The good guys have to do it, and so do the bad guys.

At Christmas, almost the whole of Manchester City received Christmas gifts, and almost, it means that someone did not receive it, and this person is Robinho.

Robinho had already returned to Brazil on leave before the game against Sunderland, and naturally it was impossible to receive a gift from the club, due to being abandoned by Linson, after entering December, the Brazilian had to appear in the transfer scandal of the English tabloid almost every day, but what is the actual situation? The actual situation is that there are indeed a lot of interested clubs, including even teams like Barcelona, Henry's playing time has been greatly reduced this season, and the French striker has basically determined that he will leave next season, although the young player Pedro is excellent, but Henry's position still needs a replacement, Robinho is undoubtedly an excellent candidate, but obviously Barcelona does not want to upset the balance of the team for a player who has not qualified for the Champions League for the time being, so they just ask for the price and have no follow-up.

There are only two that can really be called an offer, one is from Juventus in Italy, since the phone gate, Juventus, who have been seriously injured, has been changing the lineup almost every year, but their transfer is still lacking heavyweight reinforcements, in the forward line, although they currently also claim to have four major strikers, Piero, Trezeguet, Iaquinta and Amaury, the first two are famous enough, but they are also old, and the latter two are far from the first two in terms of fame and strength, So far this season, Juventus has nine wins, three draws and six losses to temporarily rank fifth in Serie A, which is obviously not a small gap with their desire to compete for the title at the beginning of the season, so it is not surprising that they want to bring in Robinho, but Juventus has the highest net transfer investment in Serie A in the summer, and it is obviously impossible for them to spend too much money to satisfy Manchester City in the winter, so their plan is to rent and buy, two million on loan, and 22 million at the end of the season.

The other offer came from Brazil's Robinho parent club Santos, who also offered a loan contract. It's just that there is no buyout clause, and the loan period is half a year, during which they will bear all Robinho's salary.

For Manchester City, neither offer is what they want, as Robinho, who has been clearly waived by Linson, would prefer a transfer rather than a loan. However, in the winter transfer, Marwood also knows that there are not many options, personally. He's actually more inclined to the latter. The reason why it is not Juventus is because the buyout clause of Juventus is not mandatory for the first time, and they are only willing to pay half of Robinho's salary during the second loan period. The first point makes Juventus's loan contract actually no different from Santos, and the second point makes Juventus's two million loan fee meaningless, because even if it is only half a year, half of Robinho's salary will still cost Manchester City more than two million.

Obviously, Robinho's situation has given them an opportunity to pick up bargains. But Marwood didn't want them to pick it up. So his plan is to go out on loan first and sell it in the summer, but before that, he needs to confirm one thing.

Lin Sen didn't originally plan to inquire about Robinho's transfer. But Marwood took the initiative to find the door, but this time Marwood didn't want to hand over the matter to Linsen, he just wanted to know Robinho's position in Linsen's heart, which surprised Marwood. Lin Sen didn't hesitate to give him a number: twenty-five million.

In the transfer market, the so-called positioning, to put it bluntly. It's pricing.

Robinho's value has shrunk, that's for sure, the question is just how much it has shrunk, the price of Manchester City's introduction of Robinho last year, the media rumors were more than 40 million euros, but Linson knows that the exact figure is 32.5 million pounds, which is about 38 million euros. First of all, the figure is definitely inflated, but given that City were in desperate need of a big-name star at the time, and that they were taking food from Chelsea, it was not ununderstandable that the price would be higher. Real Madrid spent 24 million to bring Robinho from Brazil to Spain, and Robinho's development in Real Madrid was not smooth at first, but the season before he transferred to Manchester City was a little brilliant, so if other factors are not considered, the value of Brazilians should be around 30 million, that is, a slight increase.

In his first season at Manchester City, that is, last season, Robinho scored fourteen goals in Manchester City, which is not a very good number, but it is barely worthy of his value, and then this season, he scored five goals in eleven games on the third line, in fact, he played seven times in the league and scored three goals, which is also not very good, but it is also not so good that his value will fluctuate too much.

