The team trains on the training ground, led by assistant coach David Chris Lack. Donze and club chairman Evan Doggety watch the training through huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the president's office.

"Tony, is there any problem with the team now?"

Evan is just asking questions knowingly. Currently, the team lost two consecutive league losses in the league. Don Evan takes the initiative to come to him. All fools know that there must be a problem. Maybe he knows that he is stupid to ask this, Evan added, "Well, I asked what's wrong."

Tang En looked at the training ground below, hesitated for a while, nodded and said, "Well, Evan, you may have to pay for it again. There is a position that needs to be added. After eighteen rounds of the league, the team conceded almost every game. Look at the recent game... I must say that Darren Ward has no longer met my requirements."

"Darren Ward? Are you planning to buy a new goalkeeper when the winter transfer window opens?"

"Yes, I already have the right candidate. But we may face competition from where we don't know what we are from..." In fact, what Tang En knew is that the competitor that Forests has to face is Manchester United, which made George Wood famous in one game. "So financially I need to get the full support of the club."

Evan did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and pondered for a while.

Don En didn't urge him, and stood aside and pretended to watch the training. He understood Evan's difficulties.

After all, he spent money a bit crazy in the summer. The Premier League and Serie A are different from La Liga. A non-wealthy club spends millions of pounds of transfer fees, which is quite a big expense. For example, La Liga, which spends more than 100 million people in a summer, is almost impossible to appear in Premier League clubs before.

This summer, because Chelsea run by Abramour ushered in a championship-level coach Mourinho, the expenses are naturally also champion-level. Abramowitz has driven a consumption boom in English football, and the spending of Premier League clubs in player transfers has increased significantly this summer.

As usual, Nottingham Forest, as a newly promoted team, has just survived the economic crisis. It would be good to have a transfer budget of 50,000 pounds in the new season, but Don Eun spent 12 million in one go, basically draining the team's finances. He also knew that now that he would make economic demands, Evan would definitely not be as straightforward as Summer.

"I'm very interested in your goal, Tony." The result of contemplation was that Evan still did not nod, but asked the question.

Don Endao: "Fulham and Dutch national team main goalkeeper Van der Sar."

Evan thought about it in his mind. It seemed to have some impression: "That tall and thin man? He is good, but I heard that Manchester United is also interested in him..."

Don En smiled bitterly: "So we need to prepare more money... The only condition we can use is to increase the transfer fee and meet the Dutch's salary needs."

"How much is his weekly salary in Fulham?"

"Forty thousand pounds." Tang En stretched out four fingers.

Hearing this number, Evan frowned.   If you want to get the Dutch national team, the minimum salary level cannot be lower than this number, which will inevitably damage the existing salary structure of the Forest team.   The highest salary in the Forest team is Viduka, and his weekly salary is only 40,000.   For George Wood, who has just become famous, the weekly salary is still the number of contracts signed last season - 2,500 pounds.

"How much transfer fee do you expect to need, Tony?" Evan asked again.

"I think..." Don En recalled. Manchester United signed Van der Sar on July 1 next year. How much did it cost? Three hundred? Five hundred? It seems to be a relatively special number... I remembered it! "At least it will be more than two.5 million pounds..."

"Why is it two million and a half million?"

"Well, if it's lower, Fulham wouldn't agree? They cost more than five million pounds to bring the Dutch from Juventus. Van derssa is almost thirty-four years old and it is impossible for him to sell land higher than before. But it can't be too low. After all, it's not our family who is interested in Van derssa now."

After hearing Tang En's explanation, Evan nodded: "You're right, Tony. But I don't think there's only one name on your shortlist, right?"

