Chapter 085 Winter Transfer(2/2)
Moreover, the Hamburg Club also knows that Manchester City is really in urgent need of introducing De Jong. After all, the entire football world knows that Marklele is injured and absent, and they also know that Manchester City is looking for a replacement for Marklele all over the world.
After thinking about it, Hamburg seemed to have confidence in his heart. Facing this Manchester City, which is not short of money, Hamburg actually had the idea of making a lot of money.
They replied to Manchester City, yes, De Jong can be sold, but the price needs to be negotiated.
Manchester City replied: How much does it cost?
After a total of hamburgers, they gritted their teeth and issued a price: 20 million pounds!
After reporting this price, there was no news from Manchester City!
Now, Hamburger was stunned. They regretted it now and felt that they were too greedy. A player who only needed to buy out for 2 million pounds in half a year would dare to ask for 20 million pounds. This is indeed too greedy.
Sure enough, greed will be retribution. After all, someone is willing to pay for Derong, but this is disturbed by his own greed.
On January 26th, Hamburg Club received no response from Manchester City for the whole day. When he was very upset, he completely gave up.
Hamburg head coach Yoll is even more unhappy with the club's senior management. The club could have taken advantage of this time to deal with De Jong's transfer income, and this transfer income can also help Hamburg have financial support for a player that Yoll has long been interested in.
On January 27, just when Hamburg had already lost its thoughts about this, they received a fax from Manchester City.
Manchester City: 14 million pounds, if possible, that's it. If not, forget it.
Anyway!
Of course it's OK!
Too good!
Hamburg is going crazy. They didn't expect there was still a chance to do this. Moreover, the price tag of Manchester City is so unexpected!
At this time, let alone 14 million, to put it bluntly, even 4 million, the hamburger will nod.
Hamburg responds to Manchester City: Agree!
Can you disagree?!
The Hamburg Club was 'get done', and Manchester City was getting the players faster. In the afternoon of the same day, the player himself found the team's head coach Yole and said that he had agreed to go to Manchester City. Although he was shocked at Manchester City's speed, Yole also knew that it must be Manchester City's offer on the salary that the Dutch could not refuse.
At this time, Yole was even envious of Manchester City head coach Mark Hughes, God, it was so good to have such a boss who is not short of money.
On January 27, 2009, Manchester City Club officially announced that the club had reached an agreement with the Hamburg Club in the Bundesliga on the transfer of Dutch midfielder De Jong. Manchester City paid Hamburg a one-time payment of 14 million pounds. The Dutchman is already a Manchester City player!
As soon as this announcement came out, the entire football world was shocked!
Many people beat their chests and stamped their feet!
It is said that Manchester United godfather Ferguson broke his water cup in anger, pointed to the direction next door and cursed! He scolded Manchester City people for disturbing Manchester United's good things.
While more people saw that Manchester City is not short of money, this transfer made Manchester City boss Mansour a "fool" by European media.
"Manchester City can buy out De Jong's contract for 2 million pounds in June, but they are willing to pay 14 million pounds for 4 months. This is no longer a problem of having money, this is a fool! We have never seen such a fool boss and club!" - The Sun
Obviously, scolding Manchester City has become a trend now. The Sun has always dared to be the pioneer and will naturally not fall behind. After reporting on the process of Manchester City buying De Jong, they also caused people to mock Manchester City's foolish behavior.
It seems that this is not enough to make a joke. The Sun even interviewed Hamburg coach Yoer by phone. Hamburg coach Yoer said: "How can we refuse this price?!"
Well, for a moment, the ridicule of Manchester City and their fool bosses filled the entire English media and even Europe, saying that Manchester's "no shortage of money fools".
The more widely circulated joke is that AC Milan Vice Chairman Galliani, after learning that Manchester City spent 14 million pounds to buy De Jong, regretted not falling and did not seize this opportunity, because he could call Manchester City and recommend the team's super substitute to the old buyer, Brazilian midfielder Emerson. Since De Jong can sell for 14 million pounds, Emerson is worth 18 million pounds...
Manchester City players, including Zhang Yang, welcomed De Jong's joining.
They know very well how timely and important De Jong's joining is to the team, and this is a life-saving signing.
As for the club's spending 14 million pounds, although everyone knows that the price is too high, it is the club that pays the money, not the players that pay. As long as they know that the club has brought signings to the team in time, what should they do?!
Moreover, knowing that the club is so big, the players have a more sense of belonging to the club. Everyone naturally likes such a boss who is not short of money.
In addition to De Jong, Manchester City's other acquisition in the transfer market was that it spent 7 million pounds to buy Irish goalkeeper Jiwen from Newcastle.
The acquisition was also criticized by the media, who believed that Jiwen was worth at most three million pounds.
