Adriano's arrival, for Manchester City fans, is like the arrival of Linson.

There is a welcome attitude towards this signing, because although Adriano has a bad record, he is still far from the age of retirement after all, and he is still a free transfer. There are also those who shake their heads and say that they are not optimistic, what is the meaning of the easy change of the country's nature is difficult to change, if it is really so easy to turn back, how can Inter Milan give up Ade?

However, more Manchester City fans still have reservations. It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and you'll know. For or against, Adriano is already a Manchester City player, and whether Adriano can really turn back, Manchester City obviously can't put all their hopes on him alone.

Compared with Manchester City fans, the media in England is more optimistic about this signing, Sky Sports commentator Souness directly commented that this transfer is a dangerous gamble by Linson, while BBC commentator Dwyane simply said that it is a lottery ticket bought by Manchester City. Regardless, Adriano is City's first signing, but it can't be City's only signing.

For the fast-changing transfer market, four days can be a time when nothing can happen and a lot can happen.

The good news comes from the expected transfer of Azpilicueta, Manchester City and Osasuna, who do not have any rivals, have agreed on a transfer fee for the Spanish defender, eight million euros, paid in one lump sum, no installments, no special terms, Osasuna fans may be disappointed that their team has lost a young idol, but Osasuna, who has been hovering on the edge of the relegation zone in recent seasons, is satisfied with this transfer, especially the transfer fee is paid consistently, eight million does not seem like much, But when you think about last season's transfer budget of just one million, you can see what that money means for a relegation team.

Azpilicueta himself is not averse to a move to Manchester City, which is not considered ecstatic. But there is more or less joy. Because although he played as the main full-back in Osasuna for two seasons, he has never been in the national team, let alone the ambitious Manchester City, even if it is an ordinary team, he is not qualified to pick and choose, come to Manchester City, he can not only earn more, but also have a famous manager in Spain, and this manager. Everyone knows that he likes to promote young people.

Sadly, this is the only good news.

Marwood is still arguing with Moyes over Lescott's transfer, and after the offer was decisively rejected by Everton, the unrelenting Marwood made two more actual offers, one a day, the first time for 10 million pounds and the second for 12 million pounds, but both offers were rejected by Moyes without exception, and almost without hesitation. At this moment, Marwood finally realized how uncomfortable Lin Sen's restrictions were for him. Gritting his teeth, Marwood made a third offer, fourteen million pounds. That's close to the $15 million top line he agreed with Linson, surpassing fellow England international Bridge in January, when Manchester City spent 12 million pounds on bringing in Bridge from Chelsea.

How did Moyes react this time? His reaction was a little impatient. Only two million at a time, this is an England international, which is not at all in line with Manchester City's status as a local tyrant. Thereupon. In an interview with the media, although the actual offer of Manchester City was not revealed, after acknowledging the fact that Manchester City was interested in Lexter, his attitude was very resolute: Lescott, not for sale.

Marwood never thought that Moyes would be so difficult, he thought that the loan of Brazilian striker Ruo last season should at least be more frank on both sides of the transfer process, not to mention that Everton also expressed interest in renewing Ruo's loan, but Moyes is now not only determined not to sell, but also directly exposed the transfer.

Could it be that Moyes really doesn't sell? That's not what Lescott's agent told Marwood. In any case, now, there are only three ways in front of Marwood, one is to give up, one is to increase the offer, and the other is to make an off-market move. The first one is unwilling, the second is impossible, so, out of three paths, in fact, there is only one left.

Marwood made three offers in four days, and Gary Cook, who went to Madrid, Spain, made progress as slow as a snail in the matter of Robben, and Real Madrid did not directly refuse Manchester City's request for Robben, but also did not give a clear price, and the attitude can only be described as **, just like Robben's current position in the Real Madrid team. While this at least proves that Robben is not for sale, such a transfer is also the most difficult to figure out, which makes Gary Cook bitter. Blind and elephant-like, he is said to have just connected with Real Madrid, and he is not Baldano who is in charge of transfers...... However, it is clear that Gary Cook will not be able to wait for Real Madrid just like that, and Garry Cook will still have to deal with Valencia after Valencia rejected Manchester City's offer of David Silva.

As for the other targets, there has been little progress, and Benfica have yet to respond to City's offer so far, and with two players involved, it is unclear whether Benfica is waiting for City to make an actual move or if they have other plans. As for Xavi Martinez, Manchester City have made an offer of 10 million, and Bilbao has not made an official response at the moment......

