Chapter 12 The Three Great Difficulties

Lin Sen knows that David Silva's predicament is completely self-inflicted.

If he hadn't brought in David Silva a season earlier, no matter whether Manchester City were praying mantis or yellow finch, or someone with a slingshot under the tree, they wouldn't have been the hapless cicada anyway. And if it weren't for his eagerness to take Di Maria, then Real Madrid might not have set their sights on David Silva at all. If Linson had a better relationship with Barcelona when he was in Malaga, perhaps Barcelona would not have been so difficult with Yaya Toure's transfer.

Therefore, whether it is a cocoon or a lack of greed, in short, this qiē is closely related to Lin Sen.

However, Lin Sen will not regret it.

David Silva introduced early and late, Linson has proved with last season's results, David Silva and Di Maria are better or worse, this is a matter of opinion, as for the good relationship with Barcelona, Linsen has his own plug-in, but he is not a GM, let alone a fairy, where did he know that he would coach Manchester City, and where would he know that one day in the future he would want to poach people from Barcelona, although even if he knew this, he was very likely to do what to do.

So, regret it or something, or throw it into the English Channel, and for now, it's important to come up with a countermeasure.

The history of mankind tells us that if we are backward, we will be beaten. The experience of transfer is told by Sù Linsen, and if you are passive, you will be slaughtered. Therefore, Lin Sen is not used to being passive, or rather, too passive, so there was Marwood's trip to Liverpool, and it was a public appearance.

Mascherano, why not? The Argentine is even a year younger than Yaya Toure.

Because it is Liverpool, his transfer difficulty was indeed higher than Yaya Toure's before, but now, Barcelona's difficulty has raised Yaya Toure's transfer difficulty to a higher level, so. There's no need for Linsen to hang himself from a tree, Mascherano and Yaya Toure, the latter of whom did have success at Manchester City in Linson's memory, but who's to say for sure that Mascherano couldn't?

So, it's as simple as that.

Although I don't know if Barcelona is already interested in Mascherano, because the rumors that the closest to the Argentine midfielder at this time is not the Spanish giants, but Inter Milan, who have just announced Benitez's appointment, and the Italian media even exposed rumors that Mascherano is already learning Italian during the World Cup, of course. In Lin Sen's eyes, these are still just rumors.

Manchester City's bid and Marwood's appearance have attracted widespread attention from the English media, who have been waiting for Manchester City to set off a transfer frenzy.

Not Yaya Toure, it's Mascherano? This seems possible, after all, the Argentine midfielder has been tested in the Premier League compared to the Ivorians.

Yaya Toure, Gamascherano? This also seems possible. Buying a main-caliber player as a substitute, isn't that exactly what Manchester City are like?

……

Accounts differ and opinions vary. So, what about Liverpool's reaction?

Although there was no official response, this did not prevent reporters from reaching out to Liverpool officials. Since Liverpool have not yet confirmed a new manager after Benitez's departure, they are targeting Liverpool manager Christian Paslow, who took over last year. Paslow didn't really want to respond. However, he was blocked by reporters several times in a row, so he had to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he opened his eyes and said nonsense: Mascherano is not for sale.

Actually, it's hard for Paslow. At the moment, Liverpool's issue of Mascherano is no more complicated than Manchester City's issue of David Silva, and what can he say when the manager has not yet been decided?

However, as soon as Tammel's words came out, Mascherano's agent, Walter Tammel, accused him of lying: some things had already been decided when Benitez left, and his words were of no use except to create obstacles.

It is worth mentioning that Tamel did not say this entirely because of Manchester City. As rumored, because of Benitez's relationship, Mascherano is indeed very close to Inter Milan, and in addition to Inter Milan, there is also Barcelona, which expressed interest in Mascherano last year, with his previous public statement, two consecutive Champions League winners are interested in Mascherano, which is a record. And now, Manchester City are simply joining the fray, albeit late, but not too late.

Compared with Tamer, who is happy to see it, Barcelona's Begiristan is a bit of a pain.

Although it is very "harsh" on the sincere Manchester City, Barcelona's attitude towards Yaya Toure is actually very certain, that is, not to retain. Since it is not retained, it is necessary to prepare a replacement, in this case, the replacement locked by Begiristain and Guardiola is none other than Mascherano, which is good, and now, after the last offer was rejected by Barcelona, Manchester City directly shifted the target to Mascherano.

