Chapter 211 Transfer Market
Everything is a double-edged sword, and so is the Champions League!

While the champions of the Champions League brought countless honors and money to the team, they also exposed the players to the eyes of the major "golden masters"...

Mourinho's handsome position is in jeopardy, can Abramovich's checkbook become his life-saving straw?How can Manchester United sit back and watch such a long championship drought without a championship for five years?Real Madrid can't stand the pressure of Barcelona, ​​​​trying to find a player to compete with Ronaldinho...

The transfer market is full of blood!
According to Arsenal's business philosophy, before buying, the first thing to do is to sell.Although the team has a small number of forwards, Ariadiere, who has been habitually forgotten, finally chose to leave after being "championed by the Champions League" twice. He bought Middlesbrough with £200 million.

The defender Julu, who has a thin sense of existence, joined Birmingham, while Arsenal's de-aging is intensifying. After Lauren left, Ljungberg became the second player to leave the team. He went to the club for 200 million pounds. Southampton.

So far, only Henry, Gilberto and Toure are the main players of Arsenal's undefeated championship in the 2004-2005 season.Among the players over 30 years old in the team, only Henry and Gilberto were left in a blink of an eye.

In terms of transfers, Barcelona showed a very positive desire for Henry. They offered the gun king, who is about to turn 30, a contract of more than 3 years, and the salary is second only to Ronaldinho. .

While staying at Arsenal, although Henry's contract will expire in two years after his contract is renewed, he will definitely face Arsenal's salary cut and one-year signing treatment by then.

Will the proud gun king accept the same treatment as sending a beggar like this?
After five months of surgery and recovery, Henry stood in front of everyone and answered the question with a smile: "No, I will not leave Arsenal, Arsenal gave me everything and now he will reap my loyalty! Because, I have Arsenal blood in my blood!"

In fact, it has not been easy for Henry recently. He broke up with his ex-wife.However, under such circumstances, the gun king resolutely chose not to leave, and he still sticks to his beliefs here!
Barcelona is still not reconciled, they use a better salary to lure Henry, and even Ronaldinho and Eto'o have stood up, expressing their hope of becoming teammates with Henry and their admiration for Henry.

However, Henry posted a picture on Twitter that night: a rapier stuck next to Arsenal's red and white uniform. This expression couldn't be more clear: I will never leave Arsenal if I die!
That night, the number of fans who commented on this tweet exceeded [-], and several Arsenal players who opened Twitter reposted this photo one after another.

Except Fabregas.

Fabregas has never concealed his gratitude to Wenger for his kindness, but at the same time he has not denied his desire to return to Barcelona.When he came to Arsenal, his original intention was to get training opportunities at Arsenal and then return to Barcelona.

His family, everything he knew, was in Barcelona.But Arsenal not only has a head coach who likes him, but also a team he likes, a style of play he likes, and more importantly, he can win championships here!If let him leave, he also has a lot of nostalgia.

The transfer rumors outside were raging, but he didn't respond, neither agreed nor refused.

Compared with the attitude of the two players, Wenger's attitude is the opposite of theirs.Regarding Henry's oath of allegiance, Wenger didn't respond much; regarding Fabregas' silence, he stood up and said that Fabregas is the core of his future team building, and he will not sell Fabregas s.

Barcelona wants to buy people, and Real Madrid also wants to buy people. Last season's fruitless season stimulated the ambitions of Real Madrid's top management.Although Florentino has stepped down, Real Madrid intends to spend a lot of euros in the transfer market.They took a fancy to the twin stars of Reyes and Torres.

They are not only members of the Spanish national team, but also the hottest players in today's football. In Real Madrid's view, it is very appropriate to buy these two players back to the Bernabeu.

But Reyes and Torres' situation is different.Torres' performance at Arsenal can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and Torres came from Real Madrid's rival Atletico Madrid. It is obviously very difficult for Torres to join his rival in the same city.

Reyes is different. Arsenal is a team with a small investment. Now the team has Henry, Gilberto, Torres, and Reyes. Wenger wants to keep Cesc Fabregas , then a salary increase is necessary.

More importantly, after the team won the Champions League twice, the value of the players has soared. Naturally, they will not be satisfied with such a low salary. In fact, just after the season ended, Wenger received proposals from the agents of four or five players. Ask for a raise.

So how can Reyes be kept?Over there, Real Madrid has already announced that as long as Reyes goes, his annual salary will at least double!
Wenger has no doubts about his personal charm, but he never doubts the attractiveness of the euro.So at this time, a salary increase is very necessary.However, this process is obviously painful. In order to alleviate this pain, Wenger decided to tighten his money this summer and minimize his expenditure on transfers.

After the start of the new season, Wenger did two things. The first thing was to announce his contract extension with the team.There is only one season left on his contract and the team, and his contract extension made many doubtful people feel relieved.

The second decision is a logical one.Reyes' performance in the Champions League final last season made Wenger feel that Reyes is qualified for the captaincy position.So Wenger announced the appointment of Reyes as the team's third captain, after Henry and Gilberto.

This made Real Madrid a little frustrated. The team captain had Raul, the team deputy had Guti, the third captain had Beckham and Ronaldo, and it was never Reyes' turn.

So there is less news about Real Madrid.

Good news from the youth academy, five young players Nasser Barazit, Rui Font, Paul Rodriguez, Jay Simpson, Wojsek Szesny and Ball The team signed a professional contract, which is regarded as Arsenal's signing income.

Although the team has been assembled, Arsenal's lineup is not very neat because several South American players, including deputy Gilberto, are still participating in the Copa America.

On July 7th, Arsenal, which had been assembled for less than a week, ushered in their first pre-season warm-up match. They defeated the amateur team Barnett at home 14::2. The mixed lineup of main players and substitutes showed a good performance Momentum, the new player Balachite even contributed his first goal for the Gunners first team.

Fabianski, Song, Denilson, Randall, Gibbs and other small players have strong fighting spirit, showing the strong fighting spirit of the Arsenal youth army!
Of course Wenger knows that it is impossible not to strengthen the team.With Ljungberg gone, Wenger will naturally strengthen the right flank. A few days later, Wenger spent £15 million to buy back the 24-year-old right back Sarnia. He will compete with Eboue for this in the new season. Location.

Then Fabregas also expressed his position, saying that he is very satisfied with his life with the Gunners, at least this season will not leave the Gunners.Wenger took so much effort to bring him to Arsenal, he owes Wenger a lot, and he can't say that he will leave after becoming famous.
