After signing Yaya Toure, Edinson Cavani and Thiago Silva, Lee's signing journey also seems to have been hampered a bit. His attempt to sign Adler was thwarted by Bayern.

Bayern preemptively took Li Bin and communicated with Bayer Leverkusen. Before Li Bin could make his next move, they had already bid for 18 million euros and asked to buy Adler to Bayern.

However, Li Bin did not show weakness, and he immediately spent 15 million pounds to buy Neuer from Schalke 04. Moreover, in a subsequent interview, Li Bin immediately said, "I have to recruit Neuer from the beginning, Adler is talking about playing." ”

Of course, the media does not believe such a statement. They laughed at Li Bin's failure to buy people, thinking that Li Bin bought a spare tire and came back.

In the media, Li Bin's approach has always been mocking, but Li Bin also mocked them in private.

In fact, Li Bin was relieved to see Bayern at that time: from the beginning, he wanted Bayern to make a move. For German players, Bayern has a natural attraction, if Bayern does not change the new goalkeeper, then other German goalkeepers will have some hope for Bayern's No. 1 shirt. The same is true for Neuer, for him, playing for Bayern is the best choice of his career, when he can go to Bayern, he will not easily consider other teams, so Li Bin wants to buy Neuer, the first step is to cut off the possibility of him and Bayern.

It would have been difficult at any other time, but thankfully, Adler and Neuer are now evenly matched, and Kahn announced his retirement in the summer of '08. A team like Bayern has a strong desire to collect players at the international level of their own country, especially in the goalkeeper position, and of course they want to use the German international. After Kahn retired, Bayern only had Rensing available, and Rensing's talent was really poor, and there was no intention of Germany's future country, they would definitely have to buy people in the future, which was inevitable.

If it was in memory, they still had Bout to top it up, but now that Bout has been signed by Parma, they don't have much choice, and if they don't sign one, they can only use Lensing. They were originally under investigation, and it is precisely because of this, coupled with Adler's talent now, Li Bin's pursuit and hype of Adler made Bayern judge that Adler was more talented, and he snatched Adler early.

This process is step-by-step, relying on wild words to spend 100 million, to continuously eat players, and Milan to grab players, all Li Bin has to do is to show Bayern the possibility of signing Adler, which will naturally lead Bayern to sit still. Bayern wants to rise, Li Bin's insinuating ridicule is just that, but if they grab people at the doorstep, if they don't do it, they will be bullied home, so they can only buy Adler in advance.

Adler went to Bayern, so Neuer would not have the best option. The goalkeeper is not an easy position to change, Adler is not a low talent, and now that he has gone to Bayern, it is difficult to make another change. And taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Bin paid a high price to buy Neuer - because he has always shouted that Adler is the best, so now he is buying Neuer, which makes other onlookers feel that he is buying a spare tire, so they are not optimistic about Neuer, so naturally they will not compete with him, which makes Li Bin easily spend 15 million pounds to buy Neuer.

This transfer battle was played quite beautifully. From the beginning, he announced his entry into the market in a high-profile manner, but he bought his own people just to create momentum. then fought with Milan, also to show Bayern, and the bunker he chose was Adler, who was more famous than Neuer, in order to let Bayern fight with him. In fact, until the last moment, Li Bin was worried that Bayern would suddenly announce the signing of Neuer, in that case, Li Bin would only be able to sign Adler at a high price, but fortunately, Bayern has not taken a fancy to Neuer yet, and they still chose the more secure Adler.

won the transfer battle, but Li Bin did not make a statement. Although the purchase of Neuer was a complete victory, he preferred to let the other Premier League teams see that he had already lost the battle.

"Li Bin may know by now, he can't do everything, and he still has a long way to go if he wants Tottenham to rise!"

The media are all commenting like this, and in the midst of the comments, Tottenham's buying pace seems to have slowed down a lot. Rumor has it that Levy was dissatisfied with Li Bin's practice of buying a spare tire at a high price and took back the transfer rights, and in the subsequent deal, Tottenham bought people with a fairly small budget, and even some of them bought people, which made people feel a little ridiculous.

Handanovic, Kolarov, Jerome Boateng, Piszczek, Gustavo...... Li Bin's series of transactions, there is not even one that exceeds 5 million, this 2 million, that 3 million, a few transactions, a total of less than 20 million pounds, which also makes all the media feel ridiculous. Some time ago, Li Bin was still laughing at Wenger's recruitment of small fights, why did he start buying people like this now?

This approach is stingy enough.

