Juventus's sudden entry into the race for Anelka did not surprise Donne, who remembered that there was no news about Juventus' interest in Anelka, and Anelka's two agent brothers did not seem to have been in contact with Juventus.

Of course, if Juventus really wanted to pay so much money for Anelka, Don would be happy to accept it. On the one hand, it is higher than the price at which he bought Anelka, and on the other hand, this is Juventus, Anelka has no excuse not to go, right?

He did not hesitate to approve the transfer deal, leaving Juventus to negotiate the details of the personal contract with Anelka's agent on their own.

As for the other transfer request......

Donn wondered why Manchester City would come to the door, did they think they had a chance to take advantage of the three men on the right side now? Thaksin's entry into Manchester City is not surprising at all, because in this circle, you can hear all kinds of rumors every day, and it is not a matter of a day or two that Thai people are interested in the Premier League, and the Premier League has a huge impact in Southeast Asia, and it is not very shocking news that the rich and powerful former Thai president bought a Premier League club.

Nowadays, foreign invasion in the Premier League has become a common phenomenon.

Thaksin became the owner of Manchester City, and another Premier League club, Birmingham, recently changed hands. Its owner is a Chinese - Yang Ka-shing, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman.

At the same time, the giant Arsenal club is also divided into two factions, and they quarrel over whether to accept the injection of funds from wealthy American businessmen all the time, and even cause a personnel earthquake within the club - Vice President David. Dunn resigned angrily because of a disagreement with the chairman. You must know that Dunn has a very high reputation in the Arsenal team, and the current manager Arsene Wenger was brought back by Dunn from the original time, and Dunn is now the current chairman of the European G14 block, and his departure is a big blow to the Arsenal club.

The full-scale invasion of foreign capital has plunged many English clubs into a state of anxiety, excitement and confusion.

Earlier, in March of this year, Liverpool Football Limited issued a statement. The statement confirmed what had been speculated for a long time, two American tycoons, George. Gillette and Tom. Hicks has completed the acquisition of a stake in Liverpool. These two men have received 98.6% of Liverpool's shares and have become the well-deserved majority shareholders of Liverpool. The two American owners then re-registered Liverpool as a club, making Liverpool a private limited company.

This set is the same as Evan at the beginning. Doggerty's arrival at Nottingham Forest is exactly the same.

In today's English football, there are fewer and fewer clubs that still retain pure bloodlines, and most teams in the Super League have an affair with foreign investment.

Manchester United's big boss is the American Fraser, Chelsea's owner is the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, Liverpool is owned by the Americans Hicks and Gillette, and the Nottingham Forest owner is the American Englishman Evan. Dogetty, Manchester City is owned by Thai Thaksin, Birmingham is owned by Chinese Yang Ka-shing, West Ham United is owned by Icelandic Magnusson, Portsmouth is owned by French Jew Gaidamac, and Aston Villa is owned by American Lerner...... The first foreign owner of the Premier League was Fulham's current owner, Egyptian Fayyad, who became the big owner of Fulham FC as early as 1997, when Fulham were nothing more than an obscure second division team, and four years later in 2001 they were promoted to the Premier League and have remained there ever since.

Now Arsenal is divided over whether or not to accept foreign investment. If Arsenal ultimately decide to accept American investment, there will no longer be a true English club in the Premier League's top five. In fact, Arsenal is often not regarded as an English club because there are too many foreign players in it...... The gunman is often hated at home because of the strong taste of France.

In a country steeped in tradition and origin, this is a great irony......

The summer of 2007 was the most lively summer for foreign investors to take over the Premier League. Knowing this background, you will understand that this summer is bound to be uneven.

In order to curry favor with Manchester City's fans, Thaksin spent quite generously, buying people everywhere, vowing to be on par with Abramovich back then.

Brazil's Elano and Italy's Bianchi have both entered the door for Manchester City, and this time they have their eyes on Ashley, the right wing-back who has been in the limelight with Forest in the Premier League and Europe for the past two seasons. Poplar.

These two seasons, Ashley. Young has always firmly occupied the throne of the Premier League's "assist king", although this is related to the Forest's strategy of flying on both wings and focusing on attacking on the wings, but also with Ashley. Yang's own strength is inseparable.

