287 Rumors
When it came to choosing Campbell's next club, Rist didn't think about Liverpool at all. Liverpool, despite doing well under Houllier, have not been able to break the dominance of Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League. The top performers in the Premier League in recent seasons have been Manchester United and Arsenal, with Manchester United and Arsenal having the highest chances of winning the title. Campbell wants a club that can help him with a title chance, and only Manchester United and Arsenal are the best fit.
In this situation, there is only one club that can afford to take Campbell from Arsenal, and that is Premier League giants Manchester United. That's why Rist met Ferguson. At this time, Riester can clearly realize that information is a resource. If Rist didn't know the contents of Stam's autobiography because of his own memory, how could Rist communicate with Ferguson.
Ferguson has not yet said anything, but Rist has already taken measures. The first thing Lister did was send a message to the London Post in London. Although Lister is not well-connected in English football, he is not as good as Michael. Native snakes like Williams. But there are also some friends in the English media. Rist deliberately sent the message to the London Post.
Soon the London Post published a breaking piece of news. "Tottenham captain turns Arsenal!"
Campbell did not renew his contract, and many giants have been linked with Campbell after a free transfer. Even Arsenal has had rumors, but at this time, the most contacts with Campbell are Inter Milan, Barcelona, and in the Premier League, Liverpool. Even if there are some scandals with Arsenal, everyone just doesn't take things seriously.
After all, Arsenal and Tottenham are bitter enemies for a century. In the whole of European football, the north London derby is famous. The hatred between the two families can be said to have lasted for a hundred years. Therefore, there is no great belief that Campbell will risk the world's disapproval to move to Arsenal. So the news of the move to Arsenal is usually just a joke.
But now the London Post is swearing that Campbell has signed a contract with Arsenal. Even the contents of the contract came out, a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, David. Dunn and Jerome. Anderson personally met with Campbell's agent, Andrey. Whether it's true or not, this thing has blown up. Campbell's refusal to agree to a contract extension has already left many Tottenham fans unhappy. The fans' minds are very simple.
Just as they all thought that Campbell was developed by Tottenham, and now Campbell has become a Shijie-level central defender. You don't want to repay Tottenham, now you want to go on a free transfer. You can leave Tottenham with a small transfer fee, but you want to move freely for your own financial gain. How could a Tottenham fan not be angry.
Of course, if you stand in Campbell's position, you will feel that Tottenham is too low-grade. With Campbell's strength and fame today, Tottenham don't deserve him at all. He wants to win the championship and get more financial benefits, after all, the player's career is very short. His choice to leave is understandable.
However, the positions of the two sides are different. Shijie never revolves around a certain person or a certain group. Ask the fans to understand Campbell, or ask Campbell to give up his own interests to repay Tottenham. It's all wishful thinking. Therefore, Tottenham fans have been very dissatisfied with Campbell before.
Now the Daily Mail has broken such a big news. Tottenham fans can be said to be unable to take it anymore. During the game, Tottenham fans have publicly accused Campbell, and even at the beginning of the game, Tottenham fans pulled a large banner: "If you transfer to Arsenal, you will kill Saul".
Of course, such banners were quickly put away by the security guards on the scene. But it also showed the anger of Tottenham fans, and even soon Campbell had already received death threats from radical Tottenham fans.
After the Daily Mail broke the big news. Soon, the Daily Mirror and The Sun were all follow-up interviews. Because once Campbell transferred to Arsenal. Then the sensation in English football is no less than the sensation of Figo's defection to Real Madrid last summer. So much so that many Tottenham fans have come to demonstrate at Campbell's home.
In recent times, Campbell has only been able to enter and exit the club under the protection of a security company. Otherwise, no one can guarantee what those angry fans will do.
…………
"Shit. This is the news spread by which bastard. If I had known, I would have killed him. ”
At Campbell's house, Andre was furious. The news not only had a serious impact on Campbell's life, but also on the course of the ongoing negotiations. If Andre hadn't owned Campbell. It doesn't carry much weight among agents in English football. But with Campbell, he has successfully established himself as one of England's top agents.
It is precisely because of his policy of procrastination that Campbell currently has such initiative. He was already ready to offer Campbell one of the most promising contracts in European football, and after analysing several clubs in England, Zuihou chose Arsenal. He has been with David. Dunn, and Jerome. Anderson talked about it several times. The talks between the two sides are still very good. There has been substantial development.
