King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 239 Van der Sar, take him!

Lying on the soft Simmons bed, his wife is in his arms and his son is on his side, but Wei Xun is still thinking about signings. Other positions can be ignored, but the signings of the goalkeeper position must be paid close attention to. This is The team's last defense, and Guardiola's meaning is very clear, he wants a main goalkeeper.

Other positions in Notts County can make do, but the goalkeeper is not.

Wei Xun’s thoughts are also very direct. He himself found a reason to narrow the search scope. The goalkeeper must be chosen from places like Italy, Germany, Spain or Eastern Europe. The condition is good and the peak period is long. For many years, save trouble. Therefore, the more famous goalkeepers of later generations hovered in Wei Xun's mind one by one:

Spaniard Casillas, 23 years old, in the 2002 Champions League final, he was in danger and helped Real Madrid clinch Leverkusen to win the ninth club history. He is now the main force of the world's giants and Real Madrid. Goalkeeper, digging is a bit difficult, Wei Xun thinks just think about it;

German Neuer, currently seventeen years old, has joined Schalke for two years and is still wandering in Schalke's echelon. According to Wei Xun’s memory, Neuer should only be selected for Schalke’s second team next year. He has not signed a professional contract and Notts County has the opportunity to win him. Wei Xun’s favorite thing to do is Helping Notts County invest in the future is a good candidate.

De Gea, a Spanish born in the 90s, is one year younger than Wei Xun's brother-in-law Huang Miao. Wei Xun read a post in later generations, "Duck" went to Atletico Madrid at the age of ten, so David De Gea should have entered the Atletico Madrid football school for professional training. If possible, Wei Xun also wants to dig De Gea, and the price will certainly not be too high.

The price of semi-finished products is always so beautiful. If you can find the raw materials directly, it would be even better. Obviously, Wei Xun, as a traverser, has this ability.

The above three people, in fact, do not meet Guardiola's requirements. After all, Guardiola needs old goalkeepers. The above three are still too young, especially in the position of goalkeeper, the older the goalkeeper, the more demon. Everyone has the same opportunities and talents as Donnarumma. In addition to talent, it takes a lot of games to accumulate experience.

In addition to Casillas, Pellizzoli and Foster can completely replace the other two roles, two or three, it is not guilty to get a star player to come and sit on the bench. It is too expensive, and Zhao Tai, an iron cock, will find a reason. Criticize yourself for spending money.

Wei Xun thought for a while. There are many goalkeepers who have played for rich clubs. There are many goalkeepers who are still reasonable at present. Cesar, who is in his twenties, is easier to handle. Cesar has not logged in Europe yet. He is still in Brazil. Flamenco guards the gate and has to take advantage of this opportunity to take him down. Whether it is for his own use or for future sales, it will be uncompromising; Italian goalkeepers over 30 also include Paliuca, Perucci, and Tonto. There are more of these, but Wei Xun does not think that Notts County can compete with Inter Milan, Florence and Lazio at this time.

The era of the "Seven Serie A" is not far away, and the glory of the "World No. 1 League" has not completely dissipated.

Can't beat, can't beat.

Not to think about the 46 million dollar Buffon. The money is not a problem for Notts County. The main reason is that the players are unwilling to come. "Old Fox" Moji will not let anyone go. It is the cornerstone of the team. What's more, Ibrahimovic and others all left during the demotion of the "Telephone Gate" incident, and Buffon did not leave, so naturally it is even more impossible to leave now.

In the long history of the Juventus club, many excellent goalkeepers have also emerged, no matter the soul of the team or the passing away, Wei Xun soon fell into memories: earlier there were Zoff, Van der Sar, and Germany. Santis, now standing on the door line is Buffon, Antonio Mirante who is about to enter the Juventus youth academy, and even the Italian Storari who will join in the future.

Take a closer look, except for Van der Sar, all Italians.

"Huh, wait..."

Wei Xun crept up from the bed for fear of awakening his wife and children beside him. Now the children can be noisy. If they are woken up by themselves, they will definitely not sleep well tonight, although Wei Xun was not asleep either.

