Two days later, the good news came from the English FA that brought relief to Donn and the rest of the Forest team: Pepe, a Brazilian player, had obtained a labour certificate and could sign with the Forest. You can represent the Forest team in various competitions. From now on, Pepe is a real member of the Forest team.

This is indeed good news for Donne, as if he is never at ease with meat that does not reach his mouth. Now that the last hurdle to Pepe's transfer to Forest has been lifted, Pepe will officially become a member of the Forest squad as soon as the Forest transfer fee is credited to Porto's bank account. In fact, he is now training with Forest in Nottingham, where the Nottingham Forest's players have regrouped for the new season, with a focus on Champions League qualifying at the end of August, where they will face Villarreal, who lost in the group stage of last season's UEFA Cup.

With Pepe's labour certification issue resolved, Nottingham Forest once again tried to ask Inter about Martins' possible transfer. This time the result was exactly what Donn had predicted – Inter simply turned down Forest's offer. Martins, for his part, also expressed his loyalty to Inter Milan in an interview with the newspaper Sport. He said that no matter which club was interested in him. He belongs only to Inter Milan. He went through the academy here. Here's where you grow, where you step on the European stage, where you become a true professional. Little did he know that he might leave this great club.

See interviews like this. Don didn't want to say anything, and asked the club to withdraw the offer for Martins and all transfer plans - he still wanted to transfer and could go on loan. Now that Martins wants to be a loyal servant. The Forest team gave him that chance. It's just that hopefully a year from now, things won't be the way Donn remembers: Martins is interested in Inter. Inter Milan were ruthless to Martins.

While Martins is unlikely to come to Forest, Donn's quest for a degree forward has not stopped.

Allen advises Donn to consider the not-so-pleasant England golden boy at Real Madrid – Michael? Irving. In terms of timing, this summer is indeed the best time to bring in Irving. From a business perspective. Owen's value is enormous. But Donn told Allen. Unless the Forest Club has a professional medical institution of the level of Milan Laboratory, then don't consider Owen and join. Otherwise, it costs more than 10 million pounds to bring in a glass man. Don didn't want to be ridiculed by others.

Martins couldn't be traded, and Donn's top substitute plan was to pursue Darren Darren, the top scorer in the Ipswich Town team, who was still in England last season and was relegated at the end of the season? Bent, both in terms of price and ability. Or potential. Darren? Bent fits Donn's requirements perfectly. But...... Of the many clubs interested in him, Bent prefers Charlton. Because Charlton's head coach was the first to be optimistic about him and constantly expressed interest in him, Kirbyshley in order to give Darren? Bent vacated his main position after the signing, and even let go of the team's two forwards, Jeffers and Lisby. And, in Charlton, there is Darren? Bent's teammate at Ipswich. Darren? Bent also made a special call to ask for advice when choosing which club to join, and they must have encouraged Bent to join their own team.

So, that's it, Darren? Bent turned down a number of clubs, including Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland and Aston Schola, in favor of Charlton Athletic.

Now the Forest team is in a very awkward position. On the one hand. Forest have qualified for the Champions League for the new season and they are a strong attraction for many players. But on the other hand, the Forest team is still not a giant, and in the eyes of many stars, the Senli team is not their choice. This has caused the phenomenon that the people who Don En likes can't come, and the people who want to come Don can't look down on him.

※※※※※※

And that's not all. The Forest team also faced the problem of being poached when they were worried about which striker to bring in.

With last season's rocket-like surge in the English League, many of Forest's players have become popular among the managers of various teams. George? Needless to say, Wood. If it weren't for the new contracts signed by the Forest team and Wood, it is estimated that the European clubs that came to the door at this time would have squeezed the threshold of the Forest team. George? Wood relied on his excellent performances last season. Voted Young Player of the Season by the Professional Footballers' Association.

He was joined by the rest of Forest's youngsters, with Zim Bonda playing the full game at right-back and looking less visible than Wood or Eastwood. But his steady swing is still indispensable in the team. Fans may not be able to see it. But it's impossible for professional coaches and scouts not to see it. Manchester United have asked Forest about the price of Zim Bonda this summer. Of course, Don did not hesitate to directly label Zimbang as a "not for sale" standard.