But that was Arsenal and now Campbell is still at Tottenham. If the news of a move to Arsenal breaks out, Campbell will definitely be dead, how will he face the club, his teammates, and the fans. So Andre has been negotiating with other clubs, with Barcelona today, with Inter tomorrow, with Liverpool the day after tomorrow. So the daily newspaper news is which club Campbell is closer to, that is, no one thinks it is Arsenal. Andrew has always been very proud, very proud of his means.
Now that such news has broken out, it is very bad for Campbell. Either it clarifies quickly, or it can only be tacit. If Campbell defaults, the remaining months at Tottenham will be very sad. And clarify, how to clarify. Andrew himself knows his own affairs, but he has really had a lot of negotiations with Arsenal, how can this kind of thing be clarified.
"What now?"
Campbell was also very helpless. Now he sometimes feels like he's not even safe, and every day he sees the fans who look at him with angry eyes. Even tough guys like Campbell feel a little scared.
"Thor, don't hold back. Didn't we already think of this situation before? ”
Andrew thought about it and decided to make a sideways. Anyway, they all thought that Campbell would become the biggest traitor in Tottenham's history as long as he moved to Arsenal. At that time, I had been mentally prepared for a long time, and now it is just an early outbreak.
"Not flinching? Andre, it's not at all the same when I arrived at Arsenal to be cursed by the Tottenham fans and to be angry at Tottenham. You go out and see, my house is full of fans. There are still three months left to end the season. If we let the fans know the truth, they will smash our house. ”
Campbell has also been in a very upset mood lately. Every day, hundreds of fans surround his home, either burning his jersey or beating gongs and drums. It's not good to rest if you want to rest at all. Looking at the death threat letters, Campbell felt creepy.
"Who the hell could it be?"
Andrew thought of Campbell's current situation, and also sat down in his chair in a gloomy manner. And then I kept guessing who it was? Andrew and David. Dunn, Jerome. Anderson's meetings were extremely secretive. Now all that remains is the signing fee and salary, which have not yet been fully negotiated. Andrew Lions asked for £8 million for a signing fee, but Arsenal were only willing to pay £4 million.
Could it be that Arsenal deliberately let out the wind to put pressure on themselves? Andrew quickly shook his head, it shouldn't be like this. Because it's easy to backfire and Arsenal shouldn't be so stupid.
So who is it exactly? After thinking about it for a while, Andrew really couldn't think of anyone who had such a motive, whether it was really just a reporter who wrote it. But rather than figuring out who's playing tricks, Andrew knows that solving the problem is the most important thing. But he really couldn't help it.
Campbell is reluctant to go abroad, and among the three giants in England, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, Liverpool is not strong enough. Although Andrew seems to continue negotiations with Liverpool, Liverpool have long been abandoned by Andrew and Campbell. Now the media still says every day that Campbell may lose to Liverpool, and most of it is fake news deliberately released by Andrew.
Speaking of Campbell and Andrew, the move to Manchester United is the most howard. After all, Manchester United has the strength and results, and is the hegemon of the Premier League. It's a pity that Manchester United's attitude is somewhat ambiguous, and it doesn't seem to be as sincere as Arsenal at all. That's why Andrew chose Arsenal. And now among all the conditions given by the clubs, Arsenal is definitely the most haode.
"Didi-Di-"
Just as Andrew and Campbell were both frowning, Andrew's cell phone rang. Andrew picked up the phone and saw that it was not the phone number he recognized. Andrew scolded angrily in his heart, and he didn't know which reporter knew his phone number. He wanted to hang up, but after thinking about it, he picked up the phone anyway.
"Hello, I'm Peter from Manchester United. Kenyon. ”
Andrew was stunned, Manchester United's Kenyon was not the one who had just replaced Edwards as Manchester United's CEO. Andrew only became a well-known agent in English football because he relied on Campbell, and his own connections in English football are not strong. As a result, he did not meet Kenyon or communicate with him.
But at this time, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Because Andrew thought of another possibility, one that could calm the storm. Even in his heart, he decided that Manchester United did it. However, he did not think about pursuing it, and as long as United are willing to offer the same terms as Arsenal, then he will also reconsider the transfer of Campbell.
After a few brief words with Kenyon, Andrew hung up the phone. Then he looked at Campbell and said with a smile, "Maybe we really have a way." (To be continued......)
