The shining new football stars were all taken a long time ago. In that case, what could Nottingham Forest, a new Premier League team that was neither as influential as the powerhouses nor able to promise better wages to those players, use to attract them? Perhaps the only thing that it could offer was "participation in the next season's UEFA Europa League"….But for players who were being contested over by various powerhouses, which one of them would still care about the qualifications for the UEFA Europa league? Shouldn't their battlefield be the UEFA Champions League instead?
It really was really a paradox; the players who had caught Tang En's eye would not show the slightest interest in Nottingham Forest, while the players who would be interested in Nottingham Forest would not have caught Tang En's eye.
