What is a destructive midfielder?

Wenger wanted Li Kang to stay in North London for Christmas.

But the Arsenal coaching team was too busy.

What were they busy with?

The winter transfer window was about to open, and they were going to recruit players!

This season, the club has been unstoppable, and a series of comprehensive incomes such as commercial endorsements, advertising investment, broadcasting revenue, Champions League bonuses, etc. have also reached a historical peak!

According to the normal operating ideas in Europe:

The main purpose of winter recruitment is to strengthen the original lineup, and it is rare to spend a lot of money to buy top stars.

In the history of the Premier League, only a few superstars landed in the Premier League in the winter window, such as: Suarez, Torres, Henry.

During this historical period, Arsenal did not establish the position of sports director.

Wenger is the real manager.

But the club's top management has always wanted to weaken his power, and even publicly stated: "Arsenal is on the right track. We have achieved good results this season. This is the effect of power division! The club's structure must be more modernized to share Wenger's off-field responsibilities and power, so that we can win the championship!"

"Arsenal needs change!"

The coaching staff didn't care about these things.

According to Bould, it was purely out of boredom.

Wenger did not object. He only adhered to one principle when coaching Arsenal: the team should maintain independence.

Why do you like to sell the captain?

Then we have to mention one person: David Barry Charles Dunn.

Old Dunn lost money in all his businesses. The most correct investment in his life was to buy 14.58% of Arsenal's shares and become the club's vice president.

This guy is also very good at communication. He is the vice chairman of the English Football Association, the chairman of the European G14 Alliance, and has a series of rich titles.

In 1996, he went against all odds and fooled Wenger from Japan to London.

The two worked together.

One was responsible for winning, and the other was responsible for money.

Together, they created the prosperity of the Arsenal.

When he was in office, Arsenal won 3 Premier League titles, 4 FA Cup titles, and a Champions League runner-up.

Deng was a very nice person. In addition to giving Wenger the power to do his best, many Gunners players treated him as their father and gave him money for safekeeping.

When the club had no money, he waved his hand and sold the land to pay the players.

But he had ** blood in his bones.

He had a son - Deng.

Deng was the agent of most of Arsenal's core players during that period.

The story later was very complicated and confusing.

The final result was: Deng and the top management fell out because of the acquisition case. When he left Arsenal, Deng also started the "selling captain" operation.

Colney base, meeting room.

The Arsenal coaching team had a heated discussion.

"We still have three spots left on the roster."

"There are enough reserve players on the front line and the back line."

"In the winter transfer window, Arsenal needs to strengthen the midfield."

"A midfielder who can help relieve Li's pressure!"

The LED screen showed pictures and information of the players.

Boulder and the staff were frowning.

Where can I find a midfielder that can match Li?

Which ones are in the Spanish national team? David Silva, Isco, Saul, Koke. The club is unwilling to sell them.

We also need to consider the issue of Champions League registration. For example: Messi played in the Champions League for Barcelona this season. If he transfers to Arsenal in the winter window, he will not be able to represent the new team in the Champions League.

Wenger held the remote control and switched the big screen.

"Manchester United's Schneiderlin has weak passing ability and is prone to losing position in defense, but his interception data during his time at Southampton was very high. His running once froze players like Hazard. He grasped the foul scale very accurately and he could complete the exchange task very efficiently."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

When Koeman coached Southampton, the young player Schneiderlin almost made the Arsenal coaching staff cry.

It's right to buy him.

The success rate of signings is quite high: Schneiderlin does not fit Pogba and has few opportunities to play at Manchester United.

In short: abandoned child.

"Boss, how much are you going to spend? Last season, Manchester United spent 35 million on that kid!"

"On loan."

Wenger smiled and continued to press the remote control.

No one was shaking.

The player's head portrait switched on the big screen, causing everyone to exclaim.

"Manchester United's Schweinsteiger?"

"Boss, this guy is already 32 years old!"

"But his performance in the European Cup was really good, which caused a lot of trouble for Lee."

"I hope he can recover to the state of the 2014 World Cup final, um. Can limit Messi's peak state."

"He has been a die-hard Manchester United fan since he was a child, and he will not come to Arsenal!"

Wenger gently pressed down with both hands.

The venue was quiet instantly.

The Arsenal coach smiled and said: "Few people will refuse Arsenal's invitation, especially the stars who have played against Lee."

Schweinsteiger's career planning is simply a failure.

He joined Manchester United when its performance was at a low point, ready to turn the tide, but encountered various unfortunate events.

Now abandoned by Mourinho, he has been relegated to the reserve team.

The difficulty of loaning is very low.

The big screen slowly switched.

Wenger patiently explained to the coaching staff and absorbed their opinions.

"Why are they all Manchester United players?"

"Damn, Manchester United is really rich. The total amount of money spent on recruiting these abandoned players is almost 200 million, right?"

"Finally, there is a little black egg!"

"Russian Premier League? Zenit St. Petersburg?"

"Witsel?"

Pa pa pa.

Wenger signaled everyone to be quiet again.

"Witsel, he has a strong grasp of the overall situation and rhythm, a strong body, and balanced feet. He is an excellent all-round midfielder."

At this time, everyone realized that the club's winter transfer target is all top-level assistants who are good at doing dirty and tiring work.

The key is that the footwork is not bad, which is completely in line with Arsenal's passing and cutting system.

"Boss, how much are you going to spend."

"Loan."

Wenger roughly calculated the account.

Arsenal's comprehensive income this season will break historical records.

There is no rush to buy players for the time being.

The money must be saved until the summer window to buy superstars in their prime years.

"Boss, what is our budget for signings in the winter transfer window?"

"40,000 pounds."

"40 million pounds?"

"40,000 pounds."

"4 million pounds?"

"40,000 pounds, there is a little guy named Bramall, who is now playing for an amateur team in the seventh-level league. He is a full-time employee of Bentley and was recently laid off. Bring him to Arsenal. I admire his left foot."

Everyone was confused.

40,000 pounds?

The security guards at the training base can pay to buy people.

No one questioned Wenger's vision.

It is estimated that this 40,000 pounds will be multiplied by 100 or 200 times in a short time. The rate of return is comparable to that of Leverkusen's purchase of Lee.

The winter transfer window is in full swing.

The major European giants have not made any major moves for the time being.

One transfer news after another that shocked the world has made the Chinese Super League the focus.

The world's most expensive league?

Chelsea's 25-year-old main midfielder Oscar transferred to the Chinese Super League for 65 million.

Watford's 27-year-old main striker Ighalo transferred to the Chinese Super League for 30 million.

Villarreal's 27-year-old main striker Pato transferred to the Chinese Super League for 25 million.

"Beast" Tevez joined the Chinese Super League and his weekly salary topped the world.

The current stars of the five major leagues have all gone to the "world's sixth league".

Of course, the value of many local stars in the Chinese Super League has also exceeded the main players of the mid-level Premier League teams.

The winter window investment of two Chinese Super League clubs in a certain city alone exceeded 800 million euros, surpassing the entire Europe.

The number of comments has skyrocketed.
