Chapter 772： 2011 Summer Transfer ⑥

The meeting with Davis was not very pleasant.

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

Davis’s current salary is 35,000 pounds a week, and Aston Villa intends to increase him by 10,000, which is the same as Senderos’s 45,000 pounds a week.

Fang Jue feels that Aston Villa’s renewal price is more sincere.

However, obviously players don't think so.

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

Davis immediately assured that his professionalism does not need to be questioned.

"This is best." Fang Jue nodded.

Leaving from the player's room, Fang Jue's face changed.

He called the club's chief scout Kronberg and asked the scout team to find a central defender in the transfer market.

It's not that Fang Jue is determined to give up Davis, but the player's cover-up and evasiveness made him more vigilant.

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

"John, the boss asked me to talk." After Fang Jue left, Davis dialed his agent, John Carrize.

"Have you said what I said?"

"Say it." Davis was anxious, "The boss is not too happy."

"Don't bother him." Carrizer said, "You are an England international and you are eligible for a higher salary, even if it is the maximum salary in the team."

"This is impossible. It is impossible for the club to give a maximum salary to a defender." Davis said.

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

Davis stopped talking, which is why his agent was able to persuade him to ‘resolutely’ asking for a high salary from the club.

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

Everyone was very surprised that Davis received only £35,000 a week at Aston Villa.

You know, Ashley Young has a £130,000 weekly salary at Manchester United.

Carrick is 70,000 pounds a week.

Even Smalling, a junior, got a weekly salary of £50,000.

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

Therefore, the agent's advice to Davis is to get at least 70,000 pounds a week's salary.

Just now, the agent even asked for the current maximum salary of the 80,000 pounds club.

Although Fang Jue's stern face made Davis a little nervous, but the 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 of the 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 Ross, Senderos and Kyle Walker formed the defense of three central defenders.

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

On the front line is Suarez and Abangrajo's partner.

In the end, Aston Villa drew with Benfica three to three.

On the offensive end, Aston Villa's offensive power is still sharp, but on the defensive end, a lot of problems have been exposed. The three guards are obviously not comfortable with the play of the three central defenders.

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

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

The problem is exposed at this time, and it is better than the problem after the start of the season.

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

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

After the start of the new season, Aston Villa will obviously become a target for many giants to study and deal with.

Therefore, Fang Jue had to consider setting up a few more formations and styles for the team to deal with different opponents in different ways.

……

Aston Villa moved to New York to prepare for the final match of the International Champions Cup Invitational. Their opponent is Serie A giants Juventus.

The night before the game, the Aston Villa executives had a meeting in the conference room of their hotel.

"This is the situation. Barnett made a salary requirement that we could not agree to." Club general manager Dadell Byron reported the results of the meeting with Bell's agent Barnett.

Barnett really opened his mouth, and he directly asked for a salary increase of 250,000 pounds to Bell.

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

The current Premier League’s maximum salary is Manchester United’s Rooney’s 200,000 pounds, and Barnett’s proposed weekly salary of 250,000 pounds. So far, whether it is the old giants Manchester United or the first generation of Chelsea, it is not bad for money. No Premier League team, including Manchester City, can offer such a salary.

Currently, the top three Premier League players' weekly salary are:

Rooney of Manchester United, £200,000.

Yaya Touré from Manchester City, £190,000.

Torres of Chelsea, £175,000.

Barnett, this is equivalent to driving the helicopter directly.

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

"Gareth has become the top star of the Premier League, and he is even more likely to win this year's Golden Globe."

"The top players deserve the top salary."

"So, our request is not excessive."

……

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

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

Objectively speaking, Aston Villa is willing to increase the team's maximum salary to 100,000 pounds, which has enabled Aston Villa to surpass Arsenal and become the real Premier League ‘powerful’.

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

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

The salaries of other players are not high. For example, Rosicky only has a weekly salary of 45,000 pounds.

Arsenal’s ‘Prince Prince’ Wilshere only has a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds.

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

Fang Jue also couldn't help sighing. This is the price of winning the championship and dominating Europe.

……

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

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

Now, the contract between the Welsh star and Aston Villa will expire in four years.

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 to negotiate.

As long as you don't make any noises that affect the atmosphere and unity of the dressing room.

Fang Jue’s attitude towards Bell and Davis has not changed much from before.

Renewal negotiations, players demand high salaries.

This certainly makes him hot.

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

As long as the players have a correct attitude in training and games, Fang Jue will treat them equally This also makes the two players feel at ease.

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

……

Aston Villa lost in the final game of the International Champions Cup. They lost two to three to their old rival AC Milan.

Ibrahimovic scored twice in the game, and the young teenager Al Shahavi scored the lore goal.

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

In this game, he continued to rehearse the three-back formation, and the team's performance was better than the previous game.

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

The other two goals, one is the embodiment of Ibrahimovic's personal ability, the other is Seedorf's direct free kick.

These two lost goals, the players are not particularly responsible.

The two goals of Aston Villa are even more beautiful. Both goals are team goals. One is a goal by Abang Raho after penetration in the center, and the other is a triangle pass and a turnaround after the wing is opened. The threat created by the pass.

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

Perhaps because of nervousness, De Bruyne's performance is relatively average, not very impressive.

This also attracted Tony Parker's ridicule after the game. On his website, this gentleman sarcastically said that Fang Jue must have missed it this time.

Tony Parker insisted on fighting Fang Jue unshakably, which also made his website a lot of
