After announcing Hernandez's departure, Blackburn's next transfer news still leaves their supporters feeling a little sad. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On 18 August, Chelsea announced on their official website that Blackburn Rovers left-back Bynes had joined for £20 million, signing the 31-year-old to a three-year contract, Chelsea's third signing of the summer.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Everton had previously pursued the veteran who had been known as the Premier League's No. 1 left-back, but in the end Chelsea won the battle for Baines, who still spent £20 million for him despite being 31 years old.

On the official website, Chelsea confirmed that they have signed a five-year contract with Bynes, saying happily: 'Joining a reigning league champion is special, and now I look forward to achieving more during my time at Chelsea and I look forward to helping the team achieve more success with my new team-mates. ”

Blackburn's main left-back position was gradually replaced by Cesar Azpilicueta, who was plagued by injury last season, and is no longer part of Blackburn's future plans because of his age.

Although Chelsea won the Premier League title last season, Mourinho is seriously dissatisfied with the team's left-back, whether it is Felipe who is not used to the soil, or Cuadrado, who is more like a winger, it is not in line with Mourinho's tactical arrangement, although the introduction of 31-year-old Baines is only a temporary solution, but the transfer fee of 20 million pounds is not a burden for Abou at all.

With Blackburn Rovers left with only cameo Cesar Azpilicueta and teenager Danny Rose at left-back, is Arthur so confident in his position?

After all, if Cesar Azpilicueta is unavailable or the Spanish full-back moves to the right, will Danny Rose be able to hold up on the left side of the team?

The answer, naturally, is not assured.

Why did you choose to sell Bynes?

After all, £20 million is not a sky-high price, and it will definitely not impress Arthur as much as De Bruyne's nearly 100 million euros.

It didn't take long for Blackburn to come up with the answer, because they had a better choice!

On August 20, Blackburn officially announced that the team had signed 23-year-old David Alaba from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

The 23-year-old Alaba was born on June 24, 1992 and made his debut in Bayern Munich's academy with impressive pace and breaking ability. In 2013, he won the Bundesliga championship, the German Cup and the European Champions Cup with the team. On November 11, 2013, Alaba was named Austrian Athlete of the Year. This is the first time since 1997 that a footballer has won the award. Prior to that, Alaba had been voted Austrian Footballer of the Year three times in a row. In the Bundesliga, he has the reputation of being the world's first left-back.

It stands to reason that Bayern Munich, a young star like Alaba, would never choose to sell, but two factors have caused them to waver.

On the one hand, because of injury concerns, on April 1 this year, the official website of Bayern Munich announced that Alaba's absence for seven weeks due to injury, which was also the second time that Alaba was hit by a knee ligament injury last season. In Bayern Munich's view, Alaba, who was frequently injured in the same part last season, has the possibility of becoming a "glass man".

On the other hand, it is because Alaba himself has the intention of leaving the team. Last season, Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has been using Alaba's central defender and midfielder position, which is a position that Alaba's is not familiar with or even dislikes.

After seeing the possibility of a promising introduction to Alaba, Arthur asked Monchi to submit a transfer offer of 40 million euros to Bayern Munich!

In the end, Bayern Munich did not resist Blackburn's heavy temptation and traded Alaba to Blackburn for a transfer fee of 40 million pounds, equivalent to 55 million euros. If you include the add-ons, the total value of the deal can reach a staggering £48 million, which is equivalent to €66 million!

Alaba will wear the No. 3 shirt left by Baines for the new season, and the two sides will sign a four-year contract with a one-year extension.

At the unveiling ceremony at the Araba Rose Theatre, Blackburn sporting director Monchi announced that the Blackburn transfer door would be completely closed this summer, but just a day later, the transfer issue about Blackburn Rovers caused another stir.

In the new Premier League season on August 15, Manchester United faced Swansea City at home and lost directly.

Manchester United have lost three consecutive defeats to Swansea City in the Premier League last season, leaving only Wayne Rooney in the middle of the list, and in the second half, Van Gaal even used Fellaini, the team's defender, as a central striker.

Manchester United's "weak forward" problem was once again exposed, and coach Louis van Gaal stressed after the game that he would not go to the transfer market to buy people because of this defeat.

