"Shaw, of course I know, he did last season was incredible to everybody, he had a great season. I don't worry about my position, I have a completely different style from him, we are able to form a very haode tacit understanding and complement; Trust me, we're all impactful and we're going to be the best combination up front. "Drogba also stepped up at this time, because everyone understands that once Xiao Qing moves to Chelsea, then Drogba's position will be a key; In an interview with The Sun, Drogba also supported Xiao Qing's joining.

'I don't know if the team is in contact with him, but I know Shaw is a high-level player. We want the team to continue to improve, so we need to get the most out of the squad and of course we need to keep adding stronger players. I'll take Shaw to get up to speed at Stamford Bridge as soon as possible, he'll love it, Chelsea is a great club and there's no reason for him to turn it down. Chelsea's banner Frank Lampard also gave his welcome in an interview with Shijie News, and at this time it looked as if Xiao Qing's arrival at Chelsea was about to happen.

Xiao Qing also felt that he seemed to be really close to Chelsea at this time, because Chelsea is a very suitable platform for him, and also because Chelsea has enough interest in himself, of course, the main reason is that Chelsea, who is not short of money, has enough confidence to take Xiao Qing away.

Now everyone is hyping Xiao Qing is almost about to move from Hoffenheim to Chelsea, and they also think that this transfer is about to happen, and now all that is missing is Xiao Qing's own nod and the negotiation between Chelsea and Hoffenheim on the transfer fee. Now it looks like this transfer is really getting infinitely close. But at this point, the unexpected seems to be starting to happen.

The Premier League's traditional semi-finals look set to be challenged in the new season. The BIG4 Group now faces new challenges; Due to the huge investment of Manchester City's backstage owner, the Abu Dhabi consortium. The race for the top four in the Premier League will be even more exciting in the new season. Although the Manchester City team only finished tenth in the league last season, they are still not to be underestimated, because Manchester City, which is not bad for money, has begun to grab people!

Since buying Villa captain Barry for 12 million pounds at the end of the season, Manchester City has poached the heart of Liverpool manager Benitez; Next, snatching Argentine striker Carlos Tevez from defending champions Manchester United is a big achievement for Manchester City, and £25 million is not too much of a problem for Manchester City, they just need to improve the competitiveness of the team quickly.

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes then targeted London giants Chelsea and Arsenal. If you can get Chelsea captain John Terry. It will not only play a role in the anchor of Manchester City's defense, but also will inevitably seriously damage Chelsea's championship strength and morale, so Manchester City did not hesitate to offer Terry a sky-high salary of 200,000 pounds, far exceeding his current 130,000-a-week salary. Although John Terry chose to stay at Stamford Bridge after the intervention of the Chelsea owners, the madness of the Manchester City team still made everyone feel the chills.

Before and after hooking up with Terry, Manchester City successively poached striker Adebayor and defender Toure from Arsenal, and relatively speaking, they are actually second choices; The Togolese striker is a replacement for Xiao Qing, while the Ivory Coast defender officially joined after Terry announced that he would stay, and Hughes has repeatedly said that Toure is not a replacement for Terry. But the fact is that Terry can't be found, and the defense can only be built with Toure as the main defence.

On staffing. Manchester City are quite luxurious at the moment, especially in the forward line, Adebayor, Tevez, Robinho, Santa Cruz, Bellamy, Benjani and others are eligible to start in any other Premier League team!

Manchester City team quickly used the check to recruit a group of very effective players, even if they are not the Premier League favorites now, but they also have a great opportunity to impact the old order of the Premier League, the traditional four giants are now under pressure, because the current Manchester City is a copy of Chelsea in previous years, they are likely to rise soon and completely, and the four giants are also likely to become the Spring and Autumn Five!

The once dominant Premier League semi-finals, the once invincible AC Milan, is now retreating from the halo of Real Madrid and Manchester City and becoming a spectator in the transfer market.

Manchester United has gone Cristiano Ronaldo, they have lost their number one star, and the Premier League has lost their signature player; So far, the top four of the Premier League have not introduced any European big stars, but directly lost C-Ronaldo, Alonso, and Arbeloa to La Liga Real Madrid, and Arsenal captain Cesceras Fabregas and Liverpool defender Mascherano were also tempted by Barcelona for a time.