But. Despite Zim Bonda's impressive performances, he was still not the most successful transfer for Forest last season. His fellow Frenchman, Frank? Ribery. At the end of the season, he was voted England's best transfer player in the O4-O5 season by the media. Here's what the media said:

- Tony? Coach Donn has a pair of curious eyes, and he dug out George? Players like Wood and Zim Bonda, but last season. The most exciting transfer was the youngster he brought back from the French second division: Frank? Bellery. Free transfers. It didn't cost the Forest a penny, and now it is conservatively estimated that his value has risen to 10 million pounds. Assists, goals, the degree and momentum of the dribble on the wing. That makes Ribery a star to discuss with Ryan Giggs on the English field. Coach Jose Mourinho when Forest qualified for the Champions League. It used to be said that the Forest and their manager were shitty lucky. But take a look now. There are so many young players with great potential. Is it just a matter of luck?

- In Arthur? After Arsene Wenger. We have another coach to look forward to in the transfer market every year. This year's summer transfers. Coach Donn did not hesitate to use the "special talent clause" to bring Brazilian central defender Pepe, who is who? No one had heard of him before. But he'll definitely be able to bring us something new in the new season, why? Just because he's the player that Coach Donn values so much.

INTERVIEWER It is said that sL is currently working with the Forest Club. When making the Fm series of games, I would ask Tony? Donn consults about the abilities and potential of certain players! It's amazing. We all know that sL has more than 2,500 researchers around the world who are responsible for collecting information about players from all over the world...... It's a great combination.

Ribery so beautiful in Ashley on the other side? Yang also received unanimous praise. Although throughout the season. He scored just three goals in the Carabao Cup, but he had the most crosses in the team. It seems to be compared to the goal. He prefers to have some assists.

Other youngsters, such as Piqué and Bendtner, have not been as impressive as others, but they are still impressive. Piquet is decent, doesn't have a lot of amazing performances, but is consistent – which is the most important quality of a defender – a steady swing, steady growth, and every step is exciting.

Bendtner stood out in the middle of the season and then made not many appearances due to the tactical needs of the Forest team. He was the last of the four strikers, but with five goals and great physicality. The outstanding tactical characteristics still let everyone see his unlimited potential.

With so many players who have performed well. Then it is naturally normal for wolves to attract greed.

Ribery, Zim Bonda, George? Wood, Bendtner, Ashley? Young, Crouch... have received invitations from other teams.

Among them, Liverpool offered Forest 7.5 million pounds to buy Pitt? Crouch was completely in Donn's expectation. Because he remembers. It was this summer that Liverpool bought Crouch. Crouch only caught Benitez's attention with his performances in the final three months of the league. Crouch scored a couple of crucial goals after Eastwood's injury, but that wasn't the real reason for Benitez to decide to buy him.

He's the same as Donn back then. Crouch is a high-school striker with excellent footwork, and his presence can greatly enrich the team's tactics and is the key to making the team's attack more varied. Liverpool are lacking such a centre-forward, and the Reds, who have just won the Champions League, are looking to take it to the next level in the new season, so such a centre-forward is indispensable.

Forest spent £1.8 million on Crouch. After one season, it will increase to 7.5 million! Such an increase did not satisfy Donn, who rejected Liverpool's offer. And immediately after refusing, contact the Nottingham Evening Post's Pierce? Bruce does an interview with Donn. In the interview, the two naturally talked about the recent transfer news about Crouch very "appropriately". Done trumpeted Crouch's special role, boasting that almost all clubs in England needed such a "tall, delicate, selfless, able to pass the ball to his teammates and score on his own". Finally, after talking about Crouch's various advantages, Donn said that Crouch is an important member of the Forest team, and he is not prepared to let such a special player leave when the Forest team is fighting on multiple fronts.

Actually? When he received Liverpool's first offer, Done was already planning to sell the tall man. On the one hand. Evan is not Roman Abramovich, Nottingham Forest is not Chelsea. The club's finances can't just go in and out. After buying a number of players for two years in a row, but rarely selling them. The Forest team should save costs by selling players.

On the other hand, he knows that the team has too many high school forwards now: Viduka, Bendtner plus Crouch, the three high school forwards are a bit excessive, and selling one is the best solution. There are not many teams interested in him in Viduka's transfer market right now, and Bendtner, Donn will definitely not sell him, because of his age advantage and the fact that he can still play for Forest for a long time, then only Crouch is suitable.

It's just that Liverpool's 7.5 million makes Don a little disdainful.
