Chapter 583 Volume Five
The transfer market will not open until July [-]st. Before that, even if he has signed a contract with the Forest team, Arshavin has no way to report to the Forest team. He will continue to stay in Russia.

After Arshavin signed, Tang En's heart was at ease.

The arrival of the Russians let Anelka know that his days in the forest team were over, although Tang En did not directly call his agent brother and said: "Your brother is not in my plan for next season." It was also because he no longer wanted to have any conversations with Anelka—this season, Twain really hadn't spoken a word to Anelka, whether in training or in games, when he needed to explain tactics. It was all for Don to tell Anelka that he stood aside and completely regarded the French striker as air.

He is such a person. When the relationship is good, it's okay to joke around. Once the relationship breaks down, he can easily do no matter how heartless things are.

He knew that with Arshavin's arrival, Anelka's two older brothers should have their results.

Sure enough, the next day, sports news reported that several clubs were interested in Anelka.But here, most of them are mid-lower teams, such as Fulham, Bolton in the Premier League... and Villarreal in La Liga.

Tang En was very happy to throw Anelka into these teams that could only participate in the UEFA Cup, and let him experience the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the harshness of society.But Anelka probably won't be willing to go.Maybe Villarreal is not bad?

When the reporters went to interview Tang En, Tang En expressed his opinion. "As long as the price is right, we are happy to sell Anelka."

The next day, Nottingham Forest Club received offers from Fulham and Bolton. Bolton offered £800 million, but Twain rejected it without thinking.It cost 800 million to buy Anelka back then, but Twain didn't think that the striker who stayed in the team for three years and even won the European Champions Cup didn't improve at all.

Fulham is slightly more generous, 1000 million.Tang En agreed to the offer, and then the Forest Club notified Anelka's agent that they could negotiate terms with Fulham.

Of course Anelka knew what Tang En was thinking - he wanted to hang out with the middle and lower reaches of the team.He must not be able to do what he wanted, so this time Anelka refused without thinking.When he was interviewed by the media, he said that he likes Nottingham Forest very much, the teammates here, the fans here, and the life here. In order to prove it, he also used the fact that he bought a house here as evidence of the protracted war. .In addition, he also said that he has no conflicts with coach Tony Twain at all, and he is happy to continue playing under this coach.

Anyone who knew some stories about these two people would scoff at this answer, and so did Tang En, but he had nothing to do with Anelka.

If Anelka didn't want to go, he couldn't force him to go.He knew that Anelka was waiting for those stronger teams to make a move. Of course, the French striker would not want to stay on the Forest team's bench. He was not the kind of person who was willing to get paid on the bench.

After waiting for another day, it is estimated that Anelka's agent had negotiated with Villarreal, and the Spanish club made a formal offer to the Forest team - 800 million pounds.

This price made Dunn furious. He believed that Anelka's two agent brothers had colluded with the opposing club. They used the method of privately contacting the players, inquiring about the players' intentions, and then partnering to put pressure on the Forest team. In order to buy Anelka at the cheapest price.

Tang En directly rejected Villarreal again. In the fax of the refusal, he told the Spaniard straightforwardly: "Please don't talk about it if it is less than 1000 million pounds."

Anelka knew how to use the media to put pressure on himself, so how could Tang En not know how to use the media to put pressure on the opponent?

He took advantage of Anelka's remarks before, against each other.

"...Yes, my relationship with Nicolas (Anelka) is very good, there is no conflict between us. I hope he stays in the forest team, we all know that we lack a speed forward." Poor Al Chauvin was "forgotten" by Tang En just like that. "However, as a good friend of Nicholas, I will not hinder his idea of ​​pursuing new challenges. If he wants to seek new excitement, I will let him go. But... there is one condition here. He is a Nottingham Forest player. A striker who has won the European Cup needs to have an offer that fits his status. I don't think £800m is a respect for my players and my team. If you really want Anne Erka, please show enough sincerity."

This is beautiful words, what is enough sincerity?Just enough pounds.

