Chapter 139 Christmas is Coming
$150 million?This summer's European bid king Shearer transfer worth 2400 million US dollars, 150 million US dollars can't even buy a leg of Shearer, this summer Bordeaux introduced Pavel Nedved also spent more than 300 million.

Fan Shang didn't understand Lao Le's report, but Fan Shang looked at Francois with help-seeking eyes, and Francois nodded to Fan Shang at this time, and then secretly made a gesture of three under the table.

Fan Shang understood at this moment, "Louis, 150 million won't even buy a player's leg, and 600 million won't be less than a penny."

……

After some fierce competition, Vincent and Theo finally set the number at 300 million.Fortunately, there is Francois by his side, otherwise there would be no transfer fee.

300 million is really a lot for Bordeaux, and Vincent has room to operate.Finalize the list before Christmas and start negotiations after the holidays.

Since the quota of foreign aid has been exhausted, Fan Shang can only find it in his own country. First, the position of right back. Fan Shang searched the list of French clubs at all levels, and finally locked two names, William Gallas and Willy. Sagnol, both of them are 20 years old, Gallas is a substitute in Caen, Sagnol has already played the main force in Saint-Etienne, but Saint-Etienne is now in the second division, and the ranking Back, so Vincent is more inclined to Sagnol, Sagnol's characteristics are also very similar to Lizarazu, so that the two full-backs of Bordeaux can fly together.

The midfielder, it must be Makelele, this needs to be discussed, no matter whether it can be bought or not, we must make a statement, at least let Makelele know that Vincent needs him.

Striker Vincent replaced Trezeguet, and Henry made his mark in Monaco, but now Trezeguet is still sitting on the bench in Monaco, it would be good if he can be pried over.

François is also very fast. As soon as he received the list given to him by Vincent, he began to communicate with their club.Of course, the first is to finalize the agreement with Sharuto. Frey and Zebina agree to go to Sharuto for training. Bancarel thinks that he should go to a first-tier team, and he is inclined to transfer. After all, he really doesn't have many opportunities in Bordeaux.

One after another, Fan Shang received several more invitations, and the plot reversed quickly. Fan Shang, who was still worrying about Christmas just now, turned out to be a favorite.

Fan Shang was actually a little tangled at this time, he hoped that Emily could call him brother, but if Emily called him brother, then what would he call Papan.

After considering for a while, Fan Shang decided to go to Papan's house.Song was very enthusiastic when he invited him, but he heard from little Alexander Song that there are more than a dozen people living in their family now, such a huge family still makes Fan Shang feel a little scared.François was close to him, Vincent could go there anytime, he didn't care about whether there was a festival or not.Papan is now the general under Fan Shang, and now it is different from the original history. Papan, who should have been sunk, has now reinvigorated his state. This old fritters not only picked up his shooting boots again, but also created for his teammates. Opportunities are also slowly opening up, such an old goblin is especially important to the young Bordeaux.

At Christmas, Fan Shang brought a bottle of Tianchao Maotai and a plush toy for Emily to the villa where Papin lived.In fact, Papin's home is quite close to the club, and it can be regarded as a rich area in Bordeaux, surrounded by various wineries.

"Boss, come to our house for Christmas, Emily hopes to see you."

"Thank you, Uncle." Emily smiled sweetly.

Malouda's transfer, Francois also quickly completed. After Frey and Zebina joined Charruto on loan, they immediately let go of Malouda's transfer fee. In the end, Malouda transferred to Bordeaux. It has become free, but it includes two conditions, one is to continue to loan two to three players for free next year, and the other is that if Malouda wins the league championship with Bordeaux this season, Bordeaux will pay Sharuto an additional sum. The cost is around $20.

Not long after, Fan Shang received another call from Papan.

"Thank you, if there are no accidents, I will go." Francois is still reliable, Fan Shang thought to himself.

Fan Shang also talked on the phone with his father who is far away in China, communicated about the current investment situation, and looked forward to future earnings by the way.

"Hello, beautiful lady, and you, little Emily." Vincent greeted, and then handed the gift box containing plush toys to Emily, "This is a Christmas present for our little Emily."

Fan Shang started to worry about his vacation after getting a general understanding of the market.He found that there is no one to accompany him for Christmas this year. His only family now, Fan Shang’s old man has flown back to his hometown in China for the first pot of gold. Go to see it once, and no one cares about it at other times.But soon, Fan Shang's worries became superfluous.

"Boss, welcome." Papin hugged Vincent, and then Papin introduced, "This is Emily, this is my wife Florence; Emily, Florence, this is our master." Coach Mr. Fan Shang"

Before Christmas, I simply asked about the intention and price, and the feedback I got was actually within Vincent's expectations.Monaco replied the fastest. Trezeguet can be sold, and he can take it away with 1000 million US dollars.Nantes replied the most firmly. Makelele is the most important player of the team, and he can only say two words about his transfer, not for sale.The situation of the remaining two players is very ambiguous. Caen means that Gallas is a player with great potential in the team and he does not want to sell it yet. Saint-Etienne's attitude towards Sagnol is also very Resolute, but their attitude, which is about to be relegated in the second division, is really lacking in confidence.

"Fan Shang, I knew your father had returned to China, so come to me this Christmas, Ruili and I are waiting for you at home." François said it as a matter of course.

Fan Shang also has his own selfishness. Papan has not been retiring for a long time. Originally, he would become a coach after retiring. Now is the time for Fan Shang to expand his coaching staff.In Vincent's mind, although he is unknown in French football, if his assistant coach is a representative figure of France in a certain era, then many things will be easier for him. Battistone and Le Maire let him Fan Shang felt the benefits.By the way, what is Platini doing?It would be perfect if he could also come and give him a shot.Fan Shang is so flirtatious.

Fan Shang didn't know when the news that he was going to spend Christmas alone spread in the club.Immediately he received the invitation, of course the first one must be Vincent's old partner Francois.

After a while, Song knocked on the door and entered Fan Shang's office, also inviting Fan Shang to their home for Christmas.

Fan Shang agreed, let Bancarel find another home by himself, Fan Shang will not set up difficulties for him in the transfer, if the price is right, he will definitely let him go.

"Ma'am, Christmas wishes from far away China at this time." Fan Shang picked up the bottle of Maotai
"Just call me Florence, I can call you Fan Shang." Looking at this young head coach who was about the same age as her younger brother, Florence really couldn't use honorifics. "Hurry up and get in the house"

"Why not?" Fan Shang walked into Papan's house politely.

The house of the Papin family is a standard French manor-style villa. If it is a little taller, it can be called a castle.Originally, Papin was just planning to rent a house in Bordeaux, and leave immediately after the transfer, but he and his wife made a decision after returning from the United States. They bought this villa in the suburbs of Bordeaux and planned to live here permanently.The interior decoration is very simple, like Papan's current style, not gorgeous but practical.

This Christmas, Fan Shang had a very happy time. There is something called warmth in Papin's house. The Papin and his wife are very fond of Emily.Today, Fan Shang and Papin and his wife are all around Emily. Emily, whose condition has improved, is more lively now. It may be that she rarely sees strangers. Fan Shang is not annoying when she asks Fan Shang. Li chatted quite speculatively.But the child, tired of playing early in the evening, was carried back to the room by Papan.