There is no doubt that Liverpool would certainly prefer to sell Mascherano to Barcelona than Manchester City. But in the face of economic interests, Liverpool does not want to strengthen their rivals for how long this consideration can last, which is well known to industry insiders Begiristan, and Manchester City, the most important thing is money.

Their last offer to Yaya Toure came to 23 million. If Manchester City are willing to pay such a high price for a midfielder who has lost his place at Barcelona, how much are they willing to pay for Liverpool's main midfield?

You know, in the contact between Begiristan and Liverpool manager Paslow, the other party's first offer was: 30 million. That is to say, at most 30 million, you can take away Mascherano, and this is only the most, and the transaction price is also the psychological price, which will obviously be lower.

Begiristan had no choice but to consult with Pep Guardiola again.

On July 1, the transfer market officially opened.

Manchester City officially announced two transfers and one transfer, Onuoha's 5 million transfer to Sunderland, Etuhu's 2 million transfer to Cardiff City, and Di Maria, who was already finalized in January this year.

For the two transfer expenditures, the club has no objections, but Manchester City fans are a little dissatisfied, they think that the club is too hasty in dealing with the team's youth players, because these two transfers are very thorough, there is no buyback clause, and there is no avoidance clause, however, it is only a little dissatisfied, most of the fans still choose to understand the club's decision, after all, the current situation of the first team, there is really no room for the development of these two players.

At the same time, the quarter-finals of the World Cup have also ended, in this round against South Korea, Suarez shone brightly, scoring a brace and almost single-handedly sending Uruguay into the quarter-finals, of course, no one in England cares about this now, they care more about another Uruguayan, because there is a game that has angered the whole of England, in the quarter-final against old rivals Germany, Uruguay's referee on duty Larianda disallowed a goal from Frank Lampard that clearly crossed the goal lineThe English media believe that if it weren't for this miscalculation, England's first-half equalizer would never have been defeated, and the humiliating score of four to four would not have happened.

But it's done, just as the goal-line case was in place 44 years ago when England lifted the World Cup for the first time at Wembley Stadium. Only this time, England became a victim.

Linson did not join the anger of the English, although he would still be happy to see the England team go all the way, because the further England goes, the more it will consume the main players of the other giants of the Premier League, and for Manchester City, who have only contributed substitutes such as Wright, Richards and Joe Hart, although it also has an impact, it is almost negligible.

Entering July, it means that the World Cup has entered the most exciting stage, and it also means that the team has entered the new season and officially entered the preparation stage. In addition to the players with World Cup assignments, the rest of Manchester City's first-team squad will return next week. In addition, Manchester City supermarkets are also officially open to the public, and there are not only young talents like Weiss, but also practical players such as Bellamy and Ireland, and high-end goods such as Robinho.

To put it mildly, if the cleaning goes well, Manchester City will not be able to hope to break even in the transfer market this summer. It's just that, just as money is not a problem and there is no money, the problem of cleaning is that cleaning is not smooth.

The high salary has become the biggest obstacle, among which Robinho has the highest weekly salary, reaching 160,000.

At present, Bellamy, Ireland and Robinho are the three "difficulties", Bellamy's situation is the most optimistic, the Welshman does not mind a salary cut, of course, it is impossible to drop too much, but Manchester City's sacrifice in the transfer fee is enough to make up for his loss, so Bellamy's problem is only to find a team that satisfies him. And there are suitors in Ireland, that is, Aston Villa, Aston Villa is willing to pay a transfer fee of about 10 million for Ireland, but they need Manchester City to accept a three-year installment payment method, Manchester City has no objection to this, but the problem is that Aston Villa cannot pay Ireland such a high salary, so if you want this transfer to become a reality, Ireland must accept a salary cut, so the problem is, Ireland is not willing to take a salary cut.

Finally, there's Robinho.

After Barcelona, Ribeiro, who has been running for the Brazilian's next stop for almost half a year, has found another home for Robinho, from Italy, but not Juventus, who was interested in January, but another giant, and the next stop for Robinho in Linson's memory: AC Milan.

In Lin Sen's words, although his butterfly set off a huge wave, there was finally a place where the waves were calm. (To be continued......)
