278 Agent Part 1

George Wood's value of "two trillion" was only a way to indicate that Wood was not for sale. While Wood himself may never be able to reach such a status in his lifetime, it clarified his current position in the team from another angle. Chelsea's reported offer of ten million for the rookie player caused some to see an opportunity for profit.

Before George Wood became famous, other than the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) kindly asking him if he needed them to represent him for a variety of his contractual discussions, no other professional agent had approached him. With the world soccer scene constantly producing innumerable new professional footballers, there would not be enough agents to go around if every player was approached.
