There is no impermeable wall in the world, although George asked the club to keep it confidential as soon as he received these transfer applications, but within a few days, the news of Ribery and others' request for transfer was published in major British newspapers!

"Five Men Leave! Tottenham Dynasty Collapses Before It Starts?", after confirming the authenticity of this news, the Times, the Mirror and the BBC and other media outlets have made similar headlines. Obviously, Tottenham did not take the opportunity to expand their strength after winning the Champions League, but instead sent away so many important rotation players, which made these media somewhat unoptimistic about Tottenham's prospects.

At the same time, seeing the news that five players including Ribery, Villa, Basturk, Kompany and Vermaelen submitted transfer applications to the club, Tottenham fans were also confused - it was clear that the team had just won the Champions Cup, and it was the time to show their strength, why were so many people in a hurry to leave all of a sudden, and they were all important members who occupied a place in the rotation lineup?!

Although they are very worried about the future of the team, out of trust in George, Tottenham fans have not expressed much dissatisfaction with it. Because they all remembered that just two years ago, when Tottenham had just changed hands, George had an operation on the team on a much larger scale than it is now!

You must know that at that time, except for a few people such as Ridley King, Carl, Robbie Keane, etc., the other players were kicked out of White Hart Lane by George that summer, and were replaced by Drogba, Ronaldo, and Ribery, who are not very famous in European football. At that time, it was not all thought that Tottenham would become the second Real Betis and Atletico Madrid under the misdeeds of the new owners, but the result? Tottenham won the Premier League runner-up, FA Cup and League Cup in George's first year in charge, and this season not only successfully won the league runner-up and FA Cup, but also turned the Champions League title they never dreamed of before into a bag!

It is precisely because of this success story that Tottenham fans only expressed some concern about the departure of Ribery and others, but did not take any drastic actions to protest!

At this time, Arsenal fans are naturally the happiest at the current state of Tottenham. After learning the news, they flocked to Tottenham's fan forums to taunt them, saying that Tottenham were about to follow in the footsteps of Blackburn Rovers and go into decline after a brief period of glory! ）

Regarding this argument of Arsenal fans, George can only say hehe, and say in his heart that you grasshoppers after the autumn can also take advantage of this time to jump for a while. When Vieira is taken to the Alp Stadium by the Molao Foxes, I think any of you will still have the heart to taunt Tottenham's turf?

Although the transfer talks between the two sides regarding Vieira are still in the secret stage, it will not be difficult for George, who is very close to Juventus, to know the progress of this deal, knowing that the Gunners captain is very likely to be a member of the Bianconeri this summer, as he was in his previous life!

What's more, despite having to send Ribery away, George is also planning for Tottenham's summer signings. For example, the current contract renewal with Liverpool is at an impasse, and Steven Gerrard, the captain of the Reds who is secretly looking for his next home, is one of George's key targets!

"Boss, this is Mr. Steven Gerald's agent, Mr. Stroon Marshall. At Boyd Layton Estate, Paratici, who was the number one person in charge of poaching Gerrard, was enthusiastically introducing the "distinguished guest" to George: "Mr. Marshall, this is Viscount George Nelson, the owner and manager of our Tottenham Hotspur club. ”

"Hello, Mr. Marshall, it is a pleasure to have taken time out of your busy schedule to come to London. Because it is the most important signing of the summer for Tottenham, George must show a courteous attitude at this time, and not be too domineering and strong to cause the opponent to dislike, "I hope we can have a good night today and reach a consensus on Gerrard's matter." ”

"If you, Mr. Viscount, could tell me that I wouldn't be interested in bringing in Steven, I'd be glad to spend the night in this manor. Compared with George, who was extremely enthusiastic, Marshall's attitude was quite cold, and he even didn't say a word to George as soon as he came up.

"Haha, Mr. Marshall, you're joking. If Gerrard doesn't have any intention of moving to Tottenham, I'm afraid you can't be a guest with Fabio [Paratic] and him, right?" In other words, after doing some investigation of Marshall in advance, George had already made sufficient psychological preparations for Marshall's possible move!

As an agent who relies on Liverpool to make his fortune and owns more than a dozen new and old Reds such as Gerrard, Carragher, McAllister, etc., Marshall actually does not want to see Gerrard leave Anfield. Because in doing so, it will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the good relationship between him and Liverpool for many years!

However, Marshall's painstaking persuasion clearly failed to reverse Gerrard's growing desire to leave. Especially when Liverpool has missed the Champions League for two consecutive years, and the club cannot guarantee that it can strengthen the team in the summer, Gerrard, who has run out of patience, is no longer willing to stay at Anfield Stadium to waste his time!

The main reason why Gerrard was able to agree to renew his contract at Liverpool's desperate side, rather than join the sincere Chelsea, was that the Reds won the Champions Cup at that time, which made the Red Army feel that Liverpool had the hope of returning to the top under the management of Benitez. And in this life, due to the strong rise of Tottenham under the leadership of George to squeeze Liverpool out of the top four in the league, Gerrard does not see the dawn of the revival of the Red Army at all, so the willingness to leave the team is naturally much stronger than in the previous life!

What's more, the reality of missing the Champions League for two consecutive years has not only greatly damaged the image of the Reds' top giants, but also made Liverpool's already poor financial situation even worse - affected by the Hollier era's lavish spending on people, Liverpool, who could not qualify for the Champions League, had no way to ensure that they broke even when their income was missing a large chunk!

In order to avoid following the old path of Leeds United, the Liverpool hierarchy are now no longer as adamant as they were before on the issue of retaining Steven Gerrard. David Morse, who doesn't want to continue to spend money in the hole of Liverpool, is already secretly planning to alleviate the financial pressure on the club by purging the team of high-paid players and "quality assets"!

In this way, no matter how bad Marshall's attitude is, Gerrard's departure has become a certainty. The only question is which team he will choose as the next stop in his career!
