Arthur hurried to meet with the Monchi team and the Mourinho coaching staff who stayed at the club after getting off the plane, and then completed the meeting with Ashley Cole, so when he returned to the villa, he found that the hall was still neat and clean under the care of the cleaners. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Arthur took out a bottle of blueberry juice from the refrigerator and went straight to the bedroom, just about to reverse the jet lag, but received two bad news from the phone in succession-

Arthur's fancy Ronaldinho was unwilling to help Blackburn lower the price, and was still priced at a high price of 38 million pounds by Paris Saint-Germain, and the negotiations between Monchido and Japan made no progress.

Jose Mourinho went to Sweden to get Larsson for £7.2 million, but was ruthlessly rejected by Rio Ferdinand's agent, who was clearly told that Ferdinand chose the latter between Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United.

If the first message was colorless and odorless boiled water, which Arthur expected, then the second message was like a spicy and choking Huoxiang Zhengqi water, which made Arthur take a hard breath of the cold air in the house!

These two pieces of information tell Arthur a fact that he has a hard time accepting - the current Blackburn Rover, even if they repeat the "Kaiserslautern" miracle, have just won the Premier League title, and after marking one of the few high salaries in world football, they are still not the first choice of many famous stars.

Although intellectually speaking, Blackburn only won a Premier League trophy, which is really not as attractive as Manchester United, Barcelona and other century-old giants, but at the moment when he saw Monchi and Mourinho report the situation, Arthur still slammed his phone on the bed.

"Monchi, end the negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain, I'll give you a week, the next two months will be your busiest time." Arthur called directly to inform Monchi, who was far away in Paris, and then asked Mourinho to stop dwelling on Rio Ferdinand's transfer and return to the club to prepare for pre-season training for the new season.

"Forget it, it looks like Ronaldinho is destined to miss me." Arthur sighed.

After being destined to no longer get Ronaldinho this summer, Arthur finally came to his senses and looked at Ronaldinho from a simple fan to a pure club operator.

From a purely competitive point of view, Ronaldinho's style of play may not be able to adapt to the style of the Premier League game and the characteristics of Mourinho's defensive counterattack, and the casual life and training attitude of the Brazilian players after becoming famous is also what Mourinho does not like, and the two will inevitably lead to conflicts in the later stage.

Although Ronaldinho was at his peak like the king of elves on the field, in fact, his peak period was really too short compared to other stars, that is, four years from 2003 to 2007.

If he does have Ronaldinho, whether he will infect his loose personality and penchant for drinking to his teammates is also what Arthur is worried about.

As for Rio Ferdinand, Arthur can only admit that he and Mourinho are too greedy, and after the team has the best centre-back duo in the Premier League last season, Stam and Carvalho, they still hope to get a central defender like Ferdinand, which is too much to strive for perfection.

After ordering Jose Mourinho and Monchi to end their current transfer talks, Blackburn's summer signing has effectively come to an end, with Arthur starting to take stock of his team's squad for next season.

Blackburn will continue to play 4-2-3-1 under Jose Mourinho this season.

In goal, Friedel, who competed for the Premier League's best goalkeeper last season, will continue to be the favourite to defend Blackburn Rovers this season, with second goalkeeper Giroud Robinson and third goalkeeper Lee Davies only getting rare appearances in cup competitions.

The team's two central defenders in the new season are naturally still the best central defender combination of Stam and Carvalho in the Premier League last season, and the new signing Heinze will have a certain impact on Carvalho's starting position, as for the old captain Henning Berg, Martin Taylor and Li Weifeng, they can only play as substitute central defenders.

In terms of right-back selection, Finnan will be in close competition with Paolo Ferreira on the right, while second captain Jeff Kenner and Sun Jihai will be very reliable replacements.

The biggest change in Blackburn's starting line-up for the new season will undoubtedly be left-back, with new signings Ashley Cole set to be the main left-back if nothing else, while Heinze, who can play the wing, and Finnan, who was the team's main left-back last season, are also good left-backs.

