An hour later, Li Tongfan met the target of his trip to Russia in a private club in Moscow - Yuri Zerkov!

The 25-year-old Russian wide player can adapt to any position on the left flank and is known as the 'Little Ronaldo of Eastern Europe', making him an indispensable core player for both the Russian national team and Russian Premier League giants CSKA Moscow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The first time Lee remembers the Russian international was in last year's European Championship qualifier with LinkedIn Gran in Moscow against Dutchman Guus Hiddink.

In that game, Erkov almost completely dominated the left corridor of Russia, and the breakthroughs, crosses, and free kicks were all of a first-class level, which left a deep impression on Lao Li...... Therefore, after FM was upgraded to 2009 some time ago, the query was deliberately carried out with a scouting tool...... Who knows if you don't check it, you won't know it, and you'll be shocked when you check it!

The 25-year-old Russian left-sided king is known as the "Eastern European Ronaldo" for nothing, with [current ability] 178 and [potential ability] 188, and his performance in the three positions of left wingback, left winger, and left wingback is all [comfortable]...... A gorgeous set of caste numbers is no less than Ashley Cole, the ace of Chelsea for the Blues!

After reading it at that time, Lao Li shouted luck!

If he hadn't led the Three Lions to beat the Russian national team in the European Championship qualifiers last year, once Hiddink was allowed to take Russia into the main round of the European Championship, I am afraid that Yuri Zirkov's performance in the tournament would have become the sweetheart of the giants, and it would not have been Newcastle's turn at all...... The cigarettes in the clubhouse are curling, and the smell is pandan!

And Erkov's own attitude also reassured Lao Li - "...... Being able to go to St James' Park and play under your guidance is something I never dream of waking up laughing at. Thank you very much for your appreciation, Your Excellency Madman Lee! However, Newcastle have to provide enough transfer fees to CSKA and I hope that the club that nurtured me will be compensated as it deserves......"

Erkov's words suddenly made Lao Li look at him a few more times.

Before coming to Moscow to contact [Eastern European Xiao Luo], Li Tongfan carefully read the life information of Erkov, this talented player who is now famous in Eastern Europe, was born in a poor family when he was a child, and his father was only a messenger worker in a small factory... It seems that Erkov himself has inherited a bit of the sentiment of the working class, and such a player with "both virtue and art" is exactly the type that Lao Li loves!

Since the two sides hit it off, at the moment Li Tongfan and [super scout] Frank Andriy flew directly to Paris, France, non-stop, while Tolosi Tang stayed directly in Moscow, and CSKA began to negotiate the transfer of Erkov, Lao Li gave a transfer value of 5 million pounds, and it is best to pay in installments...... In fact, Lao Li also searched for a Russian demon from FM2009 - Arthavin, the ace of Zenit St. Petersburg nicknamed "Iron Tsar".

However, the "soul of Russia" has long been famous for his outstanding performance in last year's UEFA Cup and being named the best player in the UEFA Cup. Therefore, the reference value given by FM2009 is 10 million pounds, which is definitely beyond the range that Lao Li can afford. Besides, Newcastle has no shortage of players in the front line and on the wing, so they have to give up!

…… A day later.

Paris, France.

“…… Mr Sebastian, I think the £5 million offer is definitely a sign of Newcastle's sincerity, we appreciate Mamadou Sako and we respect Paris Saint-Germain, but Sako is a player who hasn't really proven himself in the top flight after all, and I'm just optimistic about his potential...... Well, if you're not happy with the transfer price, then I'm sorry, I'll have to find someone else! ”

Li Tongfan sat in the office of the club president at the Parc des Princes stadium, took a sip of the hot coffee brought by the female secretary, and gave his final bottom line.

Behind the desk, Sebastien Bazin, the owner of Paris Saint-Germain, slowly tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about Li Tongfan's suggestion: Indeed, from the initial price of 300 to the current increase to 5 million, Newcastle's sincerity is indeed enough. And, at the age of 17, Sako has some potential, but who knows how far he will eventually go...... Thinking of this, as if he had finally made up his mind, the old and slick Bhasin raised his head and suggested with a smile: "Mr. Rice Bucket, I have a good plan: Newcastle have acquired Mexican striker Carlos Vela from Real Madrid, and if you can agree to let Vela go on loan to our club for a free season, I will be more than happy to accept your offer for Sako!" ”

Carlos Vela?

How did you get back to Bella?

Li Tongfan thought for a while, recalled the current situation in the Paris Saint-German team, and suddenly understood what the other party meant.

