Chapter 78 The Forest Wings

The World Cup is over, and some people are happy and some are worried is no longer a matter of Don En. He is considering how to maximize the transfer budget of 50 million pounds given by the club.

Bentley's performance in the World Cup was far less brilliant than George Wood, but Don basically affirmed his strength and condition. When the World Cup was still in progress, he had already entrusted the club to ask Tottenham for the price.

Tottenham did not agree to sell the England starting right-back at first, so Donne took time to meet Bentley's agent during the World Cup and joined Bentley through this agent. Bentley told Donne that he hoped to join Nottingham Forest because Forests can participate in the Champions League next season, and Tottenham is only qualified for the League Cup.

So Done hopes that Bentley will put pressure on Tottenham and showdown with Levi.

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

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

First of all, Tony Donn publicly announced his appreciation for Bentley - he used his work a lot to build momentum for this matter during the World Cup broadcast.

Then Bentley responded with the flow. In an interview with reporters, he expressed that he was very happy about the appreciation of coach Tony Donne. He believed that Tony Donne is the best head coach in England now because he can lead the team to win the championship. Pierce Bruce, who interviewed him, asked at a very appropriate time: "What if you play football under him?" Bentley smiled and replied: "I think that must be great!"

Okay, now that I have love and love, it depends on what Tottenham Hotspur said.

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

In fact, after the incident with Berbatov, Tottenham Hotspur should have already understood a fact - as long as the player wants to leave, forcibly retaining it will be useless.

If Levi was smart, he should not continue to reject the "sincerity" of Nottingham Forest. Instead, he seriously considered how much he could sell Bentley.

After two days of consideration, Tottenham agreed to leave. The rest was simple, it was just a question of how much it cost.

Tottenham bought Bentley for 15 million pounds. With the arrival of the global financial crisis, the club is more rational in spending money in the transfer market. The players' value generally falls, and Bentley is no exception. It would be good to be able to sell for 15 million. In fact, the price offered by Tottenham for the Forest is 15 million pounds. They hope at least not to lose money.

Alan Adams insists that the Forests can only pay 11 million pounds.

The negotiations were stalemate for a week, and finally both sides made a move. The deal was made at 13.5 million pounds. The Forests paid 11 million pounds down. When Bentley made 30 appearances with Forests, he gave Tottenham another 2.5 million pounds.

The personal treatment contract has been agreed long ago.

Less than two weeks after the World Cup, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur jointly announced that England's "new Beckham" David Bentley officially transferred from Tottenham to Forest, with the transfer fee involved 13.5 million pounds.

After Donn threw the negotiations at Allen, he was busy looking for the wings on the left side of the team.

After screening back and forth, he set his target on the left midfielder Matthias Fernandez of La Liga powerhouse Villarreal.

On the one hand, Fernandez has the desire to leave the submarine. Although Villarreal can be guaranteed to participate in the European Championship in recent seasons, it is a dream to win the championship. Nottingham Forest just won the championship in the first two seasons. The difference between Villarreal and Nottingham Forest can be seen at a glance.

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

Tang En is still a two-step strategy to buy people - one step to find the club and one step to find the players. Before looking for a club, contact the players privately and see what his opinions are. If he wants to come, then focus on the club. If he doesn't want to come, deal with the players first, and change the target if he can't handle it.

This time, Fernandez really wants to leave. He is eager to go to a bigger stage and to have new challenges. He is not allowed to stay in Villarreal. In fact, if clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona like him are the best result. But now these big clubs are not very interested in their own places, and they are only interested in some mid-range clubs. For example, Rome and Fiorentina in Italy, Schalke 04 and Bremen in the Bundesliga. Everton and Aston Villa in the Premier League, as well as La Coruna and Valencia in Spain.

After this comparison, he thought it would be more cost-effective to choose Nottingham Forest. The Forest team has just won the European Champions League for two years. Although they have suffered 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.

Matthias Fernandez understands this: the backbone of a Premier League team is the head coach, so as long as the head coach is still there, the team will not be finished.

His understanding is very consistent with the current situation of most Premier League teams.

Done assured him that playing football in the Forest is definitely more promising than playing football in Villarreal - "because we are a team with a championship tradition."

Fernandez assured Donn that if Nottingham Forest can meet Villarreal's transfer fee conditions, he prioritized signing with the Forest.

Next. Nottingham Forest offered Villarreal a price of 12 million euros to buy Fernandez.

Villarreal did not refuse the Forest team at all, but just reopened the price: still 12 million. But please change the "Euro" to "GBP".

Tang En nodded without hesitation and agreed to the price offered by the other party.

The subsequent program was to compete with several other clubs to see who could get the "hydrangea" thrown by Matthias Fernandez.

Since an agreement has been reached privately, Fernandez finally chose the contract issued by Nottingham Forest.

In this way, it cost a total of £25.5 million. Tony Donn got the left and right wings he wanted. Bentley on the right and Fernandez on the left.

The transfer budget is still half left, how should I spend it?

"What do you think of Adriano?" Tang En suddenly said to Tang who was busy on the ground beside him as he was preparing for training at the Vilford training base.

