Chapter 0370 The Craziest Winter Transfer Window In History

In fact, it is not a doomsday to be tied by Tottenham at the new Wembley Stadium.

Before that, they first defeated Burnley 2:0 in the 24th round of the Premier League, and then tied with their opponents 3:3 at Old Trafford Stadium in the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals with Manchester City, and eliminated their opponents with a total score of 5:4, and entered the English League Cup final for three consecutive years.

In the League Cup final, Manchester United's opponent will be Arsenal, which Ye Su likes very much.

Why do I say that? Since Ye Su took over Old Trafford, Manchester United has faced Wenger's team nine times in all major matches, with a record of 8 wins and 1 draw, which is a crushing result.

Facing Arsenal, even if Manchester United falls into an unfavorable situation, they can always survive in a miracle.

Many fans say that Manchester United has won the League Cup championship this season first.

Then, in the fourth round of the FA Cup last weekend, Manchester United defeated their opponent 4-0 away and successfully advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Manchester United still advances in four fronts, retaining the opportunity to recreate the miracle of two years ago.

Even if he was tied 2:2 by Tottenham in the Premier League this round and lost the top spot at the top of the standings, it does not mean that Manchester United is at a disadvantage in the Premier League championship.

Because the current situation in the Premier League is as follows: Manchester City ranked first with 21 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, Manchester United ranked first with 65 points, Manchester United won 20 wins, 4 draws, and ranked second with 1 point difference, but Manchester United played one round less, and their opponent was Premier League deputy team leader West Brom. With the current situation of the opponent, it is difficult to stop Manchester United from getting 3 points in the make-up match.

As long as we win this supplementary game, Manchester United will still return to the top of the standings with a 2-point advantage.

……………………

In fact, Manchester United regained the top spot in the Premier League standings without waiting for the make-up match.

The first Premier League game in February kicked off at 12:30 noon on February 3. The wine army Burnley was upset at Tefmore Stadium, tied the powerful Blue Moon Manchester City 1:1.

This day is the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month of the Chinese lunar calendar, and it is Ye Su's real birthday, his 33rd birthday.

Guardiola gave him a birthday gift early at noon.

Then, on that afternoon, Ye Su's disciples actually gave him a big gift.

At Old Trafford Stadium, although many fans cast banners protesting the Glazer family and despite some slogans that were disrespectful to Ye Su, Ye Su's disciples were very powerful and massacred Huddersfield 5:0 at home. Only one round of games later, they regained the top spot in the Premier League.

At this time, the winter transfer window has been closed, and the entire winter transfer market has come to an end.

According to incomplete statistics, a total of 516 transfer transactions were generated in this transfer window, and the transfer fees generated by clubs in the five major leagues reached 800 million pounds. Among them, the transfer fees generated by the Premier League this winter were as high as 560 million pounds, accounting for as high as 70% of the five major leagues.

……………………

In this transfer window, 8 of the top ten transfer transactions with the amount are related to the Premier League.

This winter window of the Premier League can be described as "crazy". Major teams have signed up to strengthen the team's lineup.

Chelsea officially announced that Arsenal French striker Giroud joins the team and signs a contract with the team for 18 months, and the contract will expire in 2020. Giroud will wear the Blues No. 18 jersey. According to multiple English media, the transfer fee is 18 million pounds. It should be noted that since Arsenal missed the Champions League this season, Giroud can play for the Blues in the Champions League knockout match.

Belgian striker Bashuay joins on loan. From now on, Bashuay will join Dortmund on loan. He will wear the No. 44 jersey of Bumblebee. It is reported that Bashuay's loan fee is 1.5 million pounds. Bashuay's joining is also an important reason why Dortmund lets Aubameyang go. Dortmund, Arsenal and Chelsea use Bashuay, Aubameyang and Giroud to make a three-party deal.

Tottenham officially announced that the team signed Paris winger Lucas Jr. The two sides signed the contract until 2023. Lucas Jr. will wear the No. 27 jersey. It was reported that Tottenham will pay a transfer fee of 25 million euros for Lucas Jr. In this winter transfer window, Arsenal, Naples, Real Betis, Beijing Guoan and Shandong Luneng in the Chinese Super League all had scandals with Lucas Jr., but in the end, Lucas Jr. decided to settle in Tottenham in North London.

Arsenal officially announced that Gabon striker Aubameyang officially transferred to Arsenal from Dortmund. It is reported that his transfer fee reached 56 million pounds and his contract was signed in 2021. According to previous news, Aubameyang's annual salary at Arsenal reached 10 million euros.

Premier League giant Manchester City officially announced that Laporte has joined, and Blue Moon has paid a penalty of 65 million euros for the French central defender. The two sides signed the contract until 2023, Laporte will wear Manchester City's No. 14 jersey.

Liverpool sold Coutinho, who had been trying to escape from Anfield for many years, and when he received a sky-high transfer fee, he poached Senegal's central defender from Manchester United, strengthening the team's biggest shortcoming.

On January 31, Beijing time, Chelsea Club announced on its official website that it will sign Roma full-back Emerson, who will wear No. 33, and the new contract will be until 2022. According to the Post, the transfer fee is 17.5 million pounds + 5.2 million pounds of floating terms.

In terms of transfer fees, it is nearly twice as high as 218 million in the last crazy winter window (2011).

In that winter window 7 years ago, Torres transferred from Liverpool to Chelsea with a record-breaking transfer fee from Premier League. Then, in order to fill the T9 position, Liverpool signed high center Carroll from Newcastle with a record-breaking transfer record of £35 million.

Coincidentally, the madness of this winter transfer window was still triggered by Liverpool. It was after they sold the Brazilian midfielder Coutinho to Barcelona for a sky-high price of 160 million euros that triggered a series of chain transactions, which eventually led to the madness of this winter transfer window.

Just as major Premier League teams are signing players to strengthen their team strength, the defending Premier League champion and the defending Champions League champion

Manchester United seemed unexpectedly calm. Red Devils coach Ye Su had previously made it clear that the team does not need to sign ups at the moment. In the end, although Manchester United introduced young player Ruben Dias from Portuguese Super League team Benfica during the transfer window, the 20-year-old defensive star did not use it as the team's immediate combat power to sign ups, but paved the way for the future.

In addition, before the transfer window was about to close, Manchester United sold the Senegal central defender for a sky-high price of 75 million pounds.

With this in and out, Manchester United actually had a net profit of up to 60 million pounds!

This means that the Red Devils will not improve much after the winter window. As the Champions League champion and the defending Premier League champion last season, Manchester United ranked second in the Premier League by 1 point when the winter window was closed.

Two weeks later, the European League will usher in the Champions League knockout stage, and Manchester United will usher in the fourth line of the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup. With Manchester United's current lineup thickness, what kind of performance can they have?
