Isaac(club owner) POV
As we resumed to the stadium and entered the VIP section and watched the head referee getting ready to kickoff the game, I was looking at some reports of some up and coming young players on whom we need to act fast to avoid what happened in endrick's case who ignored us immediately some people came into play.
"So for any transfer less than $15 million, you and the head of scouting can discuss and make the purchase for a total of not more than $100 million per year, that is your maximum autonomy, anything more than that it has to go through the sporting and football directors and I'm expecting everyone to work hand in hand and always relate information to each other, okay?" I ask of the head of Youth director.
"Okay, sir. I think thats a very good plan, it would allow us to make quick signings when necessary and avoid bidding wars when the information goes round". He gushes out happily.
"Well , for players that are getting close to first team level abilities among our youth players, you can have the internal scout and analyst send their details to the football director and head coach office, let them decide whether to add them to the first team or send them out on loan".
"Oh, and you can add your recommendation as well as a sort of advise and what you think is the best for the players.". I ask of him.
"That's no problem, sir". He replied. "That's all, the head of recruiting and transfers want to see you sir".
"Okay, send him in". I inform him.
All of a sudden a loud noise came from the stand and we saw players in red celebrating in front of the Stretford end.
And from the commentators booth came a gushing voice.
"Goooooaaaaal, what a brilliant team goal from Manchester United, a goal the likes has been rare from them in a none counter attacking style, a goal expected more from the likes of Barcelona, Manchester City, Arsenal, Bayern and the noble Madridistas. This goal is like a declaration from the red devils that all of Europe should beware they are coming back for their rightful throne at the top".
"Originating from De gea's short goal kick to Martinez, the ball was touched a total of 43 times in 2 minutes without losing the ball switching plays, going slow, going fast, they kept on leading Bournemouth by the noose, scattering their set up and making them ripe for the kill before adding the straw that broke the camel's back. Look at their faces see the distraught way they are looking at their coach like a messiah to come save them from the devil that is Manchester United and look at the simple but earnest smile in the faces of this Manchester players, even frimpong seemingly rushed debut shows no lags, what a great team they are becoming and this is just the start. Lucky Manchester United fans, seems your team would give you a lot of joy in the coming months if not years".
" Oh partner you couldn't have said it any better, from a technical point of view this goal has all the element of a great team goal, fluid movement, quick passing, transposition and most importantly creativity".
" They just showed why other teams seems to have start taking them a whole lot more serious". A second voice said.
The reshow on the big television just about showed why these commentators seems crazy about the goal, when I looked up, the head of recruiting and transfers was right by my side
Well, what do you have for me and my team, I want to dethrone Madrid, and for that a very good team isn't enough.
We need to be just about the very best to rule Europe and I'm not shying of any amount it's going to cost us to achieve that.
Well about that sir, we have already finished negotiations with the Nigerian striker Victor Boniface and we've already agreed with Royal ST. Gilliose for a 12 million dollars price, he would be joining the team on Friday after his medicals on Thursday.
For the midfielder after Ericksen injury in training and we decided to get a new Central midfielder, we've been trying to lure Enzo as per your orders and he's already tempted but the benficans don't want to sell, preferring to defer until the summer or we trigger his release clause which is about $128 million about €120 million".
Well about benfica I've always wanted to have a discussion about scouting and academy planning with them, I will see them tomorrow myself.
For Kimmich who has less than 2 years left in his contract, we've been talking to him but he seems more likely to go to three of Madrid, Barca or Man City if he decides to look for new challenges.
