Chapter 779 2011 Summer Transfer ⑥ (Seeking Monthly Ticket Subscription)

The meeting with Davis wasn't too pleasant.

The Aston Villa's main central defender and England international think the club's proposed renewal salary is too low and wants to get more.

Davis' current salary is 35,000 pounds a week, and Aston Villa intends to give him an increase of 10,000 pounds, and Senderos will get 45,000 pounds a week.

Fang Jue feels that Aston Villa's contract renewal price is already more sincere.

However, apparently the players don't see it that way.

"Okay then, the club will talk to your agent." Fang Jue said, "I don't want the renewal of the contract to affect your training and game status."

Davis immediately assured that his professionalism need not be questioned.

"This is the best." Fang Jue nodded.

After leaving the players' room, Fang Jue's expression changed.

He called Cronenberg, the club's chief scout, and asked the scouting team to look for a central defender in the transfer market.

This is not because Fang Jue is determined to give up Davis, but the player's concealment and evasion made him more vigilant.

Moreover, in Fang Jue's view, the weekly salary of 45,000 pounds is already worthy of Davis' contribution. You must know that Senderos is the backbone of Aston Villa's defense, and Senderos is already at 4. The renewal contract with a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds has been signed. Can Davis get more than Senderos?

"John, the boss is looking for me to talk." After Fang Jue left, Davis called his agent, John Carrize.

"Did you do what I said?"

"I said it." Davis was worried, "The boss is not very happy."

"Don't pay attention to him." Kali Ze said, "You are an England international, you are entitled to a higher salary, even the maximum salary in the team is not too much."

"It's impossible. It's impossible for a club to give a defender a maximum salary," Davis said.

"Don't be stupid, look at your teammates in the national team, how much do they get in their respective clubs?" Kalize said.

Davis stopped talking, which is why his agent was able to convince him to "resolutely" demand a high salary from the club.

Within the England national team, everyone has also talked about salary issues.

Everyone was very surprised that Davies only got a weekly salary of 35,000 pounds at Aston Villa.

You know, Ashley Young's weekly salary at Manchester United is 130,000 pounds.

Carrick is on £70,000 a week.

Even the junior Smalling received a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds.

In addition, Gary Cahill, who does not play for the giants but only plays for Bolton, has a weekly salary of 55,000 pounds in Bolton.

Therefore, the agent's suggestion to Davis is to strive for at least a weekly salary of 70,000 pounds.

And just now, the agent even proposed to ask for the club's current maximum salary of 80,000 pounds.

Although Fang Jue's stern face just now made Davis feel a little uneasy, but the big pie drawn by his agent made him unable to refuse the temptation:

You are now an England international central defender and one of the best central defenders in the Premier League. Some teams want you, and Aston Villa must value you.

...

Aston Villa's opponent in the second warm-up match of the International Champions Cup is the Portuguese Super League team Benfica.

Fang Jue tried a new formation in this game.

Danny Rose, Senderos and Kyle Walker form a three-back defense.

Clement and Milner are double midfielders, and in front of them are Bell, Modric and Mane.

Up front is the partner of Suarez and Abanglaho.

In the end, Aston Villa drew 3-3 with Benfica.

On the offensive end, Aston Villa's offensive power is still sharp, but on the defensive end, many problems have been exposed. The three defenders are obviously not suitable for the three central defenders.

In the second half of the game, Coulibaly played and entered the three-back system, and the effect was relatively average.

Fang Jue didn't get angry. The purpose of the warm-up match is to find and solve problems.

It is much better to expose problems at this time than to have problems after the start of the season.

This is not a question of the ability of the players, new tactics need time to adapt.

Aston Villa was the champion of the UEFA Champions League last season. If it is said that Aston Villa has not attracted enough attention from many European giants before, there is a certain sense of mystery.

After the start of the new season, Aston Villa will obviously become the object of research and confrontation by many giants.

Therefore, Fang Jue had to consider setting up several more formations and styles of play for the team, and had different responses to different opponents.

...

Aston Villa moved to New York to prepare for the final game of the International Champions Cup Invitational, their opponent is Serie A giants AC Milan.

The night before the game, the Aston Villa club executives met in the conference room of the hotel where they stayed.

"The situation is like this. Barnett made a salary request that we can't agree to at all." The club's general manager Dadell Byron reported the results of the meeting with Bell's agent Barnett.

