Chapter 47 Free Trading
In the transfer market every summer, some heavyweight signings often become "blockbusters" that sensational transfer market, and tens of millions of signings often become the headlines of sports pages of major media. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, there are also some signings, although not very remarkable, that can often serve the function of "doing good things for a small fee", or even "doing good things without spending money", which are free agents and loan players who use the Boseman Rule.
In this season's transfer market, this type of transfer is more popular in order to save costs.
AC Milan are probably the team that is the best at taking advantage of this approach. The Rossoneri have had to be frugal as Berlusconi has reduced their spending in recent years, with Ronaldinho, Zambrotta and Borriello almost spending Milan's transfer budget, but Milan's no-spending business seems to be more convincing: the loan signing of Senderos, strong and upright, is more than capable of solving the urgent needs of Milan's defensive line.
Other teams in Serie A are also happy about this, and Serie A has been financially poor for many years, and in the transfer market, it has always been defeated by the golden dollar policy of La Liga and the Premier League. This year, the teams have increased their investment, but they still lose no time in "taking advantage of some small advantages".
Juventus sign Swedish defender Melberg for free; Fiorentina have loaned Almiron and Zauri from Juventus and Lazio respectively; Atalanta signed Vieri, Cagliari brought in Italian striker Acquafreca on loan from Inter Milan, Palermo signed Liverani and French striker Melo and Siena loaned midfielder Barusso from Roma.
Similar to AC Milan, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are also "unstoppable". They are the best at "poaching" from other teams in the Bundesliga, as soon as the end of last season, Bremen big player Bolovski announced that he would join Bayern Munich for free, in addition, the old goalkeeper Bout also defected from Benfica, and the value is also "0".
A few days ago, Bayern Munich successfully loaned Otto from Milan, and the joining of these players, although not as "brilliant" as Bayern Munich's spending last season, are all experienced and extraordinary.
Other teams in the Bundesliga have also adopted loan and free signings, which may be a form of desperation due to poor financial resources. Bremen have loaned Pizarro from Chelsea, Stuttgart have acquired veteran goalkeeper Lehmann for free, Birmingham City striker Faisel has joined Hannover for free, and Iranian striker Hashmian has gone to Bochum, who also spent nothing. Throughout the Bundesliga, almost every team has players brought in "for nothing".
In contrast, the Premier League is clearly deep-pocketed, with many teams spending a lot of money and often "dismissing" loan or free means, although there are exceptions.
Arsene Wenger has been a thrifty family for many years and signed the 21-year-old Bischoff from Bremen for free this season; Benitez spends a lot of money, but also brings in defender Degen from Borussia Dortmund for free; Promoted Mastoke City and Hull City have been skewed in the mix, with the former signing free agent Norwegian goalkeeper Sorensen and the latter getting Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Menti and Manchester City striker Giovanni for free.
On July 6, Blackburn officially announced that the team had signed a four-year contract with former Arsenal midfielder Flamini until June 2012 with a weekly salary of £60,000.
Flamini's contract with Arsenal expires at the end of the season, so his signing is a free transfer, and Flamini's free signing has left Wenger frustrated, but the whole Rose Theatre has been excited.
Flamini rejected the club's lucrative contract extension despite the retention of his mentor Arsene Wenger, insisting on a move to Blackburn. In an interview with ESPN on Wednesday, "The Traitor" Flamini said that joining Blackburn was a lifelong dream and he could not resist the temptation.
"I've always loved Blackburn Rovers and I've been a big fan of them. So when the opportunity arose to come to Blackburn, I couldn't turn down such an offer. "For my part, I'm hungry to win trophies." And Chairman Walker has said that a great team always has many championships. Coming here to fight with them makes it easier for me to move forward. ”
Arthur then revealed an intriguing background to reporters, with Juventus and Barcelona also interested in Flamini at the time, but Blackburn's glamour could not be stopped.
Arthur said proudly: "He was the focal point of the whole of Europe and he made me feel that very much. We had secret contacts in Paris, unlike other clubs, where we were not discovered. ”
Flamini was the star of Blake's pre-season training camp, but his shine was overshadowed by Ballack, who later returned to the team, and is the Frenchman afraid of competing with the German national team captain?
