Volume 6 Crimson Chapter 78 Forest Wings

The World Cup is over, and some people are happy and some are worried, and it is no longer something that Don En should care about. He was thinking about how to make the most of the £50 million transfer budget the club had given.

Bentley's performance at the World Cup was nowhere near that of George. Wood was so radiant, but Donn was basically sure of his quality and form, and had already entrusted the club to ask Tottenham for a price while the World Cup was still underway.

Tottenham initially did not agree to sell England's starting right-back, so Donn took the time to meet with Bentley's agent during the World Cup and linked him up with Bentley. Bentley has told Donn that he wants to join Nottingham Forest as Forest can play in next season's Champions Cup, while Tottenham are just qualifying for the UEFA Cup.

So Done wanted Bentley to put pressure on Tottenham himself and have a showdown with Levy.

Bentley promised to do it after the World Cup. Now he just wants to play well in the World Cup.

After the World Cup, he once again urged Bentley to have a showdown with Tottenham Hotspur through his agent.

First of all, Tony. Donn has publicly declared his admiration for Bentley, who used his work to build momentum during the World Cup broadcast.

Bentley then responded with a push. In an interview with reporters, he expressed his gratitude to Tony. He was very pleased with Coach Donn's appreciation. He thinks Tony. Done is England's best manager right now because he can lead the team to titles. Interview with his Pierce. Bruce asked very well, "What if you play under him?" Bentley laughed and replied, "I think that must be great!" ”

Well, now that Lang has a concubine, it depends on what Tottenham Hotspur says.

After the World Cup, Bentley had a private conversation with Tottenham Hotspur manager Edward Redknapp Sr. During this meeting, Bentley made it clear to Redknapp his desire to leave Tottenham and pursue title glory at Nottingham Forest. He wants the team to support his personal pursuits, and it's not about the salary.

In fact, after the Berbatov incident, Tottenham Hotspur should have made it clear that as long as the player himself wants to go, it will not help to force him to stay.

If Levy had been smart, he should not have continued to reject Nottingham Forest's "sincerity". Instead, think carefully about how much money you can sell Bentley for.

Tottenham Hotspur agreed to Bentley's departure after two days of consideration. The rest is simple, it's nothing more than a question of how much money is appropriate.

Tottenham paid £15 million to buy Bentley. With the advent of the world financial crisis, clubs have spent more sensibly in the transfer market, and the value of players has generally fallen, and Bentley is no exception. It would be nice to be able to sell for fifteen million. In fact, Tottenham have offered Forest £15 million and they hope they will at least not lose money.

And Allen. Adams insisted that Forest could only contribute £11 million.

The negotiations were deadlocked for a week, and in the end both sides gave in. Sold for £13.5 million. Forest made an initial payment of £11 million and gave Tottenham a further £2.5 million when Bentley made 30 appearances for Forest.

The contract for personal treatment has been negotiated for a long time.

Less than two weeks after the World Cup, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur jointly announced England's "new Beckham" David Brown. Bentley has officially moved from Tottenham to Forest for a fee of £13.5 million.

※※※After Donn threw the negotiation matter to Allen, he was busy looking for the left wing of the team.

After sifting back and forth, he set his sights on the left midfielder of La Liga powerhouse Villarreal, Mathias. Fernandez.

On the one hand, Fernandez has a desire to leave the submarine, and although Villarreal has been guaranteed to participate in the European Champions Cup in recent seasons, it is tantamount to a dream to win the title. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, have just won the competition in the first two seasons. The difference between Villarreal and Nottingham Forest is easy to see by the discerning eye.

On the other hand, Villarreal also need money, as a small club, the budget has always been tight, and they can only make money by selling stars. If Forest want to buy Fernandez, the club side should not be an obstacle.

Donne's buying is still a two-step strategy – one to find a club and the other to find a player. Before looking for a club, contact the player privately to see what he thinks. If he wants to come, then focus on the club, if he doesn't want to come, he will get the players first, and if he can't do it, change the target.

This time, Fernandez did want to leave. He is eager to go to a bigger stage and to have a new challenge. It's not okay to stay in Villarreal all the time. In fact, if clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona fancy him, it will be the best result. However, these big clubs are not very interested in themselves these days, and they are only interested in some mid-range clubs. For example, Rome and Fiorentina in Italy, Schalke 04 and Bremen in the Bundesliga, Everton and Aston Villa in the Premier League, and Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia in Spain.

In this comparison, he thinks it is more cost-effective to choose Nottingham Forest. Anyway, the Forest team is also a team that has just won the European Champions Cup for two consecutive years. Although there have been some setbacks in the past two seasons, their manager who is looking for wins and championships is still there, and the foundation of this team is still there.

Mathias. Fernandez understands it this way: the backbone of a Premier League team is the manager, so as long as the manager is around, the team is not finished.

His understanding is very much in line with the current situation of most Premier League teams.

Donn assured him that playing at Forest is certainly more promising than playing at Villarreal – "because we are a team with a championship tradition".

Fernandez assured Donn that he would prioritise signing with Forest if Nottingham Forest could meet Villarreal's transfer fee conditions.

Next, Nottingham Forest made a €12 million offer to Villarreal for Fernandez.

Villarreal did not refuse the Forest team, but reopened the price: still 12 million, but please change "euros" to "pounds".

Tang En did not hesitate, nodded and agreed to the price offered by the other party.

After that, the program is to compete with several other clubs to see who can get Mathias. Fernández throws the "hydrangea".

Since an agreement has already been reached privately. Fernandez ultimately opted for a contract offered by Nottingham Forest.

