358: Crystal Palace finally finalizes rotation center forward
Take Giroud away?
Yes, Professor Wenger's first reaction after hearing this was not the outrageous offer of 12 million pounds, but that Tong Yi wanted to take Giroud away?
What's going on?
Do you, Crystal Palace, want to move Giroud to play as the main center forward?
Is our Giroud so good?
In Wenger's view, Giroud is good and excellent. But overall, he is still lacking a little. His scoring efficiency is not as high as he imagined, which is also an important reason why Arsenal's results are not too ideal.
Maybe Giroud can be a good striker, but he definitely cannot be the club's leading center.
If you want Giroud to carry you forward and compete for the league championship, this is still not feasible.
If Arsenal wants to rise again and hit the Premier League championship and the UEFA Champions League championship, they need a more stable and efficient shooter. This is what he has been staring at recently, such as Jimenez, Balotelli and Aubameyang.
reason.
It's a pity that Jimenez, Balotelli and Lukaku have all found new homes.
Arsenal's response was a bit slow.
Moreover, it seems that these people are unlikely to rank Arsenal as their first choice.
So, Arsenal don't have many options here.
No, this summer they can only bring Lacazette from Ligue 1!
Lacazette has the opportunity to become a more efficient center who can carry Arsenal's stability in previous years. Otherwise, why would he spend so much money to introduce him?
After introducing him, Lacazette should be able to complement Giroud, one tall and one quick.
Wenger is looking forward to the future at this time.
Tong Yi's phone call came suddenly, saying that he wanted to bring in Giroud. This came out of the blue.
Wenger immediately shook his head and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, Olivier is not for sale to our club."
Tong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Really? If this is the case, I think our Crystal Palace can only talk to Dortmund about bringing in Aubameyang! Aubameyang is younger and better, his scoring efficiency is more amazing, and he is more suitable."
Our Crystal Palace..."
Before Tong Yi finished speaking, Wenger interrupted Tong Yi directly and said, "Do you think Dortmund will sell Aubameyang?"
Yes, before bringing in Lacazette, Wenger contacted Dortmund and expressed his desire to bring in Aubameyang. Aubameyang himself was also interested in joining Arsenal, but Dortmund
The side are a little reluctant to let him go. Even if Aubameyang puts pressure on them, they are not willing to let Aubameyang go.
Therefore, at this time, Wenger gave up and introduced Lacazette.
Otherwise, their Arsenal striker combination in the new season will be Aubameyang and Giroud.
Think about it, this combination is very nice!
Very sharp!
If this striker combination is true, our Arsenal will crush the Premier League and win the Premier League championship. It's a pity that Dortmund is unwilling to sell Aubameyang!
Tong Yi said calmly, "With my influence in Germany and my relationship with Dortmund, they are willing to sell Aubameyang!"
After hearing this, Wenger immediately understood that Tong Yi's goal was not bullshit Aubameyang at all, but was aimed at Giroud.
Upon hearing this, Wenger breathed a sigh of relief instantly.
To be honest, he really values Aubameyang very much. He admires Aubameyang very much. If in Wenger's eyes, Akazette looks like Henry, then Aubameyang
It's Henry!
So between Lacazette and Aubameyang, he will definitely choose Aubameyang!
Even now that he has Lacazette, if there is a chance to get Aubameyang, he is still willing to introduce Aubameyang.
Therefore, he knew Tong Yi's purpose, but he had no reason to be angry.
Because he still wants to bring in Aubameyang!
Wenger pondered for a moment, and then said calmly, "If you can persuade Dortmund to sell Aubameyang... We at Arsenal are willing to sell Lacazette to your Crystal Palace. What do you think?"
To be honest, Wenger is a little unclear as to why Tong Yi doesn't really bring in Aubameyang?
After all, after Jimenez left, Crystal Palace no longer has its main center?
Wouldn't it be good to introduce Aubameyang?
Aubameyang is Crystal Palace’s main center in the new season!
Could it be that Tong Yi already has the main center and just wants to find a rotation center? That's why he chose Giroud instead of Aubameyang. After all, Aubameyang will not play for the same team.
Rotation or substitute!
Wenger nodded slightly, it seems that this is really the case.
But who is Crystal Palace’s main center forward for the new season?
Lukaku, Balotelli, Morata and others all have new homes. There are not many people on the market for Tong Yi to choose from. Did Tong Yi keep Jimenez?
From this perspective, it is very possible!
However, it is obvious that Wenger is still not willing to send Giroud away, but he is willing to send Lacazette out!
First of all, with Aubameyang, Lacazette is not needed much.
Secondly, by sending Lacazette away, they can recover a large amount of funds and then introduce Aubameyang.
In this case, Arsenal will not spend so much transfer fee this summer.
Therefore, in Wenger's view, the best deal is for Arsenal to bring in Aubameyang, and Crystal Palace to bring in Lacazette!
But obviously, Tong Yi disagreed.
