As we all know Jeremy Kelly is a Free Agent! We have had a few recently such as Jordon Mutch, Grant etc etc but none I think which we want to sign up more so on a full time basis! According to the USA Soccer Player Value Sites he was Worth Half a Million Dollars when he signed for us as he was 9th Overall on the 2020 USA College Draft Pick! He aint gonna be cheap even if he decides he would like to change from Free Agent Status!
Can we afford him? Should we pay the Big Bucks for him? Should we offer him another Short Term Free Agent Contract Next Season?
I think his performance on Saturday suggested to me that trying to sign him longer term would be a good idea. No disrespect to Ade but Kelly was the motm for me.

Yes, but let me pretend to be his AGENT below and see if we can afford him after what his agent says to CTFC / Scott / Wagmi at the end of season:-
1/ Jeremy was the USA 9th Overall MLS College Pick in 2020 out of 330 million people. 2/ Jeremy was Valued at $500,000 before he signed for you. 3/ The day before Jeremy's 1st Start for Crawley on the 13th Feb 2024 , Crawley were in ''15th'' Position in the League Two Table. 4/ Every Time Jeremy Started for Crawley (13 times), Crawley Achieved Nearly 2 Points Per Game. 5/ He was also influencial as a sub on a couple of occasions. 6/ He was a Clear MOM on 2 of his starts. 7/ 0n 27th April 2024 Crawley Achieved 7th Place in League Two and Made the Play-Offs.
After all that above from his Agent - can we still afford him ??
I think you need to stop giving his agent ideas! 🙂 He’s rubbish really, not worth that valuation, we hardly did anything while he was on the pitch… :-)

Agreed - if his agent’s reading this, Jezza is absolute toilet, we only need him to make up the numbers in the squad and to save printing costs on shirts by having 2 Kellys in the squad. He wouldn’t get in anyone else’s team, so may as well stay with us.
He has progressed and added to the team since he’s been here. As long as him and his agent will accept a sensible offer surely it’s a no brainer to offer him a contract.

Out of 330 million? What planet are you on, that's the total population of the USA, only 77 players were drafted in the 2020 draft.

Talking of planets, if you think about it, by his logic, Jeremy was the 9th overall MLS College Pick out of over 8 billion people on the planet. Not bad!
I prefer agents to C57! Seriously, agents are OK if they are paid by the player, NOT THE CLUB imho.
Agreed. They work for the player and therefore should be paid by them by some kind of commission/fee The payment should not be paid by the club.
It actually is not that much different to Companies using recruitment agencies but just alot more expensive it would seem. Can't see this situation changing anytime soon unfortunately 😕.
Seriously though, agents do play a valid role. Many players won't be clued up on how to negotiate a good deal for themselves, because it's not just about wages.