Blackburn have not brought in any midfielders this summer, and the only one who can be close to the midfielders is Ibrahimovic's hometown Larsson.

In the new season, Blackburn's main force in the central midfield position will undoubtedly be Alonso and Cambiaso, the young midfield pair, David Dunn, Carsley and Li Tie will be the substitutes for Blackburn's central midfield position.

The "3" in the 4-2-3-1 has more variables in the new season, in addition to the main position of Duff on the left is more stable, the right wing and the middle will be in fierce competition with Frank Lampard, Benayoun and Larsson.

Up front, Ibrahimovic's main position is no longer as secure, Larsson will pose a huge threat to his Swedish countryman, and Didier Drogba will remain the team's substitute striker.

[2002-03 Season]

Blackburn Rovers start: 4-2-3-1.

Goalkeeper: Friedel

Defenders: Ashley Cole, Stam, Carvalho, Finnan

Defenders: Alonso, Cambiaso

Midfielders: Gyuli, Lampard, Damian Duff

Striker: Ibrahimovic

Arthur looked at the main lineup of the team in the new season that he pulled out, and he was still quite satisfied.

"Jose, it's time to get rid of the players who aren't in your plans for the new season." Arthur called Mourinho again.

'No problem, even if we have to play in the Champions League, we don't need as many players as our team. Jose Mourinho had long anticipated that Arthur would not let him enjoy the final days of his holiday before the start of the new season.

"Well, I don't have any problem with the transfer candidates, the only thing I have is one suggestion, players like Helen Pierce who have made a big contribution to the team, we don't have to set any big boundaries on the transfer fee, you can just look at the rest." Although Arthur said that it was a suggestion, in his capacity, it was actually a tactful arrangement.

"Okay, I understand." Mourinho decisively agreed.

Since the owner doesn't care about making more money by selling players, Mourinho, as a senior worker, naturally has no need to be entangled.

A week later, the Blackburn Chairroom!

Jose Mourinho is reporting to Arthur on the outflow of players from his squad.

Compared with the huge amount of money spent on the team's recruitment, the special account fee brought by Blackburn's outflow of players is really not worth mentioning.

The transfer fee for veteran Simon Grayson to join Blackpool was only symbolically £100,000.

As for Blackburn Rovers, who scored four league goals as a substitute last season, Helen Pierce, who is only 21 years old, has been thanked for his huge contribution to the team's league title, and the transfer fee to Birmingham City is well below the market price of £800,000.

In the case of Simon Grayson and Helen Pierce, Blackburn was a reference to their contributions to the team, and they will not let up so easily when it comes to account fees for others.

When young centre-backs Peacock and Kurtis were sold to Premier League promotion Massy Bromwich Albion for the new season, the two players who were only marginal to Blackburn's squad last season were added to the Premier League champions for a whopping £7.4 million.

Ben Boggs, the team's substitute centre-forward who was repeatedly the "lucky boy" last season, was spotted by the "black cat" Sunderland, and after some haggling, Blackburn finally completed the deal with Sunderland at a hefty premium of £6.7 million.

Blackburn have lost a total of five players this summer, among which Helen Pierce is the most famous and strongest, earning a total of 15 million pounds, which is not as expensive as Blackburn's fee to sign Ashley Cole.

The £15 million in revenue alone is a joke compared to Arthur's ambition to make Blackburn the world's number one football blackclub.

But Arthur knows that just as a century-old store can't be built in a day, trying to build Blackburn into the first black store in football is not something that can be achieved overnight, and now it's just a small test.

Slowly drawing.

After listening to Mourinho's report, Arthur praised the Portuguese who was in contact with the club for the first time, and then officially put forward a plan that he had been pondering repeatedly over the course of the week.

Monchi, Mensa Bonsu and Mourinho all grew up after listening to Arthur's plan.

In particular, Mensa Bangsu wanted to say something several times, but he held back, and in the end he could only give a thumbs up and hold back one word: "Good!" ”

Arthur smirked, because this time he was really generous.

While other clubs are still preparing to buy new players, he is ready to play big.

That is, the acquisition of a new club!
