Chapter 292
Even with the confirmation from Barcelona officials and Henry himself, Arsenal did not respond to Henry's transfer at first.
But after Henry's interview was reported by L'Equipe, the increasingly fierce public opinion made Arsenal management unable to sit still.
First, Wenger responded, saying that he would not leave Arsenal, and now he has entered the final stage of judgment with the club, and will soon reach a contract extension agreement.
Arsenal updated a touching video of more than ten minutes on its official website to commemorate Thierry Henry, who spent 8 years of his youth in Arsenal.
Li Shiguang watched the video carefully.
However, the comments under the video are not so friendly!
It seems that even if the "professor" personally responded, the fans still have many complaints about their meritorious captain leaving the team.
Just when everyone focused their attention on Arsenal, which fired the first cannon of the Premier League giants' transfer.
It's Barcelona again, and this Spanish giant has pointed its gun at the fans of Leeds United.
On the morning of June 26, Barcelona's official website was updated again.
It announced that it had signed Leeds United midfielder Yaya Toure and central defender Gerard Pique, with transfer fees of 25 million euros and 7 million euros respectively.
After missing the Champions League quarterfinals last season and losing the league title at the last moment, the La Liga giant finally opened its wallet in the summer and spent nearly 60 million euros to strengthen the team's three lines.

Thorpe Arch Training Base.
In Li Shiguang's office.
Alan was looking at the laptop in front of him and asked Li Shiguang with a worried look on his face: "Boss, when will we announce the joining of several new players? The messages from fans on the official website these days are all about this!"
"What are you panicking about? Is Wang Chu's matter settled?" Li Shiguang didn't care about Alan's question at all, after all, the king bomb only appeared at the end.
"Done." Allen nodded. "Metz wanted 1 million euros at first, but I didn't agree. After a few days of arguing, they gave up. After all, 800,000 euros, I guess no other team would spend this money to buy a Chinese youth player except us."
"Well, that's fine." Li Shiguang nodded with satisfaction, and said after a little thought, "So, you update the players promoted from the youth team on the official website first to appease the fans. As for the media, ignore them for now."
"Okay, I'll arrange someone to do it later." Allen quickly agreed, and then said, "By the way, boss, there are two more things. One is that I received an email from Real Madrid yesterday. They want to buy back Garcia."
Li Shiguang blinked, a little surprised: "So early?"
In Li Shiguang's memory, Xavi Garcia will be bought back by Real Madrid next year. Buying back now, it is probably because of his appearance that changed this history. But it doesn't matter. With the gradual stabilization and improvement of Leeds United's midfield lineup, Garcia's playing time has been greatly reduced. It is estimated that he will not complain about returning to Spain to play football.
"Ah? What so early?" Allen obviously didn't quite understand what Li Shiguang meant.
Li Shiguang smiled and didn't answer Allen's question. He just said calmly: "No problem, just follow the original repurchase agreement, don't let Calderon get away with it."
"Okay." Allen nodded and wrote it down. "The second thing is that West Ham United offered Mills 4 million euros. Do you think we should accept this offer? Mills is almost 30 years old..."
Mills?
Li Shiguang frowned subconsciously.
Compared with Garcia, Li Shiguang has a deeper affection for the only remaining veteran of Leeds United.
In fact, Allen's words just now were not finished. In addition to the disadvantage of age, Mills' situation in the team should be more difficult than Garcia.
Garcia occasionally gets a chance to play, while Mills is kept on the bench by several young full-backs and often can't even make the game list.
In terms of strength.
In Li Shiguang's mind, Mills is the third choice after Sun Jihai!
"Hey... don't panic yet." Li Shiguang temporarily rejected Allen's proposal, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll call Mills to ask for his opinion. After all, he is a player who has gone through the most difficult times with us. In matters such as transfers, we still have to respect his ideas."
"Okay, then I'll go ahead."
Allen was not surprised by Li Shiguang's attitude.
His boss is so weird!
He is colder than a vampire, butWhen it's emotional, it's hard to predict.
····
Li Shiguang didn't waste time. As soon as Allen closed the door, he took out his phone and called Mills.
"Boss, good morning!"
Soon, accompanied by the sound of the waves, Mills' voice rang on the phone.
"Danny, where are you on vacation?"
"In Spain, the sun is shining here, boss, what do you want to talk about?"
"Well, there is something." Li Shiguang thought about it for a while and explained the purpose of his call, "Danny, the club received an offer for you, I want to hear your own opinion."
"Offer for me? Who?" Mills' voice was a little puzzled, and he obviously didn't expect Li Shiguang to call him to talk about this matter.
"West Ham United."
Where Li Shiguang couldn't see him, Mills' mouth sank, his face full of grievance: "Boss, are you going to sell me?"
"Hey, hey, hey, you big bald head, speak normally! If I'm going to sell you, why would I call you!?"
"Then I won't go!" Hearing that Li Shiguang didn't want to sell him, Mills didn't hesitate at all and immediately rejected the invitation from West Ham United.
Not going?
Now it was Li Shiguang's turn to figure it out.
Before making this call, Li Shiguang had already imagined a picture in his mind of Mills with tears in his eyes, bidding farewell to him on the phone.
But what's the matter with Mills's decisive attitude now?
Is Leeds United so good?
"No, Danny, don't make a decision so quickly."
Li Shiguang frowned and decided to have a good chat with Mills from the perspective of his career: "I believe you know your current situation in the team. To be honest, West Ham United is not bad. If you go, your playing time should be much higher than it is now, which will be of greater help to your career!"
