For a mid to lower level team or a team that aimed to make it to the European arena next season, a transfer budget of twenty-nine million euros was not considered low, but for a team that aspired to defend multiple titles and aimed to make a historic breakthrough in the English FA Cup, twenty-nine million might be enough to buy one player.
Twain had to plan meticulously and calculate carefully. The day he could sign a check as long as he liked it was destined to be a dream.
Perhaps it had to do with Twain being a Chinese man. He was not particularly extravagant when it came to the transfer fees. The transfer budget given by the team last summer had not run out and the club made money from the sale of Anelka and Ashley Young.
As long as he carefully planned and determined his targets, with some good luck, it was not impossible to buy good and cheap players with 29 million.
