Chapter 808: Price Hike


"Master Huan, please stay."

When Yang Huan finished the Premier League Chairman's Summit in a formal manner, accompanied by Hamad, Mubarak and others, he had just walked out of the conference room when he was stopped by the people chasing behind him.

Yang Huan turned around and blurted out, "Hey, San Dezi" after seeing who it was.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized the problem.

Yaya Gope, why do you call someone three virtues in front of them?

It's so outrageous Fortunately, Ed Woodward didn't understand what it meant.

Instead, he asked funnyly: "What is Santoku?"

He seemed to be very interested in finding out.

Yang Huan felt a little guilty, but he still nodded with a serious look on his face: "Well, San Dezi, this is the nickname given to you by the Manchester United fans in our motherland, just like Kaka and Ronaldo are nicknames.

It's purely nice. ” "Oh, Sandoko, well, it's really simple and nice to hear."

Who knows, Yang Huan almost burst out laughing in her heart, is it true?

If domestic fans knew this, one or two of them would probably die laughing.

"By the way, Ed, do you have anything to do with me?"

Yang Huan quickly changed the subject.

"It's something."

After finishing speaking, Woodward also secretly glanced at Hamad, Mubarak and others.

Yang Huan didn't understand it and immediately winked at them, "You guys go downstairs and wait for me."

Hamad, Mubarak and others looked at Woodward curiously, but still walked away obediently.

Only Long Wu was left, but he also walked away slightly.

"Master Huan, please come this way."

Yang Huan nodded and followed him to the window at the end of the corridor outside the conference room.

Because they came out of the conference room and went directly to the elevator without passing through the window, so they were not afraid of being overheard or disturbed when they talked here.

"What's going on?"

Yang Huan wondered if this guy was too careful.

Woodward smiled slightly and said, "Master Huan, I heard that Southampton intends to sell James Rodriguez."

"Who said that?"

Yang Huan's face darkened and his brows furrowed.

Woodward had been staring at Master Huan, and when he looked at his expression, he felt a little puzzled.

Was his information wrong?

Or was it just the players outside who wanted to bring in James Rodriguez?

The team broke the news themselves "I just saw it in the newspaper, so I asked."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huan immediately shook his head decisively, "No problem, we are not short of money at all, there is no need to sell James Rodriguez, and with his age, strength and potential, How could it be sold so easily?”

"I know" Woodward smiled and nodded.

"But, Master Huan, as far as I know, Southampton's midfield is currently a bit overcrowded."

This is actually true.

Although Southampton has lost Modric in their midfield this season, they have introduced Cesc Fabregas.

And there is also a major signing that Yang Huan and Bielsa are looking forward to, making the team's midfield full of talents.

Toni Kroos, Matic, Pogba, James Rodriguez, Oscar, Kaká, Kovacic, Cesc Fabregas, as well as youth training youngster Prowse who will be promoted to the first team this season .

If you include the player Yang Huan advocated for, there are a total of ten players in the midfield, but they have to compete for three or four positions.

Even if many players are versatile, even if the team has to fight on multiple lines, But it’s still too much.

Under such circumstances, there is nothing wrong with selling James Rodriguez, who has shined in the World Cup.

"Ed, just get to the point."

Yang Huan smiled slightly and simply stopped talking to him.

Woodward also felt that it would be better if he didn't be verbose or careless.

"I believe Master Huan also knows, and I'm not afraid to tell the truth that our summer transfer this season has been very poorly run.

First, the head coach is still pending, and then several players that the team is interested in staying on the team have been dismissed.

What others robbed was also robbed, so” The Manchester United coach was originally interested in Van Gaal, but who knew that Van Gaal went to Tottenham Hotspur.

Then it was Klopp, but Klopp went to Inter Milan.

After that, the Red Devils vigorously poached Simeone, but Simeone was ambitious and wanted to make a career at Atletico Madrid.

How could he be willing to take over the mess of Manchester United?

Finally, until now, there is still no answer to who the new coach of Manchester United is.

If that's all, then that's it.

What's even more worrying is the team's signings.

Since February of last season, Manchester United has drawn up a detailed recruitment plan and has also been manipulating some important players on the list.

Unexpectedly, they have failed one after another.

First up is Bayern Munich midfielder Schweinsteiger.

But after Manchester United contacted Bayern Munich, Rummenigge told him that Bastian Schweinsteiger would switch to Louis van Gaal and go to Tottenham Hotspur.

Next is Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas, but before contacting Barcelona, ​​Manchester United received news that Cesc Fabregas will switch to Southampton, and another player Manchester United is interested in, Pedro, will transfer to Atletico Madrid. .

Forget about the setbacks in the midfield and frontcourt signings, the defense also encountered problems with the signings.

Atletico Madrid's Miranda and Felipe went to Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United's first choice for central defender signings, Hummels, announced that he would stay in Dortmund and rejected Manchester United's invitation.

When the team once again targeted Atletico Madrid and wanted to introduce Otamendi, the already wealthy Sheets directly rejected Manchester United's request and retained Otamendi.

