After Downing's transfer was basically finalized, Wansheng was like a reassurance. After the wing is added, the whole team's lineup framework is basically complete, and some corners can be added.

So he waved his hand and began to clear people.

The addition of Bergkamp and Ozil has made the front court have no worries, so the two veterans Andy Cole and Robbie Fowler are basically useless.

Andy Cole is old, his contract expires at the end of July, and it is okay to transfer freely without renewing his contract, Robbie Fowler still has to think about it more, because Fowler is in good shape, and it still has a little effect on the team, but in the end Wan Sheng decided to sell him. With Nicolas Anelka, Darren Bent and Bergkamp up front, as well as Mesut Ozil, David Silva, Ivan Crewe and others who can complement the forward position, Robbie Fowler will have a hard time playing in the new season.

Manchester City FC and Robbie Fowler's agent wrapped it up for a bit, and then the agent relayed Wan Sheng's meaning.

Robbie Fowler understands very well that professional football is what it is, that he is older and that the team has better options, and he has to leave.

Manchester City FC still treats Robbie Fowler very favorably, they did not negotiate with other clubs, but the two sides terminated the contract freely, Robbie Fowler can leave on a free transfer, and he can get a high-priced contract at a new club.

Where Robbie Fowler goes after the termination has nothing to do with Manchester City FC.

In fact, Robbie Fowler breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard the club say that he was going to terminate his contract, and he has been thinking about leaving in the summer, because he also knows that there is no place for him in the team, especially when he hears about the addition of Bergkamp and Ozil, considering that Bergkamp is more famous than himself, and the head coach Wan Sheng is very good at important young players, even if he stays, there will not be much playing time in the new season.

So he considered whether to leave, but was still a little hesitant. After all, he has been at Manchester City for a few seasons and has a lot of affection for it.

When Manchester City decided to terminate his contract, Robbie Fowler exhaled a long sigh of relief, and at the same time he did not worry about leaving home, because Liverpool has always wanted him to return to Anfield, and it is completely acceptable to leave Manchester City than to return to Anfield, not to mention, he can also get a satisfactory contract on a free transfer to Liverpool.

After deciding to terminate the contract with Andy Cole and Robbie Fowler. Wan Shengqing's pace continues, Championship side Gillingham want to loan a striker, Wan Sheng recommended the youngster Miller over.

"This is the talented striker we focus on developing, it's just that Manchester City doesn't have a place for him for the time being."

He said so.

Gillingham was also a rival of Derby County, Wan Sheng knew the club well, and their manager Peloso and Wan Sheng were also familiar with it, so Gillingham chose Miller, and the loan contract negotiations went well, and finally the two sides finalized the loan of Miller for one year. Gillingham is responsible for paying Miller's salary and giving City €300,000 on loan, with the only condition that Gillingham have the right of first refusal and purchase of Miller.

Wansheng agreed to Gillingham's request. The most important thing is that Miller is a player, his potential is really low, and he is not the kind of player who is very hard-working, so it can be said that he is not determined. There is nothing special about it, and with a year of training with City's first team, the improvement is not noticeable. It's no wonder that there is no Miller's name in the memory of his previous life.

Miller can only be said to be a qualified striker, not outstanding at all, but in the Championship, Miller can still play well.

Wan Sheng solved the three strikers in the front court in one go, old and young, so that many people couldn't understand it.

Although Andy Cole, Robbie Fowler and Miller are not players in their playing years and are unlikely to sell for a high price, they are actually doing well, and even if they can't play the main team at Manchester City, it is still possible to add depth to the bench.

The newly added 'Ice Prince' Bergkamp is a little too old and certainly cannot be the main force, Ozil is a young player with little experience, and even if he has potential, it will take a while to grow up, so will Manchester City be partnered by Anelka and Darren Bent as a double striker in the new season?

What a joke!

So many people can't understand it.

In fact, Wan Sheng's idea is very simple, his team does not have an absolute main force, and then in the second striker position, Bergkamp, David Silva, Ozil and others can be competent, and more importantly, in the team's tactics, the player is not a fixed position, and there is no so-called 'shadow striker', 'second striker' concept, as for the double striker partnership is impossible to talk about.

Even if the formation is still 442, if it is really played, the second striker is likely to run behind more than the midfielder, so this position, as long as the players who are integrated into the tactical system can be competent, even if there is an absolute main force, it is meaningless.