And so it cost a total of twenty-five and a half million pounds, Tony. Don got the left and right wings he wanted. Bentley on the right and Fernandez on the left.

Half of the transfer budget is left, how to spend it?

※※※ "What do you think of Adriano?" While preparing for the upcoming training at the Wilford training base, Don suddenly said to Don, who was busy next to him.

"If you're interested in him, I'd say no." Tang didn't raise his head, continued to do his work, and replied to Don En.

"Hmm......" Donn didn't retort, he pinched his chin in thought.

"You're right, he's not very good." After pondering for a while, Tang En spoke. "I'm just thinking about it......"

Having only introduced the two new wings to his team-mates, fans and the media a day ago, Nottingham Forest's Kings are once again struggling with the choice of a striker.

Although Kic played much better in his second season than in the first, his contribution to the team's tactics was also remarkable. But it seems that because he always needs to be a bridgehead in his tactics, his scoring rate is on a downward trend. His assists went up and he helped the team's attack up front, but his own goal numbers didn't go up. Donn has decided to give up on developing Kicic as a pure scoring shooter, and he has found that he has done a good job at the tactical center position, and he can barely find fault with it except for scoring fewer goals.

Abang Laho is fast, very fast. But his shooting is a bit rougher, and he prefers to play on the flanks because there's plenty of room for him to burst. He's better than anyone else when he hits counter-attacks, but Forest can't always counter-attack. This set has long been thoroughly studied by their opponents.

Eastwood are in solid form, provided they don't get hurt. Forest will have to play on two fronts at least, and Done can't expect Eastwood to play all of a season alone.

Milan and Moses were too young to be expected to take on the task.

Therefore, the Forest team still needs to strengthen the strength of the forward line.

In order to make room for the new striker, Donn decided to send Moses and Milan out on loan. These two little guys are in demand due to their excellent performances last season, and Don doesn't need to worry about where they go.

So the only question now is - which striker is better to buy?

Donne now has a maximum of £30 million left at his disposal for uh transfer fees – after buying Bentley and Fernandez, Allen Brown. Adams has added another £5 million transfer budget for Donne. It looks like the Forest team really wants to make a big splash in the new season.

Who can you buy for 30 million? In fact, there are a lot of people who can buy it, but there are very few people who can buy it.

The financial crisis has caused the value of players to shrink, and stars who used to be sky-high are now returning to civilian color. A case in point, Real Madrid announced the acquisition of Benzema this summer, and the bargain lasted for the entire World Cup, and in the end it only cost 30 million euros. What did Olas say two years ago? "Benzema is worth 100 million euros!" At that time, the actual offer could not be less than 50 million.

Ibramovic, Eto'o, Villa, Tevez, Berbatov...... These people can meet the current transfer fee of 30 million pounds, but in the hands of the Forest team, they can't buy any of them.

On the one hand, the Forest team is still a lot worse than those real giants. On the other hand, even if they can buy these superstars, they may not be able to afford to meet their salaries. You must know that Ibramovic enjoys an annual salary of 12 million euros after tax at Inter Milan. Italy imposes a 100 per cent tax on football, and an annual salary of 12 million after tax means that Inter Milan will have to pay 24 million euros a year just for a salary of Ibrahimovic...... Even if England doesn't impose such a heavy tax on the football industry, Nottingham Forest can't afford to pay a figure of 12 million.

So Donn can only look at two types of people: one is the world-class goalscorer who has proven their status in world football for a long time, but is currently underwhelming. The other is a quasi-first-class striker who is not well-known, but his strength is acceptable.

The best candidate for the former is actually Adriano, who has spent a frustrated life at Inter Milan.

Donn had previously seriously considered how likely the Brazilian could be to join the team. First of all, although he and Mourinho are on the same page, I believe that Mourinho will not make things difficult in the matter of Adriano's transfer. Inter Milan also want to get rid of Adriano's baggage as soon as possible, and they will never allow Adriano to be sold to an Italian team, so foreign teams are the only option for the Brazilians. At the same time, Adriano and his agent will not agree to play in Brazil, so the English team is actually the best choice.

But the core problem that kept Donn hesitant was Adriano himself. This is a player who has no problem with his skills but has a big problem with his mentality. Late for training, absence, lingering in nightclubs late at night until the early hours of the morning, scooping, self-confessed big names with bad attitudes, confronting the team's head coach in person, questioning authority...... None of these questions are one that Donn doesn't hate.

He has a similar temper to Mourinho, and if Mourinho can't tolerate Adriano, then Don probably can't tolerate it either.

Maybe he can make Adriano honest for a season through various means, but Donn knows that Adriano's surname will not be so easy to reverse. Once he is back to his senses, what awaits Don is endless off-the-court scandals. Will he be able to change such a self-depraved genius?

Don and Don discussed it several times, and Don came to the same conclusion - maybe it was okay before his father died, but after his father died, it was completely out of play.

He also advised Donn: "If the club thinks you've spent tens of millions of pounds just to get him to play a good game for the team for one season, I can't guarantee what Mr Chairman will do to you. Adriano is too risky, and there are many ways to avoid it. I don't think bringing in Adriano is a good deal. ”

After several days of agonizing and repeatedly studying Adriano's performances and off-field gossip in recent years, Donn officially announced his death to Adriano this morning.

The Brazilian is a can't help Adou, Tony. Don is not an omnipotent God either. Although he felt sorry for this former genius shooter in his heart, the reality was very cruel, and there was no need for him to spend tens of millions of dollars on charity to save a runaway young man who was not related to him.

Then the question arises again - "Hey, Don." You recommend me a few more, and the ones you recommended before are always something that doesn't satisfy me. You know I'm a perfectionist......"
