Because Blackburn Rovers have won the championship ahead of schedule this season, even if Mourinho's new coach takes office, the team's purpose in the last five rounds of the league is only to practice, which is equivalent to a pre-season warm-up, just to let Mourinho get familiar with the style of English football as soon as possible. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At the same time, Arthur also led the Blackburn management to start working hard to plan a summer transfer in advance.

Although the Premier League transfer summer window is from 0:00 on July 1 to 0:00 on September 1, it would be too tight to wait until the summer window starts and spend just two months to trade and sign. Therefore, all teams are actively preparing, but they are not announced to the public.

Moreover, starting the transfer plan in advance is also a good time for the team to contact the players they want.

Although according to the regulations, without the consent of the opposing club, other club managers are not allowed to contact the target player, but it is always inevitable to meet with the player privately to discuss the possibility of cooperation, this kind of contact is difficult to define whether friends meet secretly, no one can stop it.

And the meeting before the transfer period can also escape the attention of the FA and media reporters to a certain extent.

……

"Jose, West Ham central midfielder, what do you think?" Inside Upton Park, Arthur and Jose Mourinho in disguise hid in a corner, watching the intense game in action while sneaking in the talk.

"Not bad!" Mourinho touched his chin, nodded, and analyzed: "Although his skills are not delicate, he is very concise and efficient, and his good overall view makes him have a strong midfield passing and dispatching ability." The forward attack and long-range shooting are excellent, although the speed is not fast, but the endurance is good, and the ability to run without interruption is strong. It covers a large range on the field, and the defense is obviously better than the average attacking forward, and it can play a central midfielder with balanced offensive and defensive responsibilities or even a left-behind midfielder......"

'Arthur, he's what I need, and even the central midfielder I've found to be the best fit for me at the moment, with him, Ibrahimovic and Alonso in the middle of the midfield, don't worry about the attack anymore. Mourinho finally concluded.

"No problem, as long as you say so, then I'll bring it to the team for you." Arthur assured.

"But...... I've heard that he has no shortage of buyers in the transfer market, and the one in London has even made an offer of tens of millions of pounds. Mourinho hesitated, after all, he was just a rookie coach at this time, and he was not the madman who could not be killed in the future.

"Jose, as long as you like it, what is 10 million, 20 million? Count me as my first onboarding gift to you! Arthur said proudly.

On the one hand, Arthur's arrogance comes from the fact that he has earned more money in the stock market than he expected, and he currently has nearly 100 million dollars in profits in the stock market.

On the other hand, is because the player he and Mourinho are looking forward to is called Frank? Frank Lampard, the most goalscoring midfielder in Premier League history, holds the record of 164 consecutive Premier League starts.

The power of the "magic lamp", there is no need to repeat it!

And in Arthur's previous life, Frank Lampard reached the pinnacle of his career under Jose Mourinho's coach, so he is not worried that Frank Lampard, who can become Chelsea's all-time leading goalscorer, will be "uncomfortable" when he joins Blackburn.

In Arthur's precedent life, West Ham United suffered a violent turmoil in 2001, with Frank Lampard's fathers Frank Lampard Sr. and Redknapp Sr. leaving, and West Ham United selling Rio Ferdinand. Frank Lampard joined Chelsea in March 2001 for £11 million after being called upon by a number of clubs.

However, in this life, because of Arthur's intervention, Chelsea's £11 million did not take Lampard with him, and in the face of Blackburn's higher offer, West Ham United chose to wait for the price to sell.

'Jose, I'll leave the contact with Frank Lampard to you, and I'll negotiate with the West Ham hierarchy.' Arthur said that he believed that Mourinho in this life could still summon his "old subordinates" in the previous life with his charisma.

"No problem!" Mourinho and Arthur smiled and high-fived.

……

"Arthur, the deal for Frank Lampard is almost finalised, it depends on the difference between us and West Ham on the transfer fee, the greedy West Ham United are not happy with our £16 million offer, and now they claim that they will not sell it for £20 million." Mensa Bangsu reported.

"****'s Premier League account book!" Arthur cursed in his heart, in fact, if Lampard was not an English player, the current 23-year-old would be enough to get around £10 million at best, and it would be a premium.

As for the value of 20 million pounds, it is already the value of a world-class top midfielder.