Manchester United's defeat to Swansea City is hardly an upset. Swansea won twice against Manchester United last season and have won three in a row against Manchester United, all of which were 2-1.

United relied on Juan Mata's goal to take the lead, while Swansea City came forward in the second half with goals from Ayew and Gomi to give them a comeback victory.

Wayne Rooney started alone again up front. However, Rooney, who had just scored a hat-trick in the Champions League qualifiers in midweek, returned to the league without any form and failed to take advantage of the one-on-one chance twice.

Rooney's decline in form is worrying, and more importantly, after the departure of Falcao and Robin van Persie, Rooney is the only full-fledged centre-forward in the Manchester United squad, and if Rooney is injured or suspended, United will directly face a situation where there is no centre-forward available.

However, Van Gaal's post-match stance remained tough. He said: 'We are Manchester United and a club like ours will never be satisfied with the squad, but now is the final moment of the transfer window and at this point we are definitely not going to sign players who we haven't scouted before. ”

Players who haven't been scouted won't be signed, but it's a secret which players United have scouted. The summer transfer window is about to close, and major British media outlets have reported transfer rumours at their best. According to British media reports, Manchester United are targeting Blackburn's French striker Anthony Martial.

At just 19 years old, Anthony Martial is known as the "New Henry". Last season, he made 24 appearances for Blackburn Rovers across all fronts, scoring six goals and showing great potential. British media have reported that Manchester United have made an offer of up to £36 million for the promising future star.

In the transfer market this summer, Manchester United brought in Depay, Schneiderlin, Darmian, Schweinsteiger and Romero, and after Van Gaal joined the Red Devils, he made several more signings, but he still felt it was far from enough.

Manchester United is Manchester United after all, Van Gaal is a big deal again, after the lack of strikers, the Red Devils opened a deal to pursue Martial, after Wenger had played the idea of the French star, but Monchi was simply dismissive of Arsenal's offer to buckle the rope, and even reported to Arthur at all.

Now, United continue to pursue Anthony Martial, with their offer of £36 million and clearly room to rise, and this time Monchi did not dare to turn down directly, instead reporting it to Arthur.

"Play with him and kill them!"

Monchi understood his boss's explanation, that is, Martial will definitely not sell, but he can't let Manchester United know now, but he has been dragging them down, thus influencing Manchester United to bring in suitable strikers from other clubs.

Therefore, in the face of Manchester United's offer of 36 million pounds, Monchi came forward to refuse, and claimed that they had put a price tag of 80 million pounds on Martial.

Although Anthony Martial is likely to continue as a super substitute for Blackburn Rovers in the new season, the 95-year-old youngster is only 20 years old and is not only an excellent center forward, but also can appear in multiple positions such as left and right wingers and wingbacks, making him a rare striker.

Many media speculated that from Blackburn's point of view, they categorically did not want to lose Martial, and the price of 80 million pounds was marked in the hope of scaring off Manchester United, but Van Gaal has always liked to make a big deal in the transfer market since he became the owner of Manchester United, although Blackburn's asking price is not low, but it is not ruled out that Manchester United may meet the asking price.

In fact, as early as June this year, the Manchester United general manager made contact with Anthony Martial's father, and last month, United representatives even arrived in Blackburn Rovers for negotiations. It can be seen that Manchester United really appreciate Anthony Martial, although the transaction is not easy, but Van Gaal's attitude says it all, "The transfer window closes on September 1, and before that, anything is possible. ”

However, Van Gaal's "everything is possible" will eventually be slapped in the face by Blackburn, because Arthur did not even think about selling Martial, whose potential has not yet been fully realized, and Chef Van can only be a bamboo basket for water.

Coincidentally, in addition to Anthony Martial, Manchester City's other club, also wanted to bring in another Academy player from Blackburn Rovers, Raheem Sterling, but the result was also dragged by Blackburn for two months, and finally announced that the deal fell through.

After the failure of Manchester United and Manchester City to dig into the wall, Blackburn's squad for the new season has been completely finalized.

The current Blackburn line-up, in Arthur's words, is "the best of their own formation has been achieved"!
