As Lee Tong Beom had speculated, Arsene Wenger was adamant in refusing to sell restless player Lars Diarra to Newcastle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the sagacity and foresight of the professor, it was natural to know how dangerous it was to give the "new Makelele" to the madman Lee. Newcastle's indomitable ten consecutive wins in the final stage last season were enough to make the big4 members tremble, if the madman Lee is allowed to build an ideal team according to his own wishes, then it is estimated that the members of big4 will become the soy sauce role of accompanying the prince to study!

So, while Arsene Wenger can't stop other teams from selling players to Crazy Lee, now that Russ Diarra is at Arsenal, it's up to him to decide. So the Frenchman did not hesitate to reject Newcastle's £6 million offer in one fell swoop, only to agree to another Premier League side, Portsmouth's £4.5 million offer...... Things have come to this point, and the tug-of-war over the transfer of the "new Makelele" has come to an end that has not lasted more than a week. While Lars Diarra himself would prefer to join Crazy Lee's Newcastle, this time he can't blackmail Arsene Wenger like the Blues did five months ago, because unlike seven months left on his Chelsea contract at the time, he now has three years left on his Arsenal Arsenal contract...... However, after this incident, the relationship between Russ and Wenger is completely broken!

Since Las Diarra was hopeless, Lee Tong-fan had no choice but to turn his gaze to Fernando Gago fiercely!

…… July 26.

Madrid, Spain.

At noon, the sun is hot!

Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!

Instead of spending his summer vacation at the beach hotel to enjoy the good life of his teammates, Gago stayed alone at the training base in Madrid's sports city...... Under the sun, the teenager with dreams is sweating...... Two years ago, when he left the Pampas grassland with his compatriot Higuain to bring the Bernabeu and join Real Madrid, despite the reputation of Redondo II and the expectations of South American football, he thought that he would really play a world at the Bernabeu like his idol Redondo, but who knew that in addition to getting a lot of appearances under the account of the crazy Lee in the first season, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse...... Capello felt he wasn't tough enough defensively and at one point pressed him firmly to the bench, and the Italian boss finally left the Bernabeu, but the new German boss Schuster seemed to have the same idea, and only three or four of the 27 players in Real Madrid's first team did not receive a call from the new coach Scholder, and Gago was one of them...... What a clear signal!

At this moment, although he has been staying at the training base of Madrid Sports City to practice hard, Gago is at a loss at this time...... After a few exercises around obstacles with the ball and without the ball, Gago came to the sidelines to drink water when he suddenly ...... The mobile phone in the dingdingdallel bag rang, and when I took out the phone, I saw a familiar and unfamiliar name appear in front of me............ July 27th.

Newcastle's official website once again posted a recruitment news that made all Magpies fans ecstatic:

“…… Real Madrid Argentine defender Fernando Gago will join Newcastle for 8.5 million euros on a four-year contract with a salary of 70,000 pounds a week......"

The news finally caused a stir in the British media.

Because, Gago is different from the players who have not proven themselves in the five major leagues before, and is also different from Ronaldo Marcelo and other "old, weak, sick and disabled", although the performance of the Argentine midfielder in Real Madrid has not reached the height expected by the world, but its own strength is still first-class...... In fact, even the "mastermind" Li Tongfan, who robbed Juventus, did not expect that Gago's transfer would go so smoothly. Before this, Lao Li was worried that Gago was unwilling to leave the star-studded luxury and luxury Bernabeu, who knew that he hadn't finished a few words after a phone call, but Gago himself proposed the idea of joining Newcastle instead...... Unexpected surprise!

The rest of the conversation with Florentino went much smoother.

The relationship between the sullen man and the Fur Hero is in the "honeymoon period", and soon signed a transfer contract with a down payment of 850 euros and 2 million euros and 6.5 million in 24 months...... From Lao Li's specific work to the official transfer was reached, this Serie A giant Juventus has not been completed for more than a month, and the seemingly difficult transfer was actually won by the crazy Li in just 24 hours...... This time, anyone who knows the inside story of the transfer can't help but sigh once again at the huge energy and player appeal of the crazy Lee, while the fans of other Premier League clubs can only secretly complain in their hearts that they don't have a star-level manager!

…… After bringing in Gago with lightning speed, Lee has bought no less than 10 new players this season, but Newcastle's recruitment work is not over.

…… July 28th.

St James' Park.

Head Coach's Office.

“…… The sale of players at the end of last season brought in a total of £64 million in transfer income for the Magpies, while only £38 million was spent on bringing in Ronaldo, Podolski and others. Even if you deduct the fees of Gago and others introduced in July, the remaining transfer funds plus the 20 million pounds of the old Sir John Hall, Lao Li still has at least 28 million pounds of transfer funds left in his hands......"