"If you are interested in him, I will say it's not very good." Tang didn't raise his head and continued to do his own work, answering Tang En.

"Well..." Tang En did not retort, and he pinched his chin and began to ponder.

"You are right. He is really not very good." After pondering for a while, Tang En spoke. "I just think about it..."

A day ago, the two newly joined team wings were introduced to teammates, fans and media. The King of Nottingham Forest was worried about the forward candidate again.

Although Jikic's performance in the second season was much better than in the first season, his contribution to the team's tactics was remarkable. But it seems that because he always needs to be a bridgehead in tactics, his scoring rate is on a downward trend. His assists have increased and are also very helpful to the team's offense in the frontcourt, but his own goal numbers are always not up. Don Eun has decided to give up the idea of ​​cultivating Jikic as a pure scoring shooter. He found Jikic has done a good job in the tactical center position. Apart from the fewer goals, he can hardly find anything wrong.

Abanglaho is very fast, very fast. But his shooting skills are still a little rougher, and he prefers to move on the wings - because there is enough space for him to break. He works better than anyone when fighting against the counterattack, but the Forest team cannot always fight back. This set has been thoroughly studied by their opponents.

Eastwood is in a stable state. The premise is not to be injured. The Forest team must play at least two-front battles in the new season. Don't expect Eastwood to play all the games of a season by himself.

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

Therefore, the Forest team still needs to strengthen its strength on the front line.

In order to make room for the new striker, Don Eun decided to loan Moses and Milan for training. The two little guys were very popular due to their outstanding performance last season. Don Eun doesn't need to worry about where they are going.

So the only question now is - which striker is better to buy?

The transfer fee that Done can now control is 30 million pounds. After buying Bentley and Fernandez, Allen Adams added another transfer budget for Done. It seems that the Forest really wants to have a big game in the new season.

Who can I buy for 30 million? I would say that there are many people who can buy it, but there are actually very few people who can buy it.

The financial crisis has caused players to shrink their value. The stars who used to be so expensive have now returned to their common people. A typical example is that Real Madrid announced the acquisition of Benzema this summer, and the bargaining continued throughout the World Cup, and in the end it only cost 30 million euros. What did Oras say two years ago? "Benzema is worth 100 million euros!" At that time, the actual price could not be less than 50 million.

Ibramovich, Etoo, Villa, Tvez, Berbatov... These people currently have 30 million pounds of transfer fees, but they are in the hands of the Forest team. They can't buy them alone.

On the one hand, the Forest team is much worse than those real giants. On the other hand, even if they can buy these superstars, they may not be able to pay for their salary. You should know that Ibramovich enjoys an annual salary of 12 million euros after tax in Inter Milan. Italy imposes a heavy tax on football, and an annual salary of 12 million yuan after tax means that the Inter Milan club will have to pay 24 million euros every year for Ibrahimovic alone...

Even if England does not impose such heavy taxes on the football industry, a figure of 12 million is definitely something Nottingham Forest cannot afford.

So Tang En could only turn his attention to two types of people: one is that he has proved their status in the world football world, but he is currently in poor condition. The other is that he is not very famous, but his strength is still good at being a first-class striker.

The best candidate for the former is actually Adriano, who has been in a frustrated place in Inter Milan.

Donne had seriously considered how likely it is to join the team. First of all, although he and Mourinho are with his opponents, he believes that Mourinho will not make things difficult for Adriano's transfer. Inter Milan also hopes to get rid of Adriano's burden as soon as possible. And they will never allow Adriano to be sold to Italian teams. So foreign teams are the only choice for Brazilians. At the same time, neither Adriano nor his agent will agree to play football back to Brazil, so the English team is actually the best choice.

But the core issue that made Don En hesitate was Adriano himself. This is a player with no problem with technology. He was mentally ill but had big problems. He was late for training and was absent. He lingered in the nightclub until the early morning of the next day. He visited a prostitute and believed that he was not upright in the big brand's attitude, confronted the head coach of the billiard team in person, questioning authority...

None of these problems is something that Tang En doesn't hate.

He has a similar temper with Mourinho. If Mourinho cannot tolerate Adriano, then Don will most likely not tolerate it.

Perhaps he can use various means to make Adriano honest for a season, but Don En knows that Adriano's character will not be so easy to reverse. Once he is proud of himself again, what awaits Don En is endless off-court scandals. Can he change such a self-deprecating genius?

Tang En discussed with Tang several times, and Tang's conclusion was the same - maybe it was possible before his father died, but after his father died, there was no chance.

He also advised Don: "If the club thinks you spent tens of millions of pounds and only allowed him to play a good goal for the team for a season, I don't guarantee what the Chairman will do to you. Adriano is too risky, and we have many ways to avoid this risk. I don't think introducing Adriano is a good deal."

Don En was upset for several days, and after repeatedly studying Adriano's performance and off-court gossip in recent years, he officially announced that he would give up on Adriano this morning.

The Brazilian is an A Dou who cannot be helped, and Tony Tangen is not an omnipotent God. Although he feels sorry for this former genius Sagittarius deep down, the reality is very cruel. He does not need to spend tens of millions to do charity and save a young man who is not close to him or her.

Then the question comes again-