Cautiously walked to the study and opened his own notebook. Wei Xun seemed to think of something. He seemed to have said that he wanted to buy Van der Sar at the beginning. See where he is.

"Whhhhhh..."

Wei Xun turned the page very quickly, and he really found the page that recorded his mental journey at that time:

"Vander Sar, Fulham, get him!"

The Dutch joined Juventus from Ajax in 1999. Just like the names of those standing on the Juventus goal line, Van der Sar is the first non-Italian goalkeeper in the history of Juventus. However, the arrival of Buffon still made Van der Sar's main position unprotected.

The five million transfer fee when joining Fulham was a piece of cake. Even this season Van der Sar’s performance in the International Toto Cup and Europa League qualifiers is very good, Wei Xun is also willing to add a little money to pick Van der Sar.

Wei Xun clearly knows that when he moved from Fulham to Manchester United in 2005, he only spent two million pounds, but this Dutchman has played for Manchester United for five years.

Experienced, thirty-three years old, and the status is guaranteed, so this is a main goalkeeper who meets Guardiola's requirements.

What impressed Wei Xun most is that Van der Sar has a wealth of experience in Europa League and Champions League matches, which is currently very lacking in Notts County. Except for the "Barcelona" two elders, no one else has any experience in intercontinental competitions.

Wei Xun slept very late this night and got up very early. He took Zhao Tai and Marotta, as well as the club’s accountant in charge of financial affairs, directly into the car. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask the club staff to give Fulham to Fulham. The club sent a fax, saying that he was going to bring the Notts County club head and brain to visit your club and discuss related cooperation matters.

Although it was really impolite to send a fax before leaving, the Fulham Club quickly responded and welcomed the Notts County Club to visit the Fulham base.

Since Fayed, a wealthy Egyptian businessman, entered the club in the 1990s, Fulham has ushered in a major development opportunity. The Egyptians provided strong financial support for it, and Fulham also successfully advanced to the Premier League in 2001. Although the results were somewhat bad, they have been able to successfully relegation.

Fayed is obviously the kind of person who has a common language with Wei Xun, and the experience of leading the team is very similar. The Egyptians are also willing to exchange some of their relegation experience with Wei Xun. After all, Fulham has been playing for two years. In the Premier League, and Notts County is still a promoted polo team, he does not think Notts County has the ability to easily relegation.

No matter how reluctant Zhao Tai was, even if Marotta and the others were sleeping in the car, they couldn't disturb Wei Xun who was "dreaming".

When the Notts County group arrived at the Fulham Club, Fulham Chairman Fayed was already waiting for Wei Xun and them outside the gate. It was too early to have lunch, and Fayed led Wei Xun and them. I visited the Fulham Club and the honor showroom,

Two second division champions, one first division champion, and the International Toto Cup champion won last season. Fulham's honor is indeed lackluster. They have reached the finals of many competitions, but in the end they all It fell short.

It was the same to enter the Premier League with the second division and first division championships. Fayed's eyes looked at Wei Xun, and there was always something worth thinking about.

As an Egyptian, I can absorb some of the influence of Eastern culture. Fayed understands the principle of "everything does not go to the Three Treasures Hall", and Wei Xun naturally understands it.

After offering Fulham a £1.5 million a year, a total price of £6 million for a chest advertising contract, Wei Xun, a cheeky guy, very naturally explained his intentions, "Mr. Fayed As a newly promoted team, we urgently need to strengthen. Your club not only has similar experience to ours, but also has many players who have gone through many tests!"

Fayed heard what Wei Xun meant. He thinks there are still some players in the Fulham team who can be appreciated by Notts County, but this summer, he is also preparing to strengthen the midfield and forward line. , If Wei Xun wants to dig the candidates for these two positions, then he can only say sorry.

"Wei, we are very willing to have some personnel exchanges with Notts County. Egypt is also considered a half Asian country. We should help each other. But if you are interested in our strikers and midfielders, then I can only say sorry. We are also relatively weak in these two positions and need to be reinforced, but if it is in other positions, we can still discuss."

