Chapter 757 Volume [-] Crimson Forest Wings
The World Cup is over, some people are happy and some are worried, and it is no longer Tang En's concern.What he considered was how to maximize the transfer budget of 5000 million pounds given by the club.

Bentley's performance in the World Cup was far from being as radiant as George Wood's, but Twain basically affirmed his strength and status. When the World Cup was still going on, he had already entrusted the club to ask Tottenham for a price.

Tottenham did not agree to sell England's starting right-back at the beginning, so Twain found time during the World Cup to meet with Bentley's agent, through which he connected with Bentley.Bentley told Twain that he hoped to join Nottingham Forest, because the Forest team could participate in the Champions Cup next season, while Tottenham only qualified for the UEFA Cup.

So Twain hoped that Bentley would put pressure on Tottenham and have a showdown with Levi.

Bentley promised to do it after the World Cup.Now he just wants to play well in the World Cup.

After the World Cup, he once again urged a showdown between Bentley and Tottenham through his agent.

First of all, Tony Twain publicly announced his appreciation for Bentley—he used his work to create momentum for this matter during the World Cup broadcast.

Then Bentley responded smoothly.When being interviewed by reporters, he expressed that he was very happy for coach Tony Twain's appreciation.He thinks that Tony Twain is the best head coach in England now, because he can lead the team to the championship.Pierce Bruce, who interviewed him, asked at the right time: "What if he played under him?" Bentley replied with a smile: "I think it must be great!"

Well, now that Lang is interested, it depends on what Tottenham Hotspur have to say.

After the World Cup, Bentley had a private conversation with Redknapp Sr., Tottenham Hotspur manager.In this meeting, Bentley expressed to Redknapp his desire to leave Tottenham and go to Nottingham Forest to pursue championship honors.He hopes that the team can support his personal pursuit, which has nothing to do with salary.

In fact, after Berbatov's incident, Tottenham Hotspur should have already understood the fact that as long as the player himself wants to leave, it will be useless to force him to stay.

If Levi was smart, he shouldn't continue to reject Nottingham Forest's "sincerity".Instead, seriously consider how much money you can sell Bentley.

Tottenham have agreed to Bentley's departure after two days of deliberation.The rest is simple, nothing more than a question of how much money is right.

Tottenham bought Bentley for £500 million.With the advent of the worldwide financial crisis, clubs have become more rational in spending money in the transfer market, and the value of players has generally fallen, and Bentley is no exception.It would be nice to be able to sell for 500 million.In fact, the price that Tottenham offered the Forest team was 500 million pounds, and they hoped that at least they would not lose money.

And Alan Adams insisted that the Forest team can only pay 100 million pounds.

Negotiations were deadlocked for a week, and eventually both sides made concessions.Sold for £350 million.The Forest team made a down payment of 100 million pounds, and when Bentley played 250 times in the Forest team, he gave Tottenham another [-] million pounds.

The personal treatment contract has been negotiated long ago.

Less than two weeks after the end of the World Cup, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur jointly announced that England's "New Beckham" David Bentley has officially transferred from Tottenham to Forest, and the transfer fee involved is 350 million GBP.

After Dunn left the negotiation matter to Allen, he was busy looking for the left wing of the team.

After sifting back and forth, he set his sights on Mathias Fernandez, the left midfielder of La Liga powerhouse Villarreal.

On the one hand, Fernandez has the desire to leave the submarine. Although Villarreal has been able to steadily guarantee participation in the European Champions Cup in recent seasons, wanting to win the championship is tantamount to a dream.Nottingham Forest has just won the championship in the previous two seasons.The difference between Villarreal and Nottingham Forest is obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.

On the other hand, Villarreal also needs money. As a small club, the budget has always been tight, and they can only make money by selling stars.If the Forest team wants to buy Fernandez, the club should not be an obstacle.

Tang En's buying strategy is still a two-step strategy - one step is to find the club, and the other step is to find players.Before looking for a club, contact the player in private to see what he thinks.If he wants to come, then he will focus on the club. If he doesn't want to come, he will get the players first, and if he can't, he will change the target.

This time, Fernandez really wanted to leave.He is eager to go to a bigger stage and to have new challenges.It's not okay to stay in Villarreal all the time.In fact, if clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona take a fancy to him, it would be the best result.But now these big clubs are not very interested in themselves, only some mid-range clubs are interested.For example, Rome and Fiorentina in Italy, Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, Everton and Aston Villa in the Premier League, and Deportivo and Valencia in Spain.

In such a comparison, he thinks it is more cost-effective to choose Nottingham Forest.After all, the Forest team has just won the European Champions Cup for two consecutive years.Although there have been some setbacks in the past two seasons, their head coach who pursues victory and championship is still there, and the foundation of this team is still there.

Mathias Fernandez understands it this way: the backbone of a Premier League team is the head coach, so as long as the head coach is still there, the team is not finished.

His understanding is very in line with the status quo of most Premier League teams.

Dunn assured him that playing in the Forest team would definitely have a better future than playing in Villarreal—"because we are a team with a championship tradition."

Fernandez assured Twain that if Nottingham Forest could meet Villarreal's transfer fee requirements, he would give priority to signing with the Forest team.

Next, Nottingham Forest offered Villarreal 1000 to [-] million euros to buy Fernandez.

Villarreal did not reject the Forest team, but re-opened a price: still 1000 or [-] million, but please change "euro" to "pound".

Without hesitation, Tang En nodded in agreement with the price offered by the other party.

The next procedure is to compete with several other clubs to see who can get the "Hydrangea" thrown by Matias Fernandez.

Since an agreement has been reached in private.Fernandez finally chose the contract offered by Nottingham Forest.

In this way, after spending a total of 550 million pounds, Tony Twain got the left and right wings he wanted.Bentley on the right and Fernandez on the left.

