"Arthur, I think you might be interested in this player. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the summer of 2009, Arthur personally announced the closure of Blackburn's transfer door, waiting for the start of the new Premier League season, but on this day Mensa Bonsu suddenly came to the door.

"Huh?" Arthur was somewhat surprised, because over the years, Blackburn's transfer power has gradually shifted to Monchi, who is the sporting director, and Mensa Bonsu, as the club's vice president, has always been more cautious about the transfer in order to avoid suspicion, but this time he took the initiative to find Arthur.

"Who?" Arthur was really interested in Mensa Bonsu's intervention this time.

After Blackburn Rovers announced the closure of the transfer door over the years, no offer from a club and a player's self-nomination could make Arthur change his mind, so what will be the final result this time?

"Owen." Mensa Bangsu's voice unconsciously grew a little louder, "Michael Owen." ”

"Owen? This was my negligence. Arthur muttered.

Michael Owen is perhaps the most widely known football "golden boy" in English football history. In 1995, at the age of 15, Owen officially signed with Liverpool. In the 1998 World Cup in France, the 18-year-old Owen became famous in the game against Argentina and was hailed as a teenager who chased the wind and embarked on the road to superstardom. In 2001, Owen led Liverpool to complete the five-time crown, and in the same year, Owen also won the European Ballon d'Or.

Last season, Owen made 28 appearances for Newcastle United, scoring just eight goals. On January 31 this year, Owen was injured again in the game against Manchester City, and will be out for six weeks from a torn ankle ligament, becoming a veritable "glass man".

At the end of last season, Newcastle United were relegated from the Premier League due to the bottom of the league table, and at the age of 30, Owen entered the player trading market as a free agent, and the golden boy of the past no longer exists.

In Arthur's previous life, Owen made the much-maligned choice to join Reds rivals Manchester United.

However, Owen has never been able to regain his former form due to a plethora of injuries, and although he scored a hat-trick in the Champions League for Manchester United, and although he did beat Manchester City in the Manchester derby, it was only a "flashback".

In his three seasons with Manchester United, he made just 52 appearances and scored 17 goals. In the 2012-13 season, Owen briefly spent time at Stoke City, scoring one goal in eight Premier League appearances, and the former England "golden boy" officially announced his retirement.

"Owen?" Arthur is well aware of what Michael Owen means to England's domestic fans, so he only hesitated for a moment to find an answer to the question of whether to sign Owen.

The answer, of course, is: signing.

Arthur has three reasons for looking at Owen, the first is obvious, of course, for economic reasons, signing Owen can attract both English fans and Owen fans around the world.

The second point is the competitive consideration, although Owen has not been able to play most of his peak strength, but in some games, the tournament experience Owen can play a role like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's super sub.

The third point is that it is for the sake of the dressing room, after Owen joins Blackburn, he can strengthen the strength of the England home gang in the dressing room, help Duff and Lampard control the dressing room, and after the previous Owen joined Manchester United, he also played the role of the substitute leader of the dressing room, which Arthur especially liked.

Arthur intends to sign Owen, so how will Owen react?

In fact, Owen now faces a transfer decision.

A month earlier, Owen had expressed his desire to return to Anfield to Liverpool's hierarchy through his friend Carragher, but manager Rafael Benitez was not interested in him in the slightest.

Despite Owen's best efforts to return to Anfield, he was unable to do so. Therefore, he has to look for other clubs that are interested in him, such as Manchester United.

Owen said there are three clubs interested in him: Hull City, Everton and Manchester United.

Owen had planned to go to Hull City, but the 30-year-old felt he should stay in the top team.

At the moment, Blackburn, who have dominated the Premier League since 2001, are among Owen's options, while Liverpool's sworn enemies are on the other side.

In terms of team strength, Blackburn Rovers are a cut above Manchester United.

In turn, Blackburn is not Liverpool's sworn enemy.

Then, Owen's choice is naturally clear and straightforward.

In the early hours of August 4, Blackburn announced on their official website that the team had signed former England international Michael Owen on a two-year contract. As Owen did not have any contracts in place before, Blackburn did not pay any transfer fees.

Carlo Ancelotti was thrilled by the addition of the former England international: "There's no doubt that Michael is a world-class striker with a record of goals in the high league. We've been looking forward to Michael coming to the team. ”

In fact, for the addition of Owen, Arthur also has the attitude of having it, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't, but with the addition of Owen, it arouses Arthur's mind to introduce another player.

For fans who are now in their prime, the best memory for the Three Lions is not the current hot Rooney and the "Double Virtue", but the former England "twin stars" - Michael Owen and David Beckham.

Yes, the player that Arthur desperately wants to bring in is the "heartthrob" Beckham.

It is well known that in order to maintain his competitive form and not be excluded from the national team by England boss Fabio Capello, David Beckham will look for a big club to train with during the winter break of the Europa League every year.

In 2007-08 it was Arsene Wenger's Arsenal and last season it was AC Milan. Last season, David Beckham not only trained in Milan, but also participated in the next Serie A as an AC Milan player, and until the end of the season.

After joining Milan this winter, David Beckham has conquered the Rossoneri with a high level of professionalism and excellent performances on the pitch. And in order to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the heartthrob returning to Europe's top league hopes to make a permanent move to Milan. However, the transfer did not materialize as Milan's offer fell far short of what the Galaxy had expected.

During his loan spell at AC Milan last season, David Beckham performed well and was more than qualified to start for the Rossoneri, which strengthened Arthur's resolve to bring him in.