Lennon is a very talented player, and there is no doubt about that, and he can't easily put Ashley. Yang completely squeezed into the bench, which shows Yang's ability. He is different from Ribery on the left, both of them are fast and good at breaking, but unlike Ribery, who likes to cut inside, Young prefers crosses, which is one of the reasons why he has more assists than Ribery.

In the first half of this year, a well-known sports tie company and a well-known data statistics company OPTA jointly released a statistical report, with a very imposing name - "Premier League Top Ten Low-altitude Flyers List". As the name suggests, they are the ten fastest people.

As soon as the list was announced, Nottingham Forest became the most eye-catching club. Because in the team column after the names of those Flyers, Nottingham Forest's name is the team that appears the most often – four times in total.

From fifth to eighth, it was all Forest players. The fifth of them is Ashley. Yang, his running without the ball is 11.02 seconds, but the chasing run is faster without the ball - 10.97 seconds.

The other four are Aaron, who is sixth. Lennon and George. Wood, as well as Frank. Ribery.

Because of being on the list, it also indirectly helps Ashley. Yang increased his value a little.

Thaksin's offer reached fifteen million pounds at the outset. How much did Nottingham Forest spend on buying the right-wing prodigy from Watford?

£700,000!

Three years on, that price has become fifteen million pounds.

Don should be satisfied, right?

No.

Don is too little.

How can the main player who won the European championship, the player who was selected in the team of the year in the Champions League last season, and the assist king of the Premier League for two consecutive years, be worth 15 million?

Nottingham Forest were quick to respond to Manchester City, with the official message saying: "Ashley. Young is not for sale, he has been a huge contributor to the right side of the team and was a key contributor to Forest's Champions League triumph. Tony. Coach Donn will not sell a meritorious player. ”

This may have been convincing a week ago, but now it only feels like there is something to say.

Mikel Arteta is gone, are there any decorated players in the Forest squad that can't be sold?

That's how Manchester City understands it – the Forest team is running out of money. Otherwise, why would they emphasize Ashley. What is Young's important surname for the Forest team? These things don't need them to say it again at all, the people of the earth know it.

Don wanted them to understand that way, too.

Arteta he wants to stay, Ashley. Yang: He didn't think about it.

Out of the face of Gareth. Bell and Aaron. Lennon's affection, Donn's affection for Ashley, who had taken the two of them to the Scoop in the first place. Yang didn't have much affection.

Although in the team, Ashley. Young is the first choice on the right midfield, but in Donn's words, "it's just work". Outside of work, Donn didn't communicate much with the young man he had personally recruited from Watford. He can make small talk with Bale's father, talk to Lennon about his life ideals or something, joke with Eastwood who warms up on horseback, and teach George, whom he values most, with a straight face. Wood would even chat with Van Nistelrooy about Alex Ferguson. He just didn't have with Ashley. Yang has any contact outside of work.

Actually, it wasn't like this before, it was after that incident, he and Ashley. Yang's relationship cooled rapidly. That incident, Don is still haunted by it.

Ashley. Yang took Bell and Lennon to Lady Spoon, and he was 100% convinced that Bell and Lennon did not really have sex with Hutchison girl, but when he asked Young, Yang answered no without hesitation.

It was from that moment that Don lost interest in the young man. He knew that Yang was lying, and he was so calm and calm that it made people believe that it was not the first time he had told such a lie.

Compared to the old man Alex Ferguson, Donn is not a coach who strictly interferes with the private lives of his players. He doesn't mind young people taking some detours in their private lives, and he doesn't mind young people spending money to find women to meet their physical needs...... As long as it doesn't affect the state on the field, whatever they do.

But he couldn't allow his players to deceive him and treat him like a three-year-old ignorant child. This is the last thing he can accept.

Why didn't you turn around right away? Because Don thinks that Lennon is still young and needs to continue to hone, it is a bit too hasty for him to play the main force directly. Lennon is the same as Bell, Don has a complete training plan for them, he doesn't want to help them, there are too many young geniuses in this world, and Don doesn't want his subordinates to have such a situation. Another reason is Ashley. Young's performance in the game is still very consistent, and he is still useful to the team. So Don kept this matter to the bottom of his heart, he only expressed his dissatisfaction with Tang at home, but he didn't mention it to anyone else at all, as if he had forgotten about it.

