Chapter 382: European black shop Southampton
Just a few days after the winter transfer window opened, Southampton made their first transfer deal, which is likely to be their last deal of the season.

We all know that Southampton's lineup is actually quite complete, and it is almost impossible for them to strengthen their lineup in the winter without special circumstances.What Charlotte's Saints are best at is to make signings and strengthen the lineup according to the changes in the team during the transfer period of the Xia family.

Chelsea and Southampton announced at the same time that the Belgian attacking midfielder De Bruyne of the Blues officially transferred to the Saints. The transfer fee was not disclosed by both parties, but Chelsea will certainly not sell an excellent player to himself cheaply The competitor is right, the media's initial valuation will not be less than 800 million pounds, which is 2000 million euros.

That's right, Southampton is now a direct competitor for the Premier League title and Champions League qualification.

Since De Bruyne did not participate in the team's training camp last summer, and the staffing of the Saints team was just saturated, the most important thing was that De Bruyne was signed up for the Europa League by Mourinho when he was at Chelsea , At the same time, he also came off the bench in the group stage, so even if he was transferred to the Saints, the Belgian was not eligible to represent the Saints when the flames of the European war rekindled in February.

So considering these comprehensive factors, Charlotte intends to rent out De Bruyne and wait until next season's pre-season training to call him back.In the beginning, Charlotte chose Getafe in La Liga, which had a good foundation for cooperation, or Everton in the Premier League.

However, Wolfsburg Wolfsburg of the Bundesliga submitted a loan application to the Belgian. Charlotte considered that it seemed that De Bruyne played in Wolfsburg in history, and finally agreed to the loan application of the Bundesliga powerhouse. De Bruyne Nei went to Germany to report.

In fact, Wolfsburg had a lot of interest in De Bruyne, but he didn't move fast enough, and he didn't compete with the opponent in terms of price, so he could only regretfully pass by the Belgian. However, when they learned that the Saints intend to loan each other out, their action this time is coming soon.

Wolfsburg's offer for De Bruyne is 2000 million euros plus a floating clause of 500 million euros. This offer is still very sincere for a young player.However, they met Charlotte, and Charlotte naturally knew about De Bruyne's future situation, so they paid 500 million pounds in cash without mercy.

For one, you can get 500 million pounds in cash immediately, the other is a down payment of 2000 million euros, and the other is a down payment of [-] euros. You may or may not get it, and even if you get it, you have to wait a season or two. If you choose Chelsea, even if you see the Saints as your competitors, you can only sell them. After all, no matter how rich Abramovich is, he can’t really regard money as dung
What's more, Southampton's 500 million pounds is almost 3000 million euros.

Because they won the Premier League championship last season, this season they can play the Champions League with generous sponsorship fees and appearance fees, and the new Premier League broadcast sharing agreement has come into effect.Therefore, it has led to Southampton's previous poor teams being able to spend a lot of money. Coupled with the benefits from the previous summer transfer market, it can be said that Southampton is now willing to transfer 3000 million euros. It doesn't look so stiff anymore.

Last summer, they sold Lallana for 300 million pounds, Lovren for 800 million pounds, Sturridge for 4000 million pounds, Icardi for 500 million pounds plus a second income. There are 800 million pounds for Carvajal and 500 million pounds for Wanyama and the second share (the total price of all players including additional clauses), so the players they sold in the transfer market in the summer are Reached a terrifying [-] million pounds! !

This amount makes them the club with the most income from selling people in the Premier League this season. No. 2 is Tottenham. They sold more than 8000 million pounds for a single Bell.

Among the signings, Southampton invested 4000 million euros in Higuain, Martial and Alderweireld each invested 700 million euros, Griezmann 800 million euros, and Reina 600 million euros.And Lukaku came on free loan, and Eriksson was signed last season.

So equivalently, last summer, their income from one-in and one-out transactions in the transfer market alone was as high as more than 8000 million pounds. The players they sold were generally in pounds, while the players they bought were almost all euros. The exchange rate difference alone is incredible.

Although Tottenham's total transfer income is not much different from that of Southampton, in terms of net profit, the Saints can beat the opponent by several blocks.After all, the opponent spent almost all of Bell's selling price and used it on signings.But the Saints didn't spend all their transfer funds during the summer.
Many people are lamenting that Charlotte can not only bring the team a championship, but also make the club a lot of money.The Saints have become the Premier League team with the most net income in the transfer market this season. Such a huge income even the famous European black shop Porto is a bit ashamed.

