Chapter 1082 Gunner Mythical Transfer Crisis
Arsenal has always focused on economic interests in the transfer market, taking into account competitive performance, and rarely pursue star effects. After Kroenke settled in, the team began to put competitive performance first instead of
Emphasizing economic benefits again, after winning the championship for two consecutive years, Asana has become one of the most profitable clubs in the world.Adhering to the principle that the winner does not change much, this season in the transfer market
There was no aggressive recruitment like the last two seasons, but conservative partial adjustments.

After winning the championship for two seasons, Arsenal fans' desire for the championship has been greatly eased. This season, the team has not been asked to make too many changes, nor has the club been asked to sign in.
As long as the club can retain Li Huan, Fabregas, Nasri, Arshavin, Van Persie and other main players, Arsenal fans will be satisfied.

At the beginning of the season, Arsenal had a smooth time in renewing their contracts with players. Kroenke was not short of money. The annual salary of players was slightly higher than that of the previous year.

, Walcott, and Li Huan have all completed their contract extensions. Arshavin and Nasri are negotiating and making good progress. Only Fabregas did not agree to renew his contract.
The head chose to give up joining Barcelona, ​​and this season with Xavi's old age, Barcelona's pursuit is more intense. The reason why Fabregas chose to stay last year was because he was worried about going to Barcelona to sit on the bench.

Now that Harvey's state is declining, he has a greater chance of becoming the main force of Barcelona, ​​and Fabregas's desire to leave is also stronger.

The ups and downs of Fabregas requesting a transfer to Arsenal are not surprised. Last year's transfer turmoil has made them psychologically prepared. Coach Wenger has also made full preparations for Fabregas's departure.

In preparation, the Gunners are manipulating the transfer of Kovacic, known as the new Modric, Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Kovacic is only 17 years old this year and was born in Austria. In 07, he rejected Bayern and
At the invitation of Juventus and other giants, he returned to his motherland and joined the Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb.So far, Kovacic has played 8 times for Zagreb's first team and scored 2 goals.

Helped the team win the Croatian League Championship last season.Such a genius has naturally attracted the attention of many big clubs in Europe, but facing the temptation of Arsenal, Kovacic simply cannot resist
, he soon publicly stated that he would join Arsenal.

Dinamo Zagreb felt that there was something rare to live in, and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Arsenal, and directly offered a transfer price of 2000 million pounds. Although Arsenal were very optimistic about Kovacic's talent, they spent 2000 million pounds.
Ten thousand pounds to buy a future, but Wenger is not willing.Kovacic saw that Arsenal was dissatisfied with the transfer price and wanted to retreat, so he threatened the club to let him go with a strike.Dinamo Zagreb
Worried about losing money and manpower, Kovacic was finally sold to Arsenal for only 200 million pounds.

Bought Kovacic, Arsenal no longer set up obstacles in the transfer of Cesc Fabregas, Barcelona is also eager to get this midfield wizard, and finally Barcelona bought Rangers from Arsenal for £4200 million.

Seven years of Cesc Fabregas once again brought back to Spain.

Originally, Arsenal's big transfer move has basically ended after such a move in and out, and the following is a small move of sewing and mending, but many things that followed made Arsenal fall into a panic.

It was Manchester City who offered a weekly salary of 13 pounds to poach Nasri. Although Nasri's weekly salary of 6 pounds at Arsenal is not low, second only to Li Huan and Cesc Fabregas, but compared with the weekly salary offered by Manchester City
The difference is too much, no matter how many championships Nasri has won at Arsenal, no matter how happy Nasri is at Arsenal, after all, professional players eat their youth, and if they don’t make as much money as possible now, they will retire.
After serving, life is not settled.

Nasri, who was just about to renew his contract with Arsenal, hesitated in front of Manchester City's sky-high weekly salary. In an interview, he answered very vaguely about where he played this season, "It's hard to say in the future, who
I can't really control my own life. Of course, now I am at Arsenal, I am a member of Arsenal, and I will be loyal to Arsenal.But Nasri's agent Migrisio is talking nonsense with his eyes open

, declared: "It's all rumors now, no one has contacted me, I don't think that will happen in the near future, personally, no one has talked to me about this, I will not rule out him joining Manchester United in the future."
City, but now that he's happy at Arsenal, I don't see him leaving London. "

Since it is a rumor, since he will not leave, why stop the ongoing negotiations? Migrisio's lie is really clumsy, but it is also very shameless.

High salary.

