Chapter 140： Insufficient cost

"What do you drink? Or warm water?"

嗯 "Well, warm water will do, thank you."

Jintaige walked into the CEO's office, Woodward asked the secretary to prepare a cup of hot water for Jintaige, while holding a cup of coffee himself, he did not add sugar, and slowly introduced sweet incense.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Woodward leaned contentedly on the sofa: "It's much warmer now. To Tiger, you led the team to the Champions League semi-finals, I haven't had time to congratulate you. Congratulations You, Tiger. "

Jintaige smiled slightly: "This is all I should do. If I lost the last game, I am probably not qualified to sit here and talk about the future of the team."

"You guy, you still speak so straight, but I like it," Woodward changed his posture. "It's comfortable to deal with you. What do you say is better than those politicians and businessmen who talk crazily."

既然 "Since you said that, then I have nothing to say." Jintaige paused. "The team is not in a good condition right now, and the midfield needs to be supplemented."

Woodward froze: "All your transfer fees this year have been spent, but I remember that you earned about 12.7 million euros in transfer fees in the summer by selling and leasing players. I told you that Glazer has already Promise, you can use this transfer fee for winter recruitment. "

Jintaige shook his head: "Aide, who do you think the money is enough for?"

呃 "Uh ... this is a little less money," Woodward admitted.

Jintaige went on to say: "Aide, I hope you can help me apply for a portion of the transfer funds from the board for the winter transfer period to buy players."

Woodward didn't speak, he closed his eyes slightly, thinking about what Kintag was saying.

Gintag explained patiently: "Ed, think about it, this summer, Manchester City spent a total of 94.9 million pounds, Chelsea invested 62.9 million pounds, Spurs even invested 107.9 million!"

"And me, the board of directors gave me a total of 50 million euros in transfer fees, including Zaha ’s 15 million euros in transfer fees, which means that my disposable transfer fees totaled only 35 million euros! This summer Wenger bought Ozil for 42.5 million euros, which is more than the controllable funds in my hand! "

"Where is Manchester United now? The UEFA Champions League has successfully advanced to the top 16 and the league ranks fourth. Although this result is not very satisfactory, it is already very good in terms of the level of our capital investment. It is not an exaggeration to say that this It's already the limit of this team. Without reinforcements, the team will not be able to play in the second half of the season. By then, we will not be able to find suitable substitutes for third-line operations. "

After listening to Jin Taige's words, Woodward nodded: "Tiger, I understand your difficulties. Today we are the only two of us. Let's talk openly if there is anything. The board is not without money now, and I have some distrust in you. They are afraid that the money in their hands will be lost, so they are very cautious in the investment of transfer fees. "

Kintag said solemnly: "I make an analogy, it's like Mr. Glazer hired me to fish for them. First I have to give me enough bait so that I can catch enough big fish to make the club profit. If only If you give me some breadcrumbs, then even if you catch the fish, they will be smelly fish and shrimp. I believe Mr. Glazer will not understand this? Besides, the results I led in this half year are enough to prove that, I have the ability to get Manchester United to a sufficient position. So I sincerely hope that the board can seriously consider my proposal and add some transfer funds to me. If so, at the end of the season, I will definitely let Mr. Glazer See what he wants. "

After listening to Jin Taige's statement, Woodward was silent for a moment, and he smiled bitterly: "Tiger, you put a lot of pressure on me."

Jin Taige smiled slightly: "We are friends, of course I have trouble to find you."

"Well, you said that, then I'll try it." Woodward thought about it. "Tomorrow morning, I will have a board meeting this week. At that time, I will put your request to Glaser. Let me clarify, as for the final result, I dare not guarantee you. "

Jintaige said gratefully, "Ed, you can do my best to help me, I am very grateful."

Woodward smiled confidently: "I'll do my best. As for the final result, I can only fight for my eloquence."

Looking at King Tiger's full-eyed look, Woodward thought: Let me do something for Tiger again, hoping that he can really bring some surprises to the club when the season ends.

上 On the training ground the next day, Jin Taige looked a little absent-minded, and Ferran saw it: "Tiger, are you a little uncomfortable?"

Jintaige shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just a little embarrassed, waiting for results."

Scholes asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Ferrand immediately understood: "Tiger ~ www.novelhall.com ~ I guess you must be waiting for the result of the quarterfinals of the Champions League. You can rest assured that we are ranked first in the group and the situation is very good. In the second of several groups, only Manchester City, Arsenal and AC Milan are the traditional strong teams, and they are also the Premier League team. We will not meet with Manchester City and Arsenal. Therefore, except for AC Milan Besides, we are not afraid of anyone. "

Jin Jinge looked at the club office building in the distance, he casually said: "The opponent in the eighth final is Olympiacos, there should be no problem."

Ferran stunned: "Olympiacos? How did you know?"

Jin Taige suddenly felt lost, he could not be said to be the memory of future generations.

Jintaige casually said: "I had a dream last night. I dreamed that our opponent was Olympiacos."

Scholes smiled: "Captain, if your dream is accurate, I must invite you to dinner to celebrate that we have drawn a weak opponent."

Olympiacos is not a weak opponent. Jin Taige thought to himself. But at this time he didn't have the energy to think about other things. When he was thinking about the transfer fee, he waited for the outcome of the board meeting.

3 Around 3 pm, Jin Taige saw a familiar figure outside the training field-Woodward.

He hurried over in a few steps: "What happened?"

Woodward didn't speak, he looked at Jin Taige expressionlessly. At this time, Jin Taige was uneasy in his heart, and he knew well that the next news might determine the direction of the whole team in the second half of the season.

The two were silent for about a minute or so, and Woodward laughed suddenly.

"Tiger, congratulations, you got the results you want!"
