I was offered a contract today. I haven’t signed it yet and I’m incredibly
scared of the offer going away for some reason so I won’t mention the team just
yet. However I’m traveling tomorrow to
go sign the contract so I should be able to let you guys know soon enough. The contract is for a net sum of
$1500/month. Of course I won’t be paid
in US dollars but that’s the equivalent amount.
I will also be given an apartment, so my only real expense will be
food. Maybe I can work out a deal with a
restaurant once I arrive.
This offer means that my time in Enkoping is definitely
over. I pretty much knew that before,
but it’s kind of hitting me now. While I
wasn’t in Enkoping for long, I did make a few pretty good friends and I will
miss them. I will see them in the
future, but it’s a bit weird to know that some of the other guys I will never
see again. The same way there are plenty
of guys from my Harrisburg and Crystal Palace Baltimore teams that I will never
see again. I guess it’s just part of the
job. My teammates are really just
co-workers, and if one of us changes jobs then that’s it. We just go our separate ways. It’s a part of this life and I just have to
accept it.
I can’t say I’m too sad though. I’m going to a good opportunity and success
at this club could mean really big things for my career. I expect that I will have success, but then
again I would expect that even if I was going to La Liga or the Bundesliga; I
have a confidence that can never be destroyed.
It wavers sometimes, but nothing/no one will ever take my
self-confidence. That will never happen.
That’s enough with the mystery. I’ll be traveling tomorrow but maybe I can
get a post up in a few days once I’ve sorted everything. Please send happy thoughts my way, because if
this offer comes off the table between now and the time I can sign it then I
will be really down in the dumps. I wish
I could sign the contract right now, but it will have to wait at least until
tomorrow afternoon. As soon as I get to
the new club I will try to sign the contract before they realize I’m not any
good! Haha the reveal of the team is
coming in the next post!
And last but not least, today’s meme. It's actually a photobomb, but it sums up how I feel right now. No need to dwell on the semantics.