In addition, Wan Sheng also has an idea, that is, to try a new formation in the new season, the old 442 can play a good power, but it is not the most suitable for the team's tactics, he wants to try a single striker or even no striker, if the team can adapt to the stage of no striker, then the tactical system can be regarded as truly complete, so as to maximize the tactical advantage.

However, there is still one more instability to be solved in the current team.

Thinking of this unstable factor, Wan Sheng also frowned slightly, that was Anelka's problem.

Anelka is a very good player, after a year of training, his ability is not much worse than Henry, and he is at the peak of his career, but his character is a serious problem, and at other times Wansheng doesn't mind selling him, but it is not easy to find a striker with the same strength as Anelka in the transfer market, which requires a high price, and even 20 million pounds may not be able to buy, after all, famous stars are not something that can be bought with just money, especially the kind of forwards who have strength and are famous, The price is even more staggering, and it will not be easy to convince them to join Manchester City.

So Anelka is still very important.

In the middle of last season, Anelka proposed a high salary, but Wansheng directly rejected it at that time, and now it is time to consider it.

Now Anelka's salary is also the highest in the team, but the weekly salary is only 10,000 pounds higher than the second-highest paid Dunn, which is still within an acceptable range, and at the same time, Anelka and Morris are also the most famous and important players in the team.

Wan Sheng revealed the meaning to Bill Nix.

Billy Nix is very cheerful. However, the problem is still money, if Anelka and Morris are renewed at the same time, each of them is expected to have an extra £1 million per year, and the annual wage expenditure is expected to be almost £3.5 million higher (the club's budget includes taxes), then at least £5 million more budget space will be enough, and this £5 million will definitely have to be deducted from the summer transfer fee.

£5 million in exchange for stabilizing two of the most important players, the deal is worth it, and after buying Downing, the team does not need to add any heavyweight players. So Wan Sheng still agreed

Nicolas Anelka, his brother Claude and agent Eric Manasse are also in discussions about whether to stay at Manchester City.

Claude insisted that Anelka should go to a more prestigious club, and with last season's performances, many clubs have expressed interest in Anelka and are willing to pay a high price for him, including Inter Milan and Chelsea. Chelsea are better, Inter Milan are much more attractive than Manchester City, especially with the 'phonegate' scandal in Italy that is now in full swing, and Juventus and AC Milan are almost certain to face severe penalties. There are even rumours that they will both be 'relegated', and Inter Milan are almost the undisputed champions of the Italian Serie A next season.

When you arrive at Inter Milan, you are equivalent to entering a big club, and at the same time, you can win the league championship with the team. Inter Milan also promised to offer Anelka a bigger contract, a temptation that Anelka was very tempted to make.

But Eric Manasse opposed Anelka's departure.

"Remember Phillips last season? He thinks Chelsea is good, Chelsea is strong, there are many stars, and he is offered a big contract. But he's struggling to even play now, and last season was also Manchester City's title, so he didn't get anything there. ”

'Everything is going in a good direction at Manchester City right now. That Chinese coach is very capable and uses you very much, you should stay at Manchester City. If you want to transfer, you will have to wait until this time next year. ”

"Nikolai, it's hard for you to play in the French national team!"

The last sentence moved Anelka, because the national team coach Domenech did not pay much attention to him, mainly because he had too little performance in the league, and he had not participated in European competitions in recent years, coupled with the fact that the striker had to compete with Henry, it was difficult for him to play in the French national team.

If you move to Inter Milan and are treated like Wright Phillips, what if you get a bigger contract?

So it's more stable to stay at Manchester City, at least he's the absolute mainstay, and Manchester City can participate in Europe next year, there are still plenty of opportunities to perform, maybe his career can usher in a second peak?

He had some expectations.

But the contract was still very important and the final trio agreed that if Manchester City gave Anelka a raise, Anelka would stay, otherwise he would choose to leave for Inter Milan

This was the case when Manchester City informed Claude of a new contract for Anelka, and the two sides almost hit it off without any delay.

Claude is a profiteer, his asking price is still a bit high, he even asked Anelka for a salary contract with the same treatment as Wansheng, but this is impossible, Manchester City has only one Wansheng, a manager, his salary is the highest, everyone has no objection, if Anelka's salary is higher, the other players will definitely not be satisfied, because it is much higher than the average salary of the team.

