Chapter 788: 318 million lineup

Abramovich spent US$302 million to build the strongest lineup in the history of the team. What about Suleiman? How much will it cost and what kind of lineup will Suleiman, who is determined to build an All-Star team, build? But Suleiman

West Ham United is really not a wealthy club, no, not even a powerful one. Can it attract big-name stars like this?

Obviously, the outside world has underestimated Suleiman's determination and his ability to burn money. In order to get the players he likes, especially big-name players, Suleiman is completely willing to go all out this time.

Henry, the King of Highbury, the strongest striker in Arsenal's history, Suleiman spent 70 million US dollars, and at the same time offered Henry the first year's salary in the Premier League, 7 million pounds after tax. This offer made the Arsenal management unable to

No, 70 million US dollars is enough to buy two more forwards, or even more, with similar abilities to Henry. Even if the ability is a little worse, the price is more than enough to make up for it. For Henry, the annual salary reaches 7 million pounds after tax, which is more than him.

His previous annual salary was more than double. It would be a lie to say that he was not interested. Moreover, Arsenal is so cash-strapped today that they have no extra money to invest in the transfer market and can only dig internally. In today's Premier League and in the

Arsenal's future in the European arena is very slim.

In the end, although Wenger tried his best to retain Henry, in the end, after careful consideration, Henry still chose to move to West Ham United. For the annual salary and for the future. After all, a team has a gold medal coach Capello and the world's super center Wei Wei.

Yeri, the team of Dutch marksman Kluivert, is definitely worth looking forward to in the future.

Henry moved to West Ham United for US$70 million, once again setting a new record in this year's transfer market. But Suleiman was not done yet, and subsequently announced the purchase of Juventus midfielder core Nedved for US$58 million.

.However, it suffered a heavy blow when it acquired Juventus' goalkeeper Buffon. Although Juventus sold Nedved at a high price of 58 million US dollars, it does not mean that it will sell the super goalkeeper Buffon. Even Suleiman

A terrifying price tag of US$60 million was offered for this purpose.

As for A.C. Milan's Nesta, although Suleiman offered 53 million U.S. dollars as the first defender, which made Berlusconi itchy, he has already sold Shevchenko and Pirlo. If Nesta is sold again,

, I'm afraid the fans will really riot. In desperation, Berlusconi could only reluctantly refuse.

Only two of the four superstars were acquired, which obviously failed to satisfy Suleiman. Then, under Capello's "casual" guidance, Suleiman waved his checkbook again and purchased Lazio's Mendieta, asking a price -

-$41 million, which is exactly what Lazio paid for Mendieta.

Mendieta, a La Liga player, is one of the most important witnesses and founders of Valencia's resurgence. Both the club and the national team operate with him as the core. He is well-deserved one of the best midfielders in the world today. However,

Due to injuries and not adapting to the Serie A style, he looked a little embarrassed. However, after being loaned to Barcelona last season, he once again burst out with overseas energy and led Barcelona to create miracles several times. Such a person is also something Capello has always admired.

. Originally when Capello was coaching Roma, he wanted to acquire Mendieta. Unfortunately, Roma was too poor at the time and was eventually acquired by Lazio. This has always made Capello very regretful. Now with the help of Suleiman,

Capello finally got what he wanted.

After acquiring Mendieta, Suleiman did not give up. So far, he had only invested a total of US$246 million, which was far lower than Abu's US$302 million. This made Suleiman extremely unhappy! He wanted to surpass Abu.

Surpass Lin Feng, surpass everyone, and make your lineup the strongest team in the Premier League.

Capello was a bit speechless about Suleiman's idea. However, as long as he was willing to buy his favorite players, Capello was very supportive and wished Suleiman could be even crazier.

Subsequently, Suleiman took action again, but this time he finally targeted Capello's old club, Roma.

There are some Roma players that Capello likes, but Roma will never let them go. For example, Roma Prince Totti, unless Suleiman spends hundreds of millions, Roma will never give up Totti. As for others

There are people that Capello likes. But to be honest, they are not at the top level at the moment, and there is a gap between Suleiman's requirements. Therefore, Capello has not issued a summons order to his old subordinates. But at present,

Suleiman's superstar heart has been satisfied. Henry, Nedved, and Mendieta are here. Together with Vieri and others, it can be said that West Ham United now has as many stars as any other team.

Now just to satisfy Suleiman's money-burning desire and to strengthen the lineup, Capello has reached out to Roma.

Subsequently, under the summons of Capello, the right back Cafu and center back Aldair, whose contracts had expired, were obtained for free. At the same time, they bought the loaned center back Pepe for US$12 million and poached them for US$25 million.

