PS2: I'm going to contact the editor today, and I'm trying to change the cover as soon as possible, and now this looks really disturbing......

Spurs must be knocked this transfer!" Brooking thought as he tentatively made an offer: "Fifteen million pounds! For fifteen million pounds, George you can bring Michael to White Hart Lane!"

Hey, Brooking, why does your sentence sound so much like the salesmen in his previous life? Although Brooking, who knew in his heart that he was not a time-traveler, could not have known the famous advertising phrase in his previous life, George still felt that his stomach was full of grooves and wanted to vomit.

"Mr. Brooking, I'm afraid I can't accept this price. George knew in his heart that the £15 million price tag wasn't expensive for a young player like Carrick who had already proven himself and had a bonus to his book. You know, when Rio Ferdinand moved from West Ham United to Leeds United in 2000, he was worth £18 million, breaking the record for transfer fees for an English player and becoming the most expensive defender in the world at the time, while Frank Lampard spent Ranieri a full £11 million transfer budget when he joined Chelsea two years ago.

As the younger brother of Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard at West Ham United, Carrick is not as well-known as his two brothers in terms of development prospects and popularity in the eyes of experts, but with the ability he has shown on the pitch, it is not a problem to sell for tens of millions of pounds.

However, since it is a player trade, the bargaining work is naturally to be done. Otherwise, others are likely to regard themselves as wronged people who don't understand the market, which will bring more trouble to Tottenham's future recruitment work. What's more, George, who has memories of his previous life, knows very well that although this group of West Ham United players is indeed full of potential, and Carrick is the most accomplished of these people, the Hammers have not been able to recover much transfer fees in the transactions of these players - in the previous life, West Ham United only got a total of about 40 million pounds in the transfer market when they were relegated in 03, and the transfer fee was only 11 million pounds higher than Ferdinand and Lampard combined!

At that time, even Joe Cole, who was more famous than Carrick and had more promising development prospects, was only worth £6.6 million when he transferred to Chelsea from West Ham United in his previous life. Therefore, George feels that there is considerable bargaining room in Carrick's transfer, and there is no reason to spend so much pound at all.

In the final analysis, it was West Ham's surprise relegation - if it weren't for the Hammers' surprise relegation last season, the players in the team would not have been in a hurry to leave Upton, and there would not have been so many teams who wanted to take advantage of the situation, and West Ham would not have had to reluctantly sell these high-quality resources in their hands for cabbage prices.

"Oh, George, you know, I'm giving you a very conscientious price. Seeing that George did not agree to his offer of 15 million pounds, Brooking's face showed an extremely unhappy expression, "You know, a playmaker like Michael is very rare in the current Premier League. Not to mention, Michael has already proven in action that he can adapt to the pace of the Premier League game. A player like this, even if you look for it in other leagues, I'm afraid it's hard to find such a suitable candidate. If nothing else, isn't Veron, who used to play under you, the best example of this?"

If George wanted to buy other players, then Brooking really wouldn't dare to bargain with the other side so hard. Because almost all the other players want to leave this summer, Brooking can't ask for a sky-high price. And Carrick is the kind of player who won't leave if he doesn't take the initiative to sell, and Brooking naturally has the confidence to take the opportunity to get a high price.

"You said that Carrick is one of the few players in England's youth who can control the tempo of the game, and I agree with you about that. But Mr. Brooking, don't forget that Carrick missed most of the game this past season due to injury. So, I personally care about his health and recovery. If I spend £15 million on Carrick and end up bringing back a medicine jar to the team, or a man whose form has declined since an injury, then I won't have to be sprayed with blood by the fans?" George's reaction was quick, and as soon as Brooking's words came out, he cut Brooking's offer a lot at once on the grounds that he was worried about Carrick's recovery and personal health, "So, I'm going to make an offer of £5 million for Carrick, and the transfer fee will be paid in one lump sum, what do you think of the price?"

Hearing George's counteroffer, Brooking almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, and said in his heart that you kid didn't look like a novice at all, and was as black as those old fritters: "Don't dream! I will never agree to this price! 5 million pounds, George, what is the difference between you and grabbing it empty-handed? 15 million pounds, not a penny, otherwise you don't have to talk about it!"

Obviously, after realizing that George is not a mediocre player in transfer negotiations, Brooking is not going to continue to be polite. He knew that he had to show a tough enough attitude at this time. Otherwise, Carrick's transfer fee may be cut to the point of being cut by this kind-hearted guy in front of him.

