Chapter Eighty-Four: The Cat That Smelled Fishy

Blackburn Rovers have made an offer for Luton!

Just after Luton defeated Accrington, Gao Bo received a fax from the staff.

"A million pounds?" Gao Bo slammed the fax on the table, "They really dare to shout." ”

"To reply to them, Charlie Austin is only 19 years old, and he has already scored 26 goals in the second division, which is now the second highest scorer in the league, and he is also eight goals ahead of third place! He is the future of Luton and is not for sale in Luton!! ”

The staff quickly went back and replied according to Gao Bo's meaning.

In fact, having said so much, what "second scorer in the league", what "Luton's future", what "not for sale"!

From beginning to end, Gao Bo just expressed such a meaning, you this quote.... Far from enough!

Gao Bo vaguely remembers that although the era of large expansion of transfer fees is far from coming, the transfer fees at this time have risen a lot compared with a few years ago.

Manchester United spent 10 million to buy Smalling, I, Charlie Austin, and a young striker with a lot of goals, although I played in the second division, but how can I match this price, right?

Gao Bo decided to make Charlie Austin perform a little better!

"Shoot when you get your chance! Do you understand? Charlie!! ”

On 25 February, Luton Town played Dagenham away, and before the game began, Gao Bo put his arm around Charlie's explanation.

"You don't have to come back and be involved in the defense, you are in the front court and involved in the attack!! Let's make the most of your talents!! Gao Bo patted Charlie on the shoulder and encouraged.

Charlie Austin is also full of confidence after two games! He nodded repeatedly: "I understand, boss!" ”

Dagenham are now in the middle of the league, with 47 points and 12th in the league, with no worries about relegation and promotion.

However, they also showed a great desire to pick up points when they played at home, at least they didn't want to lose.

To deal with Luton, Dagenham set up a bucket formation at home, leaving a striker in front of them for a harassing counter-attack, while putting nine players at the back to defend.

The home fans were not satisfied with what the team was doing – it was against Luton Town, the strongest team in the second division this season.

Despite Dagenham's efforts to get a point at home, their resistance lasted only until the 43rd minute.

Charlie Austin received a cross from Jamie Vardy, who was pulled down the left and leapt high in the middle of the box to head the ball into the back of the net.

Charlie Austin's heading skills are already good, and with the addition of cards, he has reached the height of a first-class player in heading, in fact, if it were not limited by height, Charlie Austin would be even more powerful in heading.

Dagenham defended for more than 40 minutes and basically gave up on attack, but just as they could go into halftime with a 0-0 scoreline, Charlie Austin's side made them surrender completely.

Before the end of the first half, Luton Town finally scored again in the first minute of stoppage time.

It wasn't Charlie Austin's goal this time, but it had something to do with him. Charlie Austin's shot from inside the box was deflected by the goalkeeper and landed right at the feet of Jamie Vardy.

Although Gobo said that Vardy should help Charlie Austin score as much as possible, Vardy was not polite when faced with such an empty goal, he raised his foot and pushed the ball into the net.

Before the end of the first half, Luton Town scored two goals in three minutes to extend the score to 2-0!

In the second half, Dagenham, who were two goals down, simply pressed out, and they changed two strikers to prepare to attack at home. After all, two goals behind, if you want to equalize, you have to continue to attack.

However, in this way, the game fell perfectly into the rhythm that Luton liked. Luton can comfortably defend and play on the counter-attack.

In the 67th minute of the game, the third goal arrived.

Another counterattack!!

Drinkwater's long pass hit the opponent's back, and Vardy took a few steps past the opposition's defence and made a single stroke of the ball!

In the past, Charlie Austin couldn't keep up with the pace of Vardy's attack, because he was much slower than Vardy, but now with the increase of cards, Charlie Austin stepped forward at high speed, and Vardy didn't look as fast as him.

Vardy gets the ball back in front of the goalkeeper and Charlie Austin gets it on again!

After 3-0, Dagenham's morale was demoralized, and their manager wanted the team to continue to muster up the courage to attack, but the players no longer had that spirit.

In the 82nd minute, Jamie Vardy was brought to the ground in the box and the referee awarded a penalty.

In the past, Luton's penalties were taken by captain Kevin Keane or Jamie Vardy, but today the penalty taker was changed to Charlie Austin!

Charlie Austin stood in front of the penalty spot and smashed the ball into the net!

Hat trick!!

Gao Bo applauded on the sidelines, with a smile on his face, while John and the others in the coach's seat were full of shock.... Is this still the Charlie they know? He's amazing!

The English media are always aware of everything, and in the post-match press conference, some media asked about Blackburn's offer for Charlie Austin.

This time, Gao Bo did not brush his sleeves away, nor did he avoid answering.

'Charlie is an important member of our team, he's only 19 years old, he's the future of our team, Luton won't sell his future, he's not for sale!!' Gao Bo said seriously.

But none of the reporters in the audience are human spirits, from Gao Bo's words, they immediately heard Gao Bo's extraneous voice!

Charlie Austen will be a sale item on the shelves in Luton, and the so-called "not for sale" nonsense is all about raising the price!

By the time the team returned to Luton Town from the away side, Gobo received a second fax from Blackburn.

1,250,000 ......

Gao Bo pouted: "This family doesn't need to reply!" ”

A team like Blackburn deserves to decline in the future, it's too petty.

And Gao Bo's words at the post-match press conference quickly made the teams in England's leagues at all levels hear!

The next day, Luton Town received several offers for Championship and Premier League teams!

"Now the highest offer is... Chelsea, they want to take Charlie Austin for three million pounds. A staff member in charge of the team's transfer reports to Gao Bo's office.

Gao Bo flipped through several quotes.

Everton's Two Million List....

Arsenal's 2.2 million list...

Although the summer transfer window has not yet begun, it seems that these teams have already targeted Luton, and Gao Bo has revealed a little bit of tone, and they pounced.

In addition to Charlie Austin, there are also quite a few offers from the likes of Vardy, N'Golo Kante, Adam and others.

These Premier League teams are completely looking at Luton as a supermarket for players.

"Ignore other people's offers, and reply to Charlie's quotations in a unified manner, this is our non-sale!" Gao Bo said.

Other people's offers have been in vain, and there has been a response to Charlie Austen's.

These teams quickly know what Luton mean, others don't have to talk, Charlie Austin can talk...

The Premier League teams soon pounced like cats that smelled fish!