As a result, Manchester United's entire defense recruitment has reached a deadlock.

Not only the board of directors and management are dissatisfied, but even the fans are very dissatisfied.

Some fans even nicknamed Manchester United "Price-raising United" It’s really unbearable for my uncle and my aunt.

Now Manchester United's target is Arsenal's Vermaelen, but the Gunners prefer Vermaelen to go to Barcelona.

The other goal is Inter Milan's Ranocchia.

The Nerazzurri didn't mind negotiating with Manchester United, but the price offered was a bit high.

Now Manchester United has just signed a sky-high contract with Adidas and has a transfer budget of 150 million pounds in hand, but it turns out that not even a single player can be acquired.

It can only be said that nowadays, the competition among Europe's top players for first-line stars has completely heated up.

Manchester United's current midfield and frontcourt also need to be strengthened.

They have two targets, one is Southampton's James Rodriguez, and the other is Real Madrid's Angel Di Maria.

The former is the first choice because he has proven his strength at Southampton and is more adaptable to the rhythm of the Premier League.

Therefore, San Dezi, oh, no, it was Ed Woodward, had to come and talk to Master Huan personally this time, in order to win James Rodriguez.

"Master Huan, we hope to introduce James Rodriguez.

For this, we are willing to pay a transfer fee of 60 million pounds."

Woodward asked himself, showing a high level of sincerity.

Sixty million pounds, which is already a sky-high price for James Rodriguez.

But who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huan started laughing.

"Ed, do you know?"

Yang Huan looked at Woodward funny.

He felt that he needed to remind some Manchester United CEOs of the current situation in the transfer market, "Just yesterday, Paris Saint-Germain also We offered a transfer fee of 80 million euros for James Rodriguez, but we rejected it.”

"Eighty million euros" Woodward was dumbfounded.

According to the current exchange rate, 60 million pounds is about 72 million euros.

Unexpectedly, the Paris Saint-Germain tycoon directly offered 80 million euros and was rejected.

This immediately made his heart sink to the bottom, because he knew very well that even if Manchester United offered the same price as Paris Saint-Germain, Southampton would not be able to sell it to Manchester United.

The reason is simple.

It is always more difficult to poach between strong teams in the same league.

For the same price, Southampton would rather see James Rodriguez go to other leagues than stay in the Premier League.

The transfer market is crazy right now Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​this group of rich teams are more ruthless than the last when robbing people.

How can an honest person survive?

But Woodward immediately realized a problem.

"Master Huan, please give me a little more time.

I will go back and talk to the board of directors right away.

We are very sincere in bringing in James Rodriguez, really."

Obviously, the authority granted to him by the Manchester United board of directors has almost reached its maximum.

If he wanted to quote a higher price, he would have to go back and ask for instructions.

Yang Huan nodded, "Okay, but you should know that I can't make any promises to you."

Woodward understands that the transfer market is unpredictable and who knows what will happen next.

Especially those rich people who spend money without blinking an eye.

If the other party directly quoted an astonishing sky-high price, how could Southampton refuse?

"Okay, there's nothing wrong.

I'll leave first.

You can think about it later."

After speaking, Yang Huan nodded towards Woodward and left.

He still had important things to discuss with Mubarak and Hamad.

Woodward stood there, watching Master Huan leave, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He has been in the management of Manchester United for many years and knows that in the past few years, Manchester United's signings have always been cost-effective.

But the problem is that in European football these days, you get what you pay for.

In the Ferguson era, Manchester United always stayed on the sidelines.

The frontcourt offense, especially the offense on the two wings, was weak for a long time.

After sending away Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson has not introduced strong wingers.

This is even more true in the midfield.

The whole world knows that the worst thing about Manchester United is the midfield.

If it weren't for Carrick, Manchester United's midfield would have been finished.

But Ferguson has the ability, relying on his superhuman coaching experience and Manchester United's excellent off-the-ball running system to keep Manchester United's performance from declining.

But things are different now.

With Ferguson gone and Moyes coming and going, Manchester United is no longer as brave as it once was.

Nani, Ashley Young, Valencia and other players who could barely be used during the Ferguson era can no longer be used.

Rooney and Robin van Persie are already old, and the backbones of the defense such as Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra are already aging.

The entire Manchester United lineup has simply become a mess, with loopholes everywhere.

Last season, the team's performance plummeted, they lost their Champions League qualification, their Premier League ranking was poor, the team's income was greatly affected, and the stock price fell again and again.

If it weren't for the sponsorship of Adidas, it would have been finished by now.

For this reason, Woodward is also under considerable pressure.

He must do everything possible to boost the team's stock price.

But to boost the team's stock price, we must increase the confidence of investors, and to increase the team's income, we must show results.

If you want results, you have to be willing to invest Now, the worst question is no longer whether Manchester United wants to make retaliatory signings.

But even if Manchester United wants to retaliate, they can't attract players.

This is the fatal problem.

Therefore, James Rodriguez must win no matter what:
