The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1064
1064 He Was Really Close to Signing It
The Winter transfer window is about to close and Leeds United are not moving at all.
Leeds United fans are not in a hurry because the club is full of talent. And the club is really not short of players, as long as Leeds United do not sell players.
During this time, many clubs have made offers to Leeds United.
However, Zhong Cheng rejected them one by one. Leeds United did not sell any players this winter.
Meanwhile, Alex Ferguson has made a move, with Sir Alex packing up Tosi ć and Rajadzic from Serbia’s Belgrade guerrillas at a total cost of £ 16. 5m.
Among them, 17-year-old Rajadzic is one of Alex Ferguson’s favourite talent, known as the future of the central midfield pillar. However, Rajadzic is not joining Manchester United at the moment. Instead, he stays in Belgrade and waits until the summer before joining Manchester United.
However, Manchester United reportedly did not immediately pay Rajadzic 6.5 million pounds, until Rajadzic officially moved to Manchester United before paying the Belgrade guerrillas.
Alex Ferguson is clearly worried about Rajadzic and will have to wait for half a season before deciding whether to bring in the Serbian youth genius.
However, Zoran Tosic has joined Manchester United immediately and is now with the Reds.
After introducing these players, Alex Ferguson called Zhong Cheng and asked him what he thought of Rajadzic.
Zhong Cheng looked at the young players who had some talent and were valued by Zhong Cheng, and now they were all performing, so Alex Ferguson wanted to ask Zhong Cheng what he thought.
Of course, Alex Ferguson might not believe Zhong Cheng. He just wanted Zhong Cheng to give his opinion. As for what to do, it was up to him, Alex Ferguson.
Alex Ferguson is a man of his own mind, and generally no one can change his mind.
Zhong Cheng said indifferently, “This young man is just like him. He will definitely be able to make a foothold in the five European leagues in the future. However, if he joins your Manchester United team, I feel that he is still a bit lacking.”
Alex Ferguson pondered!
Zhong Cheng’s meaning was obvious. Rajadzic might be good, but he was only an ordinary player in the five European leagues, not as good as Manchester United.
Alex Ferguson pondered for a while and then said, “Thank you, Loria. Next time I’ll treat you to wine in Manchester!”
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “Give me a cup of coffee!”
Alex Ferguson smiled and said, “Why waste your coffee if you don’t drink it? There’s no coffee, only red wine. Love doesn’t come!”
Alex Ferguson and Zhong Cheng chatted for a while before hanging up.
Chelsea’s investment in the transfer market has diminished as Abramovich’s assets have shrunk, with only Portuguese player Quaresma on loan from Inter this winter.
Quaresma’s half-season at Inter has been an indescribable pain. He went to Inter with a huge halo, but his performance was so bad that he didn’t have a bottom line, and soon he didn’t have a chance to play. Chelsea have come to save Quaresma and Inter Milan, even with the worst offer of reinforcements from Inter fans in nearly a decade.
This is Chelsea’s only move this winter!
Of course, Chelsea Football Club may make a bigger move by firing their manager, Scolari.
Scolari’s lead has plummeted, and Chelsea’s performance has been unstable since last October. It was only in the final round of the Champions League group stage that Chelsea managed to beat their opponents and qualify. Chelsea were almost out of the Champions League this season and were knocked out of the Carling Cup by an unknown team. The Premier League is losing and Chelsea’s top management can no longer tolerate Scolari.
More importantly, the conflict between Scolari and some of the players at the club made it seem as if Chelsea’s dressing room could collapse at any moment. Therefore, some of the more radical executives were prepared to replace Scolari.
Of course, this matter is still under discussion. It is not clear whether Chelsea will replace Scolari or not.
Arsenal are not doing much, but they are very big.
Before the winter transfer started, Arsenal were chasing Russian star Andrei Arshavin like crazy!
Andrei Arshavin is a very popular player of late and countless European clubs have been interested in him since last year. There were reportedly Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Red Devils United and Chelsea Football Club.
At that time, Andrei Arshavin’s performance at Euro 2008 was very, very good and everyone present was shocked. He made three appearances and scored two goals. Most importantly, he was the one who eliminated the Dutch team against the super team, the Dutch team.
And last season Andrei Arshavin proved his strength by leading Zenit St Petersburg to the UEFA Cup.
