In the Premier League, there are not many coaches who can compare with Ferguson in terms of qualifications, and veteran coach Redknapp is barely one of them.

Regarding Redknapp, Ferguson once commented: You have to pay special attention to the two old ghosts Harry and Jim sitting in the opposing coach's box. Jim in this case refers to Redknapp's deputy, Jim Smith. was able to make Ferguson say the title "old ghost" in a joking tone, on the one hand, because these two are his old friends, and on the other hand, it reflects the cunning of these two people.

Ferguson became a manager in 74 and Manchester United in 86, and Redknapp became a manager in 84 and entered the Premier League in 94, starting from West Ham United.

"Harry, I just need one word, Gareth is still not for sale?" Ferguson, on the other end of the phone, was as straight as ever.

The Gareth in his mouth naturally refers to Bale, who was taken by Tottenham Hotspur two years ago, when Ferguson even found Bale in person, but Tottenham Hotspur gave Ferguson a condition that Ferguson could not give, that is, the opportunity of the first team, at that time Manchester United team, there was no Welsh place at all, although Ferguson has the habits of young people, but it will never be young for the young, the ninety-second class is a miracle, but miracles cannot always appear, and Manchester United does not always need to expect such a miracle, so, Ferguson could only regret missing Bale.

And now, Bale may enter the transfer market, how can Ferguson not be tempted.

"Where did you get the news? Alex, don't tell me sù I'm the Sun. Redknapp replied with a frown.

"The Sun? Hell they go. Ferguson snorted, "Don't forget, I've been here for more than twenty years." ”

Damn it! Hearing Ferguson's words, Redknapp cursed in his heart, and sure enough, someone within Tottenham leaked the transfer news. It's just that complaining is complaining. Redknapp is helpless about this, and the British tabloid reporters are everywhere, which has long been no news, and Tottenham is just one of the "victims". Don't look at Ferguson's hands and eyes in the Premier League, if the same thing happened to Manchester United, Ferguson couldn't stop it, otherwise how could Beckham's flying shoes incident be boiling.

"Only Levi can decide on this." Redknapp thought for a moment and said slowly.

As soon as he heard this, Ferguson immediately understood: it is a fact that Manchester City bid Bale, and it is also a fact that Tottenham Hotspur is tempted. And that means that the price Man City are offering for Bale is definitely tempting enough, otherwise, Redknapp wouldn't say that only Levy can decide.

Twenty million pounds?

If true, it seems tempting, as Bale didn't have a good table last season, but that doesn't seem to be enough to put Redknapp on the sidelines.

So......

Thinking of the shrewd, bald Jew, although Manchester United and Tottenham have always had a good relationship, Ferguson can't help but have some headaches, because Manchester United currently have two former Tottenham players in the squad. Carrick and Dimitar Berbatov, the two players who dealt with Levy when they moved to Manchester United, did not worry Ferguson at all, especially the latter.

Interestingly. Berbatov's transfer last year was the same as Manchester City's fight for the Bulgarian striker, but at the time City played the role of spoiler.

Come to think of it. Ferguson had a playful smile on his face.

Ferguson didn't try to ask Redknapp what City's bid was, because the two know each other well, and there are some bottom lines, needless to say, they will be very comfortable with each other. He just said a word.

"For the sake of our friendship over the years, do me a favor, Harry. If you are going to accept an offer from Manchester City, call me and tell me. ”――

Manchester City's offer is 25 million!

This is undoubtedly a sky-high price for a player who was worth only $5 million two seasons ago, suffered a serious injury in the first season, and won a game in the second season because he played 24 times in a row, so much so that he was called "inverted" ("Bale" also means unlucky in English slang)!

But Manchester City still gave such a price, not because Manchester City has a lot of money, and it is not because Manchester City is really so far-sighted that there is only one reason why Manchester City can throw such a price, that is, Lin Sen's insistence. In order for Bale to be the replacement for Di Maria in the transfer plan, Linson even talked to Mubarak himself for a few hours to convince the other side to accept the transfer of targets.

But even so, Marwood thought Linson was crazy.