Tang En slightly changed the words that Anelka used to block him in the media, and made Anelka and his manager brother into dumb people who ate yellow lotus - they couldn't tell the pain.They can't say publicly: "We have reached an agreement with Villarreal in private. We promise to let players help them put pressure on the Forest team to ensure that they buy Anelka at the cheapest price, and then we will You can get a discount from it."

In that case, Twain would be happy to sue Villarreal and Anelka's two older brothers to FIFA.

It is precisely because they knew that what they were doing was shady stuff, that's why Anelka's two older brothers went crazy-they wanted to use Anelka's remarks to put pressure on Forest Club and demonstrate to Twain .Unexpectedly, Twain would play with him instead.

Villarreal thought it would be enough to give the Forest team face by offering 800 million pounds to a player who had been on the bench for a year in the Forest team. It is suspected that the 800 million pounds belonged to Dafa beggars!He doesn't look at what Anelka has become, and no one cares about it in the transfer market!He is not the main force of the team, and he still writes such idiotic words as "less than 1000 million, please don't talk about it"!
Villarreal was annoyed and stopped asking for a price.

This time, Anelka and his two older brothers were caught in the middle, neither to leave nor to stay.

Tang En didn't care about them, and let them toss around while he was busy contacting signings from other positions.

※ ※ ※

Anelka is eager to sell himself to those big clubs, but he played too few games last season, which made many teams that were interested in him hesitate now.

The rest of the Forest team is different from him. Those who have proved their abilities in the Forest team, as the Forest team won the Champions League, their value has also increased.Many clubs have expressed their interest in Forest players.

A few years ago, when the Forest team was not well-known, these people were hardly cared about, but now the various transfer requests that flew to Nottingham Forest Club made Tang En feel a little anxious.

Looking at the purchase lists of these teams, almost the entire lineup of the Forest team will be emptied.

Franck Ribery and George Wood are the two most popular in the transfer market, and many wealthy clubs have taken a fancy to them.The most substantial offer so far is Real Madrid's offer to Wood-2000 million pounds.

Real Madrid's pursuit of Wood is not a matter of a day or two. Although the news has not been made public yet, some people in the media have already sniffed it out.

George Wood is the captain of the Forest team, the banner and core of the future. Even if Real Madrid offered [-] million pounds, Twain would not sell it.

Ribery's situation is similar to that of Wood.Franck Ribery was dug out by Twain himself from the lower leagues in France and brought to England to give him a chance to become a world-class star.There are many teams that are interested in him now, but Twain does not intend to talk to those clubs who are waving checks.

Nottingham Forest is not a small team that has to sell its star to survive, nor does it say that it will fall apart if it wins the championship.

And this is only a champion, if he is satisfied with this, Tang En will not be Tang En.

Even though Twain still didn't want to sell any players who were still useful to the team, under such a big background, he seemed a bit too wishful thinking.

On the morning of June 27th, Dunn received a call from Mikel Arteta's agent.

During the phone call, the agent told Twain that the Premier League team Everton was very interested in Arteta. Moyes hoped to introduce this playmaker who was not the main player in the Forest team. The agent hoped to hear the opinions of the club. .

Tang En originally wanted to answer "No" reflexively, but he calmed down instantly.

He knows Arteta's current situation in the team, hesitant about the arrival of Van der Vaart and the maturity of George Wood, and the discovery of Ribery's talent in the middle. The Spaniard can no longer find a place in the Forest team's midfield. Playing as the main force is a little lacking, and playing as a substitute is really a waste...

Twain also had a headache for this person's chance to play, but he was a little reluctant to sell it, because Arteta could form an effective supplement to the team's lineup.But after all, this was viewed from the perspective of the head coach Twain, not from the perspective of the player Arteta himself.

"My opinion? I want to hear Mikel's thoughts first." He was unwilling to answer the other party directly.

The agent told Dunn that Arteta also wanted to leave the Forest team and go to Everton, which promised him the main position.

"Mikel likes you very much, Mr. Tang En. He thinks you are the best head coach he has ever seen, but..." the agent changed the subject, "He has no chance to play in the forest team. Mikel is At the age of 25, he still has a lot of room for development, but if he can’t play games, these are just empty talk. Of course he hopes to stay in the Forest team. After all, he has been here for three years and is used to life here, but Mr. Tang En, can you promise to give him a stable playing position?"

