exchange rate, 60 million pounds is about 72 million euros.

Unexpectedly, Paris Saint-Germain's local tyrant directly gave 80 million euros and was rejected?

This immediately made his heart fall to the bottom, because he knew very well that even if Manchester United offered the same price as Paris Saint-Germain, Southampton would not be able to sell it to Manchester United.

The reason is very simple, in the same league, poaching between strong teams and strong teams, it is always more difficult to operate.

For the same price, Southampton would prefer to see James Rodriguez go to other leagues rather than stay in the Premier League.

The transfer market is crazy right now!

Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Barcelona, this group of local tyrant teams, snatching people, one is more ferocious than the other, how can honest people live?

But Woodward immediately recognized a problem.

"Young Master Huan, please give me a little more time, I'll go back and talk to the board of directors immediately, we are very sincere in bringing in James Rodriguez, really!"

Obviously, the authority given to him by the Manchester United board of directors is almost at the top.

If he wanted to quote a higher price, he would have to go back and ask for instructions.

Yang Huan nodded, "Okay, but you should know that I can't promise you anything." ”

Woodward understands that the transfer market is unpredictable and who knows what will happen in the next moment?

Especially the local tyrant, who burned the money, didn't blink his eyes.

If the other party directly quoted an astonishing price, how could Southampton refuse?

"Okay, it's nothing, I'll go first, you think about it again!"

After speaking, Yang Huan nodded towards Woodward and left.

He still has important things to talk about with Mubarak and Hamad.

Woodward stood there, watching Young Master Huan leave, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He has been in the management of Manchester United for many years, and he also knows that in the past few years, Manchester United's recruitment has always been in pursuit of value for money.

But the problem is that European football in these days is about getting what you pay for.

In the Ferguson era, Manchester United always waited on the sidelines, and the attack up front, especially on the two flanks, was weak for a long time, and after sending away Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson has not brought in a strong winger.

This is especially true in the midfield!

The whole world knows that the worst thing about Manchester United is the midfield, and if it weren't for Michael Carrick, Manchester United's midfield would have been finished.

But Ferguson is capable, relying on his superhuman coaching experience and Manchester United's excellent running system without the ball, to support Manchester United's success.

But now the situation is different, with Alex Ferguson gone, David Moyes coming and going, and United are long gone.

Players such as Nani, Ashley Young, Valencia and others who were barely able to use during the Ferguson era are now no longer available.

Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie are already in old age, and Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Evra are already ageing, and the entire Manchester United squad has simply become a mess, full of holes.

Last season, the team's results plummeted, lost the Champions League qualification, the Premier League ranking was bad, the team's income was greatly affected, and the stock price also fell again and again.

For this reason, the pressure on Woodward is also quite high, and he must do everything he can to revive the team's stock price.

But in order to boost the team's stock price, it is necessary to improve the confidence of shareholders, increase the team's income, and it is necessary to show results.

If you want to get results, you have to be willing to invest!

Now, the worst question is not whether United want to retaliate with signings.

But even if Manchester United wants to retaliate for reinforcements, they can't bring in players, which is a fatal problem!

So, this James Rodriguez, no matter what, will take it!
