Chapter 735: Manchester City is really rich
Manchester City manager Mark Hughes is standing on the edge of the grassy training ground, is being interviewed by the TV station, behind him is the empty 'swing' 'swing' training ground, the season training camp has not yet begun, the players are still enjoying the holiday, of course, for many Manchester City players, their new season training camp is no longer here, because Manchester City is in a big recruitment at the same time, is also a large-scale purge.
While Manchester City is on a buying spree, other Premier League teams have also benefited, and in addition to the lucrative transfer fee, the players that City don't need are enough for small and medium-sized teams to take what they need.
In January, Mark Hughes 'spended' £14 million to sign Bellamy from West Ham. In the first half year at Manchester City, Bellamy scored five goals in seven appearances and played very well. However, with the signing of Tevez, Bam Adebayo, and the imminent arrival of Santa Cruz, Bellamy will find it difficult to get a place for Manchester City in the new season, and leaving is a good option for him.
The Daily Mail said that Sunderland's new coach Bruce is optimistic about Bellamy and hopes that he can return to play in the North East of England, although this will make Newcastle football fans angry. Bruce have been on the hunt for a new striker in recent times, with 'Bo'erdo's Chamak being the main target. However, if Arsenal sells Adebayo, Chamak's first choice will be Arsenal, and if Bellamy can be signed at this time, it will be far more realistic than Chamak.
Although Manchester City 'spent' £14 million to acquire Bellamy six months ago, the Welshman is estimated to be able to sell for half the price at most. Sunderland are in no hurry to buy, but Manchester City are in a hurry to make a move.
Previously, Joe Hart, Sturridge, Ruo and others have left Manchester City one after another. But Mark Hughes' purge will continue, including captain Dunn. The Irish centre-back is likely to join Sunderland, but Mark Hughes has lost faith in him due to last season's missteps and repeated reds, and he will want a solid and temperamental defender like John Terry or Carvalho to lead the City defence.
Elano, who is a Brazil international, could be beaten out against Frenkie de Jong and almost imminent signing Gareth Barry. Zaragoza have already offered Manchester City a loan move for Elano, and Premier League duo Bolton and Blackburn are also interested in him. Bulgarian midfielder Petrov's fate is similar to that of Elano, who missed almost a year out of action last season with a serious injury and returned without a place for him, and Phil Brown has extended an invitation to Petrov to go to Hull.
Manchester City's purge in the forward line will be more difficult, with Caicedo and Benjani certainly leaving, and Bodinov also likely to return to Italy. While the new owners of these players have yet to be finalised, it is believed that their transfers will benefit a large number of clubs. Arab bosses are not short of money, so when it comes to purging players, it is almost equivalent to half-selling and half-giving.

Last season, Manchester City were a luxury division, and the table was not as eye-catching as predicted before the start of the season. The final ranking is only 10th in the Premier League, which is somewhat inconsistent with their financial investment. However, after all, the Abu Dhabi consortium has just taken over Manchester City, and it is quite a feat to snatch Robinho from Chelsea last summer.
In the 2008/2009 season, Manchester City won 15 wins, 5 draws and 18 losses, scoring 58 goals and conceding 50 goals. The arrival of Robinho has added a lot of attacking firepower to Manchester City, and Elano has also revitalized City's midfield. But behind City's attacking firepower lies the fact that the defence is riddled with holes. Therefore, it is not surprising that the team is eager to buy the excellent defenders of Terry and Lescott this summer, and these 'deals' have hit the morale of Manchester City a little. However, City have just agreed the signing of Kolo Toure, a former Arsenal player who has strengthened the defence.
Hughes has been a strong advocate of attacking football since he took charge of Manchester City, and Manchester City's attacking power has been greatly strengthened as a result. Most of the signings for the new season will also come from midfield, and Manchester City, with their renewed firepower, should be a team to be reckoned with in the Premier League. Of course, stepping up the offense doesn't mean neglecting the defense. Under the glorious golden dollar policy of the Abu Dhabi consortium, it is believed that it will not be difficult to recruit the famous generals of the defensive line. However, how the coach of the team with many big players controls it has become the only variable whether the team can achieve good results.
Mark Hughes has talked a lot about the outlook for the new season, and now he is talking about the revamp of the backline: "...... Toure is one of the best defenders in football and I believe he can take City's defence to the next level...... I know where City's defensive weakness lies and we need a centre-back with a good header, height, body and bounce to make up for that...... For us, apart from the new signings, Kompany is getting more and more comfortable in the Premier League and he will be a player we can rely on. ”
"Manchester City are rumoured to be in contact with Arsenal's Bam Adebayo, is that true?"
