Chapter 399 Fifteen Million Pounds, Price of 1

"In fact, I always pay attention to the current situation and development of the team, and I understand Sir Alex Ferguson's current thoughts. You know, I have never broken my promise on financing signings, but the fact that the club is burdened with heavy debts has restricted the football team. The team further replenishes its strength."

"Not long ago, I appointed former banker Woodward as the club's chief executive to carry out management work side by side with CEO Gill, in order to give Manchester United a better plan."

"I think if Sir Alex can make some adjustments in the first-team squad, £20 million should still be enough."

Glazer was like a bombshell, instantly causing madness within Manchester United.

However, after Ferguson found out about this interview, he immediately felt that Glazer was a pig. The publication of his remarks would only do harm to Manchester United but no good. If Ferguson really wants to buy someone, who knows he already has 20 million pounds in hand. Even if he wants to sell someone, he will open his mouth and raise the price...

So he thinks Glazer is stupid.

In fact, he never asked for a transfer fee of 30 million pounds, he just said it was high on purpose. Glazer can say 20 million pounds is already very impressive. According to his assumptions, it would be good if he could get another 15 million pounds.

After selling the existing players and adding subsidies from the boss, 20 million pounds is indeed enough for him to buy people.

However, Ferguson still had to bite the bullet and cooperate with the pig boss, because he really wanted to deal with some players and free up funds.

So when the "Manchester Evening News" asked for confirmation of his statement, Ferguson said: "As long as a suitable offer is received, Manchester United may make a move."

Then, to Ferguson's great surprise, he actually received offers from other clubs, and Everton came to pursue Saha's idea.

Saha has been on the bench for a long time at Manchester United. There is no problem in selling Saha, but Everton's offer made Sir Alex very depressed, which was 7 million pounds.

Saha is less than 28 years old, and his price of 7 million pounds is simply a bargain. Ferguson paid £12.8 million for him from Fulham in January 2004.

Not to mention recovering the capital, he must have 10 million pounds, so he flatly rejected Moyes's purchase request. Everton and Moyes had to show some sincerity, but Everton could not spend such a large sum of money. This is not Everton's style. Ferguson thought about it and felt that it would be difficult to make this deal.

Then he broke the news in the Manchester Evening News that he rejected Everton's offer of 7 million euros for Saha.

This can at least attract the attention of other clubs. As long as other clubs continue to make offers, it will be successful.

But everyone knows that Manchester United is short of money, and no one came forward for three days. No club made another offer until the FA Cup rematch with Bolton Albion. Obviously he was disappointed.

Although Saha may have been dissatisfied with throwing him into the transfer market, Ferguson bravely put Saha into the lineup against Bolton Albion. Generally, players who are listed will face the game with a negative attitude, but Ferguson is not afraid. Unless Saha wants to sit on the bench at Manchester United, otherwise he should perform well and try to attract other clubs.

Ferguson made the right bet. Playing as a substitute at home and beating Bolton Albion 5-0, Saha scored a hat-trick to help Manchester United advance to the next round of the FA Cup.

"Such a good striker, 7 million pounds?" Ferguson began to promote Saha at the post-match press conference.

For a Manchester United striker who can perform a hat-trick, £7 million is certainly not excessive. This must be what Everton coach Moyes wants to hear...

At the same time, Ferguson officially made an offer for Michael Carrick to Tottenham Hotspur.

Michael Carrick, who is less than 25 years old, also became famous at a young age. Carrick, who debuted in the West Ham United youth academy, scored a goal on behalf of West Ham United in the FA Youth Cup at the age of 16, and then became famous in one fell swoop until he joined in 2004. Tottenham Hotspur is on Ferguson's radar.

After playing for Tottenham for a year and a half, Ferguson finally couldn't help but ask Tottenham for Carrick...

However, the price offered by Tottenham Club really made Ferguson blush. Tottenham Club's attitude was very firm. There was no problem in selling Carrick, but it would have to cost 20 million pounds.

"It's so dark!"

Ferguson wanted to curse, but then he thought of the idiot Glazer.

You know, Carrick only spent 2.75 million pounds when he transferred to Tottenham a year and a half ago. Now Tottenham club wants 20 million pounds, which is like a vampire bat.

Ferguson would be a fool to spend this money. Besides, he doesn't have it, unless Everton buys Saha first, but buying Saha is not enough.

He believed that Carrick's abilities were worth that much, but he didn't want to pay that much...

Originally, he had another candidate, Hargreaves, but this guy not only represents Bayern in the Champions League, he will not be able to represent Manchester United in the Champions League this season, and his price is ridiculously high, so Kary Gram is the most appropriate.

Then, he sat at the negotiation table seriously and discussed the possibility of Carrick's transfer with Tottenham. On the other hand, he was also paying attention to Everton's movements at any time.

So far, no other club has made an offer to Manchester United for Saha, only Everton.

Ferguson felt extremely unlucky.

There are less than 10 days left before the transfer period, and the Double Red Club is coming soon. He is increasingly thirsty for Carrick.

As time went by, "The Sun" revealed the news that Ferguson was interested in Carrick. Perhaps it was the rumor released by Tottenham Club itself. This means that he has no advantage if he wants to negotiate the price with Tottenham.

At this time, Moyes took the initiative to call Ferguson and asked for Saha again.

Don't think that Moyes looks honest, but he is very professional. While Manchester United wants funds to buy Carrick, Moyes still won't increase the price to buy Saha. Let me ask you whether Ferguson is for sale!

Moyes is taking advantage of the situation...

"Martin and Moyes are really crazy!" Carrick couldn't buy what he wanted and wanted to get rid of Saha, which made Ferguson feel very bad. He didn't like that his fate depended on other people's injuries.

But after he calmed down, he planned to resolve Saha's problem with Moyes first.

"Eight million pounds, a dollar is a lot. If you want it, take the money and take it away!"

"Don't talk to me about £7 million, I can give up on Carrick completely."

Moyes knew that Sir Alex was serious and he had already pushed Sir Alex into a desperate situation.

Then he nodded sincerely.

After that, Saha was dumped by Sir Alex Ferguson. All he needed was for Saha to nod and negotiate a contract with Moyes...

With these 8 million, plus the additional 10 million provided by the club owner, he had a showdown with Tottenham head coach Martin Joel.

"15 million pounds, fixed price."