It is true that Bale's talent has been recognized throughout the Premier League, but talent can only be brought into play when it becomes ability, otherwise, it is all empty talk. There are more talented people in football history who are better than Bale, not every genius can play, and this kind of thing is never new in the football world, two years ago, Bale was hailed as "Giggs second", but will he really become Giggs second? At least that's not the case with the number of these two seasons.

Still, Lin Sen made a bid.

The first offer, fifteen million. Less than a day, rejected! Although Bell is not as good as expected, he is still Levi's baby bump.

The second offer, 20 million. This time, after waiting for three days, I still refused. Levy thinks Bale could be a more expensive player.

The third offer, twenty-five million. This time, Levi was silent for the time being......

Marx has a very famous comment on capitalists in Capital, and the last sentence of the commentary, which is also the strictest, says that as long as there is 300% profit, people will not be afraid of crime, and even the danger of hanging their heads. Manchester City, which has a bigger capitalist, is certainly not qualified to judge Levy with this, but it is an indisputable fact that Levy is also a capitalist, so can he resist the temptation? ――

Manchester was turned upside down, but Lin Sen, who was far away in South Africa, had a relaxed expression.

As Manchester City's offer for Bale was gradually confirmed, even the happy Manchester City fans felt that the deal was a little too risky, and the BBC reporter even went to South Africa to ask Linson this question in person, and Linson did not disappoint them, after the 1-0 defeat to Chief Caesar, he looked in a good mood and generously admitted his interest in Bale: Bale? Why not?!

As for the question of whether Bale is worth 25 million, Lin Sen did not answer, but whether it is Marwood or Mubarak, they actually know that Lin Sen's answer is yes, because for this transfer, Lin Sen's budget is not 25 million, but 40 million!

Lin Sen is determined to win Bell!

If Levy refuses to offer again, Lin Sen will continue to raise the offer, 30 million, 35 million......

It's just that Lin Sen didn't think that Levy would mark the price so high at this time.

At this time and then, if the Bale who will transfer to Real Madrid in the future is the real great sage, then Bale at this time is just a stone monkey that has just come out of the stone, far from making trouble in the heavenly palace, and Bale when he transferred to Real Madrid in memory, almost all the halos are brushed out after this season, that is to say, the current Bale, in addition to talent, does not have any basis for Levy to sit on the ground and raise the price, of course, if Levy is emotional, regards money as dung, and insists on keeping Bale, then Lin Sen has nothing to say, But what are the odds?

Linson has not waited for news from Tottenham, he has waited for news from Spain first.

Good news.

Gary Cook and Valencia have agreed on a transfer fee of $30 million for David Silva, and David Silva's agent has travelled to Manchester to negotiate a final personal contract with Manchester City, and once completed, David Silva will be Manchester City's ninth and most expensive signing so far.

Gary Cook has returned to Manchester first after finalising the deal for David Silva, and of course, his work in Spain is not over yet, and although he has already held two talks with Baldano, the deal has become more and more of a soap opera, and both talks have actually failed to achieve much results.

However, for Robben's transfer, Lin Sen is not worried about being late, because the Premier League is just a revisit to Robben's old place, and there is no problem of adaptation.

What Lin Sen didn't expect was that after the good news, there was out-and-out bad news.

Today, Marwood called him from Manchester, not because Tottenham finally had an answer to Bale's transfer, but because United were involved in Bale's deal

Levy himself did not expect that just as he was about to nod his head at City's offer, Ferguson would make an offer to Bale.

The price is 22 million, which is slightly lower than Manchester City, but it is still an acceptable offer.

With two offers in hand, Levy hesitated.

From the team's point of view, whether it is Manchester United or Manchester City, the new season is the main opponent of Tottenham, and this summer, Manchester City recruited troops, and it is the main opponent of Tottenham to qualify for the Champions League. From a club's point of view, Tottenham also have a better relationship with Manchester United, as both teams have a common enemy, Arsenal. On the contrary, Manchester City often hook up with Arsenal because they also have a common enemy, Manchester United.

It seems that Levy should accept Manchester United's offer, but this matter needs to be looked at from another angle.

That's the businessman's perspective. (To be continued......)