Therefore, there were still quite a few people chasing after him. The only suspicion everyone had towards him was his age. He was already 27 years old. Moreover, he has never played in the five European leagues before. I wonder if this fellow can adapt to the rhythm of the five European leagues.
Therefore, everyone was hesitant to bring him in after the European Championship.
Everyone mainly wanted to slow down, because at that time, Zenit St Petersburg was asking too high a price. They were prepared to stay cold for a period of time, and then talk about it.
And Real Madrid are hesitating over whether they have full faith in Andrei Arshavin.
More importantly, Andrei Arshavin is a Barcelona fan himself and wants to move to Barcelona. But Barcelona don’t like him, so it’s embarrassing for Andrei Arshavin. Zenit of St. Petersburg, who was also asking for a sky-high transfer fee, was also embarrassed!
But, well, Arsenal have made a substantial request for a transfer in the winter, which makes it less embarrassing.
However, Zenit St Petersburg was still asking a very high price.
This made the Arsenal Club very unhappy and they were discouraged. The two clubs failed to reach an agreement on the transfer fee from late November until December, with several interruptions and no progress.
By January, the European winter transfer window was really open. The two teams have entered into more intensive negotiations to settle the matter with Andrei Arshavin, but the difference between the two teams over the transfer fee is really too big.
Recently, January is coming to an end, and the European winter transfer window is about to close. Neither team has yet negotiated, and even at this time, Zenit St Petersburg announced the termination of all negotiations with Arsenal and the collapse of the negotiations.
Yes, this is the confidence officially announced by Zenit St. Petersburg.
It was a disappointment for Arsenal fans, who had been waiting for Andrei Arshavin for a long time. And they think Arsenal now need fresh blood, otherwise they won’t even qualify for the Champions League next season.
The Premier League has been so competitive this season that Arsenal fans are calling for Andrei Arshavin to be captured.
But now that the European winter transfer window is closing Arsenal have no time to negotiate with Zenit St Petersburg. This made the Arsenal fans in a terrible mood.
Now that Arsenal are about to face Leeds United, Arsenal fans are in a bad mood.
Yes, Arsenal are going to play Leeds United at home tonight!
It is now January 31 and soon the European winter transfer window will be closed. Arsenal have yet to open talks with Zenit St Petersburg and it seems Arsenal will not be able to sign Andrei Arshavin this winter.
This made the Arsenal fans very unhappy and angry!
Sure enough, Arsenal are stingy, always like this. Are we going to hear that again: “We almost signed Andre Arshavin!”
That’s the last thing Arsenal fans want to hear because they almost signed Cristiano Ronaldo, almost signed Ibrahimovic, almost signed Kaka …
Some Arsenal fans even gave Ars è ne Wenger the nickname “Wimbledon”.
Arsenal fans are very bitter in their hearts, very depressed!
When will Arsenal be able to be generous and not be so stingy?
However, Arsenal fans did find that Ars è ne Wenger was not so stingy when he brought in players from Leeds United. Think about how much Arsenal spent on Nicolas Bendtner, Abramovich Diaby, Alexander Song and the others!
At that time, Arsenal fans thought Ars è ne Wenger was the most handsome.
At the time, Arsenal fans found it hard to believe that Arsène Wenge had spent so much money to bring in Leeds United players.
Of course, Arsène Wenge was also generous this winter. Because they spent more than £ 20 million on Samir Nasri from Leeds, it’s no wonder Arsène Wenge is so stingy now, because they’ve spent a lot of money this winter.
That is why he is now so concerned about Andrei Arshavin’s transfer fee, which is going to go over the mark again.
However, it could be seen that Arsène Wenge was very optimistic about Andrei Arshavin. He really wanted to bring in Andrei Arshavin.
Now, however, it seems very difficult, almost impossible to bring in Andrei Arshavin. Because the transfer window is about to close, even if they reopen the negotiations, it will be difficult to complete the transaction before the transfer window closes.
Therefore, Arsène Wenge was prepared to push this matter forward until the summer. Let’s talk about Andrei Arshavin at the end of the season.
Now, all of Arsène Wenge’s attention is on the game against Leeds United.
The game is very important for Arsenal, who want to play in the Champions League, and they have to squeeze out one of the top four teams.