Saint-Germain's main striker and captain Pauletta is 35 years old and is considering retiring in the near future, while another striker, Radu, has just returned from injury and is in shaky form...... Find a free striker to make up for the club's striker crisis!

However, Sebastian Bazin's proposal made the really old Li's heart move.

The reason why he hurriedly acquired Vela at the end of last season is actually to avoid this piece of [potential ability] more than 190 "gold" shining too quickly in La Liga, resulting in an increase in value, which can be regarded as an investment in the future.

It's just a free loan, and even if Bella's salary during the loan period is all paid by Newcastle, how much money can he have? Instead, Paris Saint-Germain could be allowed to release central defender Mamadou Sakho with a potential of 198 in the FM2009 system for £5 million.

…… 7 hours.

Toulouse, France.

Li Tongfan stood up with a smile and shook Oliveira Sadland's hand: "Mr. President, I am very happy that we were able to agree on the transfer of Moussa Sissoko, I think Toulouse and Newcastle will have more opportunities to work together......"

Beside the two, Toulouse FC manager Alain Casanova almost popped his eyes out. Lee, the damned liar maniac, defrauded Moussa Sissoko, the jewel of Toulouse, out of a mere £2 million in rhetoric...... And the "liar" Li Tongfan didn't notice at all that there was an uncle-level "resentful man" around him who was eager to cut him with a thousand knives. Just £2 million to get the [potential] 190 defensive midfielder Sissoko in the FM2009 system, so that Lao Li can't wait to roar in front of Toulouse chairman Sadland...... Although Moussa Sissoko is only 17 years old now, he has been training for two years in the youth team, and he is definitely another peerless beast waist at the level of [Ghana Buffalo] Esin, haha...... Small clubs are easy to deceive, if Sissoko is a giant like Lyon, it is estimated that there is no 10 million that cannot be taken!

…… After the introduction of Pastore, Zerkov, Sarko, and Moussa Sissoko was done in one go, Li Tongfan's frenzied "circle movement" finally came to an end for the time being. Lee and assistant Frank Andrie return to Newcastle City.

It was July 16.

There is constantly alarming news coming out of the transfer market in European football.

"Ronaldinho finally bids farewell to Camp Nou, San Siro ushers in the former World Footballer of the Year" - AC Milan owner Berlusconi favors Ronaldinho is already a well-known secret, although the once hundreds of millions of offers did not bring it to San Siro, but this summer the Italian prime minister finally got his wish, and the Rossoneri got the former Barcelona king for only 1850 pounds...... In fact, in addition to Ronaldinho, AC Milan also did two unexpected things in the transfer market, the first is to loan back the traitorous Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shepchenko from Chelsea, and secondly, San Siro took advantage of the danger to poach Arsenal's core defender Flamini, making Professor Wenger depressed...... At the same time, AC Milan's old enemy Inter Milan also began to buy heavily under the move of the madman Uncle Mourinho, stirring up European football into a muddy water. Perhaps in retaliation for Newcastle's poaching of Crespo and others from Chelsea, Inter Milan's new manager Uncle Mu has set his sights on Newcastle - "Inter Milan 1000 euros offer Magpie winger Duff"

Inter Milan's €25 million offer for lightning killer Michael Owen

"Mourinho is very fond of tough Magpies striker Alan Smith"

"Mourinho thinks Magpies defender Taylor could be Samuel's best partner"

The overwhelming transfer reports in the English media have sent Newcastle City into a panic, and Magpies fans have landed on Newcastle's official website to leave messages hoping that the club's hierarchy will keep these key players in the squad to prepare for the upcoming 08-09 season............ Newcastle manager's office.

“…… Haha, what a retribution! We were digging other people's corners outside, but I didn't expect that now the madman uncle actually started digging my corner! Oh, think about it, what a tempting banknote waving in front of you......" Li Tongfan sat on the chair and crossed Erlang's legs, looking at the quotation fax sent by the Inter Milan club in front of him, with a beaming face: "Hehe, Alain, Tang, do you say I sell or not?" ”

To sell or not to sell?

I have to say that at this moment, Lao Li Yindang's expression is like a prodigal girl who has betrayed the power of the first night!

However, assistant coach Alan Shearer saw Li Tongfan's expression scratching his bag, and thought that Lao Li really had the idea of selling the main players, so he hurriedly admonished: "Li, this season we have to face the situation of three-line battles, even if we abandon the domestic cup competition, the remaining league cups and leagues must be paid attention to...... So, I want the team to be able to keep the original main frame to a certain extent, knowing that we have sold a lot of key players......"

