Bab 678: Bendtner’s Ambition

The outside news media heard about Manchester City's desire to acquire Nottingham Forest's number two center forward, Nicklas Bendtner, almost exactly at the same time Twain saw the piece of news on his desk. It was clear that the Manchester City club deliberately revealed it to the outside world.

Just like how Tony Twain was close to <Nottingham Evening Post>, the Manchester City club must have been on close terms with one or two media, which could speak up on their behalf during key moments. Their reward would be to know "the insider story" earlier than any other media.

Twain was in a daze as he held the Manchester City club's offer.

There had been news of some clubs interested in Bendtner in previous seasons, but none had come true. On the one hand, Twain would not sell his team's future number one center forward; on the other, Bendtner's father, who was also his spokesman, had announced more than once that his son would not leave the Forest team.