One of the more uncertain goals than these goals has reached a stalemate, and that is Manchester City's only target in Germany, Bayer Leverkusen's midfielder Vidal.

Two years ago, Bayer Leverkusen brought in Vidal from Chile's Colo Colo at a record price for the Chilean domestic league transfer fee at the time, and Vidal also became an important pawn in Leverkusen's midfield, but in fact Vidal did not fully belong to Leverkusen, because Leverkusen only bought 70% of the ownership from Colo Colo at that time, and the other 30% was still in the hands of the Colo Colo team. South American teams have historically struggled with player ownership, with Carlos Tevez in the hands of his agency, for example, while in Europe, some leagues have restrictions on this, others don't, and the Bundesliga obviously doesn't have that.

Manchester City's offer for Vidal was naturally rejected by Leverkusen, but Manchester City did not stop there, and the first round of offers given by Marwood was 10 million pounds, about nearly 12 million euros, which is definitely not a temptation, because this price is already 5 million higher than the original price of Leverkusen to bring in Vidal, although Leverkusen only has 70% ownership. And after receiving this actual offer from Manchester City, Bayer Leverkusen seem to be aware that Manchester City's interest is not just lip service, so they offer their price.

Twenty-five million.

This is undoubtedly a bargain price, but what makes Marwood a little annoyed is that he then returned two offers, raising the prices to 11.5 million and 13 million respectively, while Leverkusen's counter-offer was still 25 million at all. So, when Linson returned from Brazil, Marwood explained the situation, and then he tried to get Linson to accept a man who had not conceded in the previous coordination to replace Vidal, who is currently playing for Aston Villa, Gareth Barry.

The 28-year-old Gareth Barry is a regular in the England national team, but he really caught the attention of the giants in the last two seasons, with his excellent performance at Aston Villa, Barry was close to joining Liverpool last season, and now Xavi Alonso, who has joined Real Madrid, left Liverpool so decisively, Barry is the "initiator".

At that time, when it was time to coordinate, Marwood wanted to replace Xavi Martinez with Barry, and Linson did not say no, but put forward the condition that Marwood had to be in agreement with him on the introduction of Suarez. In the end, Marwood did not agree, insisting that Manchester City could have a better option on Suarez's issue, so Barry had no choice but to give up.

And now, Marwood has brought it up again. However, Lin Sen did not budge.

Because of Bari, Suarez was ultimately on the transfer list, but the order of introduction was ranked last. It's not about putting him on the line, it's about it means he's no longer the go-to target. This is the only regret in Linson's entire summer transfer plan. Manchester City was ready to take a look at the movement in the transfer market first, and sure enough, the movement came, and the big fish Tevez flowed into the transfer market, and now, it is doubtful whether Suarez can be brought in smoothly.

This is the damn restriction that Mubarak wants, there is no word, it should be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for any club, but it is not applicable to Lin Sen, who has come over, but Lin Sen still accepts it calmly, because you want others to trust you unconditionally, in addition to your own efforts, you always give others a little time.

Instead of accepting Marwood's offer to Barry, Linson took over Vidal's transfer directly. The transfer is in the hands of Marwood, and in his hands, and in theory, he can interfere in any transaction. And in fact, Lin Sen has even a little more power than Marwood. For example, Lin Sen has a five-million privilege in his hand.

The so-called five million privilege is a right given to Linson by the Manchester City board, or Mubarak to be exact, that is, for transfers up to five million pounds, Linsen can make his own decisions without the approval of the board.

This privilege can be regarded as a compensation for Manchester City's acceptance of Marwood's constraints, and at the same time, it is also an affirmation of Linson's work in Malaga. Of course, Lin Sen's right to be independent of the transfer plan is not completely unlimited, because although five million does not seem to be much, if the number is too much, it is also an investment that should not be underestimated. Therefore, the budget that is counted in the youth training investment is only 10 million pounds per season.

10 million pounds, before Manchester City's transfer budget of up to 200 million, is just a drop in the bucket, and it seems to be just a sign of Manchester City's focus on youth training, but for Linsen, this inconspicuous privilege is enough to make him turn the clouds over.

And Mubarak may not have imagined that the privilege he gave to Lin Sen was only intended to compensate for the constraints on Lin Sen, but it was this privilege that made him finally give up the constraints on Lin Sen. (To be continued......)