In fact, when the contract was renewed before, Arsenal had already raised Nasri's weekly salary from 6 to 7.5 pounds, second only to Li Huan and Fabregas, but compared with the weekly salary given by Manchester City, it must be

Far worse, it is impossible for Arsenal to give Nasri such a high weekly salary, because Nasri is only one of Arsenal's main players, and it is impossible to break the existing salary structure like Li Huan and surpass his teammates
On top of that, Kroenke, after receiving the rewards from Gazidis and Wenger, issued an order to raise Nasri's weekly salary to £[-]. If he is still unwilling to sign, he will negotiate with Manchester City and agree to
Nasri transfer.

It is easy to choose between loyalty and money. Nasri finally chose to transfer. Poaching Nasri can not only weaken Arsenal's strength but also improve his own strength. This is a double boost.

Gao, Manchester City will not be reluctant to spend money on such a good thing, and soon the two sides reached an agreement. Nasri will transfer to Manchester City at a price of 3000 pounds, with a weekly salary of 12.5 pounds.

Originally, Nasri's departure was not a major event, as long as Li Huan was around, Arsenal would not withdraw from the title race, but with a tacit understanding, Chelsea also suddenly made a move to poach Arsenal.
Na's left-back Clichy and left-back Walcott, the Russian upstart Makhachkala waved a check for 1500 million pounds to buy Arshavin.Makhachkala was killed in January by billionaire

Limov acquired, just like Manchester City, they were not short of money, and offered Arshavin a weekly salary of 12 pounds after tax for three years. For the 30-year-old Arshavin, this was irresistible.
Temptation, for Arsenal, they can ignore Chelsea's poaching, but selling a 30-year-old veteran for 1500 million pounds is definitely a big deal. In another year, let alone 1500 million pounds
It is difficult to say that Arshavin can be sold for 1000 million euros, because the state of veterans after the age of 30 has declined very badly.

The development of the transfer situation has been out of Arsenal's control. Now if these people are released, Arsenal's main lineup will almost be hollowed out, but if these people are not released, they must be added.
This will break Arsenal's salary structure.Arsenal are facing a dilemma.

Whether to change the current salary structure or let people go, this is not for Wenger and the club's managers to decide. Only Kroenke can make the final decision. Kroenke is worthy of being a veteran sports

King, he made a decisive decision to adjust the salary structure, change the original limit of the top player's weekly salary of no more than [-] pounds, and give the player a salary increase. After the salary increase, if the player still intends to leave
, then let it go, as long as Li Huan does not leave, Kroenke will not worry about Arsenal's collapse. Having won more than a dozen championships in two consecutive years, Kroenke believes that Arsenal can slow down their progress.However, in order not to make a hasty decision, Wenger suggested to make a decision after the Community Shield Cup. The opponent of the Community Shield Cup is Manchester United. In the insignificant Community Shield, the two sides will never release water. This is the time to test Arsenal. If Arsenal can compete with Manchester United under the leadership of Li Huan, then letting go of players who want to leave will not be a problem. If the impact is too great If he is big, he will firmly stay, or search for a qualified replacement in the transfer market.

In the Community Shield on August 8th, Wenger sent out a lineup with the old and the new. It was rumored that all the transferred players were sitting on the bench. This was understood by the media and fans as Wenger putting pressure on these players.Last season, Arsenal won the league championship with a complete victory record. After halfway through, the old Premier League overlord Manchester United even lost the possibility of winning the championship. This made the Red Devils feel very ashamed. Now every game against Arsenal is regarded as a final by them Fighting, although the Community Shield is not a big honor, but defeating Arsenal is a greater honor than winning the championship trophy.

Without Fabregas, Walcott, Arshavin, and Nasri cannot play, which makes Arsenal's midfield lose their original dominance, and the possession rate is not as good as before. Li Huan also came from right back The left-back position, but after two seasons of running-in, Arsenal's defense is much more stable than before.The strength of the defensive midfielder has not been weakened. Manchester United thought they could easily tear through Arsenal's defense, but they were advanced by Arsenal's counterattack before they broke through Arsenal's defense. Li Huan's breakthrough was still unstoppable. The running-in between Bella, Van Persie and Li Huan became more tacit. In the end, Manchester United, who was determined to revenge, was defeated by Arsenal again. The score of 3:1 made the whole world have to feel the strength of Arsenal. Ferguson also had to sigh after the game. As long as Li Huan is around, Arsenal is invincible.

This Community Shield also made Wenger and Kroenke firm in the transfer policy formulated before the game. In the end, Arshavin and Clichy chose to transfer, and Walcott chose to stay at Arsenal. In the gap left by Chauvin, Lille striker Gervinho was introduced. So far, Arsenal's summer transfer has gradually come to an end.
