Chapter 256 Transfer Market
Beckham feels that this holiday is very happy. Since June, he has been living a life of filming movies during the day, reciting lines at night, and taking time to exercise.

In the middle, he went back to Carrington to practice a few free kicks. Ferguson caught him and poured out all the bitterness of this period.

"Eric is relieved, he is happy, and I have to find a replacement for him."

"Bryan came to me three days ago and said Blackburn invited him to coach. I said it was not the time, and he looked like I was killing him!"

Ferguson inquired about a world-class striker, but was rejected by the players before the club's offer. They did not intend to come to England with a cold and rainy climate.

In order to let Ferguson quit, the clubs to which these superstars belonged asked millions or even tens of millions of pounds, and the salary requirements, signing fees, and agent fees of the players were even more astronomical.

Some Italian clubs also have to enter into weird clauses such as the split of star ownership shares, forward shares, etc., let alone the English transfer regulations where Manchester United is located.

In the end, Ferguson finally understood that these transfers were ripping him off, so he had the backbone to terminate the foreign transfer negotiations.

When Ferguson said he was tired, Beckham started to practice free kicks, and when he started to rest, the old man spoke again.

"We are not incapable of paying a transfer fee of £1000 million, but our principles will not allow us to make mistakes.

Even if we can buy these players with huge transfer fees, it is difficult to meet their individual requirements.

If a precedent is set for one player and the salary structure is broken, it can spell trouble for the entire team.This not only destroys the team's salary balance, but also destroys the team's unity.

I think the team and the solid structure are more important than the role of individual players.The wages of some players have been sky-high, and even the agent has a 6-figure commission.Manchester United will not play this game! "

Beckham thought for a while and said: "If I had to make a choice, I would also stop the transfer negotiations. The current transfer initiative is not with us. It will definitely cost a lot of money to forcefully introduce world-class players."

Ferguson nodded: "Yes, I have withdrawn from the negotiations. If we want to introduce a striker, we can only turn our attention to the Premier League. What do you think of Teddy (Sheringham)?"

The name didn't surprise Beckham too much. He heard from Old John that the Sheringham of that world came to Manchester United this season.

And this player is someone the old man has been thinking about since 11 years ago. According to Old John, even if the player the old man wanted was not brought in when he was young, when the player's economic status declines, the old man will consider introducing them for rotation.

Old John told him that both Sheringham and Irving were like this, that Beckham couldn't get Irving, he could only look at Sheringham.

With the urgency of the Tottenham boss, even if Sheringham's contract has only one year left, they will put a high price in the transfer market.

Facing Ferguson's question, Beckham thought for a while and said: "Teddy is in good condition, but it is a waste to spend too much transfer fee to introduce him."

Ferguson stared darkly at Beckham and said, "And then!"

It was only then that Beckham realized that he had said something wrong. Ferguson hated others interfering in his choice.

Now that I have said it, I have to express my attitude. It is too late to be an ostrich.

Beckham decided to bite the bullet and express his opinion: "I think the center forward of Leicester City is good. He is very strong and helps the team's offense a lot."

Ferguson pondered for a while and said: "I arranged for someone to observe him specially, and they reported that he has almost no offensive ability, but"

Ferguson suddenly realized that whether the high center can score goals is not fatal to the team.

Because Beckham and Giggs have already proved his offensive power, and Keane's offensive power is not bad, it seems that the introduction of that young man is also possible.

"Well, your reason can be said in the past, let me think about it again."

Beckham was sure Ferguson was a bit upset and he hated being pushed around.

In the future, you must never speak casually in front of him, otherwise you will be targeted.
Of course, it is impossible for Ferguson to have any opinion on Beckham just because of these two sentences. You must know that the other party will be his backbone for the next 8 to 10 years, and he is the elite of his direct line.

In his eyes, Beckham is not just a passerby walking side by side on the road, he is someone who wants to go to the peak and see the world with him.

I agreed to make a movie, and talking about my views on transfers is simply a daily routine.

Ferguson also thought about introducing Heskey, but the kid's shot was too hip-footed, and he was basically not aggressive.

But he still listened to what Beckham said, Manchester United has no shortage of strikers.Cole, Solskjaer, Giggs, Beckham, even Keane and Scholes also need goals.

The introduction of a world-class striker can certainly solve many problems, but the world-class strikers in the market are not willing to play in England, so they can only focus on the England market.

And there are only a few good strikers in England. Shearer just moved to Newcastle last season, and Fowler is at rival Liverpool.

Apart from the two of them, the strength of the other candidates is even lower. Sheringham is not bad, but unfortunately he is already 31 years old.

Instead of choosing a player with average strength, it is better to find a player with top strength in a certain technical link.

When Ferguson returned to the office, he discussed with the coaching team the possibility of introducing Husky, and concluded that it was feasible.

Husky, who has Antigua blood, is 1 meters tall and extremely strong. With him as a battering ram, few central defenders can handle it.

What's more, he is not yet 20 years old, there is still room for improvement, and the price will not be too outrageous.

In fact, Ferguson is still more inclined to introduce Sheringham. Although Tottenham's top striker is 31 years old, he trains hard and lives a self-disciplined life.

If you continue to play at this pace, there should be no big problem in playing for another 3 years.

But the problem is that Tottenham's price tag for him is too high.

When Sheringham joined Tottenham, Venables took care of it. Later, when Tottenham Chairman Sugar checked his accounts, he found that all of this guy's financial transactions had problems.