On the couch, transfer director Tolosi Tang is settling accounts with Lao Li.

“…… Well, so are we rich now? So much left? Li Tongfan's eyes widened, and his flushed face was full of incredulity: "Tang, have you miscalculated, we really still have so much money?" ”

"There's definitely nothing wrong with that!"

Tolosi Don, the head of transfer for the Magpies, pointed to the gray-haired old man sitting next to him, and said with an affirmative expression: "I think it's better to let Mr. David Stefana, the treasurer, explain it to you......"

So, the old-fashioned old man Stefana took out a thick pile of materials, took out reading glasses from the front pocket of his suit, put them on slowly, then cleared his throat and began to report in a straight voice:

"Ahem...... Lee, the money we have received from the transfer market through the sale of players during this period is ...... Premier League tickets and broadcasts split ...... On top of that, because of your performance at the Euros with the likes of Michael, the team's jersey and memorabilia sales are very positive, totaling ...... so far The package for the 08-09 season sold out...... Uh, by the way, if it is possible, hold on tightly and suggest that the club consider expanding the course! …… And you've already spent £58 million on signings...... After the two deductions, plus Sir John Hall's investment, the club has £5,000 left on its books......

£50 million?

Thinking about the demons recommended by the FM2009 system, Lao Li subconsciously asked: "So, we still have money to buy people?" ”

"In theory, that's true, but I think it's best for the club to have more than £30 million in liquid money on their accounts, you know, the player's salary is also a big burden for the club......," Treasurer Stevana advised, grimace.

Lee Tong-fan nodded and said that he understood that Newcastle's salary structure had indeed risen a big step after the introduction of Ronaldo, Gago and Podolski, and the contract extensions of veteran players such as Michael Owen, Taylor and Alan Smith had also come to the table...... In this way, he still has less than £20 million of transfer funds to spend. However, even so, it has greatly exceeded Li Tongfan's expectations, and Lao Li originally thought that he would have spent a long time ago!

Thinking about Newcastle's current squad, since there is still a lot of transfer fees, then the previous plan has to be changed...... Li Tongfan has a plan in his heart!

…… July 31.

The Times: "Crazy Lee continues to burn money, 10 million euros to bring in Andrei Arshavin, a 27-year-old core player of the Zenit St. Petersburg team, this is the second player that Crazy Lee has bought from Eastern Europe after R kov, and the value of 10 million is already a sky-high price for a player who has not proven himself in the top five leagues......"

August 3rd.

The Sun: "...... Another young player we have never heard of was brought to Newcastle by Crazy Lee, with 20-year-old Stuttgart defender Sammy Khedira joining the Magpies for €5.5 million. According to our reporter Dekra, the 20-year-old Khedira was only promoted from Stuttgart's youth team last season to lead the first team, and scored one goal in 24 appearances for Stuttgart in the 07-08 Bundesliga season...... That's not a good stat in the Bundesliga......"

…… This summer, the number and speed of Li Tongfan's recruitment have embarrassed the managers of other teams in the Premier League!

However, just when the media and fans throughout the British Isles were still speculating about who the next "Boy Scout" member would be at St James' Park, the official website of Newcastle Football Club finally published the statement of the madman Lee himself - "...... The club has brought in enough players to cope with the long 08-09 season on all fronts, and from today, Newcastle's recruitment is officially over! In the 08-09 season, Newcastle will shock everyone...... You know, we're not just aiming for the UEFA Cup......"

Challenge!

** Naked Challenge!

Crazy Lee's words are clearly a challenge to the traditional top four.

In the Premier League, in addition to Newcastle worth looking forward to, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has spent a lot of money this season to bring in a large number of powerful players such as Knight Phillips from the Blues Chelsea and Vicente Kompany from Real Madrid for the "Blue Moon" Manchester City team...... The heroes have risen together, and the chaos has appeared!

Judging from the transfer investment alone, the upcoming 08-09 season will be the most promising season to break the situation of the Blues Chelsea, the Red Devils Manchester United, the Reds Liverpool and Arsenal Arsenal!

…… After closing the transfer window for Newcastle and the end of the player's vacation, Lee Tong-beom will soon be engaged in the warm-up matches and team run-ins before the start of the season!

However, before that, Lao Li must return to China.

This summer, Li Tongfan was too busy to go back to visit his parents, and according to the business activity plan arranged by Tolosi Tang, there were some domestic endorsement activities waiting for Lao Li to fulfill...... In addition, Lao Li also wants to meet someone!

A man whom she had been missing for a whole year, six months, twenty-three days, and eighteen hours!

Lao Li wanted to know what had happened during this time!