"Yes, Bam Adebayor is now a Man at Manchester City, he is a very good 'goalscorer'. He is eager to come to Manchester City to win honours. Mark Hughes said.
Hearing this, the TV reporters couldn't help but want to laugh, come to Manchester City to look for honor? Don't be funny! Of course, this is what Adebayo said in an interview with the media that he longs for Manchester City, but everyone on earth knows the biggest reason why Adebayo is eager to go to Manchester City: money. Arsenal have always been 'smart' in their calculations, and increasing Adebayo's weekly salary from £40,000 to £80,000 is enough to show sincerity. But this obviously does not satisfy the appetite of the Togolese. According to the media, after going to Manchester City, Adebayo's weekly salary will reach 170,000 pounds, and he will surpass Yang Fan to become the top salary holder in the Premier League. The question is, is Bam Adebayo really the best player in the Premier League?
"Manchester City now have Tevez and Bam Adebayo, but now they are all saying that you are chasing Yang Fan...... the journalist asked.
"I don't want to deceive you, the truth is that our guys did make an offer to Manchester United. But so far we have not received any response from them. Mark Hughes shook his head.
He is indeed very optimistic about the team's pursuit of Yang Fan, but fortunately, the club has respected his request and has taken Adebayo down, so that Mark Hughes will no longer be noisy, but obviously he does not think that Manchester City and Yang Fan have any relationship.
※※※※※※※
Of course, Manchester City did not receive any reply, because whether it was Manchester United Club or Yang Fan's agent Baker, they were almost dismissive of Manchester City's offer, Manchester United did not take care of Manchester City, this is not even because this team is their sworn enemy in the same city, more because they don't think Yang Fan will agree to go to Manchester City, as for Baker, he doesn't think Yang Fan will go to Manchester City at all, so he didn't take care of Manchester City. Manchester City's offer is like a stone in the sea.
However, at this time, Yang Fan said that he wanted to talk about Manchester City, since Yang Fan wanted to listen, Baker also analyzed the most money-burning and sè nouveau riche team in the Premier League and even the entire football world for Yang Fan.
"Following the Abu Dhabi consortium's takeover, Manchester City are indeed the most well-funded team right now, having already brought in a number of players this summer. "You know that your good friend Carlos Tevez joined Manchester City, and after him, just two days ago, Arsenal's Adebayor also joined Manchester City, and they seem to be happy to strengthen the attacking line, and now, Manchester City's forward line, Robinho, Tevez and Adebayo, the rest of the strikers are almost certain to be purged......"
Speaking of Manchester City's recruitment, Baker sighed and said, "Manchester City is indeed rich, and they are willing to spend money, do you know what Adebayor's salary is after joining Manchester City?"
"How much?" Yang Fan asked curiously.
"£170,000 a week!"
Yang Fan also gasped, you know, his weekly salary at Manchester United is only 150,000 pounds, he scored crazy goals for Manchester United, and he is the biggest contributor to Manchester United winning the quadruple crown, only to get a weekly salary of 150,000 pounds, and this Adebayo How can he get a weekly salary of 170,000 pounds?
"So, as you can see, if you're looking to get more money, then Manchester City is the place to go. But Manchester City don't have a chance to play in the Champions League, they don't even qualify for the Europa League next season, and you're afraid you'll have at least a year or two dormant before you can take off, which is undoubtedly not desirable for a star of your level. "Moreover, although Manchester City can come up with a high salary, their influence and appeal are really limited, and now they are notoriously nouveau riche, and ......top stars don't look down on him at all."
Yang Fan understands what Baker means, that is, the current situation of Manchester City, if the top stars join, the pressure will be extremely great, this pressure is public opinion, everyone on the earth knows that the biggest possibility for big-name stars to join Manchester City, and almost the only possibility is to be attracted by Manchester City's salary, which will inevitably be labeled as 'greedy for money'. You know, in the winter, Kaka turned down Manchester City's invitation, but a large number of people applauded it at the time, praising Kaka for not being knocked down by money, which is a football victory.
"So, in my opinion, Manchester City don't need to think about it at all, the real giants, who are on the rise and qualified to compete for the European title, are the best choice for you. Baker said, "Your value and influence are here, and such a team is worthy of you." ”
Yang Fan smiled, "Michael, I thought you would persuade me to join Manchester City, you know, the transfer fee they gave may exceed 100 million, and your dividends will be a lot." ”
"You see me as something. Baker feigned anger. It's not that he is not greedy for money, but he is more rational, and he can see clearly between gains and losses.
Manchester City is really rich, Yang Fan sighed, he was suddenly a little curious, what kind of treatment conditions can Manchester City offer him, it's not that he wants to go to Manchester City, it's just really curious.
