Chapter 107: Forests in the Transfer Market (Part 2)

Ribery suddenly screamed loudly, alarming all the tenants in the house. They stood on the stairs and looked at the scar-faced boy who was screaming in confusion in circles in the porch. The fat landlord squeezed out from behind the crowd and shouted in a louder voice than Ribery. Until he completely suppressed him, Ribery stopped this crazy behavior.

"Frank, what's wrong with you?" asked the fat landlord.

Ribery shouted loudly: "I'm going to England, I'm going to England!"

"UK? Isn't it just across the sea? Where are you doing what?" asked a tall and thin man wearing only one pair of shorts.

"Go and play professional football!!" When Ribery thought of that phone call and the future in England, his face twisted with excitement. "I...I want to treat you to dinner! Drink! I want to celebrate!"

The landlord spread his hands and said, "Okay, Frank, since you have money, let's rent me the house from last month first."

When it comes to this, Ribery's eyebrows drooped again: "Can you owe it first, Aunt Emma? You know I'm now..."

Looking at his embarrassment, the landlord smiled, she moved down the stairs, and gave Ribery a hug: "Okay, don't worry, Frank. Good luck." Then she gently kissed Ribery on the forehead. After her, the tenants who lived under the same roof also came up to congratulate Ribery who found the team again.

"Do it well, Frank! Become a big star! Just like Henry!"

"Let the whole French know that we, Crogue, can also produce stars!"

"Frank-Ribery!"

"Oh Lai! Oh Lai!"

Ribery will feel very lucky that a young player who is unknown in the League C will be favored by Premier League teams, and the biggest problem that has troubled him has been solved.

Tony Donne also feels very lucky. Metz has not attacked Ribery yet, or something goes wrong. In short, the main midfielder of the French national team in the future, the Scar Warrior who shines in the German World Cup now belongs to him. The speed is extremely fast and good at dribbling will be a sharp knife on the left side of the Forest team, and he can also play the front midfielder, right winger and forward. Such an all-around midfielder can be free, so where can I find such a cheap thing?

Four days later, this was finally confirmed, when the confidence of the deal was announced on the Piaotiansi Station. Even England's most knowledgeable and powerful remember that football reporters and commentators didn't know who "Frank Ribery" was. Instead, his scar face became the target of interest to the media. Regarding his joining, the media generally believed that Don't spend a penny to deepen the thickness of the bench.

Since Don Eun put his goal to France, how could he lose this person? One day later, Forest announced that he had reached an agreement with Ligue 1 team Bastia. They introduced Bastia's main right-back Pascal_chimbonda (pascal_chimbonda) for a price of one million pounds. As Bathia's main right-back, Zimbonda scored a goal thirty-one home game last season. The outstanding performance has aroused the interest of many teams, and this time, Don Eun was ahead of his competitors.

In terms of central defenders, although the Forest already has Herard Pique, Clint Hill, and Wes Morgan. But for the Forest team that needs to fight on multiple fronts, it is far from enough.

Just now July is approaching, and the latest information about transfers on the Forests' official website is constantly refreshing.

On July 1, Nottingham Forest announced that it had reached an agreement with Birmingham. For 4 million pounds, sign Birmingham landlord central defender Matthew Epson (matthew_upson). Although Epson, who was born in Arsenal's youth training camp, is not the top defender in the Premier League, he can still occupy a main position among the mid-stream teams in the Premier League. And the main factor that Don't like him is that compared with other central defenders in the team, Epson, 25, has rich experience and has played in many teams. In addition, for Epson, this transfer to Nottingham Forest can be said to be a "revisiting the old land" to some extent - he was loaned to the Forest by Arsenal in the 2000-01 season, but unfortunately he only played one game.

On the front line, Donn gave up Gareth Taylor who joined the team last season and gave him two choices, either accepting a substitute, transfer or loan. Taylor chose the latter, and the Forests are currently in contact with several teams that are interesting to Taylor.

Ian Jace ended his contract with the Forests and chose to return to Aberdeen to retire. The Forests' midfield now lacks a player who is capable of organizing an offense. At the same time, there is also a set piece player.

Donne had a look at Mikel Arteta (mikel_arteta) who had just returned to Spain from Glasgow Rangers in Scotland. He hoped to convince him to join the ambitious Forest. But Arteta was not interested in the newly promoted Forest team because the La Liga powerhouse Real Sociedad sent an invitation to him. As an Espanyol, the motherland team is obviously more suitable for Arteta. He rejected Donne and chose to go to Real Sociedad.

After learning about Arteta's choice, Donn sighed. Even though he changed Pique's future trajectory, he still did not change Arteta's future. Mikel Arteta was originally another excellent product in Barcelona's youth training camp. It was once regarded as Guardiola's successor and Barcelona's No. 4 position. He plays in the middle, is good at organizing offenses, and also has good positioning footwork. These are the reasons why Donn likes him.

But he chose to join Real Sociedad, which was exactly the same as the history in Donn's memory. Arteta, who had no chance to play in Barcelona, ​​had to frequently go to other teams in order to play in the game. In the 2000-01 season, he was loaned to Paris Saint-Germain by Barcelona. Although he only played six games, he scored a goal.   In the 2001-02 season, he continued to be loaned to Paris Saint-Germain and performed averagely.   When he returned to Barcelona, ​​he found that he had no place here. He had no choice but to terminate his contract with Barcelona and freely transferred to Glasgow Rangers in Scotland. He went to two games in Scotland.

The season was wonderful. He played fifty times for the team and scored ten goals. Then, Real Sociedad fell in love with Arteta in the faraway Scotland and sent him an invitation. When he returned to Spain with confidence, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought. At Real Sociedad, he still couldn't get the opportunity. Half a season later, in January 2005, he was loaned to Premier League team Everton by Real Sociedad. Half a season later, he permanently transferred to this Liverpool team. After a long round, he found his stable home. At that time, he was already twenty-three years old, and his youth was wasted in constant wandering.

Donne wanted to omit Real Sociedad's step directly and bring Arteta, who is already accustomed to English football, from the cold Glasgow to Nottingham. Helpless...

This is fate. Everyone has their own destiny. You must go on that...

Arteta is not the first person to let Donne hit a stunt in the transfer market. He has not given up on finding someone for the team to organize an offense in the middle of the midfield. This time he targeted Habi Alonso. But with the financial and influence of the Forest team, it is too difficult to successfully introduce this midfielder that makes Real Madrid covetous.

Alonso even refused to talk to Forests because he felt that he would definitely not be able to go to a new team. If he had to leave Real Sociedad, his whereabouts would be a giant team. In the end, Liverpool got him for 10.5 million pounds.
