'In midfield, we don't need to upset the balance of the squad, but we need a new team commander, a midfield metronome. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"However, such players are the core of each team, and they are all 'not for sale' that can only be impressed by high prices." Mensa Bangsu reminded Arthur with seemingly good intentions.

'No, it's not a problem, maybe we can't get us a real midfield player in the Premier League's upper class with all these millions of pounds, but my intention is to go on loan.' Arthur retorted directly.

"Lending?" Mensah Bangsu shook his head and said: "You mean we bring in a young player to be the heart of our team's midfield. ”

"Who's that?" Souness interjected, "Arthur, looks like you have a goal, don't you?" ”

"Yes, a genius who is not yet 19 years old." Arthur replied in a very affirmative tone.

"Oh?" Mensa Bangsu and Souness glanced at each other, and then made a gesture at the same time.

"Well, it's a goal I've been focusing on for a long time, and it's one of the players I highly recommend from my new overseas scouting team." Arthur's answer sent a wave through Mensa Bonsu's heart.

Arthur's new overseas scouting team is not what he said, it was the first organization he established after he knew that he had obtained ownership of Blackburn, but it was only established for two days, and the members are currently only Arthur, the commander of the light pole.

The overseas scouting team was set up to explain to some extent why Arthur would know about the rising stars around the world who have not yet made a name for themselves, and on the other hand, to decentralize and check from Mensa Bonsu, who firmly controls the scouting power of the club.

Obviously, Arthur's excuse for this overseas scouting team can be used now.

"The heart of the midfield I was looking for for the team was the talented midfielder Xavi Alonso for Real Sociedad. Arthur continued.

'Alonso may not be 19 years old, but he has great vision, good ball control, long balls from mid to long range and can shoot. And as a midfielder, Alonso is not a pure 'blue collar' in defense, but his selection and judgment are very good. Arthur didn't look at his notebook, but told Souness about Alonso's characteristics.

And Alonso is not a rookie on the professional scene, having already made his first appearance for Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey match against Logonis last season. Alonso made a total of 14 appearances throughout the season. Whether it is ability or potential, they are all optimistic about Real Sociedad. Arthur was selling a product to Souness as he was the best midfield commander for Blackburn.

Alonso's ability does not need to be repeated, from this season to turn the tide, self-recommended as the captain of the team, with Real Sociedad relegation success, Alonso has become one of the few midfielders in global football, and until he left Bayern Munich, he is still a midfield master to be reckoned with in European football.

In this period, although there are many midfielders who are not inferior to Alonso, such as Xavi, Vieira, Pirlo, etc., Arthur believes that only Alonso is the most suitable midfield commander for Blackburn.

On the one hand, it is because of Alonso's own characteristics, he is the kind of player who can observe the game from the midfield position of the team, can understand the progress of the game very well, analyze the strengths of the team and the weaknesses of the opponent, and then make passing choices, and knows how to manage the characteristics and strengths of his teammates. And when Alonso is on the field, he can also help the full-backs choose the timing of insertion, so that the team's attack is more layered. Alonso is not very good at scoring goals, but he is a master passer

Alonso can be found in the body of forwards, midfielders, defenders, the shadow of all roles. Defensively, work with defenders to put pressure on the opponent; Offensively, he is the initiator of the team's attack.

As on the pitch, off the pitch, Harvey? Alonso is also quite low-key, he has no exaggerated hairstyle, no fancy clothes, no studs, necklaces, and no tattoos, but his low-key approach makes it difficult to hide his charm.

Such a capable and self-righteous player is worthy of Arthur's efforts to establish him as the core of the team's long-term midfield - in Arthur's mind, forwards can be replaced, wingers, wingbacks, and fullbacks can be replaced every season, but the center-back combination and midfield core in the central axis must be stable, especially the midfield core, which is the most important link of the team, and it is a real "not for sale".

In addition to Alonso's own characteristics, another factor that influenced Arthur was the "historical factor".

Alonso has become the main force of the "Reds" Liverpool in the original time and space, which at least shows that Alonso has no problem adapting to the style of English football, and Alonso, who can seamlessly connect with English football at this point, is obviously more attractive to Arthur than Pirlo and other midfield masters who have never played in the Premier League.

Of course, the reason for choosing Alonso is also because this is the most likely midfield maestro for Arthur, even if it is in the future.

In the original time and space, it was this season that Alonso was loaned by Real Sociedad to Spanish second division team Eibar in the first half of the season, and was able to return to the team in the second half of the season and win a main place in the Real Sociedad team. So since the Eibar team in La Liga can sign Alonso on loan, why is Blackburn, who is more famous, better and more sincere, not possible to loan Alonso?

"Well, it's an option, at least as a substitute for Carsley." Souness pondered for a moment and nodded.

Souness was interested in Alonso when he heard about his characteristics, and it was only after hearing that Alonso made 14 appearances for Real Sociedad last season that Souness became interested in Alonso.

You know, Blackburn Rovers are still playing in the English second division, and Real Sociedad is only a mid-to-lower team in La Liga, but it is also a La Liga field, and the fringe players of La Liga teams are an extremely powerful supplement to the current Blackburn.

"The other party's age is only 19 years old, and the future potential is worth plugging, isn't it?" Souness thought.

"It's just a loan, it doesn't pay much, it's worth a try." Mensa Bangsu spoke up.

Seeing that neither Souness nor Mensah Boonsu had much of an opinion, Arthur didn't know if it was because he had made his first transfer proposal as boss and was not easy to refuse, or if he really did approve of his offer, but it didn't matter.

"Well, that's it, Mensa." Arthur said, "The contact with Real Sociedad is left to you, you can pay a certain loan fee, we don't want to be stingy with this, but you must add a buyout agreement to the transfer agreement, within 5 million pounds, you can decide for yourself." ”

Arthur clearly knows what kind of jade Alonso is, and he doesn't want to polish this jade into shape and then hand it over to Real Sociedad, so he deliberately added this buyout agreement.

In Arthur's view, 5 million pounds to have Alonso is definitely a "leak", and it is a super leak.

"Graeme, I just looked at the transfer proposal you gave me, and it really surprised me because your choices are fantastic, but at the moment we don't have time and transfer fees that don't allow us to delay any longer. So, I think there should be priorities on this list. Arthur said this, marking a few Arabic numbers on the transfer list that Souness had just handed him, and it was Steve Finnan who was the first to be among them.

Arthur in the previous life was a standard Manchester United fan, so he is very familiar with the main players in Liverpool, the death place of the "Red Devils", so it is naturally impossible not to know who Finnan is.

Although Finnan is not one of the top full-backs in world football, and even in his prime, he was undoubtedly an indispensable member of Benitez's squad.

Although from the beginning of his arrival with the Reds, there were people who competed with him at right-back, from Josemi to Kronkamp to Arbeloa, but he defended his place in the main team with his excellent performances. Solid defense and sharp assists are the magic weapons of his stable position.

The 24-year-old is just a fledgling youngster, having scored four goals in 45 appearances for Fulham, who played alongside Blackburn Rovers this season.

Because he is playing in League One with Blackburn, it is not too much of a problem for the more famous Blackburn to poach Finnen, and the transfer fee for Finnam, who does not have the advantage of England's household registration, will not be too high.

And in Arthur's memory, it was Fulham who finally won the League One title this season, and it was naturally a wonderful thing to be able to poach a big player from a direct rival.

It is better to harm others and benefit yourself.
