Meltdown (N.H)

11

The second half of the match started, I observed all the players, in case there was someone else that was interesting.

Turns out Tomlinson is for sure too good to be playing in the league he is in.

After a great pass from Tomlinson, Doncaster Rovers scored their first goal.

"Yes!" I said.

"Good one." Niall said.

"Really good." I replied.

"Half of the goal at least is Tomlinson's." Niall said.

"Definitely." I agreed.

After the goal, the crowd started shouting "Tomlinson, Tomlinson...!" Clapping and celebrating.

"Who's gonna tell them." Niall whispered.

I laughed softly. "I'm just telling Mr Blunt." I said.

"I am doing that." Niall replied.

"No, you already failed the first time. My turn." I said.

"No." He disagreed.

"Yes."

"No."

"Horan, don't start." I said.

He rolled his eyes and focused on the match again.

The match ended 2-0 for Doncaster Rovers. Niall and I clapped, we were happy about it.

Not for Doncaster, but because that meant everything was going according to plan.

We went back to the vip room, hoping to find Mr Blunt there. And there he was.

"Leave this one to me, just agree with what I say." I told Niall.

"Okay, but don't mess up." He said, not very happy.

"I won't. How much can we offer?" I asked him.

"Not more than five million. His market value is 3 million right now." He answered.

"Fine, is three a good price then?" I said.

"Of course, but they are going to ask for a bit more." Niall said and let out a small laugh.

"I know, just making sure." I told him.

"That's why I said not more than five. If it's five or less, it's good." Niall explained.

"How much did you offer last time?" I asked.

"Three." He answered.

"Directly?" I asked.

"Yeah, that's why I know they want more than three." Niall laughed softly.

"Oh, you are so smart." I told him with sarcasm.

"Thank you sweetheart." He replied with the same sarcasm.

"Let's go." I rolled my eyes.

I approached Mr Blunt and Niall followed me.

"Oh, Everton guys! What a win!" Mr Blunt exclaimed when we arrived.

"Definitely, congratulations to all of you. Deserved win." I said with a smile.

Niall just smiled and nodded in agreement.

"What do you think about Tomlinson?" Mr Blunt asked us.

"We are still really interested, he is really good." I answered.

"He is in fact, you have a good eye. We will have a full conversation though, he is our best player." Mr Blunt told us.

"Of course, we fully understand. We are going to be here tomorrow as well, we can have dinner tonight or lunch tomorrow." I suggested.
