Chapter five hundred and seventieth digging the old master
Abasolo told all shareholders at the regular meeting that Dick wanted to sign Torres. He originally thought it was just a joke. However, what surprised him was that neither Cerezo nor Hill had any attitude.
Seems rather ambiguous...
"Twenty million pounds or more... is a big supplement to our finances." Cerezo replied that he had no opinion on who to sell to, the key is how much it can be sold for--he has had a few recently.
He needs to invest in a movie, so money is a bit tight. If Torres is sold, there will basically be no need for shareholders to invest this summer, which is not without its disadvantages.
"We now have Aguero, and Torres is no longer irreplaceable..." Hill said this. In fact, he didn't like Torres either, because this kid always said in interviews after Dick left.
Expressing his nostalgia for Dick, he could not shake his position before, but now with Aguero, Atletico Madrid fans have begun to like this Argentine kid. Torres is not irreplaceable, and if you want to find a shooter
, it’s not that difficult.
"Do you... think you can sell Torres?" Abasolo asked in surprise.
"From a business perspective, it's worth doing," Cerezo said with a shrug.
"If we spend 25 million pounds, half of it can bring in a top-notch shooter like Torres, and the rest of the money can be used to replenish the lineup." Hill said this. He doesn't want to invest money now, and
Torres... can be regarded as Dick's last direct descendant. Now in Atletico Madrid's lineup, which was the main force in Dick's era, apart from Torres, there is only one Beleron. Baraja was also sold by him last year. Beleron is a
An honest man, he has no influence in the locker room and doesn't get involved in other things. Hill Jr. doesn't mind him staying, but Torres, as the flag of Atletico Madrid, respects Dick more. This is something Hill Jr. doesn't want to see.
It just so happens that Atletico Madrid seems to have left Torres now, so there is no problem. Just sell it...
The attitude of these two people was such that Abasolo was speechless. He thought selling Torres was a joke. However, Dick seemed very confident, and the two people with the worst relationship with Dick agreed to sell to
Dick, this makes Abasolo feel that this world is really incomprehensible to him...
When Abasolo was confused, Torres submitted a transfer application to the club. His reason was "I don't want to stay at Atletico Madrid until the club makes changes."
This reason was naturally not made public, but in Xiao Hill's eyes, it made him feel as sick as a fly, and even more decided to sell Torres.
Since you want to go to Dick so much, then get out of here. Then you can do whatever you want and don't make me annoying anymore.
If when Dick left, Little Hill was still a little worried about this guy's comeback, then five years later, Little Hill is no longer worried about what threat Dick will pose to him, even if he is more successful in the European arena.
...What does it have to do with me? I am still the largest shareholder of Atletico Madrid!
When the three people met again, another news came - French national team midfielder Ribery joined Manchester City for a transfer fee of 20 million pounds.
"It seems that this guy has really found a big sponsor. Although the money spent is not that outrageous, the worth of these people is still higher than the market value." Cerezo sighed and said.
"In this case, we may be able to ask for a higher price for Torres. Twenty million pounds is not enough." Xiao Hill said with a sly smile. In his opinion, it would be okay to let Dick spend more money. If his luck is now
Sorry, he spent so much money even though he didn't get good grades, so isn't his reputation ruined?
After discussion, the three shareholders decided to give Dick a deal. Because Corradi's performance in La Liga was mediocre, they said they did not want Corradi. Mponsa could consider it, but the transfer fee was too small and they did not agree.
Dick laughed when he received the news - for the transfer of a player of Torres's caliber, you are not afraid of asking a high price, but you are afraid that you are unwilling to negotiate. As long as you are willing to negotiate, then there will be no problem.
"Twenty-three million pounds plus Mponsa." Dick happily offered the second price.
Atletico Madrid said it was still not enough.
"Twenty-five million pounds plus Mponsa." Dick's price increases became smaller and smaller every time. Although he had money on hand, he had no intention of throwing money around.
"It should be almost enough." After discussion, Xiao Hill and others felt that it was almost enough. After all, although Torres has performed well in recent years, due to the decline in Atletico Madrid's overall performance, his worth is actually not particularly high.
Fifteen million pounds is equivalent to about 38 million euros. Such a net worth is already quite top-notch. Add in the Belgian national team forward Mponsa, and the total is almost 40 million euros——
This is almost Atletico Madrid’s largest income from selling people...
In this way, without the knowledge of Atletico Madrid fans, Atletico Madrid agreed to Manchester City's offer for Torres, and the subsequent contract negotiations went smoothly, with the same annual salary of 5 million euros and a four-year contract.