"Premier League account book" specifically refers to a local player who plays in the Premier League, once he has this halo, then he can be worth twice as much in the Premier League, and carrots can be sold for ginseng price.

If the "migrant worker" can sell for 5 million pounds, then the average English player will be marked with a sky-high price of 20 million pounds.

In fact, the status of the Premier League is mainly due to the leagues and UEFA's strict restrictions on the proportion of youth players in each team's squad.

For a team, there is a limit to the number of players in the squad for the entire season, regardless of the Under-21 players, while UEFA and national football federations have limited the number of domestic youth players in the squad. Therefore, it is only natural to have better domestic youth players fill this part of the list, and it is understandable that when a strong local player comes to the fore, he is chased by many parties.

In the case of the complete strength of the two players, having a hukou means not occupying the other places in the team, and over time, fans will have the attribute of "home country training" as having a "hukou book".

In comparison, the Premier League is more expensive than other leagues.

The first reason is because from the perspective of registration rules, the youth training requirements of the Premier League are higher than those of other leagues, and there are only a handful of youth players who can play the main role in the first team of the Premier League.

The FA stipulates that players aged 8-11 must not drive more than 60 minutes from home to the training ground, and players aged 12-16 must not drive more than 90 minutes from home to the training ground, otherwise signing is prohibited.

This has caused a huge dilemma for the selection of good clubs, such as the famous Southampton academy, which has half of its territory in the English Channel within a radius of tens of miles.

The output and quality cannot keep up, so once a young English player makes a breakthrough, it will inevitably attract strong attention from the British media, and the competition for them will inevitably increase the value of the player.

The second reason is that this is determined by the traditional team-building policy of the Premier League - Premier League teams have always been based on local stars, which is the fundamental policy of British giants such as Manchester United and Liverpool to dominate the United Kingdom, and the "heirloom" will naturally continue. Only with local stars will the team's appeal to domestic fans last.

The third reason, which also has to do with the shift in the team's transfer strategy. In terms of attraction to top stars, although there are many big teams in the Premier League, it is difficult to beat Serie A, which still holds the reputation of "Little World Cup", as well as Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga.

As for non-top stars, especially young players in Europe, once they are favored by the Premier League giants, their clubs must be lion-mouthed, otherwise they would rather sell to their own giants. In addition, scouts are everywhere now, but whenever there is a genius who rises to the top, he will be targeted by all giants in a blink of an eye, and if there are many opponents, the Premier League giants will not have an advantage.

There are not so many worries about buying the "Premier League account book", after all, everyone is mixed in a circle, familiar with each other, knows the roots, the operability of the transaction is strong, and it is convenient to bargain.

Moreover, local youngsters marry into giants, and they can always be substitutes with peace of mind, less arrogant in Europe, and more familiar with the rhythm and atmosphere of the English arena, and easy to integrate into the new environment. If you play eye-catching, you will get a colorful voice, and you will embark on the road to success; If the performance is not good, the fans can't bear to be too harsh, the team leaves a reputation for reusing compatriots, and there will be no shortage of homes when it is sold, so why not?

Among various factors, the most important reason for the skyrocketing price of the English account itself is still caused by the limitation of the number of youth players, especially the scarcity of good local players, which raises the value of a small number of excellent players out of the normal pricing system, and even extreme phenomena such as buying English players just to sign up.

The magic of the household register comes from this.

"Well......" Arthur thought for a moment and said decisively, "continue to talk to them, and if it really doesn't work, promise them, but ask for installments." ”

Arthur would rather be known as a 'dumb big' than want Frank Lampard to join a deep-pocketed Chelsea side like he did in the past, so he has to make a quick deal out of the way.

"No problem, as soon as July 1st arrives, I think the deal will be able to be announced, so what is our next goal?" Mensa Bangsu asked.

"Jose and I already have a goal!" Arthur handed him a blank piece of paper with the name of a player written on it, "This is the next player we need to go all out to conquer!" ”

"This ......"

Mensah Bangsu was stunned when he saw the names of the players on the white paper.

After a moment, Mensah Boonsu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Arthur, I have to admit that this is really an absolutely excellent player, and I don't think there is a team in the Premier League that would not be hungry for him." But this ...... How can it be? And snatched from that one's hand! It's not that I'm not confident, because it's definitely an impossible task! ”

"Mensa, I know it's hard." Old God Arthur replied: "But don't worry, everything will turn around." ”
