Aston Villa have made a £4 million offer to Tottenham Hotspur for their Welsh left-back Gareth. Bel.

In the face of the £4 million offer, Tottenham Hotspur's reply was still: 'Gareth Bell is not for sale'!

The next day, Aston Villa's second offer reached Tottenham Hotspur: £5 million.

The £5 million offer may not seem high, but when Tottenham Hotspur bought Bale from Southampton two years ago, it only cost £5 million.

Now, two seasons later, Bale's performance is far from what people expect them to do.

Moreover, this guy is still recovering from an injury, he has been on it twice in two years, and he was injured last time for almost a season, such a player, the depreciation of value is understandable, Aston Villa is willing to offer a price of 5 million, so that Tottenham Hotspur will not lose money on Bale, he doesn't understand what else is Tottenham Hotspur dissatisfied with?

At this time, Fang Jue received a phone call.

It's Jordi, Bale's agent. Stevens called.

Gareth. Bell is part of StellarGroup, a globally renowned brokerage and the largest in England.

The company has more than 50 players under its umbrella, and the total value of the players is more than 100 million pounds, ranking fifth among all agencies in the world.

"Hello, Mr. Fang Jue, I'm Jodi. Stevens, is Gareth. Bell's agent. The other person introduced himself and said, "It's Jonathan. Mr. Babette specially arranged for me to serve as Gareth. Bell's exclusive broker. ”

Jonathan. Barnett is one of the founders of StellarGroup, one of the bigwigs in the circle of economic people, Fang Jue knows that the other party said this, which is tantamount to raising his own value, not only his own status, but also Gareth. Bale's status: This is a player that our agency bosses also value.

Fang Jue is familiar with this, and when he was the head of a mobile business exchange platform, he often introduced himself to his guests as a disseminator of the United Nations intangible cultural heritage.

Fang Jue and Jodi. Stevens' exchange atmosphere is still relatively harmonious, Fang Jue wants to get Bale, who also seems to be interested in pushing Bale to leave the sad place of Tottenham Hotspur.

……

"In our opinion, you can increase the transfer offer a little bit, and we can also put some pressure on Tottenham Hotspur." Jodi. "Trying to get this deal done at the right price that all three of us can accept." ”

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

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

Fang Jue was still thinking, and a voiceover voice came from there, 'Let me come', and then Fang Jue heard a change on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Fang Jue, I'm Jonathan. Barnett. The voice of a middle-aged and elderly 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 StellarGroup, the broker boss, is famous in the circle and Jorge. Mendes and Raiola are tied only because he rarely appears in person, mainly by his agency, unlike Jorge. Mendes and Raiola are legends.

"Hello, Mr. Banetta."

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

Friend peat, you will pay an extra four million pounds for a word?

"Yes, friend." Fang Jue immediately said refreshingly, "9 million pounds!" ”

"Okay, that's the price." Jonathan on the other end of the phone. Barnett smiled and said, "I believe that my face is also influential on Tottenham Hotspur's side, and they will agree to this price." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with." Fang Jue said that he actually wanted to say 9 million pounds just now, which would be paid in installments for three years, but he was afraid that his friend would not have to do it......

Jonathan. Babette sold well at both ends of Bale's transfer matter, relatively speaking, Fang felt that it was cheaper, because Tottenham Hotspur did not seem to plan to sell Bale, or the price would be higher, but Babette agreed to help get it.

Although Barnett helped Fang Jue this time, he didn't thank this person too much, agents like player transfers, they have interests to gain, don't think about how good they are.

And, Jonathan. Barnett's behavior today also made Fang Jue vigilant, this person can pressure Tottenham Hotspur to sell him face today, and other teams will poach Bale in the future, and this person is not a master who keeps to himself.

Let's put it this way, the head coach naturally doesn't have a good impression of the agent.

……

Also, speaking of Gareth. Bell's worth.

Truth be told, Gareth. Bale is indeed talented, but his performance since joining Tottenham Hotspur from Southampton can only be described as average, and a transfer fee of £9 million is indeed not cheap for a 20-year-old player who is still recovering from injury, who has to wait two or three months to play, and who does not know how he will recover.

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

There's only one reason, Gareth. Bale is the Premier League account book!

There has been some news that all Premier League teams will follow the new rules next season, with a cap of 25 first-team players per team.

Among them, there are no more than 17 non-local players, that is, the minimum number of local players is 8, and the explanation for local players in the Premier League is as follows: regardless of the nationality and age of the players. Prior to his 21st birthday, he was registered with either the FA or the Welsh club, whether intermittently or consecutively, for a minimum of 3 years or 36 months.

Youth Training: Refers to a player who has played for the team for 3 seasons (or 36 months) or more before the player is 21 years old

Home Academy: Refers to a player who has played for a club in his home country for 3 seasons (or 36 months) or more before the age of 21

Both of these meet the requirements of the household register.

Bale, who previously played for Tottenham Hotspur first-team and then Southampton first-team for three years, is a fit of the Hukou policy.

With such strict regulations, only the Bundesliga can compare with the top five European leagues. There is no limit to the number of applicants in the Bundesliga, but there must be eight homegrown academy players, at least four of whom are from the team's academy.

Although this policy will not be implemented until next season and the 2010/2011 season, the value of players who now have a Premier League hukou or who will meet the Premier League hukou policy requirements after another season has started to rise.

When Fang Jue first heard about this, he couldn't help but scold, 'Lost Lei's mother', this is almost the same as the domestic real estate developers before selling houses, first speculating that there will be good schools, supermarkets, hospitals, etc. near the community in the future.

So, Gareth. One of the most important considerations in Bale's £9 million transfer price is this Premier League account book.

In addition, when it comes to the Premier League registration rules, among the 25 players who have registered, players under the age of 21 can sign up at will. Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly do not need to be counted in the 25-man squad, which gives a lot of room for veteran players to sign up, but Koulibaly and Sane need to be in the Premier League team for three years before they are 21 years old before they can be considered as Premier League account books after they are over 21 years old.

Of course, the 20-year-old Bale is not included in the 25-man squad.

……

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

For this game, Aston Villa fans, as well as many Premier League fans and even coaches, are particularly concerned.

It was the first truly public official match for Aston Villa under Fang Jue.

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

The four players he brought in from Ibiza, as well as the German international Enke poached from Hannover, and the Swiss defender Senderos who he brought in from Arsenal did not play.

In the first half, Aston Villa were 1-0 down to West Ham United.

Before the start of the second half, Fang Jue made a large number of substitutions, with Deisler, Clemente, Senderos and goalkeeper Enke all on the field.

In the end, he also brought on Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly, as well as reserve squad players Albrighton and Clarke, who had played with the team in Asia, as well as players who played on the bench last season.

In the end, Aston Villa lost 1-2 to West Ham United, and it was Fang Jue's number one big man Deisler who scored for Aston Villa, scoring from a direct free kick.

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

This Aston Villa team played chaotically, substitutions were chaotic, tactics were chaotic, it was a mess.

"We all know that he is one of the most popular young coaches in Europe, he conquered Spanish football, he humiliated Real Madrid and Barcelona, but look at this game. ”

"What do Aston Villa play? We don't see progress, it's even more chaotic than last season's 12 consecutive defeats, people who have played well in Spain, come to England, you need to be humble and learn, the Premier League, it's not that simple, although it's a bit offensive to say that, maybe he will be able to, who knows......

However, we can't rule out the possibility of such a situation, and we will soon be able to hear the Fang-Out shouts at Villa Park Stadium to 'Fang Jue is out of class'......"
