In the summer of 2012, it was certainly not the men's football match at the London Olympics that attracted the most attention, but the ups and downs in the transfer market. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Rumored", "Exposed", "Insiders revealed"...... These words filled the summer news throughout football until September.

On 1 September, with the closing of the Premier League transfer window, the transfer market for the 2012 summer major leagues came to an end.

Paris Saint-Germain has become the new king of money in Europe, and Chelsea has spent nearly 100 million euros on reinforcements. Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid and other giants have made targeted reinforcements, and their strength has steadily improved; AC Milan and Arsenal make a profit by selling players in the transfer market; Manchester City, which spent the most money last year, was quieter.

This summer, Blackburn's Premier League is still the most invested league, with six of the top 10 places in the top 10. Chelsea spent more than 100 million euros, second only to Paris Saint-Germain; Tottenham ranked 4th with 65.4 million euros, Manchester United ranked 5th with 64.7 million, Manchester City ranked 6th with 64.2 million, Arsenal ranked 9th with 43 million investment, and Liverpool ranked 10th with 42.6 million. The top six of the Premier League spent 383.7 million euros, more than the entire Serie A league. Chelsea and Manchester United have invested more than the 20 teams in La Liga.

As for Blackburn?

Well, in terms of investment, it is not at the top of the top 20 in the Premier League, and in terms of net investment, it is even more at the bottom.

In the 2010 summer transfer market, Manchester City spent 153 million euros to become the largest club to spend money, and last year Manchester City continued to be the largest spender of transfers in Europe at £81 million.

However, this year, Paris Saint-Germain has snatched the position of Manchester City's boss, with an investment of 146 million euros, ranking first in Europe, and Grand Paris has successfully created a top luxury squad in Europe.

Chelsea, who failed to enter the Champions League last season, began to make efforts to add reinforcements to supplement the squad this summer, and the three technical attackers of German teenagers Marin, Hazard and Oscar, and Moses also joined, with a total investment of 80 million pounds, becoming the second club in Europe to invest second only to Paris Saint-Germain in transfer investment.

Last season's "Sanya King" Bayern Munich, the new season is also very large, Shaqiri 12 million joined, Mandzukic 13 million, Dante 5 million euros, Xavi Martinez is as high as 40 million euros, Bayern 70 million euros of large investment, just to regain the championship trophy for the new season.

Manchester City's squad has stabilized after winning the Premier League title last season and has not been as generous in the transfer market as it has been in previous years. At the beginning of the transfer, it was only 13 million pounds to buy Rodwell, but when the transfer window was about to close, Manchester City suddenly made a move to bring in five people in a row, 8 million to bring in Swansea striker Sinclair, 18 million to bring in Spanish player Javi Garcia, 8 million to bring in McConn, 10 million to get young Serbian central defender Nastasic, and free to get goalkeeper Wright.

In addition, Manchester City sold Adam Johnson and Adebayor for 18 million, and sold De Jong to AC Milan for 5 million at the last minute.

Every summer, Real Madrid and Barcelona will always be the teams that are in the limelight in the transfer market. But this year, the La Liga duo have been quite low-key.

Barcelona brought in Spanish international fullback Alba for 14 million euros, Arsenal defender Alexander Song for 19 million euros, and Blackburn defender Vermaelen for 26.4 million pounds (equivalent to 30 million euros), with a total investment of 63 million euros, and Muniesa, Montoya, and Baltra were promoted from the B team.

In the fourth year of Mourinho's arrival, Real Madrid's transfer investment was further reduced, in addition to the 54 million euros of this summer's target King Ozil, only Modric spent 30 million euros, sold Altentop, Canales, Gago, Granero and Las Diarra, and loaned Shahin to Liverpool, a total of 32.5 million euros, almost profitable.

This summer, Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal were once again the clubs in Europe that made the most money from the sale of players.

