In addition to Button, James Milner was seduced by Aston Villa.
Villa coach Martin O'Neill has always favored the new England favorite with excellent physical condition and tough style of play. He had already made an offer as early as 2005. If Newcastle's owner Sheffield at the time hadn't forcibly refused the deal at the last moment, maybe Aston Villa would have used 400 million pounds to take Milner away.
Although Aston Villa's league ranking is not as good as the Magpies this season, the team's finances have been very good after the acquisition by the American owner, and after James Milner was loaned to Aston Villa because he was unable to play the main force in Newcastle, it was Martin O'Neill's attention to trust that made Milner stand out. The Northern Ireland coach has a kindness to Milner!
Lured by a high salary and called by his mentor, Milner finally found Lao Li after the training, and told the whole story of the incident sincerely.
"Thank you very much for your frankness, James, I want to know your own thoughts..."
Li Tongfan's expression was much calmer than Milner imagined: "Are you willing to stay in the cheers of the Newcastle fans at St. James' Park, or are you more eager for the applause of the Aston Villa fans in Villa Park? I promised each of you on the first day I came to the team. I will not force any of you to stay after the end of the season!"
"I am willing to stay in Newcastle, but Mr. O'Neill agreed to provide a weekly salary of 7 pounds and guaranteed my absolute main position. If I can get all this in Newcastle..."
"It's impossible..." Li Tongfan quickly interrupted Milner and shook his head: "James, look, you are indeed an excellent player, very good! I also hope that you can stay here and continue to fight for Newcastle... But I am sorry, the team is currently experiencing difficulties, so next season can only provide you with a maximum weekly salary of 4 pounds, and... I cannot guarantee you an absolute main position!"
"In that case...then I need to think about it, sir!" Hearing Lao Li's answer, Milner's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and left Li Tongfan's office without hesitation!
Sitting on the chair behind the desk, Li Tongfan looked thoughtfully at the back of Milner leaving.
Considering that this young player has less than 2008 loyalty points in the FM50 system, it now seems inevitable that he will leave Newcastle.However, before Lao Li called Milner to the England national team, coupled with his wonderful performance on the court after a slight modification with FM-MM, his worth has risen to a level that can bring huge profits to Newcastle!
Even if you sell it for cash, you won't suffer a loss!
Sure enough, just one day later, Aston Villa offered 900 million pounds for James Milner just like Newcastle, but the content of this offer was obviously lower than Li Tongfan's expectations, so naturally they could not agree.After a brief negotiation between the two sides, Aston Villa, who are hungry for talent, got the main midfielder of England for the next ten years at a price of 1300 pounds.
1300 million pounds!
This money will be Li Tongfan's first income since he coached Newcastle!
Different from the furtive and strict secrecy when buying Crespo and Ronaldo before, after reaching an agreement with Aston Villa, the official website of the Newcastle Club soon announced the transfer operation, and the transfer agreement will wait until July 2008, 7 when the European football transfer market opens!
Newcastle fans are divided over James Milner's move.
Although many people feel infinite regret for losing such a supernova with unlimited potential, they can also understand the helpless measures of the club management to cash in by selling the main players when the team encounters financial difficulties.Moreover, the crazy religious superstition of the Newcastle people is so certain: as long as [God on the sidelines] crazy Mr. Li can stay at St. James' Park, then no matter which player is lost, sooner or later the Magpies will be able to reproduce the glory of the Japanese team one day!
……
In the next few days, Newcastle's transfer department has been busy in accordance with Li Tongfan's request.
James Milner did not choose to leave Newcastle's No.1. Left back Charles Nzobia and central defender David Loserhall, two of Newcastle's main full-backs, have found their next homes before Liverpool's Anfield battle on May 5——
Charles Nzobia joins Ligue 600 side Bordeaux for £[-]!
David Lozehar moved to La Liga powerhouse Sevilla for 500 million euros!
