After rejecting Liverpool, he was not worried that Benítez would give up. Because he knew that Liverpool desperately needed a striker like Crouch.
Sure enough, Liverpool's second offer was placed in front of Twain and Evan. This time, Liverpool offered a price that the current Forest team could hardly refuse: 11.5 million pounds!
Looking at the offer, Twain looked up and said to Evan with a smile, "The new European champion is really generous."
Evan nodded. "How about Crouch?"
"I haven't asked, but I don't think Crouch and his agent will refuse Liverpool's offer. The contract they offered is much better than what we're giving him now. "
Speaking of wages, the two men's attention shifted from Crouch's transfer to the team's wage structure adjustment.
"What restricts the development of the team now is not the transfer fee, but the player's wages. Evan, if we can't give the players a higher salary, no matter how many championship promises I give them, I can't attract them to join. This world is very realistic. You should know better than me that professional players play football for work and to earn money to support their families. "
"Well … I'm also considering this issue. The club will allow you to have a higher salary ceiling. As for the players who have already been signed, it will be slowly adjusted through contract renewals … "
After the two men discussed the appropriate amount of the highest salary standard, they also agreed to sell Crouch for cash.

The next day, Nottingham Forest replied to the Liverpool Football Club and agreed to Liverpool's offer. Now Benítez could discuss the details of the contract with Crouch's agent. There was nothing for the Forest team and Twain to do.
Crouch's departure from the Forest team was almost a foregone conclusion. Benítez spent 11.5 million pounds to solve Liverpool's forward problem. And Twain still had to continue to worry about the strikers. He really had nowhere to spend his money now.
The striker was related to a team's goals and indirectly to the team's results. This position was very important, so Twain's requirements were also very demanding. He could not just randomly find a second-rate striker from the domestic league and do it. Because the Forest team was going to play in the UEFA Champions League this season, it was best to find a striker with European experience. It would not do if he was too young. The Forest team was not short of young strikers. Now the Forest team's requirement was that he was in his prime and did not need the team to cultivate him.
There were many strikers in European football and world football, and there were also many outstanding strikers. However, when these conditions were combined, there were not many who met Tang En's requirements.
If Forest did not play in the Champions League, Tang En could still buy Harewood back from West Ham United. After all, Harewood was also a speedy striker. Furthermore, he believed that if Forest were to issue a call, he would be happy to return to the City Ground stadium and play under Tang En.
However, in Tang En's eyes, Harewood was still a little short of what he wanted.
Just as Tony Twain was at his wit's end regarding the team's forward signings, the Nottingham Forest Football Club received a call. The man on the other end of the line claimed to be the agent of the French striker, Nicolas Anelka. He hoped to discuss Anelka's intentions to transfer to the Forest Team with Tony Twain.
When he heard the news, Tang En was stunned for a long time. Back when he was looking for a suitable striker, he had searched the football world, but he did not think of the name Anelka. The French, who were far away from the mainstream of European football, seemed to have been forgotten by the world.
He vaguely remembered that Anelka had transferred from Manchester City to the Turkish team, Fenerbahçe, at the last moment of last season's winter transfer window.
It had only been half a season. What? Anelka's two agent brothers could not stand the loneliness anymore?
