Wenger wanted Li Kang to stay in North London for Christmas.

But the Arsenal coaching team was too busy.

Busy with what?

The winter transfer window was about to open, and they needed to bring in reinforcements!

This season had been a successful one, and the club's commercial endorsements, advertising revenue, broadcasting rights, Champions League prize money, and other comprehensive income had reached historic highs!

According to the normal European operating model:

The main purpose of winter signings is to strengthen the existing squad, and rarely do clubs spend heavily on top stars.

Only a few superstars in Premier League history have landed in the Premier League during the winter window, such as Suarez, Torres, and Henry.

...

During this historical period, Arsenal did not have a sporting director.

Wenger was the real deal.

"He's been a Manchester United fan since he was a kid, he won't come to Arsenal!"

Wenger gently pressed his hands down.

The venue instantly quieted down.

The Arsenal manager smiled and said, "Few people would refuse an invitation from Arsenal, especially stars who have played against Li."

Schweinsteiger's career plan was simply a failure.

He joined Manchester United when they were at a low ebb, ready to turn the tide, but he encountered all sorts of bad luck.

Now he has been abandoned by Mourinho and demoted to the reserve team list.

The difficulty of a loan is very low.

...

The big screen slowly switched.

Wenger patiently explained to the coaching staff and absorbed their opinions.

"Why are they all Manchester United players?"

"Damn it, Manchester United is really rich, the money spent on these discarded players would add up to almost 200 million, right?"

"Finally, there's a little black egg!"

"Russian Premier League? Zenit Saint Petersburg?"

"Witsel?"

Clap clap clap.

Wenger signaled everyone to be quiet again.

"Witsel, he has a strong grasp of the overall situation and rhythm, he is physically strong, has good feet, and is an excellent all-around midfielder."

Only then did everyone realize that the club's winter transfer targets were all top-level support players who were good at doing dirty work.

The key is that their footwork is not bad, and they are perfectly suited to Arsenal's passing system.

"Boss, how much are you planning to spend..."

"Loan."

Wenger had roughly calculated the accounts.

Arsenal's total revenue this season will break historical records.

There is no rush to buy people for the time being.

The money must be saved until the summer window to buy superstars in their prime.

"Boss, what's our winter transfer budget?"

"40,000 pounds."

"40 million pounds?"

"40,000 pounds."

"4 million pounds?"

"40,000 pounds, there's a little guy named Bramall who currently plays for a seventh-tier amateur team, he's a full-time employee at Bentley, and he was recently laid off, bring him to Arsenal, I admire his left foot."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

40,000 pounds?

The security guards at the training base could afford to buy him.

No one questioned Wenger's vision.

This 40,000 pounds will probably be multiplied a hundred or two hundred times soon... the return rate is comparable to when Leverkusen bought Li.

...

The winter transfer window is in full swing.

The major European powerhouses have not made any big moves for the time being.

One shocking transfer news after another made the Chinese Super League the focus of attention.

The world's number one money-burning league?

Chelsea's 25-year-old main midfielder - Oscar, transferred to the Chinese Super League for 65 million.

Watford's 27-year-old main striker - Ighalo, transferred to the Chinese Super League for 30 million.

Villarreal's 27-year-old main striker - Pato, transferred to the Chinese Super League for 25 million.

"The Beast" Tevez joined the Chinese Super League, and his weekly salary topped the world.

The top stars of the five major leagues have flocked to the "world's sixth league."

Of course, the value of many Chinese Super League local stars has also exceeded that of the main players of mid-table Premier League teams.

The winter investment of just two Chinese Super League clubs in a certain city exceeded 800 million euros... surpassing all of Europe.

The number of comments exploded wildly.

-【Winning the Chinese Super League has also become hellishly difficult!】

-【What about those small teams without money? Play in League One?】

-【Burning money is also fierce in League One!】

-【A professional player's golden age is only a few years, if going to the Chinese Super League earns several times more money than in Europe, why not go?】

-【This is a good thing, European top players can drive the competitive attitude of Chinese Super League local players, impart experience and skills, that's what the little guys next door used to do.】

-【Hehe, the Korean K-League and the Japanese J-League are going to cry, and the Middle Eastern oil tycoons too, encountering Chinese Super League teams in the AFC Champions League is nightmare difficulty!】

-【Don't just look at the players, look at the coaches too!】

-【World-famous coaches have also gathered in the Chinese Super League!】