Alan Shearer was referring to the fact that Lee was bent on selling the likes of Joey Barton and James Milner at the end of last season. Li Tongfan looked at Shearer's sad face, laughed, and turned his head to ask Tolosi-Tang, "What do you think?" Your Excellency My Head of Transfers? ”

"If you have a suitable replacement, you can consider Inter's offer......

Li Tongfan looked at Shearer thoughtfully, and then at Tang ...... Suddenly, my heart moved, and I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a high-potential demon recommended to me by the FM2009 system in the Inter Milan team, so why not make a fuss about this?

Thinking of this, Li Tongfan changed his previous joking expression, picked up the three faxes in front of him and looked at them carefully and carefully...... Well, 15 million offer Duff, 20 million offer Michael Irving, 18 million offer Steven Taylor...... It seems that Jose Mourinho is clearly looking to replicate his 4-3-3 formation at Chelsea when he takes charge of Inter Milan, and the Nerazzurri's transfer focus revolves around this formation, so it's not for nothing that the handsome Portuguese maniac's uncle is eyeing Duff, Owen and Steven Taylor.

Duff was once an important player in Jose Mourinho's time at Stamford Bridge, and then Abram sold to Newcastle because he lacked star quality and was not big enough to sell to Newcastle, and the Irish Clippers were impressive in the Premier League last season...... Of the other two, Michael Irving, who has regained his prime, is also the best candidate for a second striker in the eyes of the Muhammads...... As for Steven Taylor, after Euro 2008, there is not a single big club in Europe that doesn't want to take the talented centre-back into the bag...... At this moment, thousands of thoughts turned in Lao Li's heart.

Owen and Steven Taylor certainly can't be sold, the former is the current leader of Newcastle and has unrivalled prestige in the British Isles, while the latter is his own future Newcastle leader, and these two are essential cornerstones of the team if they want to usher in the era of the Great Magpie...... In this way, there is only one way to make a fuss about Duff!

Carefully calculated, next season's team has Marcelo, Juan Mata, Podolski and other young and talented players with unlimited potential, the twenty-eight-year-old Duff wants to sit in the main position as last season is obviously impossible, originally Lao Li also planned to let Duff play the "leading and exemplary role" of the old players to help him adjust the new players, but now Inter Milan's offer is coming...... "Don, you immediately reply to Inter Milan's offer, Michael and Taylor are not for sale in the team, refuse all offers, As for Duff...... You reply to Uncle Mu like this: 10 million euros plus their academy youngster David Thornton, you can continue to negotiate, and you must sign this little guy named Thornton......"

After listening to the final answer given by Li Tongfan, Tolosi Tang immediately pushed the door and started to work.

And Alan Shearer, the team's other giant, finally let out a long breath...... Thankfully, both Owen and Taylor were left behind...... looked up at Li Tongfan and found that this master was smiling at himself, Shearer was stunned, and suddenly understood: If he is worried, he will be in chaos! Who is the madman Lee, and how could he do those short-sighted behaviors of selling off the main players? But then again, who is that little guy named Thornton, who is sacred, and Li Tongfan actually wants to sign it at any cost?

…… The deal with Inter Milan went well.

Although Mourinho is very optimistic about the 16-year-old David Thornton, who has just been recommended to the first team by youth coach Giuseppe Baresi, the madman still chooses "now" after weighing the two aspects, after all, the Irish fast motor has helped him to gain a successful foothold in Meazza at this stage!

On July 21, the clubs of Inter Milan and Newcastle released transfer information on their respective official websites at the same time - Newcastle's Irish winger Duff transferred to the Nerazzurri, and Inter Milan paid the price of 10 million euros in cash plus 16-year-old young academy player David Thornton!

Although it is also a transfer of tens of millions, it has not attracted much attention in European football. In this hot summer, only the transfer farce of Cristiano Ronaldo and the heavyweight transfers of superstars such as Gilardino are the focus of media attention...... As a result, there are only a handful of media outlets in the UK that have made a few minor remarks, and much of the focus has been on the formation of a new Nerazzurri by the madman Jose Mourinho, and the addition of Duff is seen as one of the measures to strengthen Meazza's attacking power...... As for David Thornton? Except for a handful of the most die-hard Inter fans, who knows which onion he is?

…… And for Lee Tong-fan, being able to sign Thornton was definitely a surprise.

Although the 16-year-old right wing-back is young, his current ability in the FM2009 system is as high as 154, and his potential ability is an incredible 190.

