After putting aside the 8 million pounds for the introduction of Ivanovic, Blackburn still scored 70 million pounds, but after the damage to players such as Heinze and Robben, the strength of the Blue Devils will inevitably be greatly reduced, so new reinforcements are naturally essential.

Before and after Real Madrid announced the successful signing of Arjen Robben, Blackburn announced a replacement for Peter Pan.

In the early hours of July 27, Blackburn announced the signing of Southampton's 18-year-old left-back Bale, who signed a six-year contract.

Gareth Bale, born 16 July 1989 in Cardiff City, Wales, is the nephew of former Cardiff City goalscorer Chris Pike and sees Ryan Giggs as his football icon.

On 17 April 2006, at the age of 16 years and 275 days, Bale became the second-youngest player in Southampton's history to make a 2-0 appearance in that game. On 6 August, Bale scored his first professional league goal in a 1-1 draw with Derby County, scoring his maiden goal from a direct free-kick. The free kick scored a goal, which became Bale's secret weapon for a while, which also made Bale famous.

In December 2006, Bale won the BBC's Caine James Award for Welsh Rookie of the Year in Sport, and in April 2007 he was named Rookie of the League. On 12 May 2007, Bale made his final appearance for the Saints in Southampton's game against Derby County, scoring five goals in 45 games for the Saints.

Bale's transfer fee is £5 million, which can rise to £10 million depending on the number of appearances and performances.

Many media believe that the Blue Devils brought in Bale in order to find a suitable replacement for Ashley Cole after Heinze's departure, but Arthur and Lippi are optimistic that Bale can replace Robben and compete well with Duff in the left wing-back position of the team.

It was Arthur and Lippi's plan to move Bale forward that moved Bale so much that he turned down Tottenham's offer and agreed to join the Blues.

Soon, Arthur also responded to Bale's arrival, that is, the introduction of a left-back, officially announcing that Bale's position in the new season will be between left midfielder and left winger.

On July 31, Blackburn officially announced that they had reached an agreement with Wigan Athletic to officially sign Baines, a four-year contract, with the option to renew for one year when the contract expires.

Blackburn Rovers have not announced the details of Baines' transfer, however, according to a number of British media reports, the homegrown left-back is valued at between £5 million (Daily Mirror) and £5.5 million (Daily Mail).

It is worth mentioning that although Wigan's board of directors previously approved the £6 million offer for Sunderland and Everton, Baines himself rejected both contracts and defected to the Blue Devils instead.

In reality, Blackburn's offer is not as high as Sandra and Everton, with a transfer fee of only £5 million, while the additional £1 million depends on Baines' appearance figures for the new season.

After the introduction of Baines, Blackburn will form the England national team lineup of Ashley Cole + Baines at left-back, although I dare not say that I have won the Europa League, but at least within the scope of the Premier League, it is unmatched.

And Bynes, who is four years younger than Ashley Cole, could spare Arthur from worrying about left-back problems for at least two or three years as Kerr gets older.

Heinze's departure has not only left Blackburn without a qualified substitute for Ashley Cole, but also a little thin in the centre-back position, despite having Cannavaro, Carvalho, Nemanja Vidic and Martin Taylor.

At Lippi's request, Arthur brought him a young defender with a lot of potential.

On August 21, Bundesliga club Hamburg officially announced that it had officially accepted the offer of Manchester City club Arjen Robben of the English Premier League to Belgian central defender Vincent Kompany.

Sporting manager Dietmar Beiersdorf said: "Hamburg have agreed with Blackburn for the transfer of Kompany. We wish Vincent all the best of luck for the future. ”

Kompany's transfer fee is only £6 million, after all, he has only played six Bundesliga games for Hamburg since moving from Anderlecht last year, and under Mendes's lead, Kompany has few reasons to refuse in the face of the temptation of the Blue Devils and Lippi.

After Heinze moved to Real Madrid, Blackburn signed Baines + Kompany for less than half of his transfer fee, which is not a loss-making deal by any means.

In goalball, Barthez's retirement left the Blues' No.2 goalkeeper vacant, giving Joe Hart a glimmer of opportunity, but he was soon told by Monchi that he would still be sent out on loan for the next season as a new No.2 goalkeeper had been found.

