With the arrival of July 1, 2007, the annual summer transfer period has started again, and it is time for the managers of each team to get busy again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Arthur, who is planning to start a new relationship in the United States, although he cannot personally take charge of the transfer of natural Blackburn, still uses the phone and the Internet to remotely control the transfer situation of the club, and is extremely concerned about the transfer situation of other BIG4 in the Premier League.

Summer has always been the season for club owners and football agents to show off their talents. In the last decade or so, there has been a series of sensational transfers almost every summer, especially in 2001, when the transfer market reached an unprecedented heat.

Since 2001, the transfer market has shown a gradual cooling trend, and although some sky-high transfers have occasionally appeared, they have never reached the heights of 2001 as a whole. Until today, six years later, with the transfer news of a number of outstanding players such as Ronaldinho, Kaka, and Tevez, the transfer market this summer may recreate the crazy momentum of 2001.

The popularity of the transfer market is ultimately determined by the overall economic level of football. The reason why there were so many sky-high transfer prices in 2001 was because it was at the peak of the "football bubble economy": in England, most Premier League clubs found themselves to be rich with TV contracts provided by Sky; In Spain, Real Madrid has made hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue in one fell swoop with the help of real estate transactions; In Italy and Germany, clubs such as Lazio, Roma and Borussia Dortmund have gone public, and they have raised large sums of money through the issuance of shares. It was the economic environment of that year that led to "inflation" in the entire transfer market, and the value of players was generally speculated to an incredible level.

After reaching its peak in 2001, the economic situation in world football has gradually deteriorated. Due to excessive overdrafts in the purchase of players, a number of clubs began to face financial crises, such as Leeds United, once known as the "Young Guard", with a debt of up to 80 million pounds; Parma and Lazio, who were once among the "Seven Sisters of Serie A", are also unable to continue to maintain luxury in the transfer market due to the decline of the consortium behind them. Against this backdrop, the heat of the transfer market in recent years has clearly not been compared with 2001.

"Bear markets" are always temporary, and according to recent indications, the economic environment for football is improving. In England, marked by Abou's arrival at Chelsea in 2003, the Premier League has entered a new phase of large-scale foreign acquisitions. In addition to Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool have also become the assets of the richest in the United States, and even the middle and lower clubs such as West Ham United and Portsmouth have changed new owners in the past two years.

While there has been a lot of backlash in the UK, it is certain that these new owners will bring the club plenty of transfer money, with Abou having invested hundreds of millions of pounds in the transfer market over the past four years. Although the other owners are not as generous as Abu, in order to win the support of the fans as soon as possible, they have all made a commitment to increase the transfer budget after taking office.

Immediately after Liverpool was bought by two American tycoons, news broke in the British media that the Reds would receive a £30 million transfer budget this summer. The Glazer family has promised £25 million for Manchester United, who have just regained the league title, to buy players, and even West Ham, who are barely relegated, could become a potential big buyer in the transfer market with the support of Icelandic billionaire Magnussen.

Compared to England, Spain does not have as many clubs with deep pockets, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are two super giants who have never hesitated to invest money in the transfer market. According to the ranking of football clubs released by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu at the beginning of this year, Real Madrid and Barcelona occupy the top two places. In terms of the sale of television rights, Real Madrid signed a seven-year broadcast contract worth 1.1 billion euros at the end of last year, and Barcelona can also receive 600 million euros in broadcast revenue over the next five years. With both clubs adopting a non-profit membership system, most of this huge sum of money will certainly end up in the transfer market.

Italian football has suffered a series of blows in recent years, and its economic competitiveness can no longer be compared with the era when Serie A was called the "Little World Cup". However, with Silvio Berlusconi bidding farewell to his premiership, the media mogul has refocused his attention on AC Milan, which could mean that the Rossoneri are about to invest more in the transfer market.

Overall, there will be more money pumped into the transfer market this summer, and there may even be several traditional giants bidding for a good player at the same time. Such an economic backdrop, which is quite similar to that of 2001, is likely to give rise to a round of market that is just as crazy as it was back then.

It is under this opportunity that the agents of the entire European football world can't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and painstakingly matchmaking between the stars and the giants, playing the role of the old man under the moon.

Even Mendes, the Mendes Economic Company controlled by Arthur, has suggested to Arthur several times to sell players to earn transfer fees and brokerage commissions, and Arthur has also set a range for Mendes to play at will within the range he has given.

Last season, Bayern, the "Bundesliga champion", fell into the lowest point in nearly 10 years, not only missing the league championship, but even missing the Champions Cup qualification for next season. For this reason, Bayern not only fired coach Magath in the middle of the season, but also obeyed the instructions of the "football emperor" Beckenbauer and the club's general manager Hoeness and others - to rebuild Bayern.