In addition, there are still some relatively large transfers this winter. The 12 million pound deal from Vigan to Tottenham is also quite eye-catching, because Palacios was once the abandoned son of Arsenal. He went to Arsenal to try out. The professor did not look down on this Honduras player in the end. Unexpectedly, after the Arsenal failed to try out, Palacios could start a more promising British adventure in Birmingham.
In Birmingham, while Vigan worked with his mentor Bruce, Palacios grew rapidly. Bruce believed that the Honduran midfielder was the new Paul Ince, because he strongly recommended Palacios to Redknapp. In addition, The Sun also named Vigan's transfer to Palacios as the "Top Ten Winter Transfers in the Premier League in 2008". This time he joined Tottenham, it was January again, and the media believed that Palacios could completely replicate the miracle.
In addition, England national team striker Defoe transferred from Portsmouth to Tottenham Hotspur, with a net worth of up to 15 million pounds. Defoe's transfer is also one of the three family relationships created by Redknapp, and the other two are Chimbonda and Robbie Keane. On February 1 last year, Defoe came to Portsmouth from Tottenham for 7.5 million pounds. As a result, Defoe relied on his performance in Portsmouth to hold a firm position in Capello's England. One year later, he came back under Redknapp. Although he may not necessarily create great achievements, it should at least be better than in Portsmouth.
Well, there is Robbie Keane. Half a year ago, Keane joined Liverpool from Tottenham for 20.3 million pounds, but now he returns from Liverpool from 15 million pounds. Inside and outside, Liverpool has lost more than 5 million pounds. The Sun has calculated this for this. Keane spent 5,070 pounds per minute in a total of 1,578 minutes of playing time. He scored 7 goals in 28 games, and each goal costs 1.1 million pounds. With such a luxurious performance, can the Irish really rise again when he returns to Tottenham? The media expressed doubts.
There is also a heavyweight transfer, which is that Russian international Arshavin transfers to Arsenal. After nearly a month of disputes, the Tsar finally came to London. If it weren't for Fabregas, Walcott was injured, Rosici had never made a comeback, and Wenger would not have regarded the 27-year-old Arshavin as a savior. In the Premier League, there are very few Eastern European players who have succeeded, and Rebrov, Shevchenko, Vononin and others can all be used as references for Arshavin. Pavlyuchenko's difficulties are enough to make Arshavin prepare.
In other European leagues, after Real Madrid bought Hunteral, he introduced Portsmouth's midfielder Diyala. In fact, when the Portsmouth star's agent received a call invitation to join Real Madrid, he even scolded the caller because he didn't believe that Real Madrid would like him. From Chelsea to Arsenal, and then to Portsmouth, Diyala has become an abandoned child, but was suddenly attracted by Real Madrid. This is definitely the most incredible fairy tale this winter. Moreover, it must be mentioned that Diyala's worth is as high as 20 million pounds.
The Manchester Guardian also wrote an article to sarcastically say that if Manchester City spent 20 million pounds to buy Diarra, there will definitely be people who say that Manchester City is spending money randomly. Now, Real Madrid spent 20 million pounds to buy Diarra, and there will only be people who say that this is a fairy tale.
In addition, Inter Milan midfielder Quaresma also loaned Chelsea from Inter Milan, and it was loaned for free. As soon as the transfer was completed, Italian media claimed that Inter Milan had lost a lot. After all, Quaresma bought it for 24 million euros in real money. British media bluntly stated that Scolari finally got the winger he wanted, and he could no longer rely on Maluda or Joe Cole alone, and he could make Anelka more efficient. However, in Barcelona, Inter Milan failed to succeed, can Quaresma, who has dyed it blue in the Premier League, really turn it into a treasure?
Just when people thought that this was the heavyweight transfer this winter, something happened to Manchester City again.
Manchester City's Bulgarian scorer Bozinov found head coach Mark Hughes to apply for a transfer, and his attitude was extremely firm, saying that even if the transfer window was closed only two days, he had to transfer and leave. He said that he had had enough, unless Mark Hughes could promise his main scorer position, otherwise he had no future at Manchester City and could only leave.
Now, Manchester City was worried again. Bozinov was determined to leave. Manchester City was really in a dilemma. This is not to say that Bozinov is so important, but if this relegationist leaves, Manchester City will be much weaker on the front line, which poses great hidden dangers to the team's journey in the second half of the season.
Mark Hughes reported this to the club's senior management. The club said in a straight sentence and let him go if he wanted to leave. At worst, they could just buy people. Obviously, they were very angry at Bozinov's threat. The Arabs were very angry. A Bulgarian who could not play the game would dare to threaten us? It's a big deal! They don't believe that as long as they dare to spend money, even if the transfer market is only two days left, they can definitely buy a good striker. We are not short of money!
Chapter completed!
