Chapter 12 The Current Situation of Manchester City

David Silva is a 'national treasure' genius of the Valencia football club in Spain. After a few years, anyone who pays attention to European football will be able to call his name. He is also an absolute player for Valencia and the Spanish national team. main force.

At that time, it was Barcelona's "Dream Team" that dominated Europe.

Pep Guardiola's team almost swept Europe, and the Spanish player structure of that team once again formed the Spanish team, also called the Spanish 'Barcelona' team, which is almost a replica of Barcelona, ​​and is based on the Spanish team. With the same tactical style of play, he jumped to the top of the world's highest stage and won the national team's highest honor - the Hercules Cup.

It is in such a Spanish team that David Silva, as a non-Barcelona player, can have a starting position, one can imagine how amazing it is.

These are Wansheng's impressions of David Silva, who is definitely a core midfielder. Even if such a player is only 19 years old, he is definitely the 'baby' of his team.

What reason does Valencia have to sell such a 'national treasure' to Manchester City! ?

After the introduction of the club staff, Wan Sheng learned about the situation. It turns out that the current David Silva does not have the status of a "national treasure" in Valencia. In fact, his current situation is a bit miserable.

In order to play professional games, David - Silva has been on loan for a season.

Last year, Ranieri left Chelsea and returned to Valencia. He despised Silva, so he agreed to Parma's transfer request, but Parma and Valencia were unable to reach an agreement in the transfer negotiations. Consistent.

The negotiation failed, and David Silva could only stay in Valencia, but Ranieri really didn't like him, so he loaned David Silva to the Eibar club in the Basque Country.

Not trusted by the new coach. If he wanted to play in the professional league, he could only choose David Silva, who was on loan. He could only agree to the invitation of the Elva team. Then he played in the Spanish Serie B for one consecutive season.

David Silva performed well in Eibar and became Eibar's absolute main force. And played almost the entire season of the league. But at Valencia he was still undervalued, in the eyes of others he was only playing in the second division, which is not a big deal, and he was not very good at Elva - used a During the season, he scored as many goals as one hand can count. How good can the performance be! ?

So Valencia is ready to continue to rent David Silva. Young players just need more training, especially those with "little talents". After a few more years of training and experience, they will return to Valencia, and they will perform a lot better.

Just then, Manchester City came.

Manchester City submitted a transfer application to Valencia, and the offer also made Valencia have to carefully consider it, but it was 1.8 million euros. Although it doesn't sound like much, it is compared to a young player who can only rent out in order to play games. The price is definitely not low.

Players like David Silva can be counted in various top league clubs, especially La Liga giants such as Valencia, and Valencia’s heart is moved by Manchester City’s offer.

Last year, Valencia and Parma negotiated the transfer of David Silva. The reason for the failure was that they asked for a buy-back clause. The terms stipulated that within three years, Valencia wanted to buy back David Silva. Come up with three times the current transfer fee.

Parma naturally cannot accept such a 'overlord' transfer clause. They bought Silva and trained him as a talent, but Valencia was able to buy it back directly. This is absolutely unacceptable to any club, let alone, at that time. The transfer fee negotiated by the two sides is only about 1.5 million euros, and the triple price is only 4.5 million euros. If David Silva performs well in Serie A, this value is still easy to achieve.

Valencia are still asking for this clause because they are afraid to sell young talent to other teams, although they don't think David Silva is very talented, but...what if! ?

What if David Silva was a genius?

They sold David Silva. Two years later, David Silva became a world-class star, and his worth has skyrocketed by more than 10 million euros. At that time, there must be fans who will think that their vision is wrong - such a genius Sell ​​it cheap, this is not a problem with vision! ?

The Valencia club has such concerns, so they hope that the young players they sell will have a 'repurchase' clause on them, so that they have room to 'regret'.

Of course, this is difficult for other teams to accept.

Unless the player's transfer value is high enough, the price of the buy-back clause is definitely unacceptable. The same is true for Manchester City. They directly raised the offer to 2 million pounds, which is equivalent to 3 million euros, and then Valencia decided to give up the genius. terms too.

Any clause has a price bottom line. For David Silva, Valencia believes that the bottom line is 1 million euros. Since Manchester City is willing to pay more than 1.2 million euros, they naturally agreed to the transfer. Together, it is 3 million euros. 3 million euros is definitely not a small number. This amount of money is enough to buy a qualified top-level league main force, and they do not need to cultivate young talents.

Obviously, in Valencia's view, no matter how much David Silva grows, he will at most become a qualified La Liga player in a few years, and that's it.

So this transfer, they think it is still worth it.