Tong Yi said directly, "I'm sorry, Professor! What we want in the Crystal Palace is wheel
If we change to a center, Lacazette is too short and his heading ability is too poor, so he is not our recruitment target! We only want Giroud, if not Giroud, we will bring in Aubameyang!"
Wenger frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He was really reluctant to send Giroud away.
After all, it has already cost nearly 50 million pounds to introduce Lacazette. If Aubameyang is introduced again, it will cost another 700.080 million pounds. This summer, hundreds of millions of pounds will be spent.
hiss!
This is not to say that Arsenal have no money, but they have spent hundreds of millions of pounds in the transfer market for several consecutive years, which is really rare for Arsenal. In fact, many people now have opinions on his signings.
Well, if he spends so much money and gets no results, Wenger may really be dismissed from class.
This is a bit of a gamble!
But, to be honest, he is very, very optimistic about Aubameyang. He sees the shadow of Henry in Aubameyang. He is tall, fast, has shooting skills and headers. He is very comprehensive and efficient in scoring goals.
He is also very amazing, he is simply a perfect center!
With Aubameyang, their Arsenal will definitely produce results.
Heartbeat, this is the feeling of heartbeat.
Wenger is really, really excited!
After pondering for a while, Wenger asked, "Does it have to be Olivier? Can't Lacazette?"
Tong Yi said directly, "No! What we need now is a center like Giroud, not players like Lacazette. We have too many players in Crystal Palace!"
hiss!
Wenger thought about it carefully and realized that what Tong Yi said was really good. There are indeed many players like Lacazette in Crystal Palace. What they are lacking now is really someone like Giroud. It seems that Crystal Palace and Tong Yi are here.
It was carefully considered. It seems that promoting Lacazette will definitely not work.
Do we really want to send Giroud away?
Of course, if sending Giroud away can really get Aubameyang, it is not impossible!
Yes, Aubameyang is still too good.
Compared with Aubameyang, Giroud and others are really not important.
Therefore, Wenger suddenly asked, "Can you really help Arsenal win Aubameyang?"
Hearing this, Tong Yi secretly said "Yes" in his heart, it worked!
Tong Yi immediately said, "Of course, if I can say this, I can do it naturally."
Upon hearing this, Wenger's fists clenched instantly.
Wenger immediately said, "If you can help us get Aubameyang, we at Arsenal will sell Giroud to you. But the price has to be negotiated. Is 12 million too little?"
In Tong Yi's previous life's memory, Chelsea spent 18 million pounds to bring in Giroud half a year later.
so he At this time, a tentative offer of 12 million pounds was made.
It seems that Wenger's reaction is not very intense, which means there is something going on.
Tong Yi immediately started bargaining with Wenger. Although the Crystal Palace did not owe any debts, after all, it was his own business and he could only save as much as he could.
So after repeated bargaining, Crystal Palace officially acquired Arsenal's Olivier Giroud for 15.5 million pounds!
To be honest, Tong Yi is still very happy, after all, he can win Giroud cheaply!
However, this price also has a premise, that is, Tong Yi must ensure that Dortmund sells Aubameyang. If this fails, the transaction can be canceled directly.
Therefore, at present, Tong Yi really has not brought in Giroud 100%.
But it’s almost the same!
At present, Aubameyang and Dortmund are having a bit of a quarrel. Tong Yi directly approached his senior brother Klopp. Klopp once played for Dortmund. The relationship between them
The relationship is still very good. If he goes to help, there should be a chance.
Therefore, Tong Yi and Klopp both went out to persuade Dortmund and Aubameyang.
Of course, the most important thing is to persuade Dortmund to sell Aubameyang at this time.
After much persuasion, Dortmund agreed to sell Aubameyang. However, Crystal Palace wanted to sell Jadon Sancho to Dortmund.
Sancho has indeed performed very well recently. When he was loaned to Nagelsmann, he performed very well at Hoffenheim, which attracted the attention of Dortmund. His performance at Sunderland last season was also very good, scoring
He scored 7 goals and provided 11 assists. At this time, it makes sense that Dortmund would like him.
However, Tong Yi is not willing to sell Sancho.
However, if he has to do it, he can still sell it. At this price, Dortmund may not be able to accept it! Because Tong Yi’s offer is 30 million pounds!
After all, Tong Yi knows Sancho's potential, and Sancho may be worth over 100 million in the future. So at this time, he will not sell Sancho so easily. If he has to sell, it will be less than 30 million
No need to talk about the British pound.
Even for 30 million pounds, he felt that it was a bit of a loss.
After all, in two or three years, Sancho will be worth more than 80 million pounds.
Therefore, 30 million pounds is really a bit small at this time.
Of course, Dortmund expressed liver pain and also expressed that it was not worth it, and they had to give up in the end!
However, they still sold Aubameyang for 75 million pounds as promised!
Arsenal had the money, so they accepted it without even blinking.
At the same time, Crystal Palace also officially introduced French center Olivier Giroud from Arsenal for 15.5 million pounds!