According to this calculation, Robinho's worth should still fluctuate around 30 million, of course, it is more likely to be downward. But Lin Sen gave Marwood a price of 25 million, because sometimes the value of a player cannot be completely measured according to the table on the field, Manchester City is not bad for money, so that they can completely not affect the recruitment of players when Robinho is still in the team, but for other teams, players like Robinho, even if they are ordinary giants, it is difficult to bypass Robinho, if nothing else, the salary alone is unbearable. Then there is Lin Sen's abandonment of Robinho, which is like second-hand goods, buying and selling are completely different, if you don't want to sell, things won't become second-hand, then, this thing is worth as much as it wants, and it can even be a little more expensive, but if you put it on the shelf, it becomes second-hand, even if it's brand new, it can only be the price of second-hand goods.

For two reasons, Lin Sen lowered his value by another five million, so now Robinho's worth will be around twenty-five million. Although Juventus has been losing in the transfer market in the past two years, it should still be relatively accurate in terms of Robinho's valuation.

"So low!" Linson's valuation made Marwood frown, obviously, he valued Robinho higher.

"It's not low." Lin Sen shook his head, in his memory, Robinho transferred to Italy in the summer after half a year of loan to Santos, but it was not Juventus, but AC Milan, AC Milan at that time paid 18 million transfer fees for Robinho, or installments, it is said that there are follow-up fees, but it is unlikely to exceed 20 million. Robinho has been better under Linsen this season than he can remember, but the trajectory has not changed, and Linsen feels that the increase in value will not be too large.

"I see." Hearing Lin Sen's words, Ma Wood didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and left.

On the same day, Marwood replied to the offers of the two clubs, and the reply to Santos was relatively simple, with only two words: yes. As for the reply to Juventus, it was more harsh: the loan fee remains the same, but the entire salary must be borne by the owner, and the buyout fee is also 22 million, but the buyout must be compulsory, and then, Marwood also added a sentence later: no counteroffer.

Overall, Marwood is still leaning towards a loan-out -

After Christmas, Manchester City in December still has two opponents in the league, namely Stoke City and Wolves, of which Wolves have met for the second time in the league this season, so Stoke City is the last opponent in the half of the league, and it is also one of the two opponents that Linson has not met in the entire Premier League, and the other is Everton, which was supposed to meet in the second round, but that game was ultimately postponed because Manchester City needed to participate in the Gamble Cup, and the specific time the Premier League official has not yet given a conclusion, Because Manchester City's schedule has been very dense this season, and it still maintains the posture of three lines going hand in hand, plus the FA Cup that is about to start, it will be the fourth line, so God knows that the second round of supplementary matches will be delayed until the Year of the Monkey.

Although Linson's previous Christmas break gave the team one less day of training time, at least the team can have a good mood, on December 27, Manchester City faced Stoke City at home, and the outbreak Bale decided the whole game, and the Welshman completely destroyed Stoke City captain Andy Griffin on the left flank, and the way to use was extraordinarily simple, that is, speed.

Split the ball first, then use the speed to force an overtake, and then go straight in.

In three simple steps, Andy Griffin acted helplessly on the back three times, and Denmark international Sorensen had to pick up the ball from inside the goal three times.

The three-0 score, so that Manchester City finally ushered in a two-game winning streak, but also let Manchester City continue to close to Chelsea in the standings, because Chelsea was forced to draw by Birmingham away in this round of the game, now the distance between the two is, three points, that is, if Manchester City can win the play-up, then, Chelsea's lead over Manchester City, only the advantage of goal difference.

After the game, Lin Sen did not praise Bale, but continued to praise Bale's unique way of praising his watch last time, announcing at the press conference that Bale is now worth 35 million. The media knows that this is Lin Sen still holding a grudge, because when they were in the doldrums of Bale, they had satirized Manchester City for spending 27 million to buy a fragile vase, and now, as long as Bale's watch is good, Lin Sen will definitely help Bale increase his value, as for the bad watch? Then Lin Sen will selectively forget Bell.

On December 29, the last league game of the year, a different stadium, the same opponent, the same scoreline, it was still a 3-0, and this time, the goal heroes became David Silva and Robben. It is worth mentioning that Bale, who suffered from muscle fatigue after the previous game, was forced to press on the bench by Linsen in this round because Linson saw signs of danger in his legs.

Three consecutive wins, this is already the longest winning streak since the opening six consecutive wins, although this game because Chelsea won at home, Manchester City finally failed to counterattack Chelsea at the last moment to become the winter champions, but this game Manchester City is not without gains, that is, Manchester City, which is still three points behind Chelsea, through Guò's three goals in this game, erased the opponent's goal difference.

Now, as long as Manchester City can win the play-off game, then it will be Manchester City who will take the lead.

Three days later, the new year dawned and the winter transfer window opened. (To be continued......)