Legendary Italian goalkeeper Peruzzi was set to announce his retirement last season, but was called by his mentor Lippi, and the 37-year-old joined Blackburn Rovers as a free agent after his contract with Lazio ended this summer, signing the final contract of his career for one year.

The 37-year-old Peruzzi has been in goal for the Italian national team 31 times. At the 2006 World Cup in Germany, he was a substitute for the main goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. In addition to playing for the national team, Peruzzi has played for Juventus, Inter Milan and other big-name teams since joining Roma in 1987. During his time at Juventus, he won three league titles and the 1993 UEFA Cup and the 1996 Champions Cup.

After the transfer market signed Branislav Ivanovic, Gareth Bale, Baines, Vincent Kompany and Peruzzi, Arthur's Blackburn Rovers have not been given a halt to the problem that plagued their occasional lack of strikers last season has yet to be resolved.

The strongest man is already in his own squad?

Sorry, Arthur doesn't like to numb himself with the excuse of "the most defeated".

Moreover, Blackburn Rovers has been selling stars in the transfer market in recent years, which is somewhat inconsistent with the image of a giant that Arthur hopes to build.

So, this summer, Arthur is ready to come to the pen "big"!

On August 12, on the eve of the opening of the new Premier League season, Blackburn Rovers finally brought in a striker!

Blackburn Rovers and Atletico Madrid have agreed in principle on a transfer fee for Torres, with Blackburn Rovers paying £27 million for the Spanish striker. It was Blackburn's first major deal decided in the transfer market this summer.

The 23-year-old Spanish striker has played 212 games and scored 82 goals at Atletico Madrid and has said more than once about his desire for the Premier League: "If I leave La Liga, I want to go to the Premier League because the league there is very interesting and the Italian one is not so attractive. ”

On 13 August, Torres will begin talks with Blackburn Rovers on a personal contract.

Fernando Torres scored 14 league goals in La Liga last season and helped Atletico win the UEFA Cup, but the Champions decided to leave his hometown club Atletico Rovers for Blackburn Rovers in the summer.

Arthur has always been stingy in the transfer fee for bringing in players, but he is quite generous in terms of player salaries. Because the transfer fee is paid to other clubs, the salary is for their own players.

For his own people, Arthur naturally has to be generous. Otherwise, how can you expect the other party to sell you your life?

Early in the morning of August 16, in the press conference hall of the Blackburn headquarters, Torres, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, appeared at the scene of the press conference.

Torres came to the podium with a confident smile on his face and sat down in the center with Arthur.

"Dear journalists, I am honored to announce today that we have a new striker who has joined the team for the new season - Mr. 27 million Fernando Torres!"

With Arthur's words, the spotlights flashed even more dazzlingly, all of which were aimed at Torres and Arthur at the scene, and Torres couldn't open his eyes at all.

No way, who made Torres so young to be the Premier League transfer bid for a year?

However, thinking of this, Arthur not only sighed, the current transfer fee is really not too high, you must know that the transfer fee of players who were only new stars in the previous life is often above 30 million, and players of Torres's level are at least 50 million, and now it is the last time to buy players at a low price.

"We hope that in the years to come, Fernando can reach the top with Blackburn, and I believe that he will be able to achieve a brilliant record with his teammates at Blackburn!" Arthur's subsequent words immediately drew a round of applause from everyone in the audience.

Then the staff handed two contracts to Arthur and Torres, and they had read both of them before, and there were no problems, so they quickly signed their names on them.

After that, Arthur and Torres exchanged contracts, signed another name each, and then showed reporters this new contract, this new five-year contract stipulates Torres's weekly salary of up to 70,000 pounds, which will bring Torres more than 3 million pounds a year, and also set bonuses for the team's achievements, including various goals and appearances. If Torres can maintain his scoring rate from last season, he could earn no less than £4 million a year.

After that, Torres and Arthur always held up a Blackburn Rovers jersey for the new season, showing the media that Torres will wear the number 9 shirt after Larsson's departure in the new season.

The handsome Torres in the shot, full of confidence and charming smile, became the cover character of the major media in European football that day.

……

But the day after Torres' signing ceremony, Arthur heard very bad news from Monchi. (To be continued.) )
