"Dick, welcome to Manchester again."

Ferguson smiled and shook Dick's hand, and when Dick walked out of the Manchester airport, Ferguson personally went to pick him up, proving that he valued Dick, but in fact, there was another layer of purpose......

After thinking about it for a while, Ferguson felt that Lehmann was not too necessary for his team, Howard was the goalkeeper he was quite optimistic about, and Barthez could form a double insurance in the goalkeeper position, if there was another Lehmann, it would be too big in terms of salary expenditure, after all, Barthez and Howard's wages are not small, and Barthez has no team to want him now, and he can't be sold by a fire sale.

However, this does not prevent Ferguson from using this to put pressure on Arsenal - so that Arsenal is forced to pay more for Lehmann, and spend a little more on Lehmann, then it will invest a little less in strengthening the strength in other places, which is more beneficial to Manchester United, as for whether it will be cheaper Dick, Ferguson does not care, Dortmund is not his direct rival of Manchester United.

"I'm so glad you were here to pick you up...... But you don't really want Lyman, do you? Dick smiled and said to Ferguson.

The two squeezed into a car that Manchester United used to entertain guests, and it was only then that Ferguson replied with a smile: "Why not?" The whole world knows we need a good goalkeeper. ”

"Butterz's salary of three million and eight hundred thousand for Howard." Dick said lightly: "Lehmann took 1.8 million in Dortmund, and his salary will definitely exceed this figure, so if Manchester United introduces Lehmann, then the salary expenditure in the goalkeeper position for a year will be close to 8 million euros...... I don't think even Manchester United can afford to spend like that, and it's good if Barthez can be sold, but ...... I don't think any club will want him, it's not that he doesn't have the strength, but the club that can afford his salary won't want him, and the club that will want him can't pay his salary...... Seriously, Sir, if you really want Lyman, I'd suggest you'd better dismiss it. ”

Listening to Dick's words, Ferguson had no expression on his face, but nodded after a while: "You're right, on Barthez, I did look away......"

Dick laughed slightly, but did not speak.

"Honestly, your asking price for Rosicky is too high...... 20 million pounds is 30 million euros, which is a very high price, and few teams can afford it. ”

After arriving at the hotel, Ferguson did not leave, but said a word to Dick with a frown.

"Maybe it's high...... But Jazz, after the Russian took over Chelsea, the entire European transfer market was in chaos. He's not an insider, the title of the Dortmund Champions Cup winner, but he's worth a lot of money, I dare say, if Abu is interested in Rosicky, 20 million pounds, that's just an ordinary price, if I sell it to him, I'll add 50 percent, I don't think he will mind...... Mutu and they can both contribute 16 million pounds, and Rosicky's performance is more than a notch higher than Mutu. Dick said after shrugging his shoulders.

"But he may not take a fancy to Rosicky." Ferguson shook his head: "He didn't buy people indiscriminately, but bought people according to Kenyon and Ranieri's request, whether it was Duff or Mutu, it seems that he is still pursuing Crespo...... Their midfield is already overcrowded, and Rosicky may not have a place to go. ”

"I'll keep him interested...... It doesn't take much effort to fool a layman. Dick smiled, "You know, they're still after Veron...... However, although Veron is famous, his performance in the past two years is far less outstanding than Rosicky's, with the momentum shown by Abu's previous transfers...... I think he would have preferred Rosicky. ”

"You're blackmailing me...... Ferguson smiled bitterly: "But to be honest, 20 million pounds to buy Rosicky, this price is definitely unacceptable to us, and the euro is about the same." ”

"The euro is certainly not enough." Dick laughed: "He joined Dortmund two years ago and spent us 25 million marks, which was once the highest value in the history of the Bundesliga, and now two years later, he has matured, he has performed better, with the performance of a world-class player, he only sold for 20 million euros?" If you say that, we'll be laughed out of our big teeth. ”

"There's no way, if Chelsea want to buy it, we can only let them buy it, and we won't pay for this price." Ferguson said after shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, that's fine...... If Chelsea buy Rosicky, I wonder if they will buy Veron? Whatever, Chelsea have the money anyway, and it's no problem to buy 10 people in midfield......" Dick said as if talking to himself.

Ferguson looked at Dick and smiled wryly.

Dick's words are to the point, if Chelsea really buy Rosicky, then they will most likely lose interest in Veron, in the past Chelsea was eager to buy Veron, and after Dick came to London, they slowed down the negotiation of Veron's transfer, for Manchester United, if there is no introduction of Rosicky but can't sell Veron, that is the worst situation.

