"Well, that's right, £30 million. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Arthur affirmed, then seemed to remember something, and reminded again: "Jose, you can promise Ashley Cole that if he joins Blackburn, we will give him twice the weekly salary of Arsenal!" ”

"No!" Jose Mourinho and Monchi were born at the same time again again.

"Oh? How? There was obviously a hint of displeasure in Arthur's tone, after all, no matter how enlightened a boss was, he would not like to be refuted again and again by his subordinates.

"Twice? That would upset the team's salary balance, which could easily create conflicts within the players. Mourinho gave his own explanation.

"Hehe, don't you think the current salaries of the first team members are not enough to match our status as Premier League champions?" Arthur understood, saying: "After the World Cup, I am going to give the vast majority of the players in the first team a new contract, with an average weekly salary increase of 10%-15%. ”

"Okay......" Mourinho and Monchi did not object this time, after all, it was Arthur who paid for it.

After adjusting the salaries of first-team players last season, the average salary of Blackburn players is already in the top five in the Premier League, and according to Arthur's idea, Blackburn's average salary next season must be one of the best in the Premier League.

"Hehe, count me rich, willful!" Arthur said calmly.

In fact, this is not that Arthur is stupid and has nowhere to spend, but because he knows that Chelsea will be bought by the Russian wealthy businessman Abu next season, and then with the abruble offensive, the average salary of players in the entire Premier League and even European football will increase significantly, in order to prevent the main players of the Blackburn first team from being lured and poached because of salary, it is better for Arthur to directly raise his salary, and even if Abu wants to poach, the cost will be much greater.

"Monchi, it's up to you to sign a new contract, and I want some changes this time." Arthur explained to Monch.

"One change is that I'm going to stipulate in my new contract that there will be a 10 per cent increase in the player's salary every year, for example, if Ibrahimovic's new contract is £40,000 a week, then his weekly salary for next season will be £44,000." Arthur's change is undoubtedly a reference to the NBA's player salaries.

"Well, it's a one-and-done solution, Arthur, that's a good idea!" Monchi agreed.

Counting the upcoming contract extension, Monchi has adjusted the player's salary twice in the past six months. In the case of soaring prices and soaring player wages, many players signed contracts in the past years seem too "cheap", and many players from clubs in the Premier League will have unpleasant incidents with clubs for salary increases, and Arthur's rule can not only resolve this situation, but also increase the loyalty of players to Blackburn - after all, in the new contract, the longer the player is at Blackburn, the higher the salary.

"The second change I have in my plan is to add a 'loyalty clause' to the new contract, where when a player has been with us for a certain number of years, we can give him a certain amount of bonus at a time, to show that for his reward, the specific number and the number of years, Monchi, it is up to you and your team to finalize." Arthur continued.

"No problem, it's another wise decision!" Monchi agreed again and patted Arthur's ass.

'That's all I can think about for the time being, you can think about the rest, and tell me if there are any additions after the World Cup, and then you can renew the contract with the player. Arthur assigns the task.

"No problem."

……

After throwing the issue of new contracts and transfers to Jose Mourinho and Monchi, Arthur continued to enjoy the next game of the World Cup in South Korea and Japan.

However, Arthur's laid-back time was soon disrupted by a phone call from Jose Mourinho.

Until Arthur flew back to Europe on his own plane, he didn't understand right: Blackburn Rover, as the new Premier League champion, his side gave a high salary, and the other club's house type, why could any player refuse Blackburn under such multiple insurances?

When Arthur met Ashley Cole, the little guy was packing up his things at the house of Blackburn's newly bought apartment building to prepare for the former Blackburn laboratory, and when he saw Arthur visiting, his eyes were full of surprise, but he still politely invited Arthur in.

"Hehe, it's really Cole, it's perfect, my team won't have to think about the main left-back for 10 years! Support! Arthur secretly shook his fist excitedly.

Yes, it is much easier for Mourinho to get Ashley Cole than Arthur imagined, after all, Cole can only be regarded as a potential star, even if Wenger has high hopes for Cole, but Mourinho's 17 million pounds is also a complete "conquer" of the French professor.

