Chapter 242 Arsenal's Dilemma
The season training camp is about to start, but Wenger's brows can't be stretched. There have been huge changes in Arsenal's board of directors. The American owner Kroenke has taken a stake, and the new CEO Gazidis has taken office. David Dunn has left Arsenal.

At this time, Wenger is thinking about the lineup for the new season. Due to Adebayor's departure, Arsenal's center forward Li Yuxin has no substitute, what should he do next?He picked up the report on the table!
Speaking of which, Li Yuxin told Steve.Lawley mentioned these names and got the big scouts interested in going to Germany

steve.After Lawley returned from Germany, he handed over his investigation report on Gotze to Wenger.But at the same time, he also handed over his investigation report on Royce to Wenger.

Wenger understands Steve.Lawley means.

steve.Lawley's evaluation of Gotze is not low, it should be said that it is still very high.But attaching Royce's report is to tell Wenger that he admires Royce more and likes Royce more.

Wenger has a lot of respect for Steve.Lawley's report.

Both Gotze and Royce looked at the report carefully, and then said with a smile: "Excellent. Like Thierry."

"The German side thinks that his technical style is similar to Cristiano. Ronaldo is very similar."

"Hehe. Originally, Thierry and Cristiano Ronaldo are very similar."

steve.Laurie shrugged and said nothing.

Wenger thinks that Henry and Ronaldo have similar technical styles, but of course many people would disagree.But Steve.Lawley knew that if Ronaldo chose Arsenal back then, Ronaldo would probably follow Henry's path now.

If Wenger trained Ronaldo back then, he would probably use Henry as a template.

"how do you feel?"

"It has great potential. When you come, you can help the team."

"Then you mean..."

Wenger shook his head.

Wenger looked at Royce's report again.There is also the game screen of Royce and Gotze.But in the end he sighed and said: "German players are not very willing to go abroad and it is too expensive. 300 million euros is still too expensive. Until a few years later, we still have to tighten our belts. After that, we can talk about anything. But we still cannot introduce such expensive small players next summer. After all, other positions in the team also need to be supplemented."

Wenger felt a little regretful.

At this moment, Gazidis opened the door and entered!

Speaking of which, before Gazidis came to Arsenal, he was a vice-commissioner of the MLS, and what he did was to make money for the MLS.Later, he was dug to Arsenal by the chairman of the Arsenal club, Kroenke.

Historically, he came to Arsenal in 08.It was also the most difficult time for Arsenal's economy.

His ability to pull sponsorship is very strong.In other words, he has a strong ability to expand Arsenal's business development. After he became the CEO of Arsenal, Arsenal's income has also been rising steadily.In this regard, his contribution is still great.

And recently Arsenal signed several large sponsorship contracts.Although the contract started two or three years later, it made many people see his ability.

Arsenal can survive the most difficult economic moment. In addition to Wenger's ability to lead Arsenal into the Champions League every year and sell the captain every year to raise funds, there is also Gazidis' ability to earn money.

But Gazidis, the Yankee, doesn't understand football at all.

Arsenal vice-chairman David.When Dunn was around.In the transfer market he is at the top of Wenger's biggest list.Wenger has his eye on a certain player.David.Dunn can handle each other with ease.

But Gazidis, an idiot, was played around in the transfer market.

Not only is it slow to respond and have poor negotiation skills when introducing players, but it is also poor when selling players.None of those players can be sold for much.

Gazidis himself is very knowledgeable and aware of his shortcomings.Therefore, he only pays close attention to the club's commercial issues, and does not care about the sports issues at all, leaving them all to Wenger.

Originally, he was not interested in Li Yuxin.After all, Gazidis will not interfere with Wenger's authority in the field of competition.But now Gazidis immediately began to analyze the impact of Li Yuxin on Arsenal's economy.

"Moreover, Li is currently the only superstar player of Chinese origin playing in the mainstream European leagues. I checked and he has a very large influence in China. It is the same as the influence of Manchester United's Park Ji-sung in South Korea. If we have such a player at Arsenal, then we can overwhelm Manchester United and become the most popular club in China. Arsenal, you should know how strong the Chinese economy is now and how big the Chinese market is."

For Gazidis, what he values ​​most is the Chinese market.

At present, European giants are developing new markets.Including the North American market, the Chinese market, the Southeast Asian market, and the Middle East market.Among them, the Chinese market is definitely something that no one can ignore.

Even if China's per capita is still far behind developed countries, how can China have a population of 13 billion.