Evan said it right. Don N will definitely not put all the eggs in the same basket. "Of course... I have many names, but the most suitable one is probably Van der Sar. Evan, do you know French goalkeeper Frey? He is the main goalkeeper of Parma. Although Parma is in an economic crisis now, we may pay a higher transfer fee if we want to get it. And, we also have to face Manchester United's competition... Their goalkeeper problem this season is as prominent as we do. In order to save money, we can also consider asking Inter to loan Tordo to Inter Milan - but I don't think that's a wise choice. The Italian old goalkeeper has declined very well... In addition, I have many young goalkeeper names. But they are too small, they belong to the future and cannot solve our current problems."

After listening to Tang En's analysis, Evan had to admit that his proposal was carefully considered.

"Okay, Tony. We are talking to the bank about re-loaning. I think if it goes well, you shouldn't be short of money next January." Evan Doggetty finally nodded.

After hearing that he had money, the stone in Tang En's heart was considered to be the foundation. The Forest team is now in the stage of transformation and transformation. Money is needed everywhere. Tang En is still a little grateful for Evan's ability to cooperate with him in this way. After all, there are fewer and fewer club chairmen like this. Perhaps it is because of Evan, an American who does not understand football. He can delegate more power to himself and not ask about the team. As long as Tang En can give a reasonable reason, he will not object.

Although none of us is rich, Don is still very content to think about the dirty things between Mourinho and Abramovich in the future.

Just as he was relieved, Evan suddenly added: "Of course, Tony. If you increase your investment, you need to get a reward. What are our goals this season?"

Donn understood what Evan asked about this. As the team chairman, Evan Doggetty could not have known the team's goal this season, which was set before the season. He nodded: "Our goal is definitely not to be relegation. I think after this season we will appear on the roster of teams that can participate in next season's European competitions."

Evan laughed loudly with satisfaction: "I said, we can cooperate with each other, Tony!"

Tang En scratched his head and laughed.

The league is still going on, and Nottingham Forest has sent someone to contact Fulham. For Donn, the advantage he has been to know Manchester United's trump card. Although Ferguson has been secretly sending Van der Sar to a secret, the media has reported this a long time ago. But now there are still many candidates for Manchester United to choose, so they have no substantial contact.

Frey, who is not very happy with Parma now, Juventus goalkeeper Buffon, and even Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas. As a giant, Manchester United has a sense of superiority compared to Forests. They must be all players with weight. Although Van der Sar was once the best goalkeeper in the world, he is now 34 years old. If Manchester United spends too much money to buy an old man who will retire after playing for two years, first of all, Manchester United General Manager David Gill can't pass that level.

In the end, Manchester United bought Van der Sar after he failed to introduce Buffon and Casillas, only 2.5 million pounds. When Van der Sar came to Manchester United, not many people were optimistic about him. After all, he was a 34-year-old veteran. Everyone thought that Ferguson bought Van der Sar just for a temporary emergency. Manchester United would not stop seeking excellent goalkeepers in the transfer market. In fact, the rumors between them and Casillas have never stopped.

Fulham's current economic situation is not very good. Van der Sar, a 34-year-old man, still needs to get a salary of 40,000 pounds a week, which makes them unable to bear it. Someone asked for the price, so he was naturally happy to reply. Of course, he still had to do the reserve in his face.

Faced with the Forest’s price question, Fulham initially took the stance of “Van der Sar is the team’s main goalkeeper. Although it is not a non-selling product, it is unlikely to buy it cheaply.”

Nottingham Forest replied at the instruction of Don Eun: "We certainly wouldn't spend another five million pounds for a thirty-four-year-old guy!"

Fulham also knows this, buyers are not fools. So they lifted Manchester United: "Manchester United is also interesting to Van der Sar now..."

Nottingham Forest asked back: "Did they offer?"

The answer is definitely "no". There are only three clubs that can still be seen in Van der Sar, one is the rumored Manchester United - note that it is the "rumored"; the other is the Dutch team Ajax, but Van der Sar, who has lived in England for four years, is used to football and life here and does not intend to return to the Netherlands. After all, the Premier League is the top league, and the third one is Nottingham Forest, which comes to the door.

Among the three clubs, the only club that made a offer was the Forest.
