After the discussion about the sharing of players and medical information, the secret meeting finally ushered in the topic of the greatest concern of everyone present - mutual help and prohibition of malicious competition!

Naturally, Ferguson attaches great importance to this topic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because Manchester United is currently facing a rather serious problem, that is, the lack of a reliable enough goalkeeper!

Since the decorated goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel opted to retire at the end of the 98-99 season, United have never had a reassuring presence in the goalkeeper position - if Barthez and Howard have not been consistent enough to play once or twice, then the performances of Carroll, Taibbi and Bosnich at Manchester United can only be described as nightmares. Even if these guys just play for the Red Devils, they can surprise Manchester United fans into a cold sweat first!

If it weren't for the fact that Manchester United was in its heyday at that time, and the golden midfield built by Xiaobei and Ryan Giggs and others was difficult to match in English football, Manchester United would have been killed by these parallel goalkeepers, how could there be the glory of the Premier League three times in a row?

So, if we really talk about helping each other, then Manchester United is undoubtedly the most in need of support. After all, the extent of Manchester United's goalkeeper cheating over the years can be said to be well known, and Tottenham and Chelsea, who don't need to worry about goalkeeper problems, will definitely help Manchester United in this regard. Otherwise, the three alliances created by George may face a stillborn situation.

On top of that, both Chelsea and Tottenham have more than one good goalkeeper in the goalkeeper position. Akinfeev and Petr Cech have quickly established themselves as the main players after joining Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur with their excellent and consistent performances, but that does not mean that Cudicini and Kessie Keller are useless - the former was the main goalkeeper who helped Chelsea finish third in the Premier League and the last four of the Champions League last season, and the latter was the main goalkeeper of Tottenham to win the League Cup and FA Cup double!

If one of the two can be taken on this opportunity to bring one of them to Old Trafford, then this alliance will definitely not be a loss, as it will not only greatly strengthen the weakest link of Manchester United's squad, but also test the sincerity of Tottenham and Chelsea in this alliance. If George is serious enough about the three leagues, then he will definitely choose to sell Casey Keller to Manchester United, or convince Abou to sell Cudicini to the Red Devils!

"Want to get Casey Keller or Cudicini from us and use them to fill Manchester United's lack of goalkeeper positions?" After listening to Ferguson's request and getting an affirmative answer, George thought for a while and replied with a smile, "Alex, if I agree to your request, which one will you pick to play for Manchester United?"

To be honest, George was not surprised by Ferguson's request. Because in his previous life, a similar scene was played out between Juventus and AC Milan - at that time, due to Gianlusan Buffon's unexpected injury in the Berlusconi Cup, he had to be out for three months, so AC Milan, as an ally, urgently loaned substitute goalkeeper Abbiati to the Bianconeri for half a season to help Juventus survive that goalkeeper crisis!

Although Milan fans are not unanimous about this loan incident, it has to be said that AC Milan's move has maintained the alliance between it and Juventus very well. If it weren't for the later outbreak of the phonegate incident, the elder Berlusconi was quite unkind to take advantage of the fire at the critical moment, causing a tear between Juventus and Milan, I am afraid that the Holy League really has hope to achieve domination of Italian football!

Therefore, before the start of this meeting, George had anticipated that Ferguson would ask for Kessie Keller or Cudicini from Tottenham and Chelsea, and set out the corresponding countermeasures.

"Uh......" George's question managed to put Ferguson in a dilemma. Faced with these two capable goalkeepers, the Lord obviously had a hard time making a choice - no matter which one he chose, Ferguson felt that the other might be a better fit for the current Manchester United.

In terms of strength alone, Cudicini, who was the main goalkeeper at Chelsea last season, is undoubtedly better than Kessie Keller, but in Ferguson's eyes, the choice of Kessie Keller, who is already 35 years old, is also quite good. Because generally speaking, such veterans do not have too high requirements for playing time, so after Ferguson finds a goalkeeper who is really suitable for Manchester United, it is not easy for Kessie Keller, who has been relegated to the bench, to make any trouble in the team.

"I'm a bit of a superficial idea about this. Seeing that Ferguson couldn't make a decision for a long time, Edwards suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind at this time, and put forward a suggestion that seemed quite "reasonable" to him, "Viscount Nelson, Chairman Abramovich, why don't you loan both Casey Keller and Cudicini to Manchester United for free for one year, and then we will decide which one should be bought out based on their performance during their time at Manchester United." Do you think it's going to work?"

For years, Ferguson has been asking the club to increase its budget in the transfer market and strengthen Manchester United's overall strength by bringing in strong reinforcements, so that the Red Devils can achieve another success in the Champions League. Martin Edwards, who was the CEO of Manchester United at the time and had a lot of profits in his hands, refused to agree, which directly led to Manchester United's dominance in the domestic league in the seasons when the core players were at their peak, but their results in European competition were lackluster. And now, Edwards has used his miserly style to this secret meeting, and the results speak for themselves!

"Huh. Sure enough, after hearing Edwards' suggestion, George and Abu didn't even bother to take care of it, and directly used a modal word as an answer to this plan.

I don't want to pay any price, and I want to use our players for nothing, and it's two at a time, you are daydreaming and haven't woken up, right?!

"I'm still going to ask for Cudicini. Rent-to-own with a buyout fee of 10 million euros. Edwards' poor performance made Ferguson a little unbearable, and he quickly made a final decision - after a long hesitation, the lord still chose Cudicini, who had a faster effect. Because Ferguson is also not sure when Manchester United will find another Schmeichel.

"Deal!" Abu did not choose to bargain with the other party for Ferguson's offer, but readily agreed to the gentleman's request, "However, during Cudicini's loan, the wages and bonuses are paid by Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson should have no problem with that, right?"

"This is natural. Ferguson nodded, and agreed to Abu's request - he was not as thick-skinned as Edwards, and he dared to ask for a free loan after accepting such a big favor from the other party.