The two sides began to argue about it, and in the end, Anelka was offered a big contract with an annual salary of £4.3 million.

This is not as good as Wansheng's salary, but it also reaches an average weekly salary of 83,000 euros, almost close to Ruud van Nistelrooy's 84,500 pounds at Manchester City, which is enough to squeeze into the top 15 weekly salaries of professional players.

At this point, Claude was satisfied.

Anelka is also happy with the new contract, although the salary is not as good as Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho and others, but this contract is undoubtedly the top, and the only ones who have just signed for Chelsea, such as Ballack, Frank Lampard, John Terry, and Rio Ferdinand of Manchester United and Steven Gerrard of Liverpool, are even higher than him.

Bill-Nix, who negotiated the contract with Claude, gritted his teeth, Claude is indeed a vampire, and the way he negotiated the contract was like selling his own brother, but fortunately, the contract was agreed upon, and there was no need to worry about it.

None of this has anything to do with Wansheng.

In any case, Anelka's new contract is still within the reach of Manchester City, and Anelka's performance is not much worse than Henry's, so he is still acceptable to get this contract.

The other one is Maurice.

Compared to Anelka's agent vampire-like acts, Morris is much better, his current agent is Kevin Tagore, after serving as Wansheng's agent, he has made a name for himself in this industry, and relying on Wansheng's relationship, he has also signed several stars, Morris and Alfred, Burton Reiter, and Ferdinnan, who also play for Derbyshire, are all players under him.

Kevin Tagore is an old acquaintance of Manchester City FC, he is Wansheng's agent, Bi Nix is quite polite to him, and the contract is very simple, but Kevin Tagore will also try his best to fight for the interests of his players, Morris is the team's 'second' star, this' The reason for the second is that his performance is no worse than Anelka, and he is more important than Anelka in the team, but because he has only emerged in the past two years, his reputation is naturally not as good as that of Anelka, who is a teenager, but in terms of negotiating a new contract, he still has to compare with Anelka, and the final contract finalized by the two sides has an annual salary of 3.8 million pounds, and the average weekly salary has also reached 73,000 pounds.

This means that Morris has also entered the top salary bracket of professional footballers.

Manchester City FC and Anelka, Morris renewed, or received unanimous praise from the media and fans, the two of them play and useless doubts about the role of the team, one is the leading goalscorer, the other is the core midfielder, the two complete the contract renewal, Manchester City will not have any major changes.

At this time, Wan Sheng still has a transfer fee of nearly 15 million pounds in his hand, and the team has nothing more than demand, he is considering giving a salary increase to several young people, as well as some outstanding players, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, after all, Anelka, Morris have all got big contracts, David Silva, Darren Bent and others, who performed well last season, must also have a salary increase, especially the team's results are so good, there are too many clubs that want to get these young talents, which is also a very distressing problem, if you don't give them a raise, The players will definitely have other thoughts in their minds.

Therefore, this process of raising salaries is still necessary, so that the transfer funds in Wansheng's hands have directly shrunk to the extent of less than 10 million pounds, and it is very difficult to buy famous and outstanding stars.

Fortunately, Wansheng didn't plan to buy any big-name stars.

After this series of salary increases, the original team has basically stabilized, and he only needs to add depth to the bench, or find some potential young players to join.

The next position that the team needs to add is the backline.

However, the main defensive four-man combination is already available, and there are also 'jack-of-all-trades' Sun Jihai and Ricardo Costa to supplement the lineup, the only problem is that the bench depth needs to be supplemented, and Wansheng still gives preference to young players in this regard, because young players have enough patience and reasons to be on the bench to train, and the transfer fee is much less.

He remembered a great German defender, his name was Boateng.

So Wan Sheng approached the club's scouts and asked them to find out Boateng's details and recent performances.

At the same time, Wansheng received an exciting news.

His paper 'The Connection Between Human Movement and Physical Recovery' attracted a certain amount of attention after it was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

This emphasis is still radiating.

In today's British Medical Journal, Richard Smith, one of the UK's top medical experts, spoke highly of this professional paper, and his original words in an interview were, "This is at least 20 years ahead of the current level of sports medicine, and it is a theoretical breakthrough in the application of sports medicine to medical treatment. )