He acquired Samuel, Capello’s main center back during his time. At the same time, he also poached Capello’s favorite player, midfield beast Emerson, for US$32 million. Both transfer fees were obviously high, but now

With Suleiman, Abramovich and Lin Feng waving checks, the player transfer market has deviated from the normal market. In addition, teams such as Inter Milan and Real Madrid are also waving checks. Originally, 1,000

A player worth 10,000 yuan is now sold for 18 million yuan, which is really normal.

At this point, Suleiman's West Ham United's main lineup for the 2003-04 season has been completely formed.

Forward: Vieri partnered with Henry to form the most terrifying striker combination in history. Vieri's strength and ferocity, Henry's briskness and agility are enough to destroy any defense. With Kluivert and others as substitutes, the striker lineup is absolutely awesome.

Dominate the Premier League, even better than Chelsea's Shevchenko and Crespo combination.

The midfielder, Nedved, Mendieta, Emerson, and local star Lampard are also the fundamental reason why Capello is willing to come to West Ham United. The combination of these four people, Nedved, goalkeeper

Dieta, Lampard, and Emerson can only be described in four words - extremely fierce! The strong and tireless running of Lampard and Emerson's midfielders is enough to give any forward a nightmare.

In the frontcourt, the double guns of Mendieta and Nedved can not only provide the forwards with abundant firepower support, but also provide them with fierce artillery support from the outside. And more importantly, of this four-man combination, three of them

They are all known as "iron men". Except for Mendieta, who is slightly vulnerable to injury, the other three are enough for Capello to sit back and relax. What's more, there is also a talented midfielder McManaman to support at any time. It can be said that this midfielder

, currently, the best in the Premier League and even the world!

Defense: Aldair and Samuel's central defenders, Pepe as substitute. As for the right back, Cafu deserves it. As for the left back, there is a shortage of good left backs in the world. West Ham United's original left back Ilonga

, enough to build the best defense in Capello's mind. Of course, if Aldair is replaced by Nesta, it will be better. Unfortunately, AC Milan does not sell!

Goalkeeper: Abbiati is enough to satisfy Capello. Of course, Buffon is better, but it is a pity that for a super goalkeeper like Buffon, no matter how philistine Juventus is, they know who they absolutely cannot sell.

However, this lineup is enough to satisfy Capello and even make him proud of European football.

318 million U.S. dollars. In one summer, Suleiman spent a total of 318 million U.S. dollars. All the media exclaimed that Abramovich spent 302 million U.S. dollars to build the strongest lineup in the history of the Blues, while Suleiman spent 318 million U.S. dollars.

, creating what may be the strongest lineup in the Premier League. - Looking at the loss of US$318 million in his account, Suleiman is finally satisfied. With these, he can finally feel proud!

So rich! - The rest of the Premier League teams are quite helpless towards the sudden rise of the two powers. Originally, the three Premier League teams, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, were competing for the title. Other teams could still get a share of the pie, and they could also participate in the UEFA Cup.

You can even covet the qualifications for the Champions League. Now, including West Ham United and Chelsea, there is no chance of qualifying for the Champions League. As for the UEFA Cup, there is no chance. Not to mention, there is Lin Feng's Tottenham Hotspur!

During this period, Abramovich and Suleiman kept making moves, each acquiring players that satisfied them. However, Lin Feng was calm, which was a bit confusing. Especially in the Irving competition, Lin Feng finally gave up.

, Real Madrid successfully acquired Irving for US$52 million. They originally hoped that Lin Feng would have a fight with Real Madrid Chairman Florentino, but unexpectedly Lin Feng gave up on his own initiative. Especially after that, there was no news, which disappointed everyone.

But just when the outside world was disappointed, Lin Feng's Tottenham Hotspur suddenly broke out a shocking news. Tottenham Hotspur announced that it would invest 20 million US dollars to establish a "Tottenham Laboratory" to provide player health services.

Moreover, Mel Sherman, the number one figure in the "Milan Laboratory", was also poached.

The British media did not take this news very seriously. But for Italy, especially AC Milan, it was a very shocking news. "Milan News" denounced Lin Feng on the front page.

Tottenham Hotspur are a complete "thief" and "robber". They not only "steal" Italian talents, but also "steal" Italian technology. After all, the "Milan Laboratory" has now become famous and has been quoted by the Italian media.

I was proud of it. Who would have thought that now it would be completely moved by Lin Feng's Tottenham Hotspur.

If this news only shocked and angered the Italian media, the remaining news shocked everyone. Tottenham Hotspur acquired the Barcelona youth academy. Of course, this news is somewhat watery.