Arsenal continued the tradition of "selling the captain", although in the early stage of the transfer, Podolski joined for 12 million euros, and then the Ligue 1 golden boot Giroud also joined Arsenal for 12 million euros in the 11-12 season, and the Spanish international Cazorla was lightning for 19 million euros, and the three attackers were attracted by 43 million euros (37.8 million pounds).

However, Van Persie and Alexander Song both left, Arsenal received more than £50 million in transfers, and the Gunners still made a profit of more than £12 million.

Last summer, Liverpool spent 60 million pounds to bring in six players, Adam, Downing, Henderson and other new signings joined, and Dalglish spent 100 million pounds to build his ideal squad. However, Rogers quickly reversed Dalglish's policies when he took office. Spearing is on loan, Adam joins Stoke City for 4 million, and Kuyt, Maxey, Bellamy, and Aquilani are transferring. Borini, Joe Allen and Shaheen joined, and Liverpool spent £40 million to usher in a new rebuild.

Regarding Blackburn's transfer this summer, it can only be described as a twist and turn.

During the London Olympics, the news that Real Madrid wanted to bring in Bale spread through the major media. According to the Daily Mail, Real Madrid has been preparing for the acquisition of Bale, and the news indicates that the transfer fee for the Galaxy to acquire Bale will reach a record 120 million pounds, and the weekly salary will reach 300,000 pounds, which will be the highest salary in the Real Madrid team.

Although Blackburn Rovers boss Carlo Ancelotti is unlikely to be willing to let Bale, there has been much media speculation that it will be difficult for Arthur to ignore Real Madrid's huge offer, especially as Blackburn have a tradition of selling superstars in recent years.

Many media outlets, including English sports journalists, thought that after the men's final at the London Olympics, there might be news of Bale's move to Real Madrid soon, but they were quickly disappointed.

On the third day of winning the Olympic gold medal, Blackburn announced on the official website that Bale signed a new contract with Blackburn, completed the renewal ahead of schedule, the new contract will expire in the summer of 2016, and give him a salary increase, the annual salary will be doubled, reaching an astonishing 10 million pounds, equivalent to 12.22 million euros, beating the annual salary of 12 million euros Ronaldo and 1050 euros Messi, becoming the highest salary in Europe's top five leagues.

Speaking at the signing ceremony afterwards, Bale said: "It's a huge honour and I've done well at the club for the last two seasons and that has helped me a lot. When you're doing well at club level, you want to bring that form to the national team and in fact I did, and of course I don't want it to be a flash in the pan and I want to be able to continue it. In the new season, I hope to improve myself and I hope we can improve under Chairman Arthur. ”

Do you sell your top brand?

Arthur gave a negative answer for the first time and told Monchi, the sporting director in charge of the transfer, that all transfer offers for Bale were rejected for the next three to five years.

After selling superstars in the team for seven or eight consecutive years, Arthur believes that Blackburn Rovers England has begun to change, and the departure of Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo is that Blackburn could not keep it at that time, but now, Arthur believes that Blackburn, which has gradually grown into a green giant, should no longer become a supermarket of players that can be arbitrarily selected by the powers.

Only I am not rare, you can ask for it; What I cherish, I don't care if I give more money.

With the growth of his own wealth over the years, Arthur has been qualified to bear the possibility of unprofitable or even loss-making situations in the team, and there is no need to sell stars to make up for and make money.

The reason why Arthur cherishes Bale is not that Bale is so irreplaceable, but because after leading the LinkedIn Olympic team to win the first international major championship in British football in nearly 46 years, Arthur hopes that after Bale becomes the number one star in the United Kingdom, Blackburn can have a more unique position on the map of English football.

At least in Arthur's view, Bale, who is also an Englishman himself, is more likely to win the support of local fans than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

At all times, homegrown fans are indispensable to a successful team.

However, after rejecting Real Madrid's offer for Bale, Blackburn did not have a bad deal with the Bernabeu as they soon completed a deal.

