The Glory of the Godfather

Aston Villa have offered Tottenham Hotspur £4m for their Welsh left-back Gareth Bale.

Faced with an offer of 4 million pounds, Tottenham Hotspur's reply is still: 'Gareth Bale is not for sale'!

The next day, a second offer from Aston Villa arrived at Tottenham: £5m.

The offer of 5 million pounds may not seem high, but you must know that when Tottenham Hotspur bought Bell from Southampton two years ago, it only cost 5 million pounds.

Now, two seasons have passed, and there is a gap between Bell's performance and people's expected development!

Moreover, this guy is still recovering from his injury. He played twice in two years. The last time he was injured, he almost took a break for a season. It is understandable that the value of such a player has depreciated. Aston Villa is willing to offer 5 million. The price, so that Tottenham Hotspur will not lose money on Bell, he doesn't understand what else the Tottenham Hotspurs are dissatisfied with?

At this moment, Fang Jue received a call.

It was Bell's agent, Jody Stevens.

Gareth Bell belongs to the Stellar Group brokerage company, which is a world-renowned brokerage company and the largest brokerage company in England.

This company owns more than 50 players with a total worth of more than 100 million pounds, ranking fifth among all brokerage companies in the world.

Hello, Mr. Fang Jue, I'm Jody Stevens, and I'm Gareth Bell's agent. The other party introduced himself, Mr. Jonathan Babette specially arranged for me to be Gareth Bell's agent. Bell's exclusive agent.

Jonathan Barnett is one of the founders of the Stellar Group brokerage company and one of the bigwigs in the economic circle. Fang Jue knew that what the other party said was tantamount to self-promotion, not just his own status. It is also the status of Gareth Bale: this is a player that our agency boss also values.

Fang Jue is very familiar with this point. When he was the head of a mobile business communication platform, he often introduced himself to guests as a communicator of the United Nations intangible cultural heritage.

The atmosphere of communication between Fang Jue and Jodi Stevens is still relatively harmonious. Fang Jue wants to get Bell, and the latter seems to intend to push Bell to leave the sad place of Tottenham Hotspur.

...

In our opinion, you can increase the transfer offer appropriately, and we can also put a certain amount of pressure on Tottenham Hotspur. Jodi Stevens said, Strive for a The right price that all three parties can accept, complete this transfer transaction.

Six million pounds. Fang Jue thought for a moment and said directly.

No, no, less, Mr. Fang Jue. Jodi Stevens said.

Fang Jue was still thinking, when there was a voice over there, Let me come, and then Fang Jue heard a change of people on the other end of the phone.

Mr. Fang Jue, I'm Jonathan Barnett. The voice of a middle-aged man.

He didn't introduce himself, the man obviously believed that his name was famous and the other party must know it.

Fang Jue does know that the founder of Stellar Group, a big broker, is as famous in the circle as Jorge Mendes and Raiola, just because he seldom appears in person, mainly because of his brokerage company In appearance, it is not as personal legendary as Jorge Mendes and Mino Raiola.

Hello, Mr. Barnetta.

Mr. Fang Jue, make a friend. Jonathan Barnett said, Ten million pounds.

My friend, peat, you have to spend an extra four million pounds for a word?

Okay, friend. Fang Jue said immediately, 9 million pounds!

Okay, that's the price. Jonathan Barnett on the other end of the phone said with a smile, I believe that my face is also influential in Tottenham Hotspur, and they will agree to this price.

Happy cooperation. Fang Jue said, he actually wanted to say 9 million pounds just now, paid in installments over three years, but he was afraid that his friend would have nothing to do if he said it...

Jonathan Babette sold Bell's transfer on both ends. Relatively speaking, Fang felt that it was cheaper because Tottenham Hotspur did not seem to intend to sell Bell, or the price would still be higher. The request was higher, but Babette agreed to help with it.

Although Barnett helped Fang Jue this time, he didn't thank him too much. Agents like player transfers, and they can get benefits. Don't think too much of them.

Moreover, Jonathan Barnett's behavior today also made Fang Jue vigilant. This person can pressure Tottenham Hotspur to sell his face today. In the future, other teams will poach Bell. This person is not a law-abiding owner.

Let's put it this way, the head coach naturally doesn't like the agent.

...

In addition, when it comes to Gareth Bale's worth.