Sugar angered Sheringham, and the two had long since disagreed. If the fans hadn't supported the England striker, he might have dealt with the latter a long time ago.

Sugar began to dislike Sheringham more and more. By this summer, Sugar pretended to agree to renew his contract with Sheringham, but he threatened Sheringham with a substantial salary cut.

Sugar put on an extremely arrogant expression, and said coldly to Sheringham, the most loyal Tottenham man: "This contract is only valid for 48 hours-you either accept it or get out."

Sheringham was a "cocky Londoner".No matter how loyal he was to Tottenham, he couldn't stand Sugar's humiliation. He tore up the contract on the spot and chose to leave.

Sheringham was thrown into the transfer market by Tottenham, and Shuger yelled that he would not sell it at a low price, "Sheringham is still a high-end product, he deserves the high transfer fee!"

Ferguson tried to make an inquiry to Tottenham, but the other party's attitude was very firm, 400 million pounds, not a penny.

Sugar grasped the current situation that Manchester United urgently needed forwards, not only sitting on the ground and raising the price, but also not allowing the other party to counter-offer.

For the chairman of Tottenham who treats players like commodities, Ferguson greeted his ancestors in private more than once, but there was nothing he could do.

After Beckham's recommendation and the coaching team's evaluation, Ferguson suddenly had an idea.

So he called to ask about the user experience of the team's backcourt players and Husky's matchup, and the conclusions he got were all bad reviews.

Now Ferguson knew what he was doing, and he took the time to accept an interview with the "Manchester Evening News" and praised Heskey.

Knowing that he was affirmed by Ferguson, Husky was overjoyed, and posted this evaluation on his personal social account that day.

This is the way English clubs introduce players. First express their love for players in the media and wait for the opponent's reaction.

A transfer is half the battle if the player is very positive.

So Manchester United immediately made an inquiry to Leicester City and disclosed the news to the media.

The news that Husky Manchester United was interested in him only posted a sentence on the social account: Dreams have come into reality!

Leicester City rejected Manchester United in the first inquiry. You must know that Heskey played 35 times in the league last season and scored 10 goals. He is the absolute main force of the team.

A club with a brain will not easily offer an offer to the absolute main players. This is a matter of attitude.

Losing important players is a morale-damaging thing, and it is impossible for them to make an offer to Manchester United.

Unsurprisingly, Leicester City's refusal immediately aroused Heskey's displeasure.

In an interview, he expressed his yearning for a big club. He expressed his gratitude to Leicester City for their training over the years, but he must promote his career.

Courting other clubs through the media is no big deal, and Husky's choice is easy to understand.

It is not difficult to choose between a newly promoted team who has just been promoted to the Premier League and the overlord of the Premier League on the other.

It is not easy for players from small clubs to be favored by big clubs. This kind of thing depends on ability and opportunity.

Manchester United's current lack of strikers is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. Once he misses it, Manchester United will buy a striker next time.

The Manchester United offer proved to be important to Heskey as John Sr said he waited until three years before moving to Liverpool.

Seeing that Manchester United focused on others, Tottenham chairman Sugar was anxious, and he began to sell Sheringham.

The first contact was Liverpool, thinking that coach Evans was a loyal fan of Sheringham, and he wanted to find a strike partner for Robbie Fowler.

Sheringham agreed to a transfer, but in the end the Liverpool board objected.They thought Sheringham was too old and canceled the deal directly.

This was a direct humiliation for Sheringham, which also planted the hatred between him and Liverpool.

Everyone thought that giving up Sheringham, what kind of player Liverpool would introduce.

The results were astounding, with Liverpool bringing in the 32-year-old Riedel from Borussia Dortmund.

The joining of the Bundesliga star Riedel became sensational news from the beginning.He is a German international at the same time as Klinsmann, and he also plays a forward position in the German national team.

He performed well in Dortmund last season, especially in the Champions League, and almost pushed Manchester United to a dead end.

People are amazed that Riedel is willing to come to the Premier League, and they are also surprised by the misunderstanding of Liverpool's management about age.

For this transfer, Ferguson is not optimistic. He thinks that Riddle is only 1 meters behind him, and his characteristic is high-altitude balls.

If he is a few years younger, he may be able to show a wave of operations with his jumping ability when he comes to the Premier League.

It's a pity that he is 32 years old. In this era, 32 years old means a rapid decline in state for a player.

Manchester United offered Leicester City a £150m bid, which was rejected.

Heskey was furious when he got the news. He said that the club should not sell him goods, but should consider his future.

Leicester City has not experienced this frequent situation in later generations. When Manchester United increased the transfer fee to 180 million pounds and gave Wes Brown a free loan for one year, Leicester City accepted it.

The news of Husky's transfer to Manchester United immediately ushered in the cynicism of the media. A topic can express everyone's mood: Husky = Cantona?

Everyone said that Husky has no way to replace the role of the king, but he and Ferguson have a common characteristic, that is, the iron head.

However, the transfer market has just begun, and everyone's evaluation of this transfer is only half-joking.

While everyone was still talking about Riddle and Heskey, Manchester United and Liverpool revealed major transfer news. Manchester United introduced Norwegian central defender Henning Berg from Blackburn, while Liverpool bought old Manchester United player Paul Ince from Inter Milan.

While the media was busy warming up for the Double Red Club, Arsenal was "dominant" in the transfer market. Wenger introduced 12 players in a row.
