Chapter 25: Adam Johnson (First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
After Niang learned the news of Adam Johnson's intention to transfer, he began to focus his firepower on Manchester City's club.
Manchester City is not actually Liverpool's sworn enemy, their sworn enemy is Manchester United. Manchester United's sworn enemies are Liverpool. If someone really can't keep it, then selling it to Liverpool might disgust Manchester United?
Manchester City are not short of money and do not need to sell players to make money. A lot of the time the way they purge their players is to give them away for nothing.
The key is whether they are willing to sell Adam Johnson. Although it is indeed difficult for Johnson to play the main team in Mancini's tactics after Nasri's arrival, he is at least a useful addition to the team. Coupled with the fact that Adam Johnson is a panacea that can play on both wings, this and players who can play multiple roles can play a big role in a long season.
In such a situation, Adam Johnson had to be encouraged to come out and rebel.
Niang again motioned to Adam Johnson to put pressure on the club. He has even set up a personal contract for Johnson in place of Dalglish, showing him that his personal treatment is only higher than when he was at Manchester City, whether it is in personal honor, personal vanity, or personal treatment, he always tries to satisfy Adam Johnson.
He sent people over to Liverpool's previous remarks. And they have a very convincing example, that is, Chen Yingying's Canadan Alliance. You see, the top scorer in the Champions League, the top scorer in Serie A for three consecutive years have joined us, are you still afraid that you won't get any honors? Rest assured, you'll get more than you'll get at Manchester City!
This has to say that Chen Yingying's alliance is really a very critical step, with him in the team, Liverpool has to go out to find someone to negotiate more than you see Chen Yingying's awesome character is in Liverpool, dear, what are you hesitating about? Hurry up and join the alliance!
As for whether Liverpool's future is really as wonderful as Niang described, he doesn't care about it now, anyway, let's fool people over first.
Sure enough, news soon came from Manchester that Adam Johnson felt despised and unfairly treated by the club because of the upcoming Nasri, and his main position was in danger of being secured, and he wanted to move away.
Manchester City, of course, will not terminate the negotiations with the Arsenal Club because of him, and this is almost successful, how can anyone give up before the finish line?
There's no way Mancini could have said to Adam Johnson, "It's all right, buddy." Even if Nasri comes, you are the main force, he is the substitute. Even if he could have said this kind of thing cheekily, Adam and Johnson would not believe it.
There is another thing that makes Manchester City very worried: Manchester City has bought players on a large scale this summer, although it has increased the strength of the team, but it has also made the players who already exist in the team inevitably have some ideas: only the newcomers laugh, and the old people cry when they smell the urgency?
If everyone fires Adam Johnson in order to get a position, how can there be a moment of peace in Manchester City's already complicated dressing room?
Manchester City finally decided to agree to talk to Liverpool about Adam Johnson, of course, they will not sell players cheaply.
So the direct quote is 20 million pounds.
Niang didn't even think about it before he saw 10 million pounds.
Cut it in half.
His reason is also very simple: we are working hard to pursue Downing, and Downing's transfer will also make a breakthrough in the near future, we have spent too much money on Downing, and it is naturally impossible to spend more money on Adam Johnson, although we need Adam Johnson very much, but 20 million you are completely robbed!
Adam Johnson doesn't mind if he loses his position because of Downing's arrival, because he can play two, on the wing, so he always has his own position.
He continued to put pressure on the club.
In this way, Manchester City will not be able to hold on.
Anyway, in the end, the clubs of both sides reached an agreement to buy Adam Johnson for 15 million pounds, and it was waiting to be announced.

When Niang got Adam Johnson, Dalglish also got Aston Villa and Downing.
The two parties have even drawn up a personal contract, waiting for it to be signed and take effect.
Although it is said that in the English club, the transfer power is in the hands of the manager, but everyone forgets that in a club, the head coach will always play better than the head coach. The head coach has a lot of arms at best, and the head coach has a lot of legs.
Usually, the head coach does not interfere in the affairs of the head coach, he buys whoever he wants. But if the head coach has to step in and insert a lever, then the head coach has nothing to say. Because the club is people's money and people's money, people do have the right to make such a decision...
