"We want to sell people? I haven't said that we want to sell people." Li Bin was a little confused. Levi had always been very smart, so he would not suddenly become confused at this time and want to do this without telling Li Bin.

Things.

Li Bin knew that Levi was a very shrewd businessman. His ability to negotiate business was not weak, and he could even be said to be very greedy. Therefore, Li Bin did not interfere in the club's transactions, but he did not expect that Levi would suddenly

Said the club wanted to sell people.

"It's not that we want to sell, it's that the players have to leave." Levi said helplessly, "Kolarov submitted a transfer application and wants to leave."

Li Bin did not expect this person to leave. There are several people in the Tottenham team who cannot play in the game and may want to leave. Li Bin also knows this, but Kolarov? How could he be the first to want to leave?

?

"We treat him well. He has always been the absolute main force when I use him..."

"Manchester City poached him." Levi said immediately, "The salary they gave us is impossible for us to match."

Li Bin raised his eyebrows and shook his head slightly, "That makes sense. Money can make all the difference, and Manchester City has this ability."

Manchester City's current left back is very poor, and Li Bin also knows it. However, in my memory, Manchester City was poaching Arsenal. I didn't expect that this guy Mancini would set his sights on himself. This guy really regarded North London as his.

There are youth training camps. There are many people in both teams now. When he needs people, he will come to get them...

Recently, Kolarov was injured and applied to go to the United States for medical treatment. Li Bin did not object and even helped him contact people to see him for medical treatment. But who knew that while he was recuperating, he hooked up with Manchester City.

“How much did Manchester City offer?”

"They quoted £18 million - not low."

It is indeed not low, but it is not too high either. Li Bin knows better than others that players at the left back position will not be devalued. If you want to play this position well, you must play it with a left-footed player. People who can play it themselves

There are very few. In addition, the footwork and running ability are required, so there are too few people who are willing to play left back, and even fewer who are good at it. There are good players in this position, and spending more money is not a loss anyway.

Yes, Mancini was born in Italy after all.

, he also knows the stories of those left backs in Italian history, so he is willing to pay for this position. And the money is not wrong: Li Bin bought someone, spent a year running in, and adapted to the Premier League.

If he buys again, he will certainly not suffer a loss. Moreover, Kolarov is not only a left back, but also has free kick skills, which can make up for Manchester City's shortcomings in set kicks. He spent a sum of money to buy two players.

Manchester City's business has been shrewd.

However, Li Bin was a little unhappy because he was poaching people like this. He was also thinking in his mind about how to plot against Mancini and let him know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

"You can make the deal yourself. I don't know if the price can be higher." Li Bin thought for a while and said nothing more. Although he felt that Mancini's psychological price might be higher - Manchester City,

However, he thinks it is better to keep silent. The current Tottenham management does not interfere with his coaching, and he should not interfere with the management's business.

"Apart from him, Darren Bent wants to leave. He has no main position and is not from our youth training, but now he is in good condition and wants to compete for the World Cup. Moreover, he said that he is an Arsenal fan

, don’t want to play for Tottenham…”

"Why didn't I remember that I was an Arsenal fan before?" Li Bin sneered, "With his technical characteristics, no matter how hard he works, there is no way that Capello will like him. This effort is in vain, but... someone

Do you want him?"

"Aston Villa wants to buy, but the offer is a bit low, only 15 million. We bought it for 16.5 million, we can't sell it cheap, I have to let them raise the price again. When you are being interviewed outside, don't

He said he was no longer in the plan, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to sell it at a high price.”

15 million is not low. Li Bin said in his heart. For a substitute forward who basically has no football, and his level is unbearable, 15 million is not low? His level is as high as Ligue 1.

Anyone who wants 5 million has to be from a minor league. For 15 million, you can buy a very good player at this price.

The household registration book is really useful. A household registration book was exchanged for 10 million yuan... However, in Li Bin's memory, it seems that Darren Bent was once fired to a net worth of more than 1 million yuan.

I have to sigh, the Premier League is really magical.

"Apart from them, Dawson is also leaving. He basically has no chance and doesn't want to stay. He hasn't played football for a long time and has many injuries, so his worth may not be high. Apart from these few people, no one wants to leave.

The main players are all fighting for fame. The economic crisis has just passed this summer, the transfer market is chaotic, and there are few buyers. And most of our substitutes are from youth training, so loyalty is not a problem. Especially with the Champions League, they will not

Let’s go.”

The last sentence is the key point - the tax policy in the UK is very weird. Taxes are collected when playing domestically but not when playing abroad. Players do not need to pay taxes when playing away games in the Champions League. Therefore, when players hear about the Champions League, they

You will be happy.

However, even so, it is still good for Lennon, Janus, Ledley King, Hoddlestone and Boateng to stay.

Li Bin didn't have anything to say to the people who left. Dawson would be listed by him even if he didn't leave. Darren Bent's salary was also a bit high. If he stayed, it would be a household registration. If he wanted to leave, he wouldn't want to stay.

.It's just a pity that Kolarov left. Although Li Bin had other preparations for the left back, his original intention was to let Kolarov stay for another season to lead the young people - the left back will not depreciate in value.