According to Beckenbauer, "The first thing Bayern needs to reform is the forward line. It was only a matter of time before Pizarro and Santa Cruz were gone, and after it was almost certain that Mackay and Podolski would stay, Bayern fully complied with the will of the "emperor" and spent the first money on the striker.

Just yesterday, Bayern President Rummenigge officially announced the transfer of Fiorentina's Italian international Toni to Bayern. It is understood that Toney's transfer fee is around 11 million euros.

In a similar case, Juventus are hoping to use the transfer market this summer to help them regain their momentum next season. With the resignation of coach Didier Deschamps, Juve's rebuild is even more complete than Bayern's. Yesterday, Juventus general manager Blank revealed that the club has prepared 50 million euros in cash for summer transfers, with big names such as Frank Lampard and Iaquinta being targeted.

Spanish media believe that after Real Madrid introduced young players such as Gago and Higuain during the winter break, its combat effectiveness has been significantly strengthened, and it naturally hopes to further consolidate the results in the winter transfer market in the summer transfer market. As a result, stars such as Heinze and Kaka became Real Madrid's next target.

Manchester United, who finished runners-up in the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup last season, replaced Chelsea this summer as Europe's number one spender, with Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson worth more than £50 million combined, as well as loanee Carlos Tevez.

In the transfer market, Ferguson has a clear mindset, maintaining the overall framework of last season's title, strengthening in individual positions and stockpiling talent for the future.

Chelsea, who won the league title last season, have gone from spending a lot of money to being a big deal, a phenomenon in the European transfer market this summer.

The Blues have spent £89.05 million, £86.1 million and £86.32 million on summer transfers over the past three years, but have only spent £13.5 million so far this year, at one point only signing free agents.

However, there are signs of this shift since last season's winter transfer, both because Abou is tightening his money and because Van Gaal predicted two years ago that the team will gradually improve the squad, and "you can not buy people in a few years" is gradually being realized.

Chelsea's introduction this summer is mainly to enhance the depth of the squad, and last season's extensive injuries have left Louis van Gaal with a lot of wisdom, and Ben Haim, Pizarro and Sidwell have struggled to get into the main squad for a while, but they are all excellent additions to their respective positions. So far, the only one who has spent a transfer fee on Malouda has been brought in, and the Frenchman is also the most likely new signing to hit the main position.

There are two categories of departures, young players and fringe substitutes. Sahar and a number of other newcomers have left on loan to give hope for the future, while Geremi and Bolaruz were out of action late last season, so it was no surprise that Van Gaal let them go.

Overall, Chelsea's transfer operations so far this summer have mainly strengthened the depth of the squad to cope with possible injuries and multi-front operations, the main framework has basically remained the same, and the overall strength has been stable and improved. The biggest change could be that Malouda squeezed into the main line-up, while Pizarro could surprise him.

The biggest transfer in the Premier League this summer will come at Arsenal, but instead of bringing in but selling, Thierry Henry's £16million price tag is a bit low, and aside from the Frenchman's insistence on leaving, there may be another factor that Wenger has not said: he believes the 30-year-old is showing signs of decline.

However, in any case, Thierry Henry's departure is a major loss for Arsenal, statistically, the Frenchman's 20 to 30 goals per year in the past five years need to be filled, and psychologically, the departure of the core will inevitably have an impact on teammates.

Among the players introduced, young Polish goalkeeper Fabianski and Norwegian defender Nordved are future reserves, and it is difficult to make a difference in the short term; Sagna increased the depth of the defensive line and provided the possibility for Eboue to free up the midfield, which was a multi-win deal; The biggest unknown is Da Silva, and if he can play as Wenger expects and score around 10 goals, it will go a long way in reducing the cost of Thierry Henry's departure.

Overall, Arsenal have lost key players in the transfer market this summer, their strength has been significantly damaged, and the depth of the squad has become weak after the purge of several substitutes has not been brought in accordingly. However, with a transfer deadline of 31 August, Arsene Wenger said there could be a possibility of bringing in one or two more if there were "the right players", and that could be a matter of course.

Last summer, Liverpool had 7 in and 9 out, and this year Benitez has chosen a different way, with 3 in and 2 out so far, and Liverpool is very quiet in the noisy Premier League transfer market.

In the same veins as a year ago, Liverpool have once again strengthened their forward line, buying Paraguayan striker Santa Cruz from Bayern Munich and Dutch UEFA Champions Rigost.

However, for the adjustment of the Reds, Arthur and Lippi did not pay attention to it, because Liverpool, which lost Gerrard, was no longer Blackburn's opponent, so there was no need to worry about it at all.

And in the noisy transfer market, how will Arthur and his Blackburn burns perform? (To be continued.) )
