Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 253 Woodward's Telegram

Before transferring Rafael to the first team, Li Yanqing had a brief chat with him.

Being Quinn's backup only means he's slightly better than the second-choice goalkeeper.

They won't have many opportunities to play.

Moreover, Quinn isn't much older than him; he's only eighteen this year.

Even the most loyal player would find it hard to accept spending their entire career as a substitute.

So after careful consideration, Li Yanqing decided to rent him out.

"There is no place for you in the first team right now."

"But I have a loan opportunity here."

Would you like to go to the Championship?

"Champions League? Which team is it?"

“Uh, Huddersfield…”

Rafael himself still wants to play for Burton, but the current situation is that Quinn has firmly secured the position where he is best suited to play.

Instead of wasting my youth here, I should rent it out sooner rather than later.

"Yes, I will."

"I hope that when I return, I won't have to leave again..."

Raphael nodded very seriously.

He knew he wasn't bad in any way, but Quinn was clearly much better than he was.

He was somewhat born at the wrong time.

"Alright, the matter is settled."

"Everyone, you can start enjoying your vacation now."

"You can rest as much as you want for the rest of the month."

"As long as we don't miss the warm-up matches."

The youth training team members, experiencing high-pressure training for the first time, were immediately excited.

This is a really long holiday!

As for Li Yanqing, he still cannot take a vacation.

Because in just a few days, the first team members will be back here.

The warm-up matches have begun...

after one day.

"I really didn't expect you to call me personally."

"What is this?"

Did they have a change of heart?

The person who caused Li Yanqing to adopt this attitude was naturally Manchester United's CEO, Mr. Woodward.

"I'm not kidding you."

"Let's get straight to business. Nobody has time to waste."

"I've agreed to what you said before."

"Only two million pounds, that's a very cheap price..."

After thinking for a while, Li Yanqing finally remembered what it was about.

When the season just ended, they considered loaning Manchester United defender Chris Smalling.

He's not very old, and he's doing well in all aspects.

but now......

No, we don't need it anymore.

“I have already found a very good candidate for his position.”

Apart from Dybala, Burton's additions this season have all been defenders.

Manchester United were initially reluctant to let him come, but his situation online seems to have taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Because the players started to get temperamental.

With Real Madrid's Varane having joined Manchester United, Smalling's starting opportunities have essentially been zero since then.

Unless a competitor is suddenly injured, they simply cannot get on the field.

Head coach Solskjaer also didn't like his playing style...

"Li! You bastard!"

"Did you come here specifically to seek attention?"

"This is something we were discussing just now!"

"The negotiations are not over yet!"

"You liar!"

Woodward became anxious when he heard Li Yanqing say that he didn't want it anymore.

He initially disagreed, simply because he wanted to make more money.

The other party didn't follow up, so he didn't ask any further questions.

But to his dismay, Smalling had waited so long, yet no club was willing to buy him!

He didn't have many opportunities at the club, so he simply came to Li Yanqing to apologize and complete the transaction.

No one has trouble with money.

I didn't expect Burton to be so fast.

All transfer plans for this window have been completed.

As a result, Smalling has no market now.

"asshole?"

"fraud?"

"Just say so."

Li Yanqing had no intention of explaining, nor was there any need to.

It won't do any good; it would be better to train the players more.

“I don’t care, Mr. Woodward.”

"But this is a perfectly normal thing in the world of football."

"If your so-called negotiation skills involve using this commanding tone, then I suggest you say nothing at all."

Li Yanqing hung up the phone immediately and blocked Woodward.

Logically speaking, even if someone came to discuss this matter, it should be Barker who talks to them.

The fact that they contacted him directly this time suggests that he wanted Li Yanqing to handle these matters himself.

Li Yanqing's decision was simple: get out.

What are you thinking? The transfer window is already at this stage, and you're still thinking about making money.

Why did you go early?

Meanwhile, Mr. Woodward was in his own office.

I took a few deep breaths before I came to my senses.

“You heard me, this isn’t my problem.”

“I get really angry every time I talk to this guy.”

Before him stood Solskjaer, and the purpose of their gathering today was to discuss how to loan out Smalling.

He had previously rejected Burton, which annoyed the baby-faced manager.

If they stay in the team but don't get to play, what's wrong with not charging a loan fee if the other side is willing to cover the player's salary?

So now, he's even angrier.

"This is different from what we promised!"

“I’ve already said that Smalling isn’t in my plans. You can loan him out even if you don’t charge me.”

"The player only has one year left on his contract. If no team wants him, we will lose money for no reason!"

This is what Solskjaer is most dissatisfied with.

Woodward clearly had a chance to complete the mission, but personal reasons led to a breakdown in the negotiations.

This will affect his player recruitment!

Damn fiscal fairness!

"It's okay, we can try buying some new players."

"They are all genuine supernovas."

How is Sancho doing at Dortmund?

"He's averaging almost two goals per game!"

“He might not be a good fit here,” Solskjaer shook his head.

As a rising superstar who has recently become incredibly popular, he knows this player very well.

The playing style is the core of the game, but the core of Manchester United is Pogba!

If they play together, Sancho will probably argue with him.

“It’s okay, we have some other candidates.”

"For example, Ajax."

"They have performed very well in the Champions League this season."

"The team has some pretty good rookies too..."

"Wait, I don't want any super rookies!" Solskjaer said impatiently.

He came to offer suggestions, not to let this CEO indulge in his own self-indulgent world.

"If a team wants to improve, it often needs to look at the players who can contribute to the offense."

"We need to find people who can help the team."

"Pogba's form is getting worse and worse!"

"I think it's fine. I've scored and assisted a lot this season." Woodward was stubborn and rarely listened to advice.

"I'm a little... I don't know how to describe it."

"Anyway, I've compiled a list, take a look for yourself."

"I need players in these positions, their best options."

“I’ve also selected my alternatives.”

"Just buy people from here, stop eyeing those supernovas..."
