One of the first things Don did when he started working was to turn down other clubs to George. Wood, Gareth. Quotes from Bale, Pepe, Kompany and others. Real Madrid's offer for Van der Vaart was also rejected. However, unlike the previous rejections, this time the reason is not that Rafael is not for sale, but that Real Madrid does not offer a high enough price.

After much consideration, Donn decided to sell Van der Vaart. Based on the following points: first, Van der Vaart himself did not have the intention of staying at Nottingham Forest; Second, he may be sold for a good price; Three, Don is ready for the back road.

Van der Vaart is gone, and Shaheen, who is too young and Thiago, and George. Wood is no longer the defensive midfielder he used to be.

Although the global economic crisis has affected the financial situation of football clubs, Spanish teams are not the same as Premier League teams. They're membership-based clubs, and they never have to worry about how to make money – they can't make money, they're non-profit organizations – they just have to think about how to spend their money. As a deep-pocketed Real Madrid, this is hardly a problem.

Since Real Madrid see Nottingham Forest as a supermarket for players, Donn doesn't mind a few more stabs on this customer.

His reply was less than 30 million euros, don't come to talk to him.

He is not afraid of scaring Real Madrid away, anyway, if Van der Vaart does not leave, he has nothing to lose, and he may still be a little happy to see it happen.

Real Madrid have not reacted to this new offer for a while. They just knew that Donn would not stop Van der Vaart from leaving, so the next thing was nothing more than money, so it was easy to say.

※※※Seventeen-year-old John. Bostok and seventeen-year-old Niklas. Milan received the first team assistant coach David respectively. A call from Chris Lack. They were informed that they would not have to go back to the youth team after the start of the training camp for the new season, but would go directly to the first team to report.

The news left the two little ones ecstatic. They trained in the youth team for a year and finally got the chance to play for the first team. The team's current crisis of not having the money to buy people may not be good news for the club, but for the young players, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you grasp it, you can go all the way to the top, and success is not a problem.

Although Milan is Chilean, he does not have the problem of not being able to play because he has not obtained a labor permit. Over the past year, Niklas. Milan obtained Italian citizenship and now he is a dual Chilean-Italian citizen who does not need a labor permit to play.

In Donn's new plan, Bostok will play the role of playmaker in midfield alongside Shaheen, while Milan will be the striker for Forest.

Bostock has been named in the England Under-18s squad and has been named one of England's top 10 most promising and promising under-18 stars by the English press after a number of outstanding performances in the FA Youth Cup last year. Arsenal's Jack. Wilshere came in first, and John. Bostok was seventh. He once made Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United fight for the head, but in the end, it was Tony Toni who was left to fight. After taking advantage of the fisherman's fortune and placing him in the youth team for another season, the future England squad finally has the chance to prove himself at a higher level.

Nuri, who is about to turn twenty-one. Shahin, 22-year-old George. Wood, nineteen-year-old Allen. Lennon, and the seventeen-year-old John. Bostoke, the youngest midfielder in England for Forest.

This can show Don's determination to set off a storm of youth.

Nicholas. Milan were already making a splash in Chilean football at the age of 14 years and nine months when he played for Chilean giants Colo Colo Colo's first team, setting a record for the youngest player to make his debut. His performances then caught the attention of many teams in Europe. But in the end, it was Tony. Donn made the first move and brought Milan to England.

Milan's technical characteristics and Manchester United's Cristiano. Ronaldo is somewhat similar in that he likes to attack opposition defences on the wings, use his speed and technique to get past defenders and then threaten the goal directly. At the same time, he, like Robinho, likes to pedal bicycles.

After more than a year of training with Forest's youth team, Mason Greenwood has managed to teach Milan one thing – liking to play on the wings doesn't mean limiting yourself to the wings. He needs to make himself more well-rounded, otherwise he won't be able to survive in the brutal European professional leagues.

Now he is consciously developing towards the middle lane. After all, Donn needs a striker, not just a winger. But this change will take time, and it will have to be done slowly. Cristiano. It has been five seasons since Ronaldo went from a winger who could only delight the crowd with his fancy skills on the flanks to a killer with more than 40 goals in a single season.

Donn didn't expect Milan to burst into a dazzling glow this season and become famous. Since it is decided to use more young people, we must be prepared to bear the side effects brought by young people. It takes time to rebuild the team.

In addition, right wing-back Adriano, who has been on loan for two seasons. Mock has also been included in the first-team plan for Donn this time around, and he will be used as a substitute for Lennon. Greenwood didn't have a hard time doing that. Originally, among this group of players, Mock's level was outstanding. Greenwood believes that if he uses it well, Mock will definitely surprise Donn. The only problem is Mock's injury-prone physique, which was a blow to him after he was injured for two months after being out on loan last season.

Joining Mock in the first-team pre-season warm-up camp for Donn was left midfielder Chris. Cohen (chris_cohen). Cohen is 22 years old and has not had much of a standout since moving up from youth to reserves, and was loaned to Sheffield Wednesday last season, but instead burst onto the scene, making 31 appearances in the Championship and regularly performing well. So much so that when it came time to return to Nottingham Forest at the end of the season, a fax from Sheffield Wednesday followed behind Cohen's butt and asked if Nottingham Forest could sell Cohen to them. Such a move has piqued Donn's interest, and he intends to take a closer look at what has changed in the previously unobtrusive player and what advantages he can use for himself.

Compared to the more talented and speedy Mock, Cohen is very average in terms of technical metrics and is less prone to injury.

In previous seasons, it has been rare for Donn to draw so many players from the youth team into the first team in one go, and he still believes in those who have proven their ability. Even Lennon and Bell were because they had proven themselves in the world before Donn crossed over.