When Donn announced that Forest had signed David Beckham, and everyone was worried about Forest's overcrowded right side for next season, only Don knew that the man hadn't really bothered about it. Even if it weren't for Thaksin's boss who was generous this time, Don would have tried his best to get Ashley. What Yang has marketed is now in English football, and there are many people who are interested in the assist king on the right side.

However, since Thaksin's boss is determined to be this "money and stupid" Kaizi, Don doesn't mind making more profits.

For fifteen million pounds, you want to buy the right-sided main of the European champion Nottingham Forest, the new right-wing talent of the England national team, and the assist king of the Premier League for two consecutive years? What about the one you sent to ask for food, Thaksin "Prime Minister"?

Donn and Allen carefully analyzed the background of this player acquisition and thought there was something to be done.

They're not afraid to force a buyer away because of Ashley. Yang has no shortage of buyers at all, it's just a matter of high prices.

Returning to the background at the beginning of this chapter, although foreign ownership of Premier League clubs is now the general trend, the vast majority of English fans still have strong resistance to this kind of behavior. Not to mention the rich Russians or Americans, Thaksin, as a small country in Southeast Asia, has even stronger resistance.

Thaksin is well aware of this, so he can't wait to announce the signing of former England manager Eriksen in order to stabilize the people. At the same time, he promised in the media that he would spend at least £50 million to buy strong players and increase the strength of the team.

Transfers that have been lacking so far include Brazilian midfielder Elano and Italian striker Bianchi.

These two men, to be honest, have no influence in the minds of England fans, and if Thaksin intends to reassure the people with these two men, he will suffer a big loss. Thaksin is not stupid, he certainly knows it, so after securing these two deals, Manchester City began to chase the transfer market non-stop.

This time, after talks with Eriksen, he set the key target for the breakthrough at Forest and England's right midfielder, Ashley. Young. Eriksen used to be England manager, Ashley. Young has played at the World Cup in Germany and Eriksen knows Ashley. Yang's abilities.

Another reason is, Ashley. Young is a homegrown player, and his domestic fame and appeal in England are much higher than Elano and Bianchi. To increase his status in the hearts of the city's fans, it is not enough to rely on two foreign players, and it is not enough to repay Manchester City's debt of 60 million pounds, and the fans only want to see enough stars join.

As a result, Ashley, who has just won the Champions Cup and won the league assist king in England for two consecutive years. Yang has thus become an important chess piece of Thaksin's popularity.

With such an analysis, both Don and Alan were firm in their idea of eating Kaizi.

Fifteen million is not enough, take more!

※※※

Manchester City made a second offer, and the price mentioned 18 million pounds.

This time, Nottingham Forest seemed to hesitate for a moment, then still refused. The reason is still the same as before: "...... Ashley. Young is an important member of the team, Tony. Donn has no intention of selling the team's meritorious men......"

During this time, Don went to find Ashley. Yang came for an interview. Of course, he won't be the team trying to sell you, he's just asking if the current media is flooding with rumours about his transfer if it's true.

Because during the period, there were media reports that Eriksen had been with Ashley. Yang's agent has been in contact, and after the former prime minister of Thailand took over Manchester City, Manchester City also has the confidence to offer the players they fancy to the other party's favorite treatment.

So Don went to Ashley with a straight face. Yang's has the meaning of rejuvenating the teacher and asking for sin.

Of course, Yang denied that his agent had contact with Manchester City privately, and said that he liked to play at Nottingham Forest, and he had just won an honor, so how could he leave? No matter how high the other party's salary is, it will not shake his determination to be loyal......

Having said this, both parties said goodbye "satisfied".

The next day, Ashley. Young's agent approached Forest FC to give his players a pay rise. The agent's reason is very simple: you see that my player has been so hot recently, and there are countless clubs that have pursued him, since you have all said that he is a meritorious hero of the team, is it a little unreasonable not to give him a higher salary? And the loyalty of my players to the team is absolutely nothing to say! You see that in so many clubs, even Manchester City, he is unmoved, so should the team give Ashley. What about Yang's higher salary package to reward his loyalty?