Flamini disagreed: "My goal is to do better at Blackburn and one day I want to be part of the national pair, but the decision is up to Domenech." ”
How strong is Flamini, Arthur doesn't think, because in the position of the back, the Blue Devils' lineup is too amazing, not to mention the 35-year-old Makelle, let's say that Alonso, Ballack, Cambiasso and Diarra in the playing year, which one is not the best contender for the best back in the Premier League?
It's just that it's a thing like picking up cheap for free and being able to hit competitors, how could Arthur not do it?
Although Flamini's £60,000 weekly salary is really not cheap, but with his free agent transfer, it is a cabbage price.
In fact, Arthur has always been very incomprehensible about Wenger's handling of player contract renewal, Flamini, a player who can play the absolute main force at Arsenal, Wenger has been unable to complete the renewal of the contract until the other party's contract expires, and finally let the other party transfer to other teams as a free agent, which completely damages the communist spirit of self-interest and others!
The reason why Blackburn chose to sign Flamini is not only because of the "delicious" status of the opponent's free agent, but also because of the reduction of the Blue Devils in the team's midfield position - Makelele.
Claude Makelele has been mired in transfer rumours in recent weeks, with Paris Saint-Germain boss Le Gon making it clear last summer that he was interested in the French midfielder, only to opt for a one-year contract extension with Blackburn.
Le Guin's interest in Makelele has revived in recent months, with whom he held talks earlier this month, while the French veteran was interested in an invitation from Paris.
The 35-year-old has been with Blackburn Rovers for five years, and his contract expires in the summer of 2009.
Makelele, who has made 220 appearances for Blackburn Rovers to date, is known as the "Master of Silence", and former Real Madrid president Florentilo has admitted to three unforgivable mistakes he made in the transfer process, one of which was the release of Makelele to Blackburn.
The "older the more demonic" midfield tough guy was thought to fade away, but last season he showed a very high level of competition in the multi-front for Blackburn, and was not at all below the likes of Diarra.
Makelele is also a champion and former Blackburn Rovers boss Jose Mourinho has said that some people are born champions, and Makelele is clearly one of them.
Makelele joined Blackburn Rovers from Real Madrid in 2003 and the French defender quickly gained a regular place after arriving at the Blues, but in recent seasons with the maturation of Diarra and Cambiaso, as well as the arrival of Ballack, Makelele has been less and less available in Blackburn's squad, and the 35-year-old has considered returning to his home country before the end of the season, and now PSG have confirmed that they are close to signing Makelele.
Blackburn's official website also confirmed on Monday local time that they have terminated Makelle's contract - in fact, Paris Saint-Germain also had an offer of 2 million euros for Makelele, but Arthur signaled that Monchi rejected the offer and terminated Makelele's contract instead.
The termination of Makellele's contract is not to humiliate the French veteran, but to reward the veteran who has made great contributions to Blackburn - after joining Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent, Makelele will naturally be able to sign a new contract with the team with a good salary for one year, as Flamini did before.
Two or three million euros is nothing more than a month's expenses for Emma Watson for Arthur, but for Makelele, who eats the rice of youth, it is definitely a huge amount of money.
For his players, even if it is a veteran who is about to leave, Arthur will not be stingy.
Blackburn published a statement on their website to thank Makelele for his dedication to the club over the past five years. "Everyone at Blackburn would like to take this opportunity to thank Makelele for his dedication to the club over the past five years. Claude Makelele has been a key part of the club's success and we wish him all the best for the future. In the future, whether he returns to the Rose Theatre as a player or as a friend, we will welcome him. ”
Paris Saint-Germain's disappointing performance in Ligue 1 last season saw the French capital-based club narrowly relegated, and in order to get better results in the new season, PSG officials are determined to bring in some good players to strengthen the squad this summer.
Paris Saint-Germain only recently signed French winger Giuli from Barcelona, and Makelele will join the former France team-mate in Bari.
The departure of Makelle also means the end of an era for Blackburn, but the glory of the championship will never be interrupted. (To be continued.) )
