Chapter 15: Winter Transfers (Part I)

It's been almost 2 weeks since Michu's chief scout set off, and I don't know what the reason is, Michu hasn't known how Bob and the others are progressing.

Due to the delay in getting the news, Michu seemed very anxious.

After all, after so many days of contact, Michu already knows the team's situation better, although on the surface it seems that the team's current situation is not bad, but with the deepening of the schedule, the competition will become more and more fierce, especially the strength of the teams that have the strength to impact the Championship is almost between the two!

If Leeds are not well prepared, Michu is afraid that his team will fall out of the first group! Therefore, the addition of fresh blood will be very helpful to the change of your team's tactics! After all, the current team's lineup is still not enough to support the follow-up schedule in Michu's opinion!

Just as Mi Chu was anxiously circling around the office, the phone next to Mi Chu rang,

"Is it Bob? You're going to kill me, quick, quick, quick, tell me, how is it, isn't the player very good? Why hasn't there been news for so long! ”

Bob's hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone,

"Boss, because the time is too tight, we only watched two games of these two people in total, Reus played most of the time as a winger, his explosiveness, speed, flexibility, footwork, and technique are far higher than the ordinary level, it is a tricky trouble for the opponent, and it is a good seedling from the performance of a game! As for the other one..."

"Don't sell it, tell him how he is!" Michu urged like a duck.

"Muller's basic skills are relatively solid, but it seems that except for the good running position, other abilities are very average, and I can't see anything outstanding about him in a limited game!" Mi Chu laughed in his heart, that's right, if you scouts can see it, it's your turn to sign this future superstar!

Seeing that Michu didn't speak, Bob continued, "Boss, how do you know the two of them, one is in Westphalia and the other is in Munich, even if these two people are well-known locally, but how did you know the two of them from this distance of thousands of miles?" ”

Hearing Bob finally express his inner doubts, Mi Chu smiled slyly on the other end of the phone, and deliberately sold a pass, "I'll tell you when you return to the team, your top priority now is to do your best to collect the data of the two of them, sort out the report and send it back to the team as soon as possible, without my approval, don't contact the other party first, pay attention to learn more about the other party's family and other details, just say so, I want to report quickly!" In the end, Mi Chu didn't forget to urge the other party!

Mi Chu, who hung up the phone, secretly decided in his heart that he must sign these two treasures before this transfer window closes!

But Michu knew that if he wanted to sign these two people, he would definitely need to get Bates' approval, after all, the team is not doing well now, and it will be difficult for Bates to come up with a large amount of money to strengthen the team. In addition, after all, the two children under the age of twenty are signed by me, although I know their value, how can I convince the other party to believe in me?!

Mi Chu thought about it, it seems that there is only one way! Knowing that the boss is more stingy, Mi Chu feels that only his own method can deal with the other party!

Michu booked a meeting for the next day through Bates's personal secretary, thinking that as the head coach of the team, he even had to make an appointment in advance to meet his own chairman, Michu felt a little unhappy in his heart!

The meeting place was at Bates' company in Leeds city centre, and although Bates also had his own office at the training centre, he rarely went and spent most of his time in his own company.

When Michu was ushered into the office, Bates was discussing matters with his assistant, and when he saw Michu come in, he hurriedly motioned for his assistant to leave.

"My good coach, is there anything I need help with?" Bates greeted cordially, and picked up a bottle of red wine on the display table next to him.

"No, no, no, Mr. President, I haven't gotten into the habit of drinking during the day!" Seeing this, Mi Chu hurriedly waved his hand and said, and Bates no longer insisted on it, but added a glass for himself.

"Tell me, coach, is it about the team?" The news is really well-informed, it seems that Michu decided to see the door.

"Boss, do you remember the last time I told you about the winter reinforcements?" Seeing Bates drinking silently, Michu just didn't see it and continued.

"I've looked at two candidates, and I hope to get your approval to sign them as soon as possible, you know, although the situation of the team is improving right now, but I'm worried that the squad is too thin and will drag down our sprint in the second half of the race..."

"You know, the team's finances are not enough to support our big squad changes, and the team's expenses are also huge!" As Michu expected,

"Boss, I hope to sign these two on a rent-to-buy basis, but the specific contract has to be agreed by both parties, I am very confident in their strength, if the recruitment fails, I am willing to be punished, if you feel that the team is really not financially enough, I can no longer receive my salary before the end of the season as a support for the team and show my love for the team!"

Looking at Bates's surprised expression, Michu knew that his wishful thinking had been completed, once Bates decided to stop paying his salary, then everyone would know what a stingy person he was, and it was definitely not a good thing for the reputation of the team, Bates's own reputation, and his own business! Mi Chu is betting that his salary is definitely not as important as the other party's reputation!

Sure enough, Bates hurriedly said anxiously when he heard it,

"My coach, you take so much trouble thinking about the team, why am I embarrassed to let you work for free?!"

Michu was silent, and Bates paused and continued, "But then again, how can you have such confidence in these two people, after all, they are just children!" ”

After hearing this, Mi Chu said unhurriedly, "Boss, have you forgotten that what we were most proud of in the past was our youth training?" Based on feedback from the scouts, and what I know about the young players, they are definitely the most valuable investment we have for the future! I can vouch for it with my salary and bonus! ”

"Look at you, don't keep raising your salary! As long as it's for the good of the team, everything is negotiable! The rent-to-own way, right? And also a youth player. If these two players are really as good as you say, many teams will definitely break their heads, and the other side will definitely ask for a sky-high price! ”

This old man is not only a miser, but also a chatter! Where did it come from, so many whys!

"I'm sure the team's marketing director will do a great job of doing this! So far, Mr. President, I think we are the only ones who recognize their value, so I hope you will make this investment as soon as possible! You don't want us to lose our work in the final stage! Michu said anxiously.

Bates silently drank the glass of red wine, and after a while replied, "Then you will collect and sort out the player's information, and you will do as you wish!" The team is going to make an offer for these two, so can you have a drink now? Michu looked at the wine glass in the other party's hand,

"Boss, keep this wine for my celebration bar at the end of the season!" Michu happily left Bates' office, and the result was not bad! Although there is a feeling of being ruined, I have achieved my goal after all!

Then it was the routine formalities, and Michu immediately contacted Poyet to inform him that the plan was complete! Just wait for the scout to send back the report, and you can officially initiate an offer!

As soon as Michu arrived at the base, he was informed that the team's scouts had sent back a report! The team's head of operations is preparing a contract!

It seems that the efficiency of the British is really not blown, this speed is shocking! The things that he only decided in the morning, this has already begun to be prepared, and Mi Chu couldn't help but sigh for a while!

After a while, the team's head of operations brought the draft quotation to Michu for review.

"Such a low offer?! Royce is only £500,000?! Mueller is on loan ?! And only pay 70% of the salary?! Do you know what these two people mean to the team?! "This offer is too insincere, it is clear that it is a pit to come by itself, seeing that the other party is silent, Mi Chu held back his anger and said,

"Royce's offer must be raised! Mueller is going to pay the full salary, with a buyout clause! You can negotiate the exact amount with the other party, but remember! Don't mess it up! ”“

Mi Chu, this offer has been approved by the boss, I need to ask for instructions again! ”

"Then you should hurry up and ask for instructions." Mi Chu was already a little tired of the other party's official style, and said urgically, "You have to tell Mr. Chairman that Royce's offer must be raised a little more!" And Muller, I also need to give the other party a more sincere offer! ”

"Then I'll do what you asked me to do now," Michu watched as the other party left the office. I have already made such a big concession in exchange for this level of transfer budget! It's really a man's meal and being managed by others!
