"Happy working together!"*2 In Brooking's office, George and the acting West Ham coach gently touched the champagne glasses in their hands and smiled. Clearly, www.biquge.info both men are quite happy to be able to agree on Carrick's transfer.

It turned out that after finalizing the exact amount of Carrick's transfer fee, Brooking and George, who were in a pretty good mood, felt the need to celebrate the transfer deal that was so hard to be reached. So, the above scene appeared in the room.

But to be honest, Brooking's psychology at this time is still quite tangled. On the one hand, a group of players in the team choose to transfer freely after the expiration of their contracts, and a group of people who cannot sell at a high price because of the team's relegation and personal wishes, and the transfer market is much more depressed than the heyday of two years ago, being able to get 9 million pounds in Carrick's transfer is already a pretty good result for the current West Ham United, and Brooking naturally has reason to be happy;

After all, in Brooking's original vision, Carrick would have been the leading figure in leading the Hammers back to the Premier League next season. And now, he has to sell Carrick to Tottenham Hotspur, a city rival, for a transfer fee of nine million pounds, which cannot but be said to be a very painful thing for him.

Alas, it would be nice if the first half of the season hadn't dug such a big hole, otherwise with the team's form in the second half of the season, if they want to be relegated from the Premier League, it won't be an easy task? As a legend who played for West Ham United as a player and dedicated his prime to Upton Park, Brooking's affection for the Hammers goes without saying. Therefore, he really doesn't want the team to lose this homegrown midfielder with great talent.

But there is no way, the situation is stronger than people. Even Brooking, who has a high reputation at West Ham, is unlikely to go against the club's hierarchy's decision to sell players in exchange for liquidity at this time.

What Brooking doesn't know is that, in fact, he has taken a very big advantage in this transfer. Because in George's previous life, although West Ham United managed to keep Carrick this summer, but a year later, they finally sold Carrick to Tottenham, and only returned a measly £2.75 million transfer fee, which is a world away from the £9 million reached now!

The reason why there is such a huge gap is because the Hammers in the previous life failed to overtake in the following 03-04 season. As the leader of West Ham United at the time, Carrick's value was naturally affected a lot, and the latter's relationship away from the top flight for a whole season led to a significant decline in Carrick's value in his previous life.

Incidentally, Brooking originally wanted to add a secondary transfer sharing clause that would allow West Ham to make another profit when Tottenham sell Carrick to other teams in the future. However, Brooking's request was sternly rejected by George - what are you kidding, Carrick is already a player belonging to Tottenham, why should he give you West Ham a benefit when he leaves White Hart Lane?

The second transfer is divided into something, the most annoying!

Seeing George's attitude so resolute, Brooking, who was afraid that the other party would regret canceling the transfer again, could not continue to insist. After all, the situation is that West Ham desperately need to cut back on spending, while also getting enough liquidity to sustain operations and rebuild the team. Therefore, for Tottenham, a relatively generous buyer, Brooking must not be offended.

"Chief, I'm coming. After learning that the club had agreed to Tottenham's offer, Carrick immediately arrived at West Ham headquarters with his agent and knocked on the door of Brooking's office, "I already know everything." If my transfer could better help the club get out of trouble, I would have agreed to this move. ”

"Michael ......" Hearing Carrick's words, Brooking was immediately moved. He now feels deeply that the loss of such a player of noble character is really a great misfortune for West Ham.

Nodding to Brooking, who was already too moved to speak, Carrick turned to look at George, who was sitting on the other side of the table, and then held out his right hand, "Coach George Nelson, may I be happy to play under you in the future." I was impressed to be called up in such a difficult situation last season and to be able to lead Manchester United to Arsenal to the title...... So to be honest, from the moment I found out you were the Tottenham manager, I was very optimistic about your future at Tottenham. ”

"Haha, it's also my luck to be able to coach a player like you. "It's the so-called stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person. For Carrick's gesture of goodwill, George naturally couldn't put on a cold expression. What's more, in his team building plan, Carrick is going to be the metronome of the team. With such a player with such an important tactical position in his own plan, George should be well wooed, how can he give people a look at the face as soon as he comes up?

Besides, Carrick is not a Tottenham player yet. If George really dared to give the other party a look, unless Carrick was brainless, he wouldn't play under a manager who didn't like him.

This kid seems to be very good at being a man. George thought to himself as he shook Carrick's hand. He now understands why so many players came in and out of Manchester United after Alex Ferguson's retirement, and many players from the Ferguson era also said goodbye to Old Trafford in those years, while Carrick was always able to find a place in the first team, and until 2016, he was still an important member of the Red Devils' rotation. Now it seems that it is obviously inseparable from Carrick's way of dealing with people.

On the other hand, Carrick is also looking at the manager in front of him, who is not much older than him, but his life experience is already full of legends. He wanted to know what his position was in the other party's plan. Will he be at the heart of the playmaker like Veron and Andrea Pirlo, or will he be able to play for Redknapp Jr., as he did at West Ham?

After all, in the eyes of most fans and pundits at this time, Joe Cole, who has a flamboyant style of play, is the number one playmaker at West Ham United. Carrick, on the other hand, is nothing more than a supporting presence behind Joe Cole. This, neither under Rhodes nor under Brooking, has never changed.

This is also the main reason why Carrick's fame is far inferior to Joe Cole, and even the team's Defoe and Glenn Johnson, who only debuted last season - the team is positioned like this, coupled with Carrick's good old personality and he doesn't like to argue with others about everything, so that his talent is completely overshadowed by the light of other teammates, and only George, a time-traveler with memories of his past life, discovered the energy contained in Carrick's body in advance.

In other words, if Carrick had really shown no less talent and ability than Joe Cole at this time, how could West Ham sell him to Tottenham so cheaply?

Although Carrick has already expressed his willingness to play at White Hart Lane, there will be some talks between the two sides before he can discuss his personal treatment at Tottenham. If the two sides don't agree on this issue, then Carrick will not be part of Tottenham.

So, after the arrival of Carrick, in order to facilitate the negotiation between the two parties in terms of personal treatment and other aspects, Brooking took George and Carrick and his party to a small reception room nearby, and then left - partly because he could not bear to see Carrick sign a contract with Tottenham, and partly because there were other transfer negotiations waiting for Brooking to deal with at this time.

You know, Carrick is just the least visible of West Ham's youth team, such as the famous Joe Cole, Glenn Johnson and other players, naturally attract more buyers. Therefore, Brooking still has a lot of things to deal with now, and it is not easy to spend half a day negotiating with George in person about Carrick's transfer.

It may seem to others that negotiating a player's personal deal is a long and difficult task, but for George, who has deep pockets and is the sole owner of Tottenham, it is clear that the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem. Not to mention, this era has not yet been like ten years later, when player wages have skyrocketed like rockets under the turmoil of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. So, after seeing George offer a contract with an annual salary of one million pounds (about $1.6 million) with various bonus clauses, Carrick happily signed his name to the contract.

Watching Carrick sign the contract, George's heart could be said to be happy. After taking Carrick, one of the most critical aspects of his team building plan has been implemented. The next step is to build a lineup based on Carrick's technical characteristics and playing style, and work out a strategy that suits his play.

I'm sorry, Alex, the replacement you want to find for Roy [Keane] is now a Tottenham Hotspur player. George secretly apologized in his heart to Ferguson, who had been invisibly dug into a corner by him. However, Ferguson, who didn't know Carrick's ability, couldn't have realized that he had been cut off by George in advance.