"That's great, Mr. Fayed. What we actually want is your team’s goalkeeper Van der Sar. Our players are too young and we need an old future. Several veterans in the team have made it clear that they will retire. Yes, I have no choice, I know you will definitely help us..."

There are two ways to win sympathy, crying poorly and selling poorly. Notts County is obviously not poor, so Wei Xun can only sell poorly.

"This..." Fayed discovered at this time that he seemed to have added Van der Sar as well. Although he is not young, Lao Fan is in good shape this year. If he really sold him, Really reluctant.

Maybe it was because of Fayed’s difficulties. Marotta, who knew this well, had to step forward and help Wei Xun fool. He just sent a text message to the staff of Huaxing Company, and soon there was a job for Fulham. The staff sent a document faxed from Notts County to them:

"Mr. Fayed, we will not take Fulham's main player for nothing, Newcastle's Shay Given, 27 years old, his transfer fee will not exceed 5 million pounds, this is our Huaxing company's customer !"

The general manager of the Fulham club was also present, he nodded at Fayed, indicating that Shay was a good player.

Jiwen has shined in the Premier League and the Intercontinental arena this season, and has attracted the attention of some teams, but at this stage, there are too many good goalkeepers in the Premier League, and he is not ranked for the time being.

"Thomas Sorensen, Danish, Sunderland goalkeeper, but Sunderland was relegated this year. The player himself clearly expressed his desire to stay in the Premier League. His transfer fee is lower, not more than 2.5 million. Sterling, this is also our Huaxing Sports player."

The general manager of Fulham nodded again. Sorensen, the main goalkeeper of the Danish team in the 2002 World Cup, has also been tested by the Premier League. Sunderland’s relegation really has nothing to do with him.

Mr. Fayed read the profiles of the two of them, but found that at the end there were profiles of two other players, "Mr. Marotta, is this?"

"Oh, Mr. Fayed, in order to show our sincerity, we are willing to loan our striker Crouch to Fulham for free. We will send his video as soon as possible. This is a very good header. Player, the other is our customer of China Star Company, Scott Parker. He played for Charlton last season. He scored four goals and sent out an assist throughout the season. It is reported that Chelsea also liked him, Charlton. The asking price will not be less than ten million, but we can persuade players to join Fulham and reduce the transfer fee! If a deal is reached, as a friend, our Huaxing company will not charge any commission."

I have to admit that Marotta's negotiation is still six.

Crouch can't play games at the club now. He can only play in the reserve team and the youth team. The other players are just customers of Notts County, which is the sharing of information resources. But all this is packed by Marotta. Especially tempting.

"Mr. Fayed, please trust our sincerity. If you are willing to wait, I will bring you a better striker. As long as you can cut love and let Van der Sar join Notts County, we can use our channels To help you complete the reinforcement."

The conditions given by the head of Notts County are indeed very good, but Fayed needs to discuss with other people in the club, and also needs to seek the opinions of the team coach. After all, the coach asks to buy someone. If you buy it rashly , Does not meet the requirements of the team coach, the money is useless.

The reputation of Huaxing Company is really good in England, as can be seen from the quality and quantity of players signed by Marotta.

Fayed and Wei Xun can be regarded as a verbal agreement. If the Fulham coach agrees, Notts County can contact Van der Sar, and Wei Xun also agreed that the video tapes of these players will be sent to Fu within five days. Come here.

Although the transfer negotiations this time have not yet come to fruition, Wei Xun is satisfied. Marotta and the others are too good.

Even though Wei Xun kept praising Marotta and the others, the Italians were still not prepared to spare Wei Xun easily. Fortunately, the communication technology has improved. Otherwise, Wei Xun will be caught off guard this time. Which club transfers? It's not about making an appointment in advance, asking for a price, and then negotiating. Those who come directly to the door like Wei Xun are really indifferent.

Realizing his mistake, Wei Xun also promised not to do this next time. After having lunch with Mr. Fayed, Wei Xun took a few people to Fulham and consumed a handful, which was regarded as compensation for them. I accompanied myself on business early in the morning.