When Atletico Madrid and Manchester City announced the transfer at the same time, Atletico Madrid fans were shocked. They originally did not expect Torres to leave Atletico Madrid. However, when they learned that Torres was going to join Dick, they began to feel that Torres was leaving Atletico Madrid.
, this does not seem to be an unacceptable result...
To be honest, Dick was really kind to Atletico Madrid. After leaving Atletico Madrid, he did not recruit any players from Atletico Madrid. Of course, it had a lot to do with Dortmund's poor financial resources. However, after coaching Inter Milan
, and did not poach any players from Atletico Madrid. Cruz joined Inter Milan before he coached Inter Milan. Of course, this cannot be counted, so Atletico Madrid fans have been thinking about Dick, and this time Torres
Going to Dick made them feel that Torres's choice was not wrong. After all, after the six-goal defeat to Barcelona last season, Torres was very annoyed and had already expressed the idea of leaving Atletico Madrid. Instead of going to other clubs
Team, it is better to go to Dick, they will feel better.
Leighton Barnes 7 million, Parker 7 million, Ashley Young 10 million, Vidal 5 million, Ribery 20 million, Torres 25 million, in just ten days
, Manchester City signed six players and spent 74 million pounds, but this was not the reason for Dick to stop.
Before leaving Madrid, Dick took action again. He first bought Argentine defender Samuel from Real Madrid for a high price of 16 million pounds. Samuel's performance in Real Madrid was ups and downs, but because of Dick's
Grams went to Inter Milan and did not introduce him, so he has stayed at Real Madrid. Now he has two years left on his contract. After Manchester City offered such a high price, Real Madrid relaxed. After all, such a deal
It's also a good deal.
Immediately afterwards, Dick signed former Leeds left-back Ian Hart from Levante, whose contract had expired. Although the former king of Irish set-pieces is in a severe decline, if he returns to his habits
In the Premier League, it would be okay for him to be a substitute. The purpose of introducing such a player is to strengthen the thickness of the bench.
Dick is still very satisfied with this trip to Spain. There is no doubt about Samuel’s strength. He is one of the best central defenders in the world. Manchester City is currently short of central defenders. Even if Samuel needs time to adapt to the Premier League
His style can also become the anchor of Manchester City's defense.
The arrival of Torres can make Manchester City's striker immediately stronger. With Ribery's support from the wing and Torres' midfield grabbing, this lineup is already very good. Of course, it needs to continue.
In addition, after all, the personnel gap of more than a dozen people is not easy to make up. Now he still has 110 million pounds on hand, which is enough for him to buy some outstanding players in the transfer market.
For the major clubs in Europe this season, the combination of Dick's reputation, vision and Manchester City's financial resources is indeed a very troublesome combination. For example, Bayern has already suffered their losses. In fact, at that time
Bayern also had to give in because they were worried about one thing, that is, Dick would have trouble with them in the battle for Tony - Tony was promoted by Dick. If Dick competed with them for Tony, Bayern would probably lose it.
There is no other way.
Dick has not thought about competing with Bayern for Tony. After all, he already has Torres. If he wants another Tony, there will be some overlap in positions. It is not a waste of money, but a waste of signing quotas. The signings this season are quite large.
The most important thing is to at least build up this big stall, otherwise why would they want to compete in the league? Even if Manchester City does not have the task of European competition this season, they must at least have an excellent main lineup. The English League has always been known for its numerous games.
It is famous that if the thickness of the bench is not good, it will not be able to support it.
Therefore, the eight players purchased so far can only fill part of the framework, and in terms of specific details, there are still many areas that need to be filled in.
At least, he still lacks a pure shooter, a top midfielder, and a central defender who can partner with Samuel. This central defender should preferably be physically strong and have strong head-on confrontation ability-this is just the main lineup.
Yes, the substitute lineup still needs some reinforcement and introduction.
Thinking of this, Dick also sighed. He has never completely demolished a team and started over like this. When he was at Atletico Madrid, he only bought two or three players every year. When he was at Dortmund, he also used the original
His team built a lineup for the foundation. In Inter Milan, although he sold many players and introduced many players as soon as he left, Inter Milan itself has many outstanding players, such as Toldo and Cannavaro.
, Cordoba, Materazzi, Zanetti, Stankovic and others were his main players later, and he did not need major surgery at the beginning.
Only this time in Manchester City, facing a team that was in danger of relegation last season, with a transfer fee of 200 million pounds in his hand, Dick finally got rid of his FM addiction and sold off a large number of players.
, and then go out and defeat a strong team. What to do next depends on Dick’s ability.
And now, poaching is still going on. After poaching the old owner Atletico Madrid, it is now time to go to Italy to poach the old owner Inter Milan. Anyway, Inter Milan is also selling some players to reduce the pressure on salary...
