Chapter 90: New Recruits

Hydward finally sent Chen Xi back, and the two of them are still in the run-in period of their relationship, so naturally it is not easy to do too much, but someone who took advantage of it was smiling all day the next day.

"Ward, this is a contract that has been drafted in the last two days, and I have also sent a copy to the player, if you think it is right, you can announce it to the public."

Tom put a few papers in Hydward's office, and it was too big to see it, but he still found that the column where the manager signed it was his name.

After the team's owner Antonov returned, assistant coach Walker briefly managed for a few days, but as soon as Ward returned, he handed over all the ownership and there was no contradiction, which once moved Ward very much. Walker has been with the club for over 15 years and has not left the club since retiring, putting all his passion and youth on the pitch.

"I have to say thank you to him personally, and I will have to rely on him in the future."

Tom smiled, "Okay, but you still have to get the certificate as soon as possible, it's hard to explain it to the FA for so long." ”

It's like this everywhere in the world, there are people above who are easy to talk to, the lord has been in the Premier League for decades, and his face is easy to talk anywhere, but he inherits the old man's love, and he still won't be merciful where he should do it.

Hydward took a brief look at the top of the Margery, because it was a contract that had just been signed, the salary remained the same but the liquidated damages clause was added. Then there's Pierce, the standard veteran contract, signed for two years, and at the age of 35, he will change careers to become a coach, and the club will arrange for him to train this year.

Further down is the report from France that Mane has signed a three-year contract with the club, although his contract is still very problematic. The FA has a significant restriction on non-EU members coming to play in the English league, known as the labour certification system.

Unlike the previous system, after the England national team defeated South Africa in 2010, it introduced a new policy to try to develop new talents, and the labor certification system will be more stringent than the previous application requirements. They require non-EU members to come to England and the FIFA ranking of their national teams must be within 75, which was revised to 50 last year. Players must also meet the following requirements:

1. If the national team has been ranked 1-10 on average in the past 2 years, then at least 30% of the games have been played;

2. If the national team has averaged 11-20 in the past 2 years, then at least 45% of the games have been played;

3. If the national team has been ranked 21-30 on average in the past 2 years, then at least 60% of the games have been played;

4. If the national team has averaged 31-50 in the last 2 years, then at least 75% of the games have been played.

Senegal's FIFA ranking is not a problem, it is certainly in the top 50, but according to the historical trend, Mane was selected for the Under-23 national team for the first time in 2012 because of his good performance at the club, and it is almost impossible to obtain a labor certification through the normal route.

Then the second way left is only the "special genius clause".

After the first mandatory refusal of a labour licence, the club can appeal the player, which will be judged by a panel of FA and league committee members, and if it is determined that "the introduction of the player will make the league better", then a labour licence will be issued.

This system has become more and more demanding with the failure of the national team, and the days of hearings for a simple manager to prove it are gradually gone, but it is still necessary to find it for Mane.

Frank faxed that he needed to be prepared for three appeals, at least for a while. It is possible that they will not be able to play after the start of the next round of the league, and we will have to hope that the FA will be more efficient. Frank advised Portsmouth to be prepared to go out on loan if that didn't work out.

There was some good news compared to the troublesome Mane, and Frank lived up to his expectations and found Ngolo at Boulogne FC in Ligue 2. N'Golo Kante, the future Premier League steal king!

The club is not having a good time either, halfway through the season, but they are 16 points clear of the relegation safety zone and are bottom of the table, and Kante, who has just turned 20, is clearly an overage player who has mixed in with Mane's youth team.

Kante has dual Malian and French citizenship, which is much easier for him than Mane, and an EU ID card is worth at least 10 million euros.

Of course, it was not as simple as finding it, Frank unilaterally terminated the cheap apprenticeship contract and sent Kante to Portsmouth, accompanied by Mane, and the Eintracht Frankfurt flight was due in the afternoon.

Hydward has big plans in France, and the country will enter a talent blowout period in the next five years or so, with a large number of high-quality demons growing the entire Ligue 1 league, which is a golden period that cannot be missed.

The last of the thick stack belonged to a striker, Jamie. Jamie Vardy, who was contacted two months ago, was the first to finalise his contract. Playing for the town of Haliface in the Northern League of England, Adedy had no idea that one day he would be favoured by a historic Championship side, scoring a staggering 26 goals in the next 14 games to make history for the amateur club.

He's been making history since the beginning and it's clear that Vardy is ready to come to the Championship with his fine form.

"They're all coming to the club in the afternoon, you get ready, Ward, I've arranged for the local media." Tom said after seeing Hydward go through all five contracts.

"Actually, there should be six, I am planning to go to a place with Frank in France, Le Havre and Boulogne, one in the east and the other in the west, which is very far apart, but I have returned to China temporarily, so I have to trouble him to make an extra trip."

Tom glanced curiously and asked suspiciously, "And?" Are you so sure? ”

"It's all newcomers who haven't even played in the first team, so it's going to be easy and there's almost no chance of failure. They are all about 20 years old, and they have long proven that they are not peerless geniuses. It's just people who are struggling to survive. ”

'I'm worried about the experience of the team, they're too young and Ward you have to take that into account, one Pierce is not enough.

Hydward's brow furrowed deeply, and what Tom said was exactly what he feared. However, he quickly adjusted his mood and said in a witty way: "I'm going to Barcelona and poach Messi!" This way there is no need to worry about experience, he can solve all problems. ”

Tom paused for a moment, and the next second his eyes could almost eat people, "Messi? Hehe, you're going to go again, you're the head coach, not a scout, OK?"

He continued, almost in a roaring manner: "Did you know that Antonov left England yesterday, do you know?" Our acquisition is 80% complete, damn it, you are not allowed to go anywhere, Messi, don't dream! ”

Hydward could clearly see that Tom was on fire, but he was just a manager. He turned on his mobile phone and dialed Chen Xi's number: "Wife, help me arrange a physical examination, there will be players who will go to the hospital at about five o'clock in the afternoon." ”