These words left Tang En speechless.

He didn't want Arteta to leave, but he never thought about giving Arteta a main position-he always used the Spaniard as a substitute player.In this regard, he must have a different opinion from Arteta.

After being silent for a while, Tang En shook his head: "No, I can't make that kind of promise. I choose players based on their status, not their names..."

Before he finished his "excuse", he was interrupted by the other party.

"That's right, you see, Mr. Tang En, that's it. So Mikel will have to leave his favorite Forest team and go to a team that can guarantee him the main position, such as...Everton."

Tang En was silent for a while, and he decided to accept this reality - the barracks made of iron, the soldiers flowing with water.There are always people coming and going in a team.Whether it's Anelka or Arteta, their departure is nothing more than a normal thing in this circle.

"Okay, just like a man and woman who fell in love and then broke up, let's be friendly. As long as Everton's asking price is not too low, I will allow him to transfer." Dunn sighed. "I still say that, my players must leave Wilford with a decent price."

"Thank you, Mr. Dunn. I believe Everton's offer will not disappoint you."

What the agent said was good. As Tang En's old friend, Moyes also gave the Forest team a lot of face.Nottingham Forest doesn't want Manchester United and Liverpool to sell their players to their direct competitors in the same league.As long as you estimate Tang En's face and the interests of the club, Tang En will be happy to do business with you.

Moyes knew his friend well. In Dunn's words, the price offered by Everton this time was "very sincere".

£1000 million to buy Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta.

Tang En did not obstruct anything, he nodded and agreed to the deal.For a substitute player, 1000 million is not too little.Everyone's economic situation is not good now, and it is not the era when transfer fees soared in the past.You must know that when the Forest team bought Arteta from Real Sociedad, it only cost 300 million euros, which is equivalent to about 200 million pounds. Now two and a half years have passed, and they have made nearly 800 million pounds. He must be very happy that Twain completed this deal instead of rejecting Everton like he rejected AC Milan before.

There is another reason why Twain agreed so readily. Everton has produced Rooney. Who knows if there will be other talents in their youth training?At that time... the forest team's youth training camp will just replenish fresh seedlings.Now, the Forest team has expanded its scouts for young players, and they are searching for outstanding youngsters for Twain all over the UK.

The matter between the clubs has been settled, and Twain no longer cares about trivial matters such as negotiating between individual players and the club. From the conversation between his agent and him, he can know that Arteta's agent must have contacted Everton people in advance After that, and maybe the agreement has been initialed in private, just wait for him, the head coach, to nod on behalf of the Forest Club, and the deal can be completed.

In today's football, there are too many things that bypass the club and go to the opponent's players first. Doesn't Twain do this often?It's just that everyone agrees with each other.

The speed at which Arteta and Everton negotiated has verified Twain's guess. The next day, Everton couldn't wait to announce their first deal of this summer on their official website - £1000 million from Nottingham Forest Buy playmaker Mikel Arteta.

Moyes excitedly declared in the press conference that he would make Arteta the core of Everton's midfield.He finally got the player of his dreams, albeit two and a half years too late.

And Arteta's departure has also become the most important transfer of the Forest team in recent years, and it seems to have broken the statement that "the Forest team does not sell people" that Twain has always emphasized before.

Many clubs that have always been interested in Forest players seem to have been encouraged, and have stepped up their pursuit of these players.

On June 29th, two days before the start of the summer transfer market, two transfer applications for two different players from different clubs were placed on Tony Twain's desk.

The one on the left is from Italy.Juventus, who were ordered to enter the second division because of the "Callgate" incident, and then promoted ahead of schedule, offered the Forest team 1000 two million pounds to buy Anelka.

The one on the right is from England.Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has taken over Manchester City strongly, and he also wants to take over the Premier League, just like Abramovich at the beginning. For this reason, he spared no effort to improve the competitiveness of his team. In addition to hiring Eriksson In addition to coaching the team, he also searched for talents everywhere.This time his target is Ashley Young, the main right midfielder of the new European champion.