Unlike Milner, the two voluntarily chose to leave after being clearly informed by Li Tongfan that they would not appear in Newcastle's main lineup next season.Of course, like James Milner, the transfer agreement will take effect after the end of the season, and the two have to play the last game of the season for Newcastle for the time being.
In addition to selling people, Li Tongfan seized the time to complete another player introduction that had been booked during this period-activating the buyout clause in Juan Mata's loan contract, and snatched the former proud disciple from Ferguson at a low price of 200 million pounds.
After all this is done, the 38th round of the Premier League is about to begin!
……
Morning of January 5th!
Liverpool Anfield Stadium Press Conference Hall!
Newcastle coach Crazy Li and Red Army helm Benitez participated in the pre-match press conference together!
With the dust settled in the Premier League and the result of the last round of the league does not affect the rankings at both ends of the standings, the only gimmick in this game that can attract the attention of fans and the media is that Michael Owen, who has returned to his peak form, once again came to Anfield, where he played for eight consecutive years, and the grievances between the current Liverpool Benitez and the Euro!
Of course, the reporters participating in the press conference will not let go of these eye-catching questions——
The lanky reporter from The Sun hit the nail on the head with the most concerned question of the fans: "Mr. Benitez, why did you let go of the team's banner Michael Owen in the summer of 2004?"
Benitez, the Spaniard who sat high behind the interview table, was expressionless: "It was a decision that both parties were satisfied with and made unanimously. I have no reason to prevent it from happening. This is the reason."
"But some people think that you threatened the team to expel the former flag out of personal preference... You don't like Irving, and you need to establish prestige by expelling a big-name player like Michael, and use this to get enough transfer fees to rebuild the team according to your own ideas, isn't that true?"
Benitez smiled instead of anger: "As a head coach, I have the right to manage the team in any way I think is beneficial to the team? If Michael Owen's departure can make Liverpool's strength even greater, why should I say no?"
"Thank you for your answer, and the last question...Mr. Benitez," the reporter of the Sun newspaper is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. "When the team has been unable to find a stable scoring point after losing Michael Owen, do you regret your original decision?"
By this time, Benitez was obviously a little impatient to be asked:
"Liverpool still has Torres and Gerrard, as well as Carragher and Reina...Michael Owen is just an ordinary player, and his performance after leaving Liverpool has proved everything. I am very glad that I made a wise decision...Your question time is over, sir, and now I can tell you clearly: I will not regret the decision to sell Michael Owen at any time!"
After successfully angering Benitez, the reporters turned their attention to Mad Lee.
"Mr. Idiot, first of all, thank you for everything you have done for the England team. Can I ask your opinion on Mr. Benitez's point of view just now, and please comment on Michael Owen in your own mind?
The one who asked the question was the tall, thin reporter from The Sun just now.
This guy seems to be a crazy Irving fan, and every question he asks cannot be separated from his idol.And the tone when asking Li Tongfan is obviously much more respectful and enthusiastic than treating Benitez!
"Everyone has his own Michael Owen in his heart," Li Tongfan politely applied a famous saying in the literary world, and changed Hamlet's name to Owen, which caused laughter in the press conference hall, and the tense atmosphere created by Benitez's anger just now was swept away.
"However, if I were the head coach of Liverpool, I would definitely regret it very much! Because for every loyal Liverpool fan, Owen who used to gallop like the wind at Anfield is unique..." After Li Tongfan made a joke, he immediately changed the subject and pointed the finger at Benitez unabashedly: "Owen is the top striker of this era, and he is an existence that every opponent will fear. I believe Michael will prove this in tonight's game..."
the other side.
Before Li Tongfan finished speaking, Benitez stood up and waved his sleeves away!
For the head of the Spanish bishop, it is undoubtedly a very boring thing to sit here facing a group of fly-like reporters and a junior who is gesticulating.As for who will regret it, let the game do the talking. Benitez is confident that he will shut everyone up with a hearty victory...
Michael Owen?
That guy who is good for nothing except running fast and being injured quickly, even if time goes back and everything starts again, Benitez will drive him away for the second time without hesitation! ——
