Chapter 64: Agents and Players

If you're worried about something happening, it's very likely to happen.

After the afternoon training, Gao Bo looked at the bald middle-aged man who appeared in front of him and was speechless for a while.

Damn Murphy's Law...

"Mr. Gao Bo, I am Adam White's Acting Agent! My name is Neil Jenkins! You can call me Neil. ”

The greasy middle-aged man stretched out his fat palm. Gao Bo endured the discomfort and reached out to shake hands with the man he hated.

Gao Bo withdrew his hand and sat down at his desk.

"When did Adam get an agent?"

Gao Bo sat in his chair, tilted his head and said.

Neil Jenkins didn't care about Gao Bo's arrogance, he moved a chair across the desk and sat across from Gao Bo.

"It was just yesterday, but it doesn't matter." Neil Jenkins placed a stack of papers on the large table, then slowly pushed it over to Gao Bo's side.

"With Adam's ability, he definitely shouldn't be paid in Luton."

"Of course, we're ready to give him a raise." Gao Bo does not deny this either.

He opened the file on the table.

"That's the contract my client deserves, Mr. Gao Bo."

Neil Jenkins leaned back in his chair, he looked like he wanted to lift Erlang's legs, but unfortunately there was too much fat on his legs, and this guy couldn't complete such a difficult movement as Erlang's legs. However, the agent didn't care, the expression on his face was very calm, and he looked like he had eaten his opponent.

Gao Bo remained quiet, business negotiation was not his strong point, so he now restrained all his expressions, and it was absolutely impossible for the other party to see the flaws.

He opened the contract that Neil Jenkins had drawn up.

Weekly salary.... £20,000!

Gao Bo didn't continue to look at this when he saw this, and the guy in front of him had no sincerity in negotiating at all.

What is the concept of a £20,000 weekly salary?

Now the main players of most teams in the Premier League are just a little higher than this salary, and Luton Town is only a second division team, 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 also a rich second generation, and Gao Bo has no intention of saving money for his boss.

It's just that this salary obviously completely breaks the salary structure of Luton, a second-division team. With Luton's income, it would have been impossible to adjust its salary structure to this level without an external blood transfusion.

Gao Bo closed the file and put it in the drawer of his desk.

"Mr. Neil, I think it will take a while to talk about Adam's contract, he still has four years of contract on his body, and it's too early to talk about that." Gao Bo had a professional smile on his face.

And Neil Jenkins over there smiled even more.

He knew it was the result and he didn't want Adam to stay in Luton Town at all. In fact, if it weren't for Adam's request, even this contract would not have appeared in front of Gao Bo.

Gao Bo clearly rejected the contract.

It's good to refuse..

Neil Jenkins had a gleam in his eyes, and it was time for me Neil to make money if I was able to grab the cash cow of Adam White.

There are very few options for liquidated damages in England, so clubs actually have a lot of initiative when players are still under contract.

But Neil wasn't out of the question.

Now Adam is England's genius, the hope of England touted by the English media as "on par with Messi".

As long as Adam appeals to the media, and then strikes and boycotts, it will always force Luton to agree to Adam's transfer request.

Neil's calculations were loud.

.......

"Look, Adam, you don't have any status in Luton..."

Adam has now moved out and rented a house in Luton City, and although Adam's salary is not high among professional footballers, his income is still higher than that of the average Englishman.

"Look at the newspapers these days!!"

"You're a genius in England!! Do you know Rooney? How much does Rooney make now? You can't imagine it!! ”

Neil Jenkins frothed at the mouth.

Alan White looked at his brother a little bewildered, and the tangle on Adam White's face couldn't hide it at all.

As black kids who came out of the slums, they had no experience in dealing with such things.

Adam White didn't know if he should trust the agent in front of him, even though he looked like he was okay with himself and went to great lengths to get the club to ask for a raise......

But Adam White always felt a hint of unease in his heart...

.....

Gao Bo did not change his plans just because Adam suddenly had an agent, and Luton's training and game arrangements are still as planned.

On 14 January, Luton Town played away to Chester in the league.

After a week of refinement, the Luton players are in great form. Although Chester, who were playing at home, were in a desperate posture from the start of the game, it was Jamie Vardy who opened up the game with a scramble from inside the box in the 21st minute.

Luton were in control of the game for the rest of the game, but they failed to score again until the end of the first half.

A one-goal lead is not safe, and if one is stolen by the opponent's counter-attack, Luton's three points will become a point.

So in the second half, Gao Bo made a change, and he replaced Adam White who was sitting on the bench.

"Play on the right side and let Kevin play on the left! After taking the ball, break into the box, both horizontally and vertically, pay attention to the position of Jamie and Charlie, and have a chance to pass the ball to them!! Do you understand?! Gao Bo put his arm around Adam's neck on the sidelines and explained.

When Gao Bo stood on the sidelines with his arms around Adam White's neck, Adam's mood was very complicated.

However, Gao Bo did not look the other way at Adam White because of his agent.

In fact, Gao Bo can understand the players' thoughts very well, loyalty is this kind of nonsense Gao Bo himself does not believe, most of the professional players play football to make money, maybe some people will say that they are because of honor and love, but if there is no financial support, honor and love can not support the huge and complex league system in Europe.

Gao Bo is business-oriented, but Adam is full of heart.

As a result, when Adam came on, he was nowhere near as good as he was against Chelsea in the FA Cup.

"You're going to shoot more!! That's how you can score!! You can only get media attention if you score more goals!! ”

Adam's mind remembered what his agent, Neil Jenkins, had said to him.

But Gao Bo's explanation on the sidelines also lingered in his ears.

Gobo asked him to break through and find a striker, with Adam finishing behind Jamie Vardy and Charlie Austin in the team's right to fire.

On the one hand, the young Adam felt that his agent's words were reasonable, because on the football field, the players who scored goals were the most sought after, but on the other hand, he did not question Gao Bo's arrangement, because the manager had led them to such a brilliant achievement, and they even beat Chelsea.

Once people think too much, they may not do as well as they want.

The preoccupied Adam was tackled on his first touch on the pitch.

The ball was passed wide by Drink-Water, and Adam was ready to break through vertically after receiving the ball, but he thought of Neil Jenkins' statement and had the urge to cut inside laterally.

As a result, he hesitated for a moment, and his ball was snatched away...

Gao Bo frowned on the sidelines, this is definitely not what Adam should behave on the court!