Half of the transfer budget is left, how to spend it?

"What do you think of Adriano?" Tang En suddenly said to Tang who was busy beside him when he was preparing for the upcoming training at the Wilford Training Base.

"If you're interested in him, I'd say it's not very good." Tang En answered Tang En as he continued to do his own work without raising his head.

"Hmm..." Tang En didn't refute, he pinched his chin and began to think.

"You're right, he's really not that good." Tang En spoke after pondering for a while. "I'm just thinking about it..."

Only one day ago, he focused on introducing the two wings of the newly joined team to his teammates, fans and media, and the king of Nottingham Forest is worrying about the striker again.

Although Zikic's performance in the second season was much better than that in the first season, his contribution to the team's tactics is also remarkable.But it seems that because he always needs to be a bridgehead in the tactics, his scoring rate is on the decline.His assists have gone up, and he is also very helpful to the team's offense in the frontcourt, but his own goal numbers are always not up.Tang En has already decided to give up the idea of ​​cultivating Zigic as a pure scorer. He found that Zigic has done a good job in the position of tactical center. Except for a little less scoring, he can hardly pick anything. fault.

Abang Laho is fast, very fast.But his shooting is still a bit rough, and he prefers to play on the wing because there is enough space for him to burst.He is more effective than anyone else in counterattacks, but the Forest team cannot always counterattack.This set has long been thoroughly studied by their opponents.

Eastwood is stable, provided he is not injured.In the new season, the Forest team must at least fight on two fronts. Twain can't expect Eastwood to play all the games for a season alone.

Milan and Moses are still too young, and it is absolutely impossible to expect them to take on big responsibilities.

Therefore, the Forest team still needs to strengthen the strength of the striker.

In order to make room for the new striker, Twain decided to loan out Moses and Milan for training.These two little guys are very popular due to their outstanding performance last season, Tang En doesn't need to worry about their whereabouts.

So the only question now is - which striker should I buy?

The transfer fee Twain can control at most now is 3000 million pounds - after buying Bentley and Fernandez, Alan Adams added another 500 million pounds to Twain's transfer budget.It seems that the Forest team really wants to do a big job in the new season this time.

Who can buy 3000 million?In fact, there are many people who can buy it, but there are very few people who can buy it.

The financial crisis has caused the value of the players to shrink, and the stars who used to be expensive at every turn have now returned to their civilian colors.A typical example, Real Madrid announced the acquisition of Benzema this summer. The bargaining lasted throughout the World Cup, and in the end it only cost 3000 million euros.What did Aulas say two years ago? "Benzema is worth 5000 million euros!" At that time, the actual offer could not be less than [-] million.

Ibramovich, Eto'o, Villa, Tevez, Berbatov... These people's current transfer fee of 3000 million pounds can be satisfied, but in the hands of the Forest team, each of them is worthless. Can't buy it.

On the one hand, the Forest team is still far behind those real giants.On the other hand, even if they can buy these superstars, they probably can't afford to meet their salaries.You must know that Ibramovich enjoys an annual salary of 1000 to 1000 million euros after tax in Inter Milan.Italy imposes a heavy tax of 400% on football. The annual salary of [-] and [-] million after tax means that the Inter Milan club will pay [-] million euros every year just for the wages of Ibrahimovic...

Even if England does not impose such a heavy tax on the football industry, a figure of 1000 to [-] million is absolutely unaffordable by Nottingham Forest.

So Twain can only set his sights on two types of people: one is world-class shooters who have already proven their status in world football, but are currently not doing well.The other is a quasi-first-class striker who is not well-known but capable.

The best candidate for the former is actually the frustrated Adriano who lived in Inter Milan.

Twain had seriously considered the possibility of the Brazilian joining the team before.First of all, although I am against Mourinho, I believe Mourinho will not make things difficult for Adriano's transfer.Inter Milan also hopes to get rid of the burden of Adriano as soon as possible, and they will never allow Adriano to be sold to an Italian team, so foreign teams are the only option for the Brazilians.At the same time, Adriano and his agent will not agree to return to Brazil to play football, so the English team is actually the best choice.

But the core problem that made Dunn hesitate was Adriano himself.This is a player with no technical problems, but a big psychological problem.Arriving late for training, absent, lingering in nightclubs late at night until the early morning of the next day, buying prostitutes, thinking that the attitude of big names is not correct, confronting the coach of the team face to face, questioning authority...

None of these problems was something Tang En didn't like.

He had the same temper as Mourinho. If Mourinho couldn't tolerate Adriano, then Twain probably couldn't either.

Perhaps he could use various methods to keep Adriano honest for a season, but Twain knew very well that Adriano's nature would not be reversed so easily.Once he regains his composure, what awaits Tang En is endless off-court scandals.Can he change such a self-willed genius?
Tang En and Tang discussed it several times, and Tang came to the same conclusion—maybe it was possible before his father died, but after his father died, it was completely useless.

He also advised Dunn: "If the club thinks that you spent tens of millions of pounds for him to play a good season for the team, I don't guarantee how Mr. Chairman will treat you. Adriano is too risky, we There are many ways to avoid this risk. I don't think Adriano is a good deal."

Tang En was troubled for several days. After repeatedly studying Adriano's performance in recent years and off-court gossip, he officially announced this morning that he gave up on Adriano.

The Brazilian is an idiot who cannot be supported, and Tony Twain is not an omnipotent God.Although deep down in his heart he feels sorry for this former genius shooter, but the reality is very cruel. He doesn't need to spend tens of millions for charity to save a delinquent youth who is not related to him.

Then the question arises again-

"Hey, Don. You can recommend me a few more. The ones you recommended before always have something that doesn't satisfy me. You know I'm a perfectionist..."