After two years, Ferguson finally gave up his efforts, Veron's current state is even worse than two years ago, completely unsuitable for the style of the Premier League, and at that time he transferred to more than 30 million pounds, which is also unbearable for Manchester United, and now it is finally out of Chelsea, the unjust head is willing to be a receiver, Manchester United also hopes to be able to recover some more funds on Veron, but if Chelsea really spent a lot of money to buy Rosicky, then they probably won't really buy Veron......

Now Chelsea's midfield is actually not very bad, with Lampard, whether it is Veron or Rosicky, one more person is enough, but they need to buy a good midfielder, so if they buy Veron, it is unlikely to buy Rosicky again, buy Rosicky, but the interest in Veron will wane.

For Manchester United, it would be a good choice to buy Rosicky with the money from the sale of Veron.

"Well, Dick, we can talk about it again, the transfer fee of 20 million pounds is really too high, and in terms of price, we think we need to negotiate it again." Ferguson said after a moment's thought.

"Sir, if I were you, I would buy Rosicky quickly...... There are not many good midfielders available in the transfer market right now, and if Rosicky is bought by Manchester United, then Chelsea will be even happier to pay for Veron in the absence of other options. You must know that they are not short of money, and now they have slowed down the negotiations on the transfer of Veron, mainly because their management is still weighing whether to buy the more experienced Veron, or buy the younger and more expensive Rosicky, if it is delayed for a while, it is impossible for Manchester United to spend more money than Chelsea, not only the transfer fee, but also the salary. ”

Ferguson nodded silently, Dick's words were not wrong, Duff, who was almost a Manchester United before, was intercepted by Chelsea within a few days, not only that they were willing to pay a transfer fee - although the transfer fee of 17 million pounds is high, it is not something that Manchester United cannot afford, but the most important thing is that Chelsea gave Duff an annual salary of up to 5.5 million euros! This is a salary that Manchester United will not offer, and Chelsea's attraction now is not only for the transfer fee, but also for the salary......

Rosicky took 2.9 million in Dortmund, and if he joined Manchester United, it might be about 3.5 million, but what if Chelsea gave 6 million in one go? Would Rosicky not be tempted? You must know that the honors he won in two seasons at Dortmund are not small, and the fact that he can win the title at Manchester United is not attractive, and how many people are not tempted in the face of high salaries?

"Twenty-five million euros, a fixed price."

Alex Ferguson is not a dragger either, and although they did not invest much this summer, they were able to cash in on the transfer market, and 25 million euros is not too low for a player like Rosicky: "It's three times the price you paid for him two years ago. ”

Dick cupped his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, now that you have spoken, Sir, I won't bargain anymore...... To be honest, if you change to another team, you can't buy him at this price, in this case, the next thing is for you and him to discuss the treatment issue, Jazz, next time I have a chance to drink with you. ”

"Go, go, go." Ferguson waved his hand and sighed and said: "This summer is really troublesome, first there are desperate people who throw money, and then there are you who spoil the situation...... It's going to be a lot of events this summer......"

Sure enough, when Dick showed up in Manchester and Ferguson went to pick him up, Wenger started to get nervous.

Of course, he knows that Manchester United also need a goalkeeper, and there is such a thing as competing with Arsenal...... Ferguson would have been happy to do it.

So he immediately contacted Dick and offered to pay six million euros for Lyman.

"Professor, you're going to cut half of it all at once, how can we possibly accept it? Although we are a small club, we can't easily sell our main force cheaply. ”

Dick said very confidently this time, he knew that Lehmann only spent 2.5 million euros on Arsenal in history, but at that time Dortmund was in decline, and now Dortmund has just won the Champions Cup. No way!

He is not afraid that the asking price is too high to make Wenger back down, since Wenger proposed to package Lehmann and Rosicky for more than 10 million euros, then he must have so much budget on hand, and he can squeeze some more, that is, some.

Seaman is gone, Wenger does not have a reliable goalkeeper, even if he throws the entire budget on Lehmann, he has to do it, otherwise, the team that has always wanted to achieve results does not have a good goalkeeper, it is simply impossible.

Eventually, after a series of tug-of-war bargains, Dick was satisfied with selling Lehmann for 10 million euros, a price he was happy with, because a 33-year-old goalkeeper could not sell any more......

"Forty-five million...... The harvest is good, and now, it seems that it is time to buy people, otherwise, next season will really be relegated. Dick thought to satisfaction.
