Chapter 72: Signing
David had made his decision. Zoey and Jason who even though didn’t know the specifics of what he was advising, were right. He would be a fool to turn this opportunity down. He was playing football for himself, and this was the chance of a lifetime—playing for the biggest team in England. The excitement hit him like a wave, and he couldn’t contain it. He grabbed the business card he had thrown away earlier, picked up the phone, and dialed the number.
"Hello?" Jonathan’s voice came through the line.
Before David could speak, Jonathan quickly added, "If this is the loan company, I’m telling you guys, I’ll pay you soon. Just wait."
David chuckled. "Nah, it’s David Jones, not the loan company."
There was silence on the other end for a moment. Then Jonathan’s familiar laugh broke the quiet. "Ha ha, just messing with you, kid. I knew it was you. How’ve you been?"
David’s response was simple but truthful. "Sure."
"Well, anyway," David continued, "about the Manchester United deal, I want to take it."
Jonathan laughed again. "I knew you would, kid. You strike me as the ambitious type. But first, we need to get you to sign with me as your agent."
David’s expression hardened. "I agreed to join Manchester United, but I didn’t agree to sign you as my agent."