Barnett really opened his mouth, and he directly asked Bell to raise his salary to 250,000 pounds.

The general manager of Aston Villa almost turned against Barnett on the spot. This is no longer a lion's big mouth, this is a dinosaur's big mouth.

The current top salary in the Premier League is Manchester United's Wayne Rooney's £200,000, and Barnett's proposed weekly salary of £250,000. Including Manchester City, no Premier League team can offer such a salary.

Currently, the top three weekly wages of Premier League players are:

Wayne Rooney of Manchester United, £200,000.

Yaya Toure of Manchester City, £190,000.

Torres of Chelsea, £175,000.

Barnett is tantamount to directly flying a helicopter to the top.

Barnett's reason is that Bell's performance is worthy of such a Premier League maximum salary.

"Gareth has become the top star in the Premier League, and he is even very likely to win this year's Ballon d'Or."

"The top players deserve the top salaries."

"So, our request is not excessive."

...

Obviously, Aston Villa underestimated Barnett's appetite. Their previous plan was to increase the maximum salary in the team to £100,000 a week, which is a special maximum salary for Bell. There will be one and only Bell in the cheering team who can enjoy the maximum weekly salary of 100,000 pounds.

For the salary structure of other players, Aston Villa Club will still insist on a maximum salary of 80,000 pounds, but so far, only Clement's new contract has been opened to a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds.

Objectively speaking, Aston Villa is willing to increase the team's maximum salary to 100,000 pounds, which has already made Aston Villa surpass Arsenal and become a real Premier League'powerhouse'.

You know, at Arsenal, the maximum salary in the team is 80,000 pounds, and only Van Persie and Cesc Fabregas get a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds.

Then, the third highest salary in the Arsenal team is Russian star Arshavin's weekly salary of 65,000 pounds.

The salaries of other players are not high. For example, Rosicky's weekly salary is only 45,000 pounds.

Arsenal's 'prince' Wilshere only has a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds.

Let's put it this way, after the substantial salary increase within the team, Aston Villa's salary expenditure is already higher than that of Arsenal, and it is second only to Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea in the Premier League, ranking third to Arsenal and Liverpool front.

Fang Jue also couldn't help sighing, this is the price of continuously winning championships and dominating Europe.

...

The contract renewal negotiations with Bell broke up unhappy, and the contract renewal action also reached a deadlock.

Fang Jue is very fortunate now that after Bell broke out in popularity last fall, the team immediately completed the contract extension with Bell.

Now, the Welsh star's contract with Aston Villa is still four years away.

Therefore, although Aston Villa is eager to complete the contract extension with Bell, the initiative is still in the hands of the club and it is not too anxious.

Negotiate, then continue negotiating.

As long as you don't make any fuss and affect the atmosphere and unity in the locker room.

Fang Jue's attitude towards Bell and Davis has not changed much compared to before.

In contract renewal negotiations, players demanded high salaries.

This certainly made him angry.

However, it is human nature to chase money and interests.

As long as the players have a correct attitude in training and competition, Fang Jue will treat them equally.

This also reassures the two players a lot.

Fang Jue's prestige in Aston Villa is too high, even if he is as popular as Bell, he is afraid that Fang Jue will get angry.

...

Aston Villa lost in the last game of the International Champions Cup, they lost 2-3 to their old rivals AC Milan.

Ibrahimovic passed and shot in the game, and the young teenager Al Shalawi scored the lore goal.

Although he lost, Fang Jue was in a good mood.

In this game, he continued to practice the three-back formation, and the team's performance has improved compared to the previous game.

AC Milan's three goals and Shalawi's goal exposed to a certain extent the problem of Aston Villa's protection in front of the defense.

The other two goals, one is a manifestation of Ibrahimovic's personal ability, and the other is a direct free kick by Seedorf.

The players were not particularly responsible for these two conceded goals.

The two goals of Aston Villa are even more beautiful. Both goals are team goals. One is scored by Abanglaho after penetrating the center, and the other is a triangle pass and a turn after pulling the wing. The threat created by the cross.

In addition, in this game, the Belgian teenager De Bruyne staged his debut on behalf of Aston Villa.

Perhaps because of nervousness, De Bruyne's performance was relatively average, and he did not have a very impressive performance.

This also drew ridicule from Tony Parker after the game. On his website, the gentleman sarcastically said that Fang Jue must have misjudged this time.

