Chapter 809: Bidding

"Master Huan, please stop!"

When Yang Huan finished the Premier League chairman 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 someone who was chasing after him.

Yang Huan turned his head, saw who was coming, and blurted out, "Hey, San Dezi!"

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

Yayagope, why do you call him San Dezi in front of others?

It's outrageous!

Fortunately, Ed Woodward didn't understand what it meant, but asked amusedly: "What is San Dezi?" It seemed that he was very interested in finding out.

Yang Huan was a bit guilty, but still nodded seriously: "Well, San Dezi, this is the nickname given to you by Manchester United fans in our motherland, just like Kaka and Ronaldo are nicknames, it's purely nice .”

"Oh, San Dezi, um, it's really simple and nice!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Huan almost burst out laughing, is there any reason?

If domestic fans know about this, one or two of them will die of laughter.

"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 still didn't understand, and immediately winked at them, "You go downstairs and wait for me first."

Hamad, Mubarak and the others looked at Woodward curiously, but they left obediently.

Only Long Wu was left, but he walked away a little bit.

"Master Huan, this way please!"

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

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

"What's the matter?" Yang Huan thought, is this guy overly careful?

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

"Who said that?" Yang Huan's face darkened, and his brows frowned.

Woodward has been staring at Master Huan all the time, and when he saw his expression, he felt a little puzzled in his heart. Could it be that his information was wrong? Or is it purely just the rumors of the teams outside who want to introduce James Rodriguez?

"I just saw it in the newspaper, so I asked."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huan immediately shook his head decisively, "Nothing, 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 easily sold?"

"I know!" Woodward nodded with a smile.

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

This is also true.

Although Southampton left a Modric in the midfield this season, they introduced Fabregas.

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

Toni Kroos, Matic, Pogba, James Rodriguez, Oscar, Kaka, Kovacic, Cesc Fabregas and the youngster who will be promoted to the first team this season Rolls.

If you include the player that Yang Huan insisted on bringing in, 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 fronts, But there are still too many.

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

"Ed,

Just get straight to the point! "Yang Huan smiled slightly, and simply stopped talking to him.

Woodward also felt that it would be better not to be verbose or sloppy.

"I believe that Master Huan should also know, and I'm not afraid to say frankly that our summer transfer this season has been very bad. First, the head coach is still pending, and then several players that the team has taken a fancy to, and those who stayed in the team, were rejected. What was robbed by others was also robbed by others, so..."

The coach of Manchester United originally looked at Van Gaal, but who knows, 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 in Atletico Madrid. How could he be willing to take over the mess of Manchester United?

In the end, as of now, there is still no answer to who Manchester United's new coach is.

If it's just that, then that's all. What's more worrying is the team's signings.

Since February last season, Manchester United has drawn up a detailed signing plan, and is also operating some important players on the list, but unexpectedly, they have failed successively.

First there was Bayern Munich's midfielder, Bastian Schweinsteiger.

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

Then there is Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona, ​​but before he got in touch with Barcelona, ​​Manchester United received the news that Fabregas will switch to Southampton, and another player Pedro, who Manchester United is looking at, will transfer to Atletico Madrid .

The signings of the midfield and frontcourt were frustrated, so forget it, and the signings of the defense also encountered problems.

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

And when the team aimed at Atletico Madrid again and wanted to introduce Otamendi, the Sheets Corps, which had become rich and powerful, directly rejected Manchester United's request and kept Otamendi.

As a result, Manchester United's entire defense signings have reached a deadlock.

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

There are even some fans who have given Manchester United the nickname... Price Raising United!

It's really unbearable!

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

Another goal is Inter Milan's Ranocchia.

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

The current Manchester United has just signed a sky-high contract with Adidas, with a transfer budget of 150 million pounds in their hands, but it turned out that they couldn't get a single player.

It can only be said that nowadays, the competition between European powerhouses for first-line stars has completely heated up.

Manchester United's current midfield also needs to be strengthened. There are two goals, one is Southampton's James Rodriguez, and the other is Real Madrid's Di Maria.

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

So, San Dezi, oh, no, it was Ed Woodward who had to come and talk to Master Huan in person this time, so that he must 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, already showing quite high sincerity.

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

But who would have known that Yang Huan immediately laughed as soon as he finished speaking.

"Ed, do you know?" Yang Huan looked at Woodward amusedly. He felt that he had to remind some Manchester United CEOs about the current market situation in the transfer market. "Just yesterday, Paris Saint-Germain We also offered a transfer fee of 80 million euros to 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 local tycoon of Paris Saint-Germain directly offered 80 million euros and was rejected?

This immediately made him fall into the bottom of his heart, because he knew very well that even if Manchester United offered the same price as Paris Saint-Germain, it would be impossible for Southampton to sell to Manchester United.

The reason is simple, in the same league, it is always more difficult to poach corners between strong teams.

For the same price, Southampton would much rather see James Rodriguez go elsewhere than stay in the Premier League.

The current transfer market is crazy!

Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​this group of local tyrants, when they rob each other, they are more brutal than the other. How can honest people live?

But Woodward immediately recognized a problem.

"Master Huan, please give me some more time. I will go back and talk to the board of directors immediately. We are very sincere in introducing James Rodriguez, really!"

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

If he wants to quote a higher price again, he has to go back and ask for instructions.

Yang Huan nodded, "Okay, but you should know that I can't promise you anything."

Woodward understands that the transfer market is unpredictable, who knows what will happen in the next moment?

Especially those local tyrants who burn money without blinking their eyes.

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

"Okay, it's nothing, I'm leaving first, you think about it!"

After speaking, Yang Huan nodded towards Woodward and left.

He has important matters to discuss with Mubarak and Hamad.

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

He has been in Manchester United's management for many years, and he also 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 era of Ferguson, Manchester United always waited and watched. The offense in the frontcourt, especially the offense on the two wings, has been weak for a long time. After sending away Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson has not introduced a strong winger. .

Even more so in 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-ball running system, he insisted on keeping Manchester United's performance from declining.

But the situation is different now. Once Ferguson left and Moyes came and went, Manchester United has long since lost its former courage.

Nani, Ashley Young, Valencia and other players who could barely use Ferguson, can no longer be used now.

Wayne Rooney and Van Persie are already very old, Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Evra and other defensive backbones are already very old. The entire Manchester United lineup has become a mess with loopholes everywhere.

Last season, the team's performance plummeted, they lost their qualification for the Champions League, their ranking in the Premier League was poor, the team's income was greatly affected, and the stock price also fell again and again. If it was not supported by the sponsorship of Adidas, it would have been over by now.

For this reason, the pressure on Woodward is also considerable. He must do everything possible to boost the team's stock price again.

But to boost the team's stock price, it is necessary to increase the confidence of shareholders, and to increase the team's income, it is necessary to produce results.

If you want to achieve results, you have to be willing to invest!

Now, the worst question is not whether Manchester United should retaliate signings.

But even if Manchester United wants to retaliate, they will not be able to attract players. This is the fatal problem!

Therefore, this James Rodriguez must be won no matter what!