The person who received the agent was none other than Donne, who smiled and affirmed Ashley. Young's contribution to the team, and thank him for his loyalty to the team despite such "rumors". When talking about this, everyone was smiling, and the atmosphere of the meeting was very friendly and harmonious.

But when it came to the topic of money, although Don's smile was boundless, what he said was not what the agent wanted to hear.

“…… Is it paid...... As you know, the club has been planning to build a new stadium recently, and the funds are not too generous......

To put it mildly, after his agent repeatedly demanded that his players should be paid a salary commensurate with his contributions, Donn bluntly told him that the club would not be talking to him about Ashley right now. The issue of Yang's treatment.

"Young has three years left on his contract with the club, so we can wait until we have the last year left."

This is like an eviction order, and the agent heard Don say this, so he got up and took his leave.

Although everyone was still smiling, both sides knew in their hearts that this was a tearing of their faces.

A day after the agent left, Manchester City made a third offer, and this time they looked bound to win, because in this offer, Manchester City told Forest that if they didn't agree, it was the last offer and City would not deal with Ashley. Yang then raised the offer.

Since Stuart. After Pierce stepped down from the Manchester City manager's position, the good relationship between the two clubs came to an end, otherwise Manchester City would never have used such a blunt tone to negotiate business with Forest. When Pierce was there, it only took a phone call from both managers to solve the problem.

This time, Thaksin seems to have made a ruthless decision - twenty-five million pounds!

Don took the fax to Allen, looked at each other, and laughed.

In the afternoon, Manchester City received a response from Forest: agreeing to the offer, Manchester City could play Ashley. Yang worked on the negotiation of individual contracts.

※※※

Actually, Ashley. Young really didn't want to leave the Forest team at first, and he was telling Donn the truth. But he wants to capitalise on the recent media hype to earn him a higher salary in the team, and City's second boy fits the bill very well for a supporting role.

But Ashley. Young and his agent didn't expect to be in high esteem on the football pitch with their head coach Tony. Donn had been planning to sell him a season ago......

Don pushed the boat down the river and let Ashley. Yang left on his own.

Ashley. Young is not a foolish person, and since he can't get a higher salary package in the Forest team, there is nothing wrong with changing clubs that can offer higher salaries when he wins a championship trophy and his value rises sharply. Professional players, training hard, trying to show themselves on the field, winning championships, and tossing an injury for what? Is it really to take the gold medal home and put it in the cabinet to see? Is it really for those glories? If it's not for money, who would choose to play football as a lifelong career?

Don understood this, so he didn't thwart Ashley at all. Yang goes after the happiness he wants......

Forest's second heavyweight transfer of the season has been finalised, along with the most eye-catching transfer so far.

If Arteta's departure is just a substitute who can't play, he wants to pursue a team that can put him in the main position. Then Ashley. Yang's departure made many people feel a little incomprehensible. From the pitch, Ashley. Young's important surname for the Forest team is self-evident, and the Forest team was able to win the Champions Cup, Ashley. Yang's play is also important.

Is it really like some media have said that this is to make room for Beckham? Because Beckham's sponsors put a lot of pressure on Forest? If that's the case, then wouldn't it indirectly create a lot of enemies for Beckham in the Forest dressing room? Donn has always said that he doesn't pick his main players based on fame, but only on ability and form, if it is really to sell Ashley for Beckham's main position. Yang, then...... The media have expressed their disapproval of David. David Beckham's prospects in the Forest dressing room.

They all seem to have good reasons: David Beckham is a long-established star, but he is an outsider at Forest, so how can he get along with the people in the Forest dressing room? And it's hard to guarantee that no one is jealous of what Beckham has gotten and is therefore prejudiced...... There are not a few such people in football, will there be such people in the Forest dressing room? Ashley. Will Young's departure make the rest of the Forest team feel sad and everyone is in danger? And then there is some "hatred and hatred"?

So...... With the arrival of the world-class superstar, there has always been a good atmosphere and there has never been any negative news in the Forest dressing room, so will this make any waves?

For all gossip readers, stay tuned! In the name of the paparazzi, our English tabloids solemnly promise to dig deep into the inside story and explore the truth, so that the mysterious virgin land of Nottingham Forest's dressing room will never be restless!