Last season's Real Madrid won the La Liga title was extremely difficult, in addition to the challenge of strong opponents Barcelona, the decline in the attacking firepower of the Galaxy Battleship midfield was also a major factor.

Last season's two midfield giants of the Galaxy Battleship: Kaka and Sneijder, both of them have seen a rapid decline in form, especially Kaka, who has become a regular on the bench, so in the new season, Mourinho asked the club to find a new commander for the Galaxy Battleship.

At this time, Ozil, who has been playing well at Blackburn Rovers in recent seasons, is on Real Madrid's list of purchases this summer.

In the absence of a bid for Bale, the Bernabeu did not cut off the deal to bring in Mesut Ozil.

When the two sides discussed the transfer of Mesut during the Olympics, Arthur was not aware of the deal, and Ozil was not on Arthur's list of not for sale to Monchi. After asking Ancelotti and haggling with the Bernabeu, Monchi sold Mesut Ozil to Real Madrid for £48 million, the highest transfer fee of the summer, equivalent to 54 million euros.

When Arthur learned of the Ozil deal, the two sides were just close to signing it at the end, but after seeing the transfer fee, Arthur still gave Monchi a compliment.

Mesut Ozil, despite his brilliance, is not an integral part of Black's squad and at least Ronaldo could be the perfect replacement.

However, the departure of Ozil more or less still made Blackburn's strength inevitably decline, in order to make up for the vacancy after Ozil's departure, Blackburn completed the first signing of this summer.

For £7 million, Arthur brought in their midfield commander from his Belgian satellite club: Kevin De Bruyne.

De Bruyne, who became famous at Genke Club in the previous life, was poached by Belshort early in this life, and after Ozil left, Arthur thought of him immediately.

The current De Bruyne naturally cannot compete with Ozil at all, but after Ancelotti corrects J Ronaldo in the new season, De Bruyne is more of a substitute for Frank Lampard and J Ronaldo, which gives him time to grow calmly.

As for whether De Bruyne can grow into the 80 million euro gentleman of the previous life, it depends on his own efforts and creation.

Blackburn Rovers have never been in the habit of favoring one over the other, so after selling Mesut Ozil to Real Madrid, they made a complete deal with Real Madrid's arch-rivals Barcelona.

Barcelona captain Puyol, who is 34 years old this summer, underwent surgery, but his recovery from surgery was not ideal, and in order to make up for the lack of central defenders, Barcelona are ready to bring in a competent central defender.

After asking Blackburn if they could trade Vermaelen and getting a reply that it was "not for sale", Barcelona officially began negotiations with Monchi.

Although Vermaelen was still Blackburn's main centre-back last season, his glass man attributes have already begun to emerge, and in order to give Phil Jones a better room to grow, Arthur instructed Monch to sell Vermaelen at the right time.

In the end, Vermaelen, who is in the prime of the 27-year-old defender, transferred to Barcelona for 26.4 million pounds, equivalent to 30 million euros, and the vast majority of the media thought that Barcelona made a great deal.

Only Arthur laughed evilly in his heart, wondering if they would praise this as a beautiful deal after leaving Blackburn Labs and after the Vermaelen Glass Man attribute completely exploded?

After Vermaelen's departure, Blackburn Rovers were not in a hurry, as they already had a replacement in the form of fellow Belgian centre-back Toby Alderweireld.

Alderweireld, one of the "Belshort Five Eagles" and born in 1989, was named the 58th place in the top 100 stars of 2016 by the Guardian in 2016, and is the top five central defender in the Premier League.

Alderweireld, who spent last season on loan at Ajax and still owns Belshot, only spent Blackburn Rovers £7 million.

In fact, De Bruyne and Alderweireld's Belshort is a club 100% controlled by Arthur, so the £14 million transfer fee added up by the two is just Arthur handing his money from his left hand to his right hand, which is not a real investment.

So, Blackburn's third signing of the summer is Arthur's first expense, and where is this player? (To be continued.) )