Tony Parker insisted on fighting Fang Jue unwaveringly, which also made his website a gathering place for many people who dislike Fang Jue. This place is simply the base of "Fang Jue Hei".

However, to Tony Parker's disappointment, Fang Jue ignored him at all.

The rest of the media was also muted.

In a warm-up match, a young player came off the bench for more than 20 minutes, can you see the balls? !

...

Aston Villa's trip to North America.

In addition to participating in the International Champions Cup and earning appearance fees.

Aston Villa Club is also committed to developing the North American market.

However, obviously, compared with last year's trip to Asia, Aston Villa's harvest in North America seems a bit shabby.

Although Aston Villa is expensive as the new European champions, Manchester United is more popular here.

Throughout the trip to North America, Aston Villa only won one sponsorship endorsement, and another one is under negotiation.

What was won was an American sanitary ware brand, and Aston Villa signed a contract with the brand for three years, with an annual price of 8 million US dollars.

Still talking about cooperation with Pepsi, Pepsi wants to become Aston Villa's official beverage endorsement in Asia.

This also shows that the brand side is also very clear that the current Aston Villa's influence in Asia is greater than that in North America:

As a veteran Premier League team, Aston Villa has a fan base in the Asia-Pacific region and Southeast Asia.

And because of Fang Jue, this Premier League champion team is very influential in China.

Aston Villa's Fang Jue is not satisfied with Pepsi's offer.

PepsiCo wants to win Aston Villa's beverage endorsement in Asia with a package price.

Bob Clark, who presided over the negotiations, strongly disagreed. He insisted on separating the Greater China region from other Asian markets, and the prices in the Greater China region should be higher.

"Total Break! Wenger refuses to let Fabregas go to Barcelona! "

Returning to England from North America, Fang Jue saw a good show when he got off the plane. He read the report in the newspaper and clicked his tongue.

This is a copy of The Sun.

Fang Jue didn't like "The Sun".

In his eyes, this media is just a shit-stirring stick, fanning the flames is common, and many discords are caused by such media.

Of course, this does not prevent him from watching the media engage in other teams' affairs as a fair and objective bystander.

According to the "Sun", Fabregas had a complete showdown with Wenger and Arsenal on the first day of Arsenal's training camp for the new season.

"The Sun" sources in Barcelona revealed reliable news that Cesc Fabregas has made a final decision. He is determined to return to the Nou Camp this summer to 'train' him. The Spaniard has officially submitted to the Arsenal club. Make a transfer request.

According to the "Sun", Fabregas first made a verbal application for Wenger to leave the team, but Wenger refused.

Then, Cesc Fabregas directly submitted a written application document requesting a transfer to the club.

"The Sun" revealed that Wenger had previously admitted the failure to retain Cesc Fabregas, he will not prevent Fabregas from moving to Barcelona, ​​but he asked Barcelona to give an offer that matches Fabregas' strength and worth.

Here lies the problem. Fabregas hopes that Arsenal can quickly reach a transfer agreement with Barcelona at a price of 30 million pounds, so that he can follow Barcelona to prepare for the new season with peace of mind after completing the transaction as soon as possible.

"The Sun" even kindly reminded readers to pay special attention to two details here, "quick and safe!"

This is where the problem lies. According to the current market price, Cesc Fabregas is worth about £45 million to £50 million.

This is at least 15 million pounds less!

‘An extra £15m would do a lot for Arsenal. ’——The Sun did not forget to tease Arsenal.

The Catalan media "Mundo Deportivo" paid close attention to this matter. The newspaper expressed surprise. They felt that the offer of 30 million pounds should make Wenger smile happily. What an excitement, this time it turned out to be so loud.

According to the exaggerated statement of "Aspen", the professor even directly said to Barcelona, ​​"If you have no money, get out."

Fang Jue pursed his mouth and almost screamed out of laughter, he knew the reason.

Fang Jue was showing off with Wenger at the time, and the professor was envious, but he didn't expect that the "retribution" would be on Fabregas' transfer to Barcelona in this transfer soap opera.

At this moment, the club's general manager, Dadell Byron, knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, what are you looking at? So happy." Byron asked.

"Look at the show." Fang Jue said happily.

"Now it's time for others to watch our show, boss." Byron's expression became serious, and he handed the documents in his hand to Fang Jue, "These are two price inquiry letters just received by the club."
