"Graeme, you can talk about the people on this list one by one in the order I just wrote them down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because time is pressing, I will leave the domestic transfer to you. Arthur arranged.

"No problem, but time is limited, maybe I can only talk about one or two." Souness happily agreed, coming to England as a manager, this is the first transfer period that Souness has been contacted, so he does not have the problems of those old-fashioned English coaches, and is quite satisfied with Arthur's letting him be in charge of the transfer of domestic players independently.

"What about me? Just this one Alonso? Or is it a lease? Seeing that Arthur had given a large portion of the power that had been his own to Souness, Mensa Bonsu asked as he tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction.

"No, no, compared to me and Graeme in China, in fact, your workload is bigger and more important! Because in addition to Spain, you will have to go to Italy, Portugal and France, and the task is very heavy. Arthur looked directly into Mensa Bonsu's eyes, and said in an extremely sincere tone: "Such a large amount of work, I believe that only you can do it." ”

In fact, it is not Arthur fooling Mensa Bangsu, although he is indeed trying to take back the transfer rights from Mensa Bangsu.

The target of this transfer, in addition to the surprise that Souness gave Finnan on the transfer application, most of Arthur's target is really on Mensa Bonsu's work list.

In Arthur's plan, the trip to Italy is for the team's striker next season and beyond, Luka Toney.

The 23-year-old played for Treviso in Serie B last season, scoring 15 goals in 35 appearances for the team, and Arthur believes that Blackburn Rovers are the most suitable and capable - the rest of the strikers either lack potential and have little future development, or have a bright future, but are currently mediocre and young.

Therefore, in Arthur's view, Toney, who can score 15 goals in the Italian secondary league, can grow up with Blackburn, who is destined to be promoted to the Premier League and enter the Champions League in the future, and on the other hand, he can also contribute this season, which is Arthur's number one goal in the forward line.

"Luca Toney?" Souness heard Arthur's answer, nodded in surprise, and said: "I have also paid attention to this Italian big man, he is a very strong center forward, and he is not very old, so he is a very good choice. ”

"Well, in addition to Toney, I'm also interested in two defenders in Portugal, 22-year-old centre-back Ricardo Carvalho and 21-year-old Paulo Ferreira." Arthur said with a bit of urgency.

For Carvalho and Ferreira, the two Portuguese defenders from Mourinho's Chelsea period, Arthur is extremely greedy.

Toney may also have to face the risk of adapting to the style of the English football league, but it is completely unnecessary for Ferreira and Carvalho, who have historically been the Blues' main defenders, especially since the latter was even one of the best centre-backs in the world during his time with the Blues.

And for Arthur, it doesn't have to be too much of a price to pay for getting these two future A-list stars at the moment.

'Graeme, these two young defenders are the replacements I have chosen for the team's backline and the 'future' of the team. Arthur explained to Souness that he didn't want the manager's positioning of Ferreira and Carvalho to be too different from his own vision.

After explaining to Souness, Arthur said to Mensah Bounsu: "We don't have to pay too much for these two young defenders, especially Pacos Ferreira, who is only a free agent at the moment, and we only need a very small signing fee to have this very solid full-back. Carvalho, on the other hand, have a little trouble, and although he was loaned to Setúbal in the Portuguese Super League last season, Porto are still optimistic about Carvalho's future. ”

Hearing "Porto" and "optimistic", Mensa Bangsu frowned slightly, after all, although the reputation of Porto's black store is not yet obvious, it is also a difficult club to deal with in the transfer market, and Mensa Bangsu, who was Blackburn's former transfer master, has naturally heard of it.

"Mensa, don't worry too much." Arthur was relieved after seeing Mensa Bonsu's expression: "Although Porto is quite optimistic about Carvalho's future, as far as I know, Porto are still ready to send him out on loan this season, so we can take the initiative to submit a loan application, we can offer a higher loan fee like Alonso, and write a buyout clause in the loan agreement, which is also up to you under 5 million pounds." ”

Arthur did not take all the transfer power away from Mensa Bonsu at once, after all, it is very likely to lead to a strong revolt by the latter, and there will be a big turmoil in the club, so whether it is the buyout clause in the loan agreement between Alonso and Carvalho, or Toney's transfer fee and Ferreira's signing fee, they all give Mensa Bonsu relative absolute autonomy after setting a ceiling.