"Mr. Brooking, are you serious?" After receiving an affirmative reply from Brooking, George was not ambiguous, and immediately changed his tone and mentioned the name of another player, "Hmm...... If I can't sign Carrick for a relatively reasonable price, then I'll have to go on the offensive with Joe Cole. I think he would be very willing to play in White Hart Lane. And the main thing is that Joe Cole should be worth much cheaper than Carrick. ”

"Hey, George, didn't you say you were going to buy Michael, how could you just change your mind when you got into trouble?" Brooking's expression couldn't help but become panicked when he heard George's words. Unlike Michael Carrick, who is willing to play in League One, Joe Cole is determined to leave West Ham. Therefore, if Joe Cole learns that Tottenham has the intention of bringing him in, he will definitely force the club to the palace as soon as possible, asking the team to agree to Tottenham's offer as soon as possible, and may even take the initiative to help Tottenham reduce the price!

And, crucially, if Tottenham get Joe Cole, then George will certainly not think about bringing in Carrick again. As a result, Brooking will no longer be able to demand a hefty transfer fee from George in this negotiation, nor will he be able to bring the club enough liquidity for the team's rebuilding efforts. And this is precisely what West Ham United, which urgently needs to recoup funds from the sale of players, cannot accept!

"Well, to tell you the truth, I did really want Carrick at first, but the price you offered, Mr. Brooking, was unacceptable to me, so I had to change my mind at the last minute. George shrugged his shoulders and put on a helpless expression, "Of course, if you can make some concessions on the transfer fee, I'd still prefer to buy Carrick...... Mr. Brooking, do you think 8 million pounds, paid in a lump sum, is this the right price?"

To be honest, George actually used some psychological tactics against Brooking here. He first asked Brooking to change Carrick's psychological positioning from "a player to be sold at a price" to a "player who must be sold", and then waited until the other party was ready to sell Carrick, and then threw Joe Cole under the guise of not being able to negotiate the price. However, at this time, Brooking had already made up his mind to sell Carrick, and at the same time, George's words made the other party invisibly compare the transfer value of Carrick and Joe Cole in his heart (Chelsea had already begun transfer negotiations with Joe Cole at this time), believing that although Tottenham's offer was far lower than his psychological expectations, it was not outrageous compared to Chelsea.

In this way, as long as George raises his chips a little in the negotiations, so that Brooking feels that the deal is more profitable than Joe Cole's, and satisfies the psychological needs of the other party in the rush to exchange for a large amount of liquidity, he can get Carrick's transfer at a relatively low price.

Some people may ask, if George needs a playmaking midfielder, then why doesn't he consider Veron, the Argentine wizard? You know, when George left Manchester United, didn't Veron express his willingness to play in George's team? In that case, why did George go to such lengths to poach Carrick from West Ham United?

That's right, although Veron did say this to George at the time, but when it came time to really fulfill his promise, the Argentine midfielder did not hesitate to play a game of selective amnesia - in the days since George moved into Tottenham and became the new owner of White Hart Lane, Veron did not make a single phone call to George!

Although Veron's reversal had long been expected by George, when it really happened, George was still extremely unhappy in his heart - I tried my best to formulate tactics for you, so that you can get out of the predicament of adapting to the water and soil, and as a result, Veron, you bastard is how to repay me? Although I understand the reason why you don't want to join Tottenham, but in this case, don't talk so much in the first place!

Without further ado, let's get back to the transfer talks between George and Brooking.

"Hmm...... The price still feels a bit low. Sure enough, after hearing George's new round of offers for Carrick, Brooking's attitude softened a lot, "Why don't we take a step back and pay 10 million pounds in one lump sum?"

"£9,000,000, Mr. Brooking, don't be too greedy. You know, even when Frank Lampard went to Chelsea two years ago, he was only worth £11 million, which was still the price at a time when player transfer fees were generally rising. Seeing that Brooking was still a little dissatisfied, George added another 1 million pounds, "And now, the transfer fee can exceed 10 million pounds is basically those first-line stars, I don't think Carrick has the ability." ”

"9 million is 9 million, deal!" Brooking pondered for a while, and felt that it was reasonable to sell Carrick to this price, and he also had an explanation for the tasks assigned by the management, so he simply agreed to George's offer, "But let's say it first, this fee must be paid in a lump sum." Otherwise, I'll still veto this deal!"

In this way, after a short but intense negotiation, George and Brooking successfully agreed on a transfer fee for Carrick - Tottenham will pay a transfer fee of 9 million pounds, and after the summer transfer window opens, officially bring in their main midfielder, Michael Carrick, from West Ham United!