I have to say that Mourinho's performance in this surprise attack was really good, and it took less than 5 days to contact Arsenal to persuade Cole to transfer, all in one go, and it was not Wenger's turn to regret it at all.

You must know that in the summer of 2006, when Arthur was the first life, the price paid by Chelsea to get Ashley Cole was only 5 million pounds plus William Gallas, and 4 years in advance, 17 million was enough for Arsenal to release Ashley Cole.

This is the power of money to oppress people!

You know, in the summer of that year, Moratti brought Argentine striker Crespo with the same £17 million.

Although the transfer fee is the same, the current Ashley Cole is not a player of Crespo's level at all.

Moreover, in this summer's South Korea-Japan World Cup, Ashley Cole's experience of being "rounded-out" by Samba's right-side players such as Ronaldinho and Cafu on the left side also made Arsenal executives and Wenger and others have some doubts about it.

Ashley Cole opted to move to Blackburn Rovers because of an integral factor in Blackburn's staggering £41,000-a-week salary in his new contract, which was also an integral factor in beating Arsenal to win the league title last season.

Arthur came to see Ashley Cole, and the process of talking was very simple, that is, to come to condolence and show his importance to Cole.

On the way back, Arthur sent another text message to Jose Mourinho, who had left Blake himself in Sweden, again expressing his appreciation for his ability to quickly finalize Ashley Cole.

Mourinho was quick to text back: "Arthur, this is what I should do, my next signing is about to be made, you just wait for the champagne to give me celebratory notes!" ”

"No problem!" Arthur replied quickly.

Mourinho's transfer plan in Sweden was naturally agreed by Arthur in advance - even if Arthur had said that Mourinho and Monchi would let him go, neither of them was stupid, especially Mourinho, who would inform Arthur of his favorite targets in advance, and only after getting the latter's reply would he negotiate with the opposing club.

The player Mourinho is about to sign this time is a striker, not only a player he wants to bring in, but also one of Arthur's goals.

Ibrahimovic is widely known as the greatest player of all time in the Swedish national team, but if anyone could threaten Ibrahimovic's supremacy in the Swedish national team, the answer would be the same name.

Henrik Larsson.

Larsson is best at playing as a central striker, but because he is quick, delicate and good on the ball, he often plays as a second striker, winger and even midfielder. He's not tall, just 177 centimeters, but he has the best headers that Nordic players are best at. But perhaps because of his mixed race, he has a delicate technique at his feet that most Nordic players don't have - his dribbling and break-through are quite threatening. His point-grabbing awareness and ability are also recognized as world-class. His all-round ability has made him a vital arrow figure up front for both the Swedish national team and Celtic.

In the summer of 2001, he was named Europe's top scorer for 35 league goals the previous season, winning the European Golden Boot. Including his goals in other competitive competitions, his tally for the season totals a staggering 53.

And last season, Larsson also scored a staggering 29 league goals in 33 league appearances.

In Arthur's previous life, after Larsson came to Barcelona, due to the abundance of talent in the attacking line and his advanced age, manager Rijkaard usually used him as the main substitute in the forward line to give full play to his rich experience and have the attributes of a super sub, which is what Arthur and Mourinho valued.

Although no transfer fee has yet been agreed with Celtic, Arthur is not worried, as the asking price is only £11 million. And Arthur gave Mourinho the upper limit of the transfer fee of 12 million pounds, and he believes that this time Mourinho will go and easily get this transfer.

Mourinho's side is moving quickly, and Monchi's side is not too slow.

Although Monchi is still struggling with Paris Saint-Germain over Ronaldinho's transfer fee, Heinze's transfer has been completed.

£6.7 million, that's the price Blackburn paid for having Heinze.

Before the World Cup was over, Blackburn had already made three or two transfers in a week and was about to complete one, namely Ashley Cole, Heinze and Larsson.

Arthur didn't text back, gently closed his phone, leaned back in the back chair of his newly purchased Maybach Guard, and let out a sigh of relief, then opened the window.

"Let's go ahead and do it quickly!"