Such a huge population data.It is a huge market.Coupled with the rapid development of China's economy in recent years, it has attracted the enthusiasm of major European football clubs to develop the Chinese market.

Looking at the current European football giants, each of them can't wait to go to China to make money.Go to China to play two games, and when you come back, you can earn tens of millions of euros.Where can I find such a good thing.

Moreover, the Chinese market is getting bigger and bigger, and the development has gradually become more formal, which makes the world's giants even more eyeing the Chinese market.

Arsenal's weakness in this regard is very obvious.

In terms of overseas development, Manchester United is the boss.Arsenal's annual overseas income is less than Manchester United's 5000 million pounds.Now Arsenal has also begun to pay attention to overseas markets, otherwise Arsenal would not have gone to Hangzhou that year in history.

But it's already a lot late.

Compared with Real Madrid and Manchester United, Arsenal lags behind a lot in the Chinese market.In the past two years, we have only started to open some Arsenal stores in the Chinese market.But even if it is much later, the increase in income is visible.

With Lee Woo Shin, the situation would be very different.

And with Li Yuxin, it is estimated that various commercial activities inviting Arsenal will also increase a lot.These are money.

Twenty-three million euros?
As long as he has Li Yuxin, goes to China for a tour, and plays two games, Gazidis is sure to be able to recover 600 million euros.Adding some other scattered income, it is estimated that Li Yuxin's transfer fee will be able to earn back soon.

"Arsena, we must keep Li. He is a money printing machine, a super money printing machine."

Wenger didn't speak, just watched Gazidis excitedly there.After Gazidis finished speaking, he found that Wenger didn't respond, so he smiled sarcastically and said, "Arsena, what's your opinion?"

Wenger's status at Arsenal is very high.

Not only the leader in the field of sports, he can even intervene in the management of Arsenal.Of course, Gazidis is knowledgeable, and Wenger also knows that he cannot intervene in the management of the club at will.

Gazidis is very excited, but Wenger still needs to decide whether to go to Asia in the end.

If Wenger objects, then Gazidis is getting excited, which is useless.Because Wenger is the absolute leader in Arsenal's transfer field.

"Ivan, as long as there is no problem with money, of course I have no problem."

Suddenly Wenger smiled, making Gazidis stunned for a moment.But soon he was very excited, because Wenger agreed to the Asian tour. The arrival of this event is definitely the most important step for Arsenal to expand its influence in China.

Gazidis kept turning his head, thinking about how Arsenal will develop the Chinese market in the future.In the Chinese market, you should earn 4000 to [-] million euros every year.

steve.Lawley watched Gazidis fall into joy there, and couldn't help but said: "Ivan, even if we want to keep Lee, it depends on whether Lee is willing to continue to keep our Arsenal. Not one or two clubs have been in contact with him recently, even Real Madrid. And before I came back, I heard a news. Manchester City has already contacted Lee's agent Mendes. According to the news I got, Manchester City is willing to offer a weekly salary of 17 pounds and a signing bonus of 400 million pounds."

Upon hearing this, Gazidis couldn't help but said, "Damn upstart."

Gazidis is really angry with an upstart like Manchester City.Originally, Arsenal had no money, there were upstarts like Chelsea, Manchester City, and of course, bastard clubs like Real Madrid, who overestimated the value of European football players.

Players who originally had only 1000 million euros became 2000 million or 3000 million after their intervention.The most injured in this situation is a team like Arsenal.

Small teams can sell good players to make money.And the so-called traditional strong teams like Arsenal, who are not high enough but not low enough, want to be as fart as Real Madrid with history and background.Unless Arsenal's history can be compared with top giants like Real Madrid, they really have no advantage against Chelsea and Manchester City.

The highest salary at Arsenal is £11.And look at Manchester City, there are not one or two players with a weekly salary of more than 15 pounds.

Which player is willing to give up a weekly salary of 17 pounds and come to get a weekly salary of [-] to [-] pounds.But Gazidis still has to work hard. If he doesn't try hard to raise the white flag, it would be too embarrassing for Arsenal.

Of course Gazidis knows Li Yuxin's ability. This player is already one of the most popular shooters in the world today, and he is very likely to become one of those super great players. What's more, Li Yuxin is only [-] years old, and his future prospects are limitless.

Li Yuxin is too important, he won't leave now, and in the future, he doesn't have enough protection for his interests, talk about feelings, shit.Gazidis, whose interests are paramount, believes this very much!
Due to the heavy debt crisis, it is difficult for Arsenal to have big signings, otherwise they would not sell Adebayor and the others. Arsenal must find a way to earn enough money!
