Chapter 64 Agents and Players
If you are worried about something happening, it is very likely that it will happen.
After the afternoon training, Gao Bo looked at the bald middle-aged man who appeared in front of him for a while.
Damn Murphy's Law...
"Mr. Gao Bo, I am Adam White's agent agent! My name is Neil Jenkins! You can call me Neil."
This greasy middle-aged man stretched out his fat palm. Gao Boqiang endured the discomfort and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the person he hated.
Gao Bo withdrew his hand, then sat down on his desk.
"When did Adam have an agent?"
Gao Bo sat in a chair, raised his head and said.
Neil Jenkins didn't care about Gao Bo's arrogance either. He moved a chair on the other side of the desk and sat opposite Gao Bo.
"It was yesterday, but this is not important." Neil Jenkins put a stack of files on the large desktop, and then slowly pushed it towards Gao Bo.
"With Adam's ability, he definitely shouldn't be the current salary in Luton."
"Of course, we are ready to raise his salary." Gao Bo did not deny this.
He opened the file on the desk.
"This is the contract my client deserves, Mr. Gao Bo."
Neil Jenkins leaned back on the chair. He looked like he wanted to lift his legs, but it was a pity that there was too much fat on his legs, and this guy couldn't perform such difficult movements as his legs. But the agent didn't care, his expression on his face was calm, as if he was sure of his opponent.
Gao Bo is calm, business negotiation is not his strong point, so now he has reduced all his expressions, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to see the flaws.
He opened the contract drawn up by Neil Jenkins.
Weekly salary...£20,000!
Gao Bo didn't watch it any more when he saw this. The guy in front of him had no sincerity in negotiations.
What is the concept of a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds?
Now the main players of most teams in the Premier League are just a little higher than this salary. Luton is only a second division team and it is impossible to give a player such a high salary.
It's not that Luton can't afford it. Although David Morton is not particularly rich, he is a rich second generation at any rate. Gao Bo didn't mean to save money for his boss.
It's just that such a salary obviously completely breaks the salary structure of Luton, a second-tier team. With Luton's income, if there is no external blood transfusion, it is absolutely impossible to adjust his salary structure to this level.
Gao Bo closed the document and put it in the drawer of the desk.
"Mr. Neal, I think it will take some time to talk about Adam's contract. He still has a four-year contract on him. It is too early to talk about this." Gao Bo said on his face. Professional smile.
And Neil Jenkins over there smiles more.
He knew this was the result. He didn't want Adam to stay with Luton at all. In fact, if it hadn't been for Adam's request, even this contract would not have appeared before Gao Bo.
Gao Bo obviously rejected this contract.
It's fine if you refuse..
Neal Jenkins' eyes flashed brightly, and it was time for me, Neil, to make money if he could grab the cash cow of Adam White.
England teams rarely have the option of contract liquidated damages, so in fact, the club has a lot of initiative when the player's contract period is still long.
But Neil can't help it.
Now Adam is the genius of England, the hope of England that is touted by the English media as "matching Messi".
As long as Adam appeals to the media and then goes on strike or something, Luton will always be forced to agree to Adam's transfer request.
Neil's abacus is playing very loudly.
...
"Adam, look, you have no place at all in Luton..."
Adam is now moving out and renting a house in Luton City. Although Adam's salary is not high among professional players, his income is still higher than the average Englishman.
"Look at the newspapers these days!!"
"You are a genius in England!! Do you know Rooney? How much Rooney earns now? You can't even imagine!!!"
Neil Jenkins frothed and agitated.
Alan White looked at his brother at a loss, and the entanglement on Adam White's face could not be concealed at all.
As black children walking out of a slum, they have no experience in handling such things.
Adam White doesn't know if he should trust the agent in front of him, even though he seems to be good to him, he tried his best to find the club and ask for a raise...
But in Adam White's heart, always vaguely feel a little uneasy...
...
Gao Bo did not change his plan just because Adam suddenly had an agent. Luton's training and game arrangements were still in order.
On January 14, Luton League played Chester away.
After a week of repairs, Luton players are in very good condition. Although Chester at home played a defensive posture from the beginning of the game, in the 21st minute of the game, Vardy scored in the penalty area and helped the team open the situation.
Luton still controlled the situation in the next game, but until the end of the first half, Luton could not score again.
A goal lead is not safe, if the opponent steals one back, Luton's three-pointer will become one point.
Gao Bo made an adjustment in the second half, and he replaced Adam White on the bench.
"Kick to the right after playing, let Kevin go to the left! After taking the ball, break into the penalty area, both horizontally and vertically. Pay attention to the positions of Jamie and Charlie, and have a chance to pass the ball to them!! Understand?!" Gao Bo put his arms around Adam's neck and explained.
While Gao Bo was standing on the sidelines with Adam White's neck around, Adam's mood was very complicated.
But Gao Bo did not take Adam White seriously because of the agent.
In fact, Gao Bo understands the players' thinking very well. Gao Bo himself does not believe in loyalty. Most of the professional players play for money. Perhaps some people will say that he is because of honor and love, but if there is no financial support, Honor and love can't support Europe's huge and complicated league system.
Gao Bo is on business, but Adam is full of thoughts.
The result is that when Adam came on the field, his performance was far inferior to his performance against Chelsea in the FA Cup.
"You have to shoot more goals!!! Then you can score goals!!! Only more goals can you get media attention!!!"
Adam thought of what the agent Neil Jenkins said to him.
But Gao Bo's explanation from the sidelines also lingers in his ears.
Gao Bo asked him to find a striker after he broke through. Adam's firing rights in the team are ranked behind Vardy and Charlie Austin.
On the one hand, the young Adam's psychology felt that what the agent said was reasonable, because on the football field, the players who scored were the most sought after. On the other hand, he did not question Gao Bo's arrangement because the coach had already led them to achieve After such a brilliant achievement, they even beat Chelsea.
Once people think too much, they may not do what they want.
The worried Adam was intercepted on the first touch of the ball.
At that time, the football was passed to the wing by Derlink Water, and Adam prepared to make a vertical breakthrough after receiving the ball, but he also thought of Neil Jenkins's statement, and there was another urge to dribble the ball and shoot inward.
He hesitated for a while and his ball was snatched...
Gao Bo frowned on the sidelines. This is definitely not what Adam should have on the court!