Only Li Bin himself seems to be unaware that he has a long-term dispute with Benfica because of the transaction of a young player Di Maria, and wants to lower the price, and his approach has made the media laugh, "Tottenham Hotspur seems to have recovered to the time when he was poor before, and now if it goes on like this, when will it be able to spend 100 million?" Of course, maybe Levy doesn't want to spend 100 million at all? ”

"Until when? Of course, it's time for the new season to begin. In this regard, Li Bin's view is very simple, "Now we have spent a lot of money, almost 80 million pounds, and if we take Di Maria, it will be 90 million pounds." Then, let's not rush the deal, take our time, throw everyone out, and when the new season is about to start, I will speak and pretend to take back the transfer rights, and then we can pretend to be angry and have to buy people, and make an offer to Suarez. With this series of transactions at the bottom, by that time, even if Suarez sells for 15 million, they will feel that they have taken a big advantage, and we can save some money. ”

"I must say that you people who come out of Serie A do have more crooked brains than people in the Premier League when it comes to transfers."

Beside Li Bin, Levy sighed softly. This season, as the chairman of the team, he was deprived of the transfer operation right by Li Bin. He was still a little worried that Li Bin would operate indiscriminately, so that the team would lose a lot, but after seeing Li Bin enter the market from a high profile, buy the old department that negotiated the price after speculation, and provoke Bayern to snatch Neuer by playing a transfer battle with Milan, and after the price of the player was speculated, he pretended to be a transfer failure, bought the player in a low-key manner, and waited until the last moment to buy the most difficult imposition - this series of actions made Levy very admired.

The biggest problem with buying 10 people in one go is that it is very likely that after buying one or two, the other players will all increase the price - the more you want to buy, the more others will increase the price, this is the law of the market. However, Li Bin's operation is very clever to arrange the order, through the different order of buying, so that the team buys people without spending too much money, this is the science of transfer. In the transfer market, how to operate to make the player's value lower, this is quite a brain-consuming thing, to be able to string together so many transfers, Levi asked himself that he couldn't do it.

"It's normal. Although everyone is competing for transfers, your Premier League transfer is still too straightforward. For you, it's just an offer, if it doesn't work, raise the offer, if it doesn't work, dig into other people's corners, poach players, poach coaches, poach management - these are too childish. In comparison, on the Serie A side, the difference between a joint ownership, a letter of intent and a formal contract is enough to make the team in the Premier League big, not to mention how troublesome the multi-party role of the agency in Serie A, management, and coaching staff is, and the professional division of labor is fine, compared with a team manager who is fully responsible here, it is much more difficult to do business there. The more you see, the more you can do. ”

Li Bin still has half a sentence, which is left in his heart: compared with the Premier League, most of the undisciplined operation methods in Serie A are also a big problem. Galliani, Moggie and those people may not be much better than Ferguson, but when it comes to pulling down his face, throwing away the discipline, and using shameless means to operate the transfer, Ferguson can only kneel. The entire Serie A league is a place that is not necessarily the Premier League, Liverpool and Manchester United can not communicate in the Premier League for 50 years, but it is the norm for Milan to buy players from time to time, the Premier League coaches will communicate with each other to see who sees the right player for each other, Ferguson can also give advice to Lao Lei, but on the other side of Serie A, it is not allowed to find a back account if they pit each other - in that undisciplined place, the knowledge of transfer is very deep, and the transfer policy learned there is pediatrics everywhere.

"Now that people have bought almost everything, there is no need to rush anymore. Anyway, there is no European Championship to play this year, just enough time, I need to train with the team now, what you need to do, is to sell the people in the team who are not needed, and return the funds - I don't need to teach you this, right? ”

Levy nodded - he is not good at buying people, and he is good at selling people.

After buying a number of players in a row, Tottenham are in no hurry to realise their $100 million declaration. Instead, they quickly ended their feud with Liverpool and quickly sold Robbie Keane to Liverpool. Liverpool's payment of £19 million, even less than the rumours in the previous paragraph, also made everyone immediately aware of a very important problem: after a series of large imports of players, perhaps Tottenham's finances are also in trouble.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with this idea: soon, Tottenham also began to sell players, and the rotation players in their squad were all at a good level in the Premier League, and now they suddenly began to sell outwards, and many teams began to come here to coax. Except for Berbatov, who has not yet sold it, the other Kaboul, Zokola and others have all been sold soon.

However, until this time, Manchester United's offer for Berbatov has not increased much. The offer of 26 million pounds, they have always held on to it and refused to rise again. Although Tottenham has also contacted many other buyers, others are not as high as the price offered by Ferguson.

"I guess only Ferguson and Arsene Wenger really understand my series of buying and selling methods." Li Bin also said to Levy about this, "Wenger is poor, and he is a mortal enemy, let's not talk about him for the time being, that old guy from Ferguson has lived a long time and has seen a lot of the world, and it is not easy to get him." It's really not good, it's just a cheap shot, anyway, it's useless to stay, it's better to send it to harm Manchester United. ”

Levy also deeply agrees with this: as the chairman of a Premier League team, his fear of Ferguson is innate, and he does not dare to fight too hard with Ferguson. 26 million is not less, and he also wants to sell it and put the finishing touches on the summer transaction.

However, at this time, a new quotation was placed on Levy's desk, and at the same time, it also appeared in the media.

"Manchester City's 34 million pounds, offer Berbatov - it seems that Tottenham, the pseudo-tyrant, is no longer good, the real tyrant, do it!"