To be honest, Gareth Bale is indeed talented, but his performance after joining Tottenham Hotspur from Southampton can only be described as mediocre. For players who have to wait two or three months to play and don't know how their recovery is going, the transfer fee of 9 million pounds is indeed not cheap.

However, I believe that if this transfer price is made public by the media, the media in England will think it is normal again, and no one will say it is too expensive.

There is only one reason, Gareth Bale is the account book of the Premier League!

Now some news has come out that all Premier League teams will abide by the new rules next season, and the number of first-team registrations for each team is limited to 25.

Among them, there must be no more than 17 non-local players, that is, at least 8 local players. The explanation for the local players in the Premier League is as follows: regardless of the player's nationality and age. Before his 21st birthday, he was registered with the FA or a Welsh club, whether intermittently or continuously, for at least 3 years or 36 months, and he is considered a homegrown player.

The team's youth training: Refers to the player who has played for the team for 3 seasons (or 36 months) and above before the player is 21 years old

National youth training: Refers to players who have played in their home club for 3 seasons (or 36 months) and above before the player is 21 years old

Both of these meet the requirements of the account book.

Bell previously played for the first team of Tottenham Hotspur, and then traced back to the first team of Southampton. He has played for three years. He meets the requirements of the household registration policy.

With such strict regulations, only the Bundesliga can compare with the five major European leagues. There is no limit on the number of applicants in the Bundesliga, but it must be guaranteed that there are 8 local youth training players, at least 4 of whom are from the team's youth training.

Although this policy will only be implemented next season and the 2010/2011 season, the value of players who now have a Premier League account book or meet the requirements of the Premier League account book policy after another season has begun to rise.

When Fang Jue first heard about this, he couldn't help cursing Duo Lei's old mother. Before selling the house with domestic real estate agents, he first speculated that there will be good schools, supermarkets, hospitals, etc. near the community. Almost a meaning.

Therefore, in Gareth Bale's transfer price of 9 million pounds, a very important consideration is this Premier League account book.

In addition, when it comes to the registration rules of the Premier League, among the 25 registered players, players under the age of 21 can register at will, so Sadio Mane and Coulibaly in the Aston Villa team do not need to be counted in the 25. In the National People's Congress list, this gives space for many old players to sign up, but Coulibaly and Sane need to play for three years in the Premier League team before they are 21 years old before they can be recognized as players after they are over 21 years old. It is the account book of the Premier League.

Of course, Bell, who is now 20 years old, does not need to be counted in the 25-man squad.

...

On July 26, the first semi-final of the Premier League Asia Cup, Aston Villa played against West Ham United at Beijing Workers' Stadium.

For this game, Aston Villa fans, as well as many Premier League fans and even coaches are paying special attention.

This is Fang Jue's Aston Villa's first real open official game.

In the first half of the game, Fang Jue almost followed Aston Villa's lineup from last season.

The four players he brought from Ibiza, as well as the German goalkeeper Enke from Hannover, and the Swiss defender Senderos he introduced from Arsenal did not play.

In the first half of the game, Aston Villa trailed West Ham United 0-1.

Before the start of the second half of the game, Fang Jue made a large-scale substitution, and Deisler, Clement, Senderos and goalkeeper Enke all played.

In the end, he also replaced Mane, Coulibaly, and the reserve players Albrighton and Clark who followed the team to play in Asia, and players who were substitutes last season also made appearances. Chance.

In the end, Aston Villa lost 1-2 to West Ham United. It was Fang Jue's number one general Deisler who scored the goal for Aston Villa, and scored with a direct free kick.

The biggest feeling of the fans and media reporters who watched this warm-up match is: chaos!

This Aston Villa team played chaotically, with chaotic substitutions, chaotic tactics, and a mess.

Regarding the warm-up match that took place in Beijing, the Sun described it this way, We all know that he is one of the most popular young coaches in Europe, he conquered Spanish football, he shamed Real Madrid and Barcelona, But look at this game.

What is Aston Villa playing? We haven't seen progress, and it's even more chaotic than when we lost 12 games in a row last season. People who can play well in Spain need to learn humbly when they come to England. The Premier League, It's not that simple, although it's a little offensive to say, maybe he'll be able to, who knows...

However, we cannot rule out the possibility of this situation, and we will soon be able to hear (Fang-Out) cries of 'Fang Jue get out of class' at Villa Park...

PS: Thank you very much for the reward from my old friend [Tangmen Chunqiu].