This time, Don completely put aside the so-called super consciousness - in fact, he didn't have any advanced consciousness. Ignorance of the future makes him excited. How many of these people will eventually succeed and eventually grow into the biggest stars in world football in the future? As soon as Don thought about the possibilities that existed in the future, he was looking forward to it. This is more rewarding than relying on cheating to sign Lennon and Bale.

※※※ Sending four players from the youth team to the first team at a time does not mean that Don will not make a move in the transfer market.

Real Madrid made a second bid of €30 million for Van der Vaart. This time Don waved his hand - agreed! The Real Madrid people went to negotiate personal terms with Van der Vaart's agent. As for whether it can be negotiated, Don doesn't care. He only cares about how much of the 25 million euros he can use for himself.

Arshavin was also tempted by the Italian side. Juventus want to bring in the new Russian tsar for 18 million euros. And Arshavin also revealed his willingness to go to the new league in an interview with the Italian media. For him, even if Nottingham Forest won two European Champions Cups, it would still be a small temple. Traditional giants like Juventus are more attractive.

Upon learning of Arshavin's statement, Don rejected Juventus' offer – not because it was not for sale, but because it was too little for money – and made an offer that he could accept: 26 million euros. Love to buy or not to buy.

Juventus flinched...... Although Juventus shrank at a critical moment, Bayern Munich stepped up. They have made an offer of €25 million for Forest in the hope of bringing in Arshavin. Don insisted on a minimum of 26 million, either we made a deal, or everyone broke up.

Bayern Munich hesitated for a while and finally agreed to the price.

Although he did not go to Juventus, the traditional giants of Serie A, it is not bad for Arshavin to be able to go to Bayern Munich, the traditional giants of the Bundesliga.

On the same day that Van der Vaart signed his personal contract with Real Madrid, Arshavin also reached an agreement with Bayern Munich.

All three clubs were announced at the same time. Van der Vaart joined La Liga giants Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 30 million euros and signed a four-year contract, wearing the number 23 shirt. Arshavin moved to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for a transfer fee of 26 million euros and signed a four-year contract.

The media has had mixed reviews of the two transfers. Arshavin's departure is understandable and acceptable, as he has not been at the heart of Nottingham Forest's attack. But Van der Vaart's departure is considered to be Tony's. Donn's stupor, the loss of the core of the midfield to organize the attack, how will Nottingham Forest play next season? Long pass rushing to beat Kic? Or do you want to go completely out of the way?

Nurui. Shaheen is not at the same level as Van der Vaart in everyone's minds. It would be foolish for him to want to replace Van der Vaart and play the role of the Dutchman. As for Bostoke? He's still too young...... So Donn let Van der Vaart go so easily for 30 million, what did he think in his heart?

In fact, Don didn't think much about it, he did plan to put Shahin on the throne, assisted by Bostok. But if it turns out that Shaheen is too young to take on such an important responsibility, Don has a trick up his sleeve. This latter move will take a greater risk, and it will definitely be scolded by the media. But for Donn, that sense of accomplishment is also the greatest.

The trick is simple, it's not new at all, and it's not necessarily clever - he'll make George. Wood went to organize the attack.

Exciting, right? Let a blue-collar worker become a white-collar worker, a gold-collar worker. It was Albertini still alive when he was still on the scene against George. Wood's highest expectation, Donn's belief that after so many years of training, it was time to give Wood a chance.

If Wood succeeds. So a midfielder who has both offense and defense, a midfielder who can't run and can fight back and attack on the spot, if he can practice his shooting well...... It's really YY when I think about it.

The departure of Arshavin has forced Donn to continue to add players up front.

Nicholas. Milan have talent, but he is too young to have any experience in European football. So you must not expect too much from him. Ruud van Nistelrooy is still recovering, and there is no hope of returning to the pitch until the end of the year, and even if he does, he will have no effect on the pitch. Naturally, Kicic is going to focus on training. But just one Kicic is clearly not enough. Eastwood is the team's most consistent striker at the moment, and although there are occasional minor injuries, it doesn't affect his goal percentage. He's the type of goalscorer who always saves the team by scoring goals at crucial moments.

He is Donn's most reassuring striker.

On top of that, you need a fast, impactful striker.

Don set his sights on Aston Villa. He has his eye on Gabriel, who had a stellar performance last season, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists in 30 appearances for Villa. Abang Laho (gabriel_agbonlahor).

Abang Lajo is very fast, especially with his start-up speed, which can easily shake off the defenders who are marking him in parallel. And he can play as both a center forward and a winger, which is very much in line with Donn's idea that he wants his players to be versatile.

For such a player, Aston Villa certainly won't let it go easily. Don decided to smash it with money.

Anyway, Evan said that since the new construction of the stadium has been temporarily suspended, then the club will naturally fully support Donne's actions in the transfer market.

How much money it wants, as long as the club can come up with it, they will do their best to support it.

For this, Don is still quite grateful to Evan. He knew that Evan was counting on making money with the club, and he was thankful that Evan was a smart businessman with a long-term vision, otherwise he might have sold the club during the economic crisis - although no one can say how many people are still interested in buying a football club at such a time.

Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa are at an impasse over Abang Lajo.

Aston Villa are adamant not to sell. The attitude is as tough as they were when they rejected Liverpool's bid for captain Barry last summer. Tony. Don tirelessly praised Abonlaho for his outstanding performance last season in the media, and did not hesitate to express his appreciation for the player. He's actually waiting for his people to get Abang Laho's agent. As long as Abonlaho comes forward to make a decision, Villa will have to seriously consider whether to let go of the speedy player.

Just when the Forest team was engaged in a dark battle with Vera, the future of Sun Jihai was also put on Donne's desk.

The player's fate was not as simple as Donn had previously thought.

Invisibly, there is a thread that links him to the future and destiny of this club.