There is nothing worthwhile for the Manchester City club, because the transfer is the request of the new coach, they only need to do it.

3 million euros to buy a young player, although the price is a bit expensive, but as long as Wansheng is satisfied, it is definitely worth it.

Wansheng is very fortunate that Valencia has not yet seen the genius of David Silva, so he had the opportunity to get this genius, listening to the explanation of the staff, and seeing this future star appear on his player list, He couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

"well done!"

Wan Sheng praised the club's transfer department, and then suppressed his excitement and really threw himself into the intense work.

At this time, the players are still on vacation. The same goes for the team's coaching staff. Even Diamares just made an appearance with him before going on vacation with his wife.

Wan Sheng didn't have to be so busy, he was actually on vacation, but who gave him the transfer power?

Now is the busiest time for transfer work. Having transfer power is not just about buying someone. The club helped to buy it. He didn’t know much about the team, so he didn’t know which players were the most suitable, and Manchester City didn’t have the ability to buy anyone they wanted.

Therefore, the first thing Wansheng did was to take a closer look at the current Manchester City.

Get to know the whole team, get to know each player.

Analyse their performances over the past season, understand their current strength and situation - is ready to move away. Still definitely staying on the team. Whether they have the strength to play as the main force, or can only play as a substitute, etc., which are unknown in the team, who needs to be supplemented, which positions are too many, and need to be cleaned up to a certain extent. These are all things that Wansheng needs to consider. .

Although Wansheng actually has a certain understanding of Manchester City, such as how much transfer funds the club has. Another example is the roster of the entire team, and so on. But these are just the general situation, and he doesn't know much about each player, especially those very ordinary players.

In Manchester, Wan Sheng found a hotel to temporarily live in, and then started working.

There are so many things about him.

The club arranged for the staff to help him find a place to live. He didn't have time to look at it, so he kept looking up various materials, watching various videos, etc., in order to understand the entire Manchester City.

In two days, Wansheng had a specific understanding of Manchester City.

Manchester City's main lineup is indeed a bit miserable. Except for a limited number of core players, other old and young people can't take on heavy responsibilities at all. Even a few core players have their own problems.

For example, Anelka, who fell out with former coach Keegan, is definitely a problem player.

He is not very famous now. Because of his falling out with Keegan, he did not play for two consecutive months last season. Now he is ready to transfer and leave. Almost no one thinks he can stay at the club. The club's transfer department It is also working, and they are ready to sell Anelka. In their opinion, this problem boy is average in strength and has a lot of problems. Naturally, it is a player who needs to be dealt with.

After learning the news, Wansheng hurriedly stopped the transfer work.

You know, that's Anelka. No matter how problematic his personality is, he is still a well-known star. For Manchester City, whose current lineup is "miserable", one more powerful star is definitely of great significance.

In addition, the problem is the team's rising star Wright - Phillips.

Wright-Phillips initially played for Nottingham Forest's youth team before being dropped by Nottingham Forest, who were called up by Manchester City in 1998. Since 1999, Wright Phillips has played for Manchester City's first team and played 153 league games for Manchester City in 6 seasons, scoring 26 goals.

Last season, his performance won the favor of Chelsea, so now Manchester City have to face Chelsea's sterling attack, and Wright Phillips has to face the temptation of a 'big contract'.

Of course, that's good news for the players.

On the other hand, it is also good news for Manchester City. After all, their players are bought at high prices by other teams, which is better than their own players who are not interested, especially for Manchester City, which is not in a good financial situation. .

If there is no problem with the club's funds, Wansheng will definitely not choose to sell Wright-Phillips. Players who can leave their names in the top leagues are quite remarkable. At least their strength can never be poor. Training, as well as the attribute bonus of coaching skills, they will definitely be able to play very well on the field of play.

However, according to Wansheng's understanding, the transfer funds prepared by Manchester City have almost been used, and the investment of more than 10 million pounds has not been recovered. This is a lot of pressure for Manchester City, which is burdened with debt. In fact, club chairman Wald can prepare The transfer fund of more than 10 million pounds is also because the club is preparing to sell Wright Phillips, so that the team can turn around the funds, exchange one player for a summer transfer fund, and add a few powerful players. That's what clubs with debt pressures need to do.

Wansheng naturally understands this, so he knows that he can't keep Wright-Phillips.

But the question is, how can we sell it at a high price?

Chelsea is a piece of fat, everyone has to take a bite if they have a chance, and now Manchester City have this opportunity because Chelsea are desperate to get Wright-Phillips.

As long as he can sell at a high price, he can also get spare transfer funds to buy players to strengthen the team.