As the UK will introduce a new tax system at the start of the new season, people who earn more than 150,000 pounds a year will be subject to a 50% income tax deduction, which is higher than other continental European countries, while the pound has been depreciating, which means that the existing wages of Premier League stars are discounted considerably. More and more European players are demanding their wages in euros, imposing the burden of exchange rate fluctuations on clubs. If a Premier League team can't meet the wage demands of their star, they can't stop them from running to other leagues.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "With the pound and the tax system, the good days of the Premier League will be over. Quite simply, take a person who earns £1 million a year, he used to take home 600,000 a year, but with the 50% tax system, if you want to make sure he brings home 600,000, you have to give him a raise, not every club can afford that. ”

Arsenal's problems have been with loans at the Emirates Stadium, with the downturn in the property market and the club's need to refinance more than £100 million to develop the Highbury apartments have made the long-term loan at the Emirates Stadium confusing. Last year, the club's total net interest expense was just under £20 million, while the principal plus interest of the Emirates Stadium's annual loan repayment costs was about £20 million, and more importantly, it had to be repaid over the next 15 years. Because of this, Arsenal are indispensable to Arsene Wenger, who is good at long-sleeved and good at transfers, because of his shrewdness and calculation. Guaranteed Arsenal's place in the last four and a stable performance in the Champions League. It's hard to do it with anyone else!

Arsenal make £sterling in the transfer market as is customary. Since Henry can be sold, then dare to ask Wenger who else can't sell or can't! Bam Adebayor and Toure joining up at Manchester City meant the Gunners lost two more big players at the back and up front, but Arsene Wenger didn't seem to care about that.

Arsenal still have several key players in the squad, such as Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas, and if Arshavin is in good form, he will also be key to Arsenal's success, especially after the departure of Bam Adebayo. Arshavin will be positioned further into the middle and will be paired with Robin van Persie as a two-man centre-forward, making them a promising combination. It is for this reason that Wenger is not in a hurry to bring in a replacement for Adebayor, and they also have two strikers, Eduardo and Bendtner.

For Arsenal, the most important thing for them now is to maintain a certain competitiveness of the team, and what they need is to ensure that they can get out of the financial impact as much as possible with relatively stable results; In order to pay off the loan for the new stadium, Arsene Wenger is really struggling now.

The transfers of Toure and Bam Adebayo also gave the Gunners a fifth consecutive summer to let go of their main players, after Vieira, Edu in 2005 and Ashley in 2006. Cole, Campbell. In 2007 it was Henry and Reyes, and in 2008 it was Hleb and Flamini. The 2005 FA Cup was also Arsenal's most recent title. Since Vieira left, Wenger has introduced the youth storm of young players such as Cesc Fabregas, but except for the Champions League final in 2006, it is worth mentioning, Arsenal can be regarded as a failure in recent years.

Although many people are aware of the current predicament of Arsenal, they are now beginning to doubt Arsenal's ambitions, and they really don't see much hope for the future of Arsenal.

It's just that although Arsenal seems to be a little less competitive over the years, they have been able to guarantee the Champions League qualification, which is also the biggest reliance of Wenger now, because once they lose the Champions League qualification, then it may be a disaster for Arsenal, they can't afford to lose the Champions League qualification, of course, but also for the big bonus and share.

It's just that although Wenger has a lot of skills and jihua, although Wenger's training for Arsenal is quite successful, but the current Arsenal is really challenged.

Manchester City has been throwing money crazy this summer and quickly building a team that is quite combative, and Arsenal's sworn rival Tottenham Hotspur is now gaining momentum; While it is true that Arsenal's release of the main team has made them less competitive, it now looks like Arsenal has reached the lowest point of their fighting power in recent years.

If Robin van Persie doesn't get injured often, if Cesc Fabregas can play at his best, if other players such as Klich and Sagna can maintain a consistent form, then Arsenal can finish in the top four of the league, and if things don't go well and the players are in inconsistent form due to injuries, then Arsenal could even fall out of the top five!

Because it is really difficult for Van Persie to feel reassured now, although the young Van Persie came to Arsenal in the 2004-05 season, he does have a lot of potential, but he also has a natural glass man attribute.

Twenty-six league appearances in the 04-05 season, and more as a substitute; In the 2005-06 season, due to Reyes's slump and Bergkamp's imminent retirement, Van Persie had more opportunities, but this season should have exploded, he 'went further' and only made 24 league appearances!

In 2006-07, Robin van Persie became a regular at Arsenal. Van Persie's attendance has been high in the first half of the season, but in the second half of the game against Manchester United, Van Persie was forced to end the season early after suffering a metatarsal fracture while celebrating a goal!

In the summer of 2007, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry moved to Barcelona, and Van Persie became Arsenal's core scorer; But he only played fifteen league games that season!

The 2008-09 season was one of fewer injuries for Robin van Persie, but he only played 28 league games in the league!

So Wenger broke out, and the board of directors has no problem in order to repay the loan, but it can't keep picking on the door like this! (To be continued......)