So just after Dalglish and Aston Villa made a transfer agreement for Downing, Chen Xing, who had not been involved, appeared.
He directly rejected Dalglish's transfer plan to Downing as the head of the club's club, on the grounds that "Downing is not worth 20 million pounds at all!" He then agreed to a transfer deal led by Niang to Adam Johnson.
In this way, Adam Johnson was worth 15 million pounds from Manchester City to Liverpool.
And he didn't know that his transfer was the result of a wrestling between the two giants of Liverpool's top management. If he knew the whole process of his transfer, Liverpool manager Dalglish didn't know...... Maybe he wouldn't have agreed to a move to Liverpool at all!
It was always Niang who poached Adam Johnson in a less glamorous but proven way, stuffed it into the Liverpool line-up, and then he kicked the ball to Dalglish to see what Dalglish was going to do with Adam Johnson.
※※※
Dalglish was furious when he knew that the agreements he had worked so hard to make with Aston Villa and Downing himself were a pile of waste. But what drove him even more crazy was to come, just a day later, Liverpool and Manchester City Club announced the news of Adam Johnson's league team on the official website at the same time.
It made him feel like he had been slapped in front of that bastard from Nyon!
His previous foreboding finally became a reality, he was fooled and deceived in the transfer market, and the manager of the club club actually hid from him and completed a transfer, where did he put his face as a manager?
Although in today's English football, there have been more and more clubs in charge of transfers, the head coach has the right to make direct suggestions, but not the right to decide, the most typical is Chelsea, in Chelsea owner Abramovich is the final say, even Mourinho also buys people through the boss one by one He wrote the transfer list on paper, and then gave it to the boss, and the boss arranged it.
Bigglish is an old-school English coach who is very traditional and conservative. Tradition is simply the bible of these people. The transfer authority has been the head coach of the team since ancient times, so why should it be given to a general manager?
He couldn't tolerate this happening to him, so he went to find Chen Xing.
No one knows what the two of them talked about, but after the talk, Dalglish could only pinch his nose and accept Adam Johnson, and outside he also had to express his liking for Johnson, he did like Johnson, but he didn't like Downing as much.
But he hadn't spoken to Niang since, and Niang hadn't spoken to Dalglish again.
An ordinary transfer turned into a break between the two giants, which seems incredible to outsiders, but no one in the circle who knows the inside story thinks it's really long.
Dalglish wants to be the Ferguson of Manchester United, but it's a pity that he met the general manager from Italy, and the position of the head coach is really no different from a dog...... So in Italy, there will never be a Ferguson.

Chen Yingying didn't know that the transfer of Adam Johnson involved how many things from within the club and at the top of the club came in.
He's just happy that he finally has a player who can cross well.
That makes it easier for him to score goals in games and more about the people who pass the ball to him, and he always tries to maintain a good relationship with the people who pass the ball to him, so Adam Johnson was greeted by last season's world football man on his first day in the team.
This made him a little surprised and ...... Flattered. Steven Gerrard is not currently training with the team due to injury. So Chen Yingying is the biggest star in the team.
His performances last season were so good, especially when he scored 13 goals in seven knockout games in the Champions League, scored a hat-trick in the final, and beat Messi to win the Champions League and top scorer. The final was played at Wembley Stadium and left the most impressive impression on England fans and players.
Adam Johnson is just an ordinary player, he never thought that he could achieve the same results as Chen Yingying, so he admires Chen Yingying even more.
Now that he has just joined the alliance with Liverpool, he has been warmly welcomed by a big star like Chen Yingying, he suddenly feels that Liverpool is really like a big family, and it seems that his transfer to Liverpool is the right choice!
The team-mates were surprised that Downing, who had almost one foot in Melwood, did not make a successful transfer. However, it was only surprised, and it did not say that Downing was disappointed when he did not come, and they were still very happy about Adam Johnson's alliance.
Especially whether it is Johnson or a local player, everyone is a compatriot, there is no problem with the language when speaking, there is no obstacle to communication, and this relationship is naturally easy to get close...
Such a great start made Adam Johnson full of hope for his future at Liverpool, unaware that he had become a battleground at the top level, and his future at Liverpool may not be as good as he imagined......