If nothing else, Lao Li is sure that before the end of the next 08-09 season, this genius named David Thornton can make a splash at Newcastle and make Mu Maniac regret it...... Since then, good news has come from Newcastle's transfer department, and Newcastle fans have been happy to see the more recruitment news on the club's official website every day, and they can't close their mouths - July 22.

"Newcastle bring in Hurricanes rookie Javier Pastore for €5.5 million......"

July 23rd.

"Newcastle bring in 5 million pounds to bring in CSKA Moscow and the Russian national team's dual core player Yuri Zerkov......" July 26.

"Maniac Lee, Ligue 1 Taobao, £5 million to bring in Paris Saint-Saint-German rookie Mamadou Sako, 2 million euros to bring in Toulouse midfielder Moussa Sissoko......"

…… Newcastle have swallowed five players in one go in such a short period of time and have finally caught the attention of the European media. However, after careful analysis by the brick family beasts, they finally couldn't wait to jump out one by one and ridicule Li Tongfan's transfer strategy - "...... James Milner, Joey Barton, Duff, etc., etc., madman Lee sold at least 8 absolute main players who hit the League Cup last season at the end of last season and this transfer period in one go, but only bought a group of old men and little boys, does he really want to be the second Asena Wenger? If Chinese wants to rely on this group of players over the age of 30 and under the age of 18 to achieve a resurgence for Newcastle, he will create the biggest joke of the season in Europe's top five leagues......

Of course, it was not a wave of criticism.

Germany's "Kicker" said fairly: "Perhaps, [God on the sidelines of the football field] can really rely on a group of child soldiers to create miracles?" After all, there have been too many miracles in the case of Crazy Lee, and among the most anticipated teams of the 08-09 season, there is reason to join the new Newcastle side ......"

It's a pity that for a stuffy man like Li Tongfan, who has already cultivated his cheeks and is thicker than the corner of the Jiayuguan city wall, the cynicism of the media not only cannot shake his determination to "make Newcastle too young and younger", but it has accelerated Lao Li's recruitment work even more!

After the end of the previous stage of reinforcement work, Lao Li once again reviewed the current Newcastle through the FM2009 system, and found that the team's backfield strength still needs to be strengthened, and the substitute lineup is weak and pitiful, and once an injury occurs, it will seriously affect the team's record!

In terms of midfield, except for Makelele, who is already a little old, there is no main player who can play well, which is simply intolerable for Lao Li, who favors the 4-1-2-1-2 formation.

So, through a series of searches and comparisons with FM football reports, Lao Li finally set his sights on two people - the first target is 23-year-old French defender Las Diarra.

The former Chelsea player forced his departure from Stamford Bridge amid his displeasure with Jose Mourinho placing him at right wing-back and joined Blues rivals and fellow BIG Arsenal for a bargain of £2 million in last season's winter transfer window. But it is a pity that Russ has not been able to play enough in Arsenal for half a season, although Professor Arsene Wenger is optimistic about his future and potential, but in front of him are absolute main players such as Cesc Fabregas...... Therefore, the player with the surname who has just joined Arsenal for less than 5 months has already released rumors through his agent and insists on leaving Arsenal...... At the moment, Premier League side Portsmouth are pursuing the "new Makelele" with great fanfare!

The FM2009 system gave a high evaluation of Las Diarra with [Current Ability] 170 and [Potential Ability] 180, believing that he can become a super midfielder who is on par with Makelle at his peak!

So, Lao Li's interest in Las Diarra is very high!

The only obstacle now is whether Arsene Wenger would be willing to sell the promising player to Newcastle? After all, Lao Li once deprived Arsenal of the European championship trophy at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece!

In addition to Las Diarra, the second midfielder candidate that Li Tongfan is interested in is his old subordinate from the Real Madrid era - [Redondo II] Fernando Gago!

With David Beckham and Mohamed Diarra present, Gago's time at the Bernabeu has not been easy since last season. Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello is clearly not interested in the Argentine talent. And after Firing Fabio Capello and hiring German Schuster this season, Gago's status at the Bernabeu doesn't seem to have changed...... Contrary to the introduction of Las Diarra, the question for Gago is whether he is willing to "succumb" to Newcastle from the Bernabeu!

Lao Li planned in his heart and immediately took action!

2-in-1 chapter.

Say two things: First, that brother has FM2009 in his hand, please be sure to add QQ to pass one to the knife, use it urgently.

Second, half of the palm of the left hand has been numb for three or four days, what's going on?