——Leaving now would somewhat disrupt his plan.

But this is something that must be faced. When the team's level is high, it will definitely be poached. This is inevitable. Now it is Kolarov, and the next one may be Neuer, maybe Thiago Silva.

, it could be Yaya Toure, Gustavo, Suarez - anyone is possible. Li Bin's luck is actually good. There has been an economic crisis in the past two years. Most of the wealthy clubs are not rich. Otherwise, his team

It is impossible for a team to face such a small number of poachers.

"If we sell three people, then we will definitely have to make more signings - can I ask, how much will I get for this year's transfer fee?"

"As agreed, the net investment is 30 million, and the seller can get about 40 million. The board of directors will not ask for a penny from you. You can invest 70-80 million in the transfer market. However, the board of directors believes that,

We will play in the Champions League next season, and if we don’t have enough money, we can add more.”

"I don't know if it's enough, let's do the math." Li Bin thought for a while and said, "We will definitely have to replenish our manpower next season. We will have at least three lines next season, 38 games in the league and the FA Cup.

The League Cup and the League Cup are not the focus, they add up to ten games, which is 48 games. Then the Champions League has to have about ten games..."

"Ten games?" Levi asked rhetorically.

"To qualify from the group, you have to play at least eight games. To advance to the quarterfinals, you have to play ten games. I didn't count too much, the number is about the same. 58 games, plus a Super Cup, it's almost 60 games. This

I don’t think the depth of the bench can last for 60 games this season, we have to increase the thickness.”

There are many games in the Premier League and the intensity is high. After 60 games in a season, it is unlikely that the same team can play. Last season, Tottenham did not play in Europe and only played in the league and FA Cup. In the winter, they were exhausted and had no choice but to play.

We can only survive without adding defenders in the winter. This is because the thickness is not enough, which consumes a lot of money for Chelsea. Villa takes away the points. Next game

It is impossible to add ten more games to the season without replenishing the thickness of the bench. Of course, Li Bin knows that Barcelona in La Liga has set a record of 19 people playing 67 games in a season, but Li Bin believes that it must be someone with great luck.

Only in this way can one person be injured in one season. If he is asked to continue playing 60 games with 23 people next season, he will definitely not do it.

In this regard, he had to seek the club's opinion: the more players there were, the higher the salary would be. Tottenham had to express their consent to Li Bin's expansion of players and increase in salary.

Fortunately, Levi understood this truth, and he readily agreed to Li Bin's request to buy someone.

"First of all, we sold Dawson and only had three central defenders. After selling Kolarov, we only had Jerome Boateng. This way the defenders were too thin and we had to make up for the defenders. The left back

One, one for center back, another for Tiger Balm, three defenders are about the same, and then we will promote Wall from the youth team to the first team.

As a substitute, we have nine defenders. This is almost enough. There is no departure in the midfield. Moreover, I want to bring back Ramsey, who is on loan, to play as an attacking midfielder. This is basically enough. I will add more

A wide player, a rotation, and at the same time expanding the way of playing football, is almost enough. And the forward line..."

"Do you have to add a lot?"

"The key is not how much to add, but who to add. Cavani and Suarez are our absolute main players. Even next season, I may play as a lone striker. Both of them have to have a substitute. The person I bought is only

Being able to play as a substitute makes it difficult to buy someone. And

And my idea is to buy three people, a high center forward, a small shadow forward, plus a fast counterattack forward, so that we can have more changes in routines. However, it is not easy to find candidates, too poor

It’s useless, and good people are not willing to make iron benches.”

It is common sense that substitute players are difficult to buy. Tottenham are in a very stable situation now, and if they want to buy more players, they must be substitutes. But if you are willing to play as a substitute, they are usually veterans or low-level players. Tottenham Hotspur

Now it's not enough to attract veterans, and Li Bin looks down on those with low levels, so this becomes a problem.

"You look for it slowly. If you don't have enough money, just talk." Levi said, "Is it too much? It's okay to add another ten million."

Li Bin nodded. He knew that Tottenham were stimulated by entering the Champions League and were very ambitious. In fact, the results in the Premier League in the past two years were so good that Tottenham did not dare to bear the reputation of being unfavorable in the European war.

-If they really do that, the Football Association will blackmail them to death. If you don't ask too much, you won't be eliminated from the group. This is Tottenham's minimum requirement.

However, he also knew that Tottenham's expenses over the years had been good. This year, he originally wanted to make up his mind to strengthen the lineup again and increase the thickness of the bench. Therefore, he nodded politely and agreed.

"Three were sold, but these are the eight that need to be brought in... But I am still thinking about a third goalkeeper. I heard that Manchester United is selling youth training players, Ziller from Germany. We can try to buy him.

If it doesn't work, try Newcastle's Given, who is exempt from the visa. If it doesn't work, forget it. Anyway, it's just the third goalkeeper. David Burton can also be used." Li Bin added, "In this way, our number will be approximately close to 100% next season.

Thirty people, this thickness is enough."

30 people, 60 games - taking into account injuries and status, this is about the same thickness. The framework was set up in the first season, and in the second season, it was time to add personnel.
