Chapter 386: God Returns

Zhang Tiehan, 80 million euros.

Henry, 15 million euros.

This is a really big difference, although Henry is older than Zhang Tiehan, but his appearance is obvious to all, he and Zhang Tiehan are England's two most efficient strikers.

How big can the gap be?

Finally, an explanation from Manchester Sport answers the doubts of fans - according to FIFA regulations introduced last year, players who have reached the age of 23 can buy out their professional contracts from the fourth year after three years of service at the club.

In the case of Thierry Henry and Arsenal specifically, if Henry does not renew his contract by the end of the season, he only needs to pay out his annual salary (£3 million) to buy out his personal contract. In other words, if Henry reaches a transfer agreement with Barcelona (or other teams) and buys out his contract, Barcelona only needs to pay a small amount of liquidated damages to get Henry.

In fact, there is no so-called liquidated damages clause in Henry's contract with Arsenal.

Since Thierry Henry has been with Arsenal for more than 3 years, Barcelona (or theoretically any team) have the right to appeal to FIFA asking Arsenal to allow Henry to transfer. Once this happens, FIFA will directly arbitrate Henry's transfer fee (or compensation), which is worth 4 million euros and a maximum of "only" 15 million euros. This is also the reason why "Daily Sports" and "World Sports" said that "Barcelona only needs to spend 15 million euros at most to bring in Henry".

According to the reports of major European media, the speculation about Henry's transfer is even lower than 15 million euros.

For example, the Mirror said: "Henry's transfer is worth a maximum of £10 million. ”

Arsenal could only swallow tears in their hearts.

This news also made Liverpool fans glad that Zhang Tiehan had not played for Liverpool for three years, nor was he more than 23 years old, otherwise they would definitely have this kind of worry.

However, Liverpool are not worried about Zhang Tiehan's departure.

When a player's value is high enough to reach a certain level, he doesn't have to worry too much. After all, there are really few teams that can take Zhang Tiehan away from Anfield, and even if they take Zhang Tiehan away, they can also create a lot of benefits for Liverpool, and the only one who is really worried is the team's coach Benitez.

However, the Spaniard is not worried at this time, he has already discussed the issue with the president of the team, and the chairman of Liverpool has promised something. For example, when a certain number is not reached, the club will not consider selling Zhang Tiehan, which is really a bit scary, so Benitez is not worried at all.

If a team is willing to pay that level of transfer fee, even he has no reason not to let Zhang Tiehan leave.

What he is thinking about now is Zhang Tiehan's partner.

It's mid-March, and at this time, the European football media will start a new round of transfer hype, and in this regard, Liverpool is a bit tragic. Their players, including Steven Gerrard, Zhang Tiehan, Alonso, Garcia and many other outstanding stars, are all targeted for poaching, and the only other club player who has been linked to Liverpool is Robbie Fowler.

No, that's not true either, because Fowler is already part of Liverpool.

For loyal Liverpool fans, the name will definitely not be unfamiliar. Because Fowler was once the prince of Liverpool!

Robbie Fowler is 31 years old and a veteran. Growing up, I wanted to like Everton, not Liverpool. However, it was Liverpool's scouts who discovered Maxima, making him part of Liverpool's youth camp.

In 1994, the year Evans took over Liverpool, Liverpool underwent a major change, with the young Fowler and his friend McManaman putting Liverpool on the Premier League stage. No one thought of it. In his second game for the Reds, the fledgling Fowler scored all five of Liverpool's goals and catapulted to fame.

The incessant goalscoring of the genius killer Fowler immediately took his place as an idol - known as the position of the pride of the generation Rush and became the new favorite of Liverpool fans. He has a keen sense of smell in the penalty area and can shoot left and right. Possess great technique and be able to do anything you need to be a striker.

Fowler was once known as England's most gifted player since Gascoigne.

And the Reds, with Fowler, McManaman and Redknapp, are once again England's passion for the journey. People believe that the future belongs to them.

Before the 1998 World Cup, Fowler and Owen formed a Liverpool forward combination that terrified opponents.

It's a pity that at the World Cup that year, Fowler injured his cruciate ligament.

The injury was fatal for Fowler, who failed to appear at the World Cup in France with Owen due to a knee injury. Not only did he miss the World Cup, but more importantly, after the World Cup, England's future became another Liverpool genius overnight - Owen's, while the equally outstanding Robbie Fowler could only drag his injured thigh and watch others look infinite.

Fowler's form did not recover immediately after his comeback, and he could only focus on regaining the main position from Husky...... The lack of access to Houllier's eyes made Fowler very depressed.

In 1999, with his friend McManaman moving to Real Madrid, Fowler found that it might only be a matter of time before he left Anfield.

Robbie Fowler, the former Prince of Anfield, affectionately known by Liverpool fans as God's genius killer, finally shed the red robe that brought him countless glory after scoring 171 goals in 330 games for Liverpool, and officially moved to Leeds for £11 million.

However, a killer is always a killer, and genius is not so easy to wear.

Fowler scored his first hat-trick at Leeds United in December 2001; On 2 January 2002, Fowler scored his sixth goal in the month since Leeds United played West Ham United at home; On March 18, 2002, in the 2001-2002 Premier League, Fowler scored two goals in three minutes to help Leeds United win consecutive games, and it was also his 11th goal in the last 17 games......

However, the genius of jealousy could not have been more suitable for Fowler, and he soon fell in front of the pass of injury again.

Fowler missed most of the final season due to a hip injury, and he has rarely played in the Premier League. Even so, he was still able to contribute one goal after another and the applause of the fans to the team in a short and limited time.

God had molested Fowler for several years, but he still wouldn't let him go.

Leeds United's financial black hole has left the club with a significant number of player transfers, and outsiders like Fowler have certainly not been spared. At the age of 28, Fowler arrived in Manchester, perhaps the place he hated most in the Premier League.

During his time at Manchester City, he made 75 appearances and scored 27 goals. His position at Manchester City has also been difficult to secure, and constant injuries have ravaged the talented player who is about to pass his prime. Manchester City's main force has been occupied by the likes of Andy Cole and Vassell, and Fowler's appearances are becoming less and less. In fact, after that horrific injury in '98, Fowler didn't seem to be able to train fully for a season.

Fowler is now 31 years old......

Since Christmas, there have been media reports that Liverpool and Manchester City have reached an agreement thanks to the efforts of Liverpool CEO Parry and Chairman Perez: Robbie Fowler has rejoined Liverpool as a free agent.

But now it's mid-March, and even Zhang Tiehan has returned from injury, but Fowler has not yet come to Anfield to report.

Many Liverpool fans are looking forward to Fowler's arrival.

But they also know why Fowler didn't come to report, it was because of the injury, Fowler had a minor operation after Christmas, and he is still recuperating from his injury, as a 'glass man', Fowler really deserves sympathy.

Of course, we have to look forward to it!

So when Liverpool and Arsenal met on the third day, the day before the home game against Fulham, when Benitez held a press conference to announce Fowler's report to the media, all Liverpool fans finally got excited.

Liverpool fan sites and forums around the world devoted a lot of space to the news, and various celebrations were arranged to welcome the return of God. (To be continued......)