However, according to the contract between Charlotte and the club with a [-]% commission on the net transfer income, Charlotte can be said to be earning a lot of money.Since Southampton's transfer income this season is too large, the commission allocated to Charlotte is also a huge number, which is more than his coaching salary in Southampton.

So even the boss, Katharina, asked about this matter, and cursed Curtis for it.Even though Charlotte is her person. Well, she is her direct descendant.But the price still made her feel very distressed, and she directly scolded Curtis, saying that only a fool would sign such a contract with Charlotte.

Tottenham's general manager Levy once admitted in public that the two worst deals he did were on Charlotte. He sold Danny Rose and Harry Kane to each other.At the same time, after trying it, Curtis once said that the worst deal he had done as a shrewd banker all his life was with Charlotte, especially the hundred-year-old who made him feel ashamed of the banker every time he thought about it. [-]/[-] commission terms.

But these have become the past, and the days have to look forward.Although very dissatisfied with the commission terms of the transfer deal, Katerina is still very satisfied with Charlotte. Their Liebherr family has invested more than 1 million pounds in the Saints one after another.

But since Charlotte took office, judging from the team's bonuses, broadcast share, sponsorship contracts, tickets and income from the transfer market, the Liebherr family has not only recovered all the investment funds, but also made a lot of money. .
Running a club is not what Charlotte is good at, what he is better at is leading the team to play games.They met Manchester United in the semi-finals of the league. In the first round, they beat the Red Devils two to one at home in Southampton.

This made Moyes' situation very difficult. After [-] rounds of the league, the Red Devils and Manchester United only ranked eighth in the standings. This is a very abnormal position.For the Red Devils, how long has it been since the last time they were eighth after halfway through the league?
So even though Moyes is the successor designated by the godfather Ferguson, Red Devils fans have begun to express their dissatisfaction with Moyes.Manchester United has risen in the hands of a Scot and has become one of the greatest giants in the world, but they absolutely don't want to see the Red Devils fall in the hands of another Scot.

The point is that even their rival Liverpool ranks much higher than them, and another rival Arsenal is still ranked second in the league, so the feelings of the Red Devils fans can be imagined.

Last season, the Red Devils in Ferguson's hands could compete with Southampton for the league championship. Although they did not win the championship in the end, Manchester United was also runner-up in the league anyway.But only one season has passed, and the Red Devils have withdrawn from the ranks of championship contenders 1 rounds ahead of schedule.They are 21 points behind No.[-] Southampton, leaving only a theoretical possibility for the championship.

What is theoretical possibility?That's what it means to have almost no such possibility in real life.
Their only hope now is to see if the Red Devils can work hard in the next game and strive to qualify for the Champions League next season.They are only nine points away from Chelsea, which is fourth in the league. Considering that Arsenal have always been accustomed to starting to lose the chain around February, the possibility of them grabbing a Champions League qualification is still very high.

The league ranking is not ideal. Manchester United was eliminated by Swansea in the third round of the FA Cup two days ago. You must know that the Premier League teams do not need to play the first two rounds of the FA Cup. They will directly join By the third round, that is to say, the first FA Cup game played by the Red Devils was also their last game of the season.

Today he lost to the Saints in the League Cup again. Although there is still the second round of the game back to Old Trafford, considering the record between Manchester United and Southampton after Charlotte took office. To be honest, even the Red Devils fans Not feeling too optimistic.

So among all the domestic championships, although it is only early January, the Red Devils can almost announce that they have returned empty-handed this season in China.

Although they won the first place in the group stage of the Champions League, they are not strong in Group A. If they fail to qualify, Moyes can leave immediately.

But their luck in the knockout draw was terrible and they drew Barcelona.

Even Ferguson's Manchester United struggled against Barcelona, ​​having lost to Cosmos in the final before.So when the Red Devils encountered Barcelona in their heyday, it was a bayonet fight, and it was no accident that anyone advanced.

It's just that the benefits of Manchester United now are in the throes of Ferguson's departure, not to mention the heyday, Manchester United is now the darkest period in the past 25 years.The last time their results were so bad dates back to 1989. At that time, Ferguson accepted Manchester United for less than three seasons. The team's performance was not satisfactory, and Ferguson also encountered the biggest crisis of getting out of class.

So in the face of this situation, even the optimistic Red Devils fans don't think they can beat Barcelona in the two rounds of knockout rounds.
With unsatisfactory conditions on all fronts, fans began to call for Moyes to dismiss get out of class.
