After concluding the discussion on the sharing of players and medical information, this secret meeting finally ushered in the topic that everyone present was most concerned about - mutual help and prohibition of malicious competition!
Ferguson naturally takes this topic very seriously. [爱↑去△小↓说△网wqu] Because Manchester United is currently facing a very serious problem, that is, the lack of a reliable enough goalkeeper!
Since the meritorious goalkeeper Schmeichel chose to retire at the end of the 1998-99 season, Manchester United has never had a goalkeeper position that can reassure Ferguson - if Barthez and Howard can be said to be insufficiently stable, If they were only cheated once or twice, the performances of Carroll, Taibi, Bosnich and others at Manchester United could only be described as nightmares. Even if these guys just play for the Red Devils, they can startle Manchester United fans into cold sweats!
If Manchester United was not in its heyday at that time, and the golden midfield built by Beckham, Giggs and others was rarely rivaled in English football, Manchester United would have been cheated to death by these parallel goalkeepers. How could it be possible? Will there be three consecutive Premier League titles?
Therefore, if we really talk about helping each other, then Manchester United is undoubtedly the one who needs support the most. After all, it can be said that everyone knows how cheating Manchester United's goalkeeper has been over the years, and Tottenham and Chelsea, who do not need to worry about goalkeeper problems, will definitely help Manchester United in this. Otherwise, the three alliances created by George may face a situation of stillbirth.
The most important thing is that both Chelsea and Tottenham have more than one excellent goalkeeper at the goalkeeper position. Although Akinfeev and Cech quickly secured their main positions with their outstanding and stable performances after joining Chelsea and Tottenham, this does not mean that Cudicini and Casey Keller are useless - the former is listed above In this season, he also served as the main goalkeeper to help Chelsea achieve third place in the Premier League and semi-finals of the Champions League. The latter was also the main goalkeeper for Tottenham to win the League Cup and FA Cup double championship!
If we can take this opportunity to bring one of the two to Old Trafford, then it will definitely be worthwhile for the three companies to form an alliance this time! Because this will not only greatly strengthen the weakest link in Manchester United's lineup, but also test the sincerity of Tottenham and Chelsea for this alliance. If George is serious enough about the three leagues, then even if he is unwilling, he will definitely choose to sell Casey Keller to Manchester United, or persuade Abramovich to sell Cudicini to the Red Devils!
"Do you want to get Casey Keller or Cudicini from us to fill Manchester United's shortcomings in the goalkeeper position?" After listening to Ferguson's request and receiving a positive answer from the other party, Georgiello After thinking about it, he smiled and answered, "Alex, if I agree to your request, which one will you choose to play for Manchester United?"
To be honest, George was not surprised by Ferguson's request. Because in his previous life, a similar scene played out between Juventus and AC Milan - at that time, Buffon was accidentally injured in the Berlusconi Cup and needed to be sidelined for a full three months due to injury. Therefore, as an ally, AC Milan urgently loaned substitute goalkeeper Abbiati to the Bianconeri for half a season, helping Juventus survive the goalkeeper crisis!
Although the attitudes of Milan fans are not unified regarding this loan incident, it has to be said that AC Milan's move has well maintained the alliance between it and Juventus. If it hadn't been for the Calciopoli scandal that later broke out and Silvio Berlusconi unkindly tried to take advantage of the crisis, leading to a rift between Juventus and Milan, I'm afraid the Holy Alliance really would have had hope of dominating Italian football!
Therefore, before the meeting began, George predicted that Ferguson would ask for Casey Keller or Cudicini from Tottenham and Chelsea, and formulated corresponding countermeasures.
"Uh..." George's question successfully put Ferguson into a dilemma. Faced with these two outstanding goalkeepers, Sir Alex Ferguson obviously had some difficulties when making a choice - no matter which one he chose, Ferguson felt that the other one might be more suitable for Manchester United now.
In terms of strength alone, Cudicini, who served as Chelsea's main goalkeeper last season, is undoubtedly better than Casey Keller, but in Ferguson's eyes, choosing the 35-year-old Casey Keller is also quite difficult. good. Because generally speaking, such veterans do not have high requirements for playing time, so after Ferguson finds a goalkeeper that is truly suitable for Manchester United, it will not be easy for Casey Keller, who was demoted to a substitute, to be in the team. What a fuss.
"I have some rough ideas about this issue." Seeing that Ferguson was still unable to make a decision, Edwards suddenly had an idea in his mind and put forward a suggestion that he thought was quite "reasonable". Viscount Nelson and Chairman Abramovich, why don't you loan Casey Keller and Cudicini to Manchester United for free for one year, and then we will decide whether to buy them out based on their performance during their time at Manchester United. Which one? Do you think this method is feasible?"
For many years, Ferguson has been asking the club to increase its budget in the transfer market and strengthen Manchester United's overall strength by introducing strong reinforcements so that the Red Devils can achieve greater success in the Champions League. Martin Edwards, the CEO of Manchester United at the time and a man with a lot of profits, refused to agree, which directly led to Manchester United being able to dominate the domestic league in the seasons when the core players were at their peak, and in the European competition. The results were lackluster. And now, Edwards has applied his miserly style to this secret meeting, and the results are self-evident!
"Haha." Sure enough, after hearing Edwards' suggestion, George and Abu didn't even bother to talk about it, and directly responded to this plan with a modal particle.
You don't want to pay any price, and you still want to use our players in vain, and two at a time. Are you just daydreaming and haven't woken up yet? ! This is the only view of Edwards that George and Abramovich have in mind at this moment.
"I still want Cudicini. Rent before buying, with a buyout fee of 10 million euros." Edwards' poor performance made Ferguson a little bit unable to stand it, and he quickly made the final decision - after hesitating for a long time , Sir Alex still chose Cudicini, who was more effective. Because Ferguson can't guarantee when Manchester United will find another Schmeichel.
"Deal!" Regarding Ferguson's asking price, Abramovich did not choose to bargain with the other party, but readily agreed to Sir Alex Ferguson's request. "However, during Cudicini's loan period, Manchester United will be responsible for paying wages and bonuses. This point , Sir Alex Ferguson, you shouldn’t have any objections, right?”
"Of course." Ferguson nodded and agreed to Abramovich's request - he was not as thick-skinned as Edwards, and he dared to ask for a free loan after accepting such a huge favor from the other party.