"What about France? This year's European Championship in France is really a ride! Souness asked.

Although the relationship between England and France has always been a European feud, with the victory of the World Cup in '98 and the summit of Euro 2000, French football has become the most important force to be reckoned with in world football.

"Hehe, Graeme, although I also covet the talented players in France, those are not the objects that Blake could have attracted at the moment." Arthur smiled bitterly: "Our goal this time is just to find a replacement for the team's striker, a young striker who plays at Le Mans in Ligue 2. ”

If you are a veteran fan, after noticing keywords such as "Ligue 2 Le Mans" and "young striker", you will definitely scold Arthur for hypocrisy, because his target this time is Didier, the "monster" who has won the Premier League Golden Boot twice and is known as one of the best center forwards of the 21st century? Drogba.

However, Arthur's description is not wrong, because the current Drogba can only play as a substitute after arriving at Blackburn - even if Blackburn Rovers only play in the English second division.

At his peak, Drogba had the impact of a monster, the speed of a cheetah, and the strong physique of a lion, and was a nightmare for top defenders. Excellent sense of smell in front of goal, decisive kick at the goal, so that no matter how good the goalkeeper is, there is nothing to do.

But the current Drogba?

Hehe, just a weakened version of Husky, at best Blackburn's backup forward.

However, at present, the height that this big rough brother can reach in the future is only clear to Arthur.

"Mensa, those who can work hard, so I still need you to go to Le Mans, it's okay?" Arthur asked, feigning concern.

"No problem." Mensa Bangsu wasn't one of those stupid white sweets, but now that Arthur had given instructions and detailed explanations, he could only reluctantly accept them.

"That's it, Mensah, you go and prepare, send a fax to Real Sociedad, Porto and a few other clubs today, and you can go over tomorrow." Arthur cut through the mess quickly, he didn't want to give Mensa Bonsu time to make small adjustments in private.

"That's right, Mensa." Just when Mensa Bangsu was depressed, Arthur made up for it.

"Mensah, because I have another transfer target, but it's just a small defender substitute and it's in China, so I don't plan on letting you go." Arthur's opening this time made Mensa Bangsu confused, after all, the current Chinese football world for English football, except for a few names such as Fan Zhiyi, a Chinese player who is playing in League One, can really be said to be a complete football fog country and desert.

"Hmm." Mensa Bonsu answered, not understanding what Arthur was going to say.

"You can't be separated, Graeme has his mission, but if we send a low-level employee to China, thousands of miles away, to negotiate a transfer with the club there, the other party will definitely not pay attention." Arthur was analysing for Mensa Bonsu.

"Hmm." Mensa Bangsu nodded again, but a haze was already in his heart.

Sure enough, Arthur's plot was exposed: "In order to show the importance of the club, but the club's top management can't be separated, so I'm going to create a new position of sports director and let him negotiate on behalf of the team." Mensa, this is just a false position, I hope you don't mind. ”

"Hehe, how come?" Mensa Bangsu finally suppressed his emotions and said with an ugly face.

Although Arthur said "this is just a fictitious position", and Mensa Bangsu also said that he didn't mind, everyone can see that Arthur's new sports director is to check and balance Mensa Bangsu, the vice president of the club, that is, to justifiably divide most of the power that originally belonged to Mensa Bangsu.

Souness watched the young but fierce and direct Arthur and Mensa Bonsu fight, and was silent with his eyes and nose.

"That's good, I'm afraid you'll be too careful. Mensa, you know, Blackburn and I can't live without you. Arthur squinted and smiled, not knowing how much he looked like a cunning fox in the eyes of Mensa Bonsu and Souness.