Previously, David Beckham had a bad time with the England national team. Half a month ago, in the friendly match between England and Slovenia, Beckham sat on the bench for 90 minutes, which was the first time in Beckham's 11-year national team career that he was in the squad and failed to play.

In England's 5-1 win over Croatia in the World Cup last week, Beckham didn't come on as a substitute in garbage time until the 80th minute, and it is clear that Beckham's current position in the Three Lions is extremely awkward.

Because, Capello has made it clear: "If Beckham wants to play in the 2010 World Cup, he must return to Europe to play at the beginning of next year, otherwise I will not recruit him." Therefore, in order to secure a place in next year's World Cup, Beckham finally finalized his plan to return to Italy with Milan.

Beckham made up his mind to return to Europe to play football for the sake of his World Cup dream. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League are said to be in contact with David Beckham in the hope that he can return to the Premier League next year. And Beckham also changed his tune at one point and said that in addition to AC Milan, he may also consider joining other teams. However, the recent outstanding performances of Bentley, Wright-Phillips, Lennon and Walcott in the England team have made Beckham feel the crisis, so he quickly made the decision to return to play in Europe's top league teams next year, and only choose teams in Serie A, La Liga and the Premier League.

"David, I'm Arthur Walker. How's it going, are you interested in coming to Blackburn? Arthur called Beckham personally – and in Arthur's capacity, it was a no-brainer to get Beckham's call.

"Oh? Hello. Receiving Arthur's call, Rao is Beckham was also a little surprised, after all, in addition to Chairman Blackburn, Arthur is also a world-class super-rich, and he is at the top of the Forbes list.

"Arthur, I heard your invitation from Victoria, and I am honored." Beckham politely replied.

Before Arthur called Beckham, Arthur asked Emma Watson, who is also in the British and American entertainment industry, to call Victoria and inform Blackburn of the invitation in advance.

"May I think again?" Beckham hesitated.

"No problem." Arthur said in a brisk tone: "David, I'm sure you know that our annual salary here is second to none in the world of football, and it won't be like Milan last season. ”

Arthur was talking about Beckham's voluntary salary cut last season in order to continue his loan at AC Milan. The former England captain made huge concessions in terms of financial benefits last season in order to get what he wanted.

In order to be able to play for Milan on loan until the end of last season, Beckham voluntarily cut his salary by 3 million euros, and this rumor was also confirmed by Milan officials.

Compared to Berlusconi and AC Milan, who have been in poor form recently, the thriving Arthur and Blackburn obviously do not owe anyone in terms of player salaries.

"And Carlo Ancelotti coached you last season and is a manager who knows you. The Premier League is also a style you are familiar with, the main thing is ......," Arthur continued to tempt.

"Frank and Ashley are currently the captains and vice-captains of the England national team, and I'm sure coach Capello will respect their opinions, and in addition to Frank and Ashley, Bentley is also a member of our national team, so joining us is definitely more interesting for Capello than joining a Serie A team." Arthur's tone was confident, seductive.

"For the rest, I'm sure Emma must have told you about Victoria." Arthur finally said.

Arthur's unspoken words mean very simply, that is, if Beckham joins Blackburn and retires in the future, he can rely on Arthur's resources in the United States and Hollywood to develop better in the entertainment industry.

After all, Beckham seems to be more of an entertainment star than a footballer?

Beckham, who was on the other end of the ...... phone, was silent for a moment before he made up his mind, "I think we can have a good cooperation." ”

"Hehe, I think so too." Arthur held his phone and smiled.

After David Beckham expressed his desire to sign Blackburn Rovers on loan in the winter months to the LA Galaxy club, Arthur, who also has a strong presence in Los Angeles, quickly gave the LA Galaxy the green light.

From the third day of David Beckham's expression, Milan began to negotiate with the Galaxy to renew Beckham's loan, and progress was made quickly. A few days ago, Vice Chairman Galliani has confirmed that the two sides are close to reaching an agreement, and the official announcement is only a matter of time.

Will David Beckham return to AC Milan next year?

Now there is finally an answer. According to a report from Sky Sports on 3 September, Beckham will join Blackburn Rovers on loan next year, and it has now been confirmed that the loan will be for six months.

According to Sky Sports, Beckham will end his contract with LA Galaxy early in January next year and sign AC Milan as a free agent for half a year. And for the arrival of Beckham, Ancelotti has even considered changing the team's current formation, hoping to free up a suitable position for him.

In addition to this, Arthur and Capello also exchanged views.

Of course, Arthur is well aware of Capello's soft and not hard character, so he did not ask and suggest that the Italians should include Beckham in the Three Lions squad, but after some small talk, invited Capello to watch Blackburn Rovers at the Rose Theatre after the Christmas holiday.

In Capello's Three Lions, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole, who are England's captains and vice-captains, are the main players in the iron fight, and Bentley is also Capello's surprise man, so Arthur does not need to invite Capello to watch Blackburn Rover's game to try to get the three in the 23-man squad for next year's World Cup in South Africa.

So why did Arthur make such an invitation?

The answer is self-evident, naturally for Beckham and Owen, and the latter is obviously only piggybacking on it.

Although Blackburn Rovers lost the team's top Ronaldo in the new season, with the addition of Michael Owen, the former "golden boy" of England, and Beckham's confirmation to join in January next year, Blackburn's attention in the new season has not only not decreased, but has been greatly improved.

After all, although the current Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best footballers today, David Beckham is the brightest star the football has ever seen.

"Whew! Can you finally live in peace for a while, right? This summer's transfer turmoil has also made Arthur work for a long time, and now he can finally rest for a while.

But how long will Carlo Ancelotti's Blackburn be able to ease Arthur? (To be continued.) )
