At the end of January and August, Hilton hotels don't have to worry about customers, because their housing is overcrowded in the second half of the month, even in the entire Hyde Park neighborhood.

All of this is the result of the Moon Sports Services' Football Economic Forum, which has become the largest football forum in the world, and almost all the world's most well-known football clubs want to put up their own flags and desks on this forum.

Today's Football Economic Forum has developed from the first floor to the banquet hall on the second to fifth floors of the Hilton Hotel, of which the second and third floors are European, the fourth floor is South America, and the fifth floor is a mixed area of Africa, Asia and North America.

In addition, the forum has also leased several floors, specially used for VIP customers, as well as arranging for some well-known customers to hold meetings and negotiations, in addition to the national football associations have offices in the hotel, such as England, Scotland, France, Spain, etc., have arranged special teams to settle in, and some other major countries are the same, and even many small countries are simply entrusted directly to Moon Sports Services as an agent.

In other words, as long as you negotiate all the deals in this venue, you can register in the shortest possible time.

The closing time of the transfer market is nominally twenty-three o'clock, but in fact, it is not so punctual, it is generally slightly delayed, about half an hour, and after entering the night, the things that should be discussed are basically negotiated, and the things that should be done are done, so the venue has become very deserted, and more people are gathered in the negotiation room or conference hall.

The FA's office was set up in a suite on the eighth floor of the Hilton Hotel, and this time they arranged for a team of more than a dozen people to come in, and they spent almost all of the three days in the venue, and even many times they had to take turns to rest, because the work was so much too busy.

Many people say that transfers during the winter break are not as good as summer transfers, and this is not true, because summer transfers are longer in the making and there is more preparation time, so there will definitely be more transfers and more transactions.

However, the winter break is shorter and the operation time is less, so many times the transfer is concentrated in the last few days, especially after the establishment of the Football Economic Forum, the last three days have almost become an important channel for teams to bring in reinforcements or loans.

In the last three days of this year, the Premier League alone has reached 130 transfers and loans, most of which are loans, which also have a certain relationship with the winter break transfer, after all, the operation time is too short, the loan is undoubtedly a more cost-effective transaction, and the risk is relatively small, if it is not suitable, it will be withdrawn directly after half a year.

But this is only the Premier League, you know, there are four professional leagues in England, the Championship, League One and League Two, and even some professional teams in the amateur league, and their transfer needs are also very large, not lost to the Premier League at all, so the player mobility is also very frequent.

Closing a transfer is not as simple as many ordinary fans think, if it is outside the economic forum, the procedure will be more complicated, they need to run a lot of departments, and the good thing about the football economic forum is that the FA has arranged a working group, and each FA department has a staff to enter the group, and there are even labor certification inspectors from the Home Office.

In other words, you used to need to run a lot of departments, but now you don't need to, you just need to go to the Football Economic Forum, one-stop, and all the work can be done.

But even if so many links are saved, there are still a lot of things to do and materials to provide.

For example, La Liga's Deportivo wants to loan striker Sisco, who plays for Newcastle, if you want to complete this transfer, you must first have an agent involved, and the agent must provide your own agent certificate and the player's authorization document, as well as the player's own statement, and Newcastle must show the club executive, at least the CEO's signature document, and Deportivo La Coruna must also provide the loan player's documents.

In addition to doing it on the side of the FA and the Spanish Football Federation, it is also considered that it is a cross-border transaction, and UEFA must also deal with it, so the whole process can be done a lot of time, and these are essential, because this is a transfer, related to the player and the club of the two top leagues, who dares to be careless?

With the Football Economic Forum, they are at most upstairs and downstairs, but if it was in the past, when there was no Football Economic Forum, the way they adopted was even more inefficient, so they could only use fax, and wait for news after passing it, and even every year there will be some at the last moment of the transfer period, the fax paper is out of paper or there is a failure, or the Football Association delays the reply and other reasons, resulting in the transfer being forced to cancel.

That's why they want to participate in the Football Economic Forum, not only because it's a comprehensive forum, but also because it's more convenient and efficient.

Paul Murne, CEO of Moon Sports Services? Newman will be present at the end of every football economic forum, where he will keep a close eye on the volume of transactions, and Moon Sports Services will also have a file of his own, which will be kept for future analysis, in order to provide better and more targeted services in the future, but also to improve some problems.

The time is already 23:25, and many of the working groups of the Football Association have finished their work, ending a busy three days, and what awaits them next is leisurely work, and they will be busy again in the summer.

But the FA still can't stop because they are still waiting for news.

Paul? From time to time, Newman held up the watch on his left wrist and looked at it almost several times a minute.

"Will it be done?" The FA people are looking a little impatient.

If it can be successful, it doesn't matter if it waits, but if the negotiations break down, then their wait will be completely useless, and you know, according to the regulations, twenty-three o'clock is the transfer deadline, but now it has been more than half an hour, and they have every reason to just leave.

Paul? After hearing this, Newman smiled, "Don't worry, it should be done, I'll let the hotel bring hot coffee, everyone rest first, don't worry, it should be soon!" ”

Moon Sports Services does not take any commissions from transfers, which is the purpose of the player database and the Football Economic Forum, so whether the transaction is made or not, the impact on Moon Sports Services is not great, but one side of this transaction is Tottenham Hotspur, strictly speaking, Tottenham Hotspur and Moon Sports Services are brothers, both of which are Ye Qiu's industry.

Time passed minute by minute, and it didn't take long for time to skip thirty minutes.

"Let's go, I guess it won't be negotiated!" The FA people are usually bureaucrats, how could they have waited for people like this, if it weren't for Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur, plus Paul? Newman was on his side, and they had already left with their burdens on their shoulders.

Just as they were about to pack their things, they heard an urgent knock on the door outside.

"Here we go!" Paul? Newman smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over to open the door himself.

Just see Yaya? Toure's agent, Dimitri? Celluk walked outside panting, and although this guy looked like he was about to run out of breath, his expression was extremely excited, and this look could be seen on the face of almost every agent who walked into this room.

Because when they walk into this room, when they go out again, they don't know how much money they have made.

"What the hell are you doing? I'm half an hour late, and I'm here now? Not anymore! "These FA staff don't dare to say anything to Paul? Newman was angry, and he didn't dare to offend the Premier League, and even some big-name agents didn't dare to offend, but Dimitri? Seluq is clearly not in the ranks.

Therefore, these FA gentlemen, who usually command the FA, are now venting their sulkness on Celuk.

Paul? Newman is also aware of the situation, the FA is different from the Premier League, the former is a typical bureaucracy, the latter is managed by a modern corporate system, but unfortunately, there are many things in the Premier League that have to go through the FA, such as labor certification, such as fixture scheduling and adjustment, and red and yellow card infractions.

"Go ahead, prepare all the materials, hurry up!" Paul? Newman also felt that Celuk was quite unlucky, so he was a little sympathetic on the surface, but he knew very well in his heart that this guy was instigating Yaya? Toure jumped ship and transferred, and he didn't know how much commission he was going to take from this deal, and he deserved to be scolded.

Soon, representatives of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City also walked into the room one after another with materials. Kenyon and COO Ron? Gully's signature documents, Manchester City's side was negotiated by club president Hosni Mubarak at the Hilton Hotel.

"Wow!" When the FA people got the transfer papers, as usual, their first reaction was to see who was transferring, and then to see how much the transfer fee was, and they were a little surprised at this look.

The price of 55 million euros is indeed not high for Tottenham Hotspur's habitual high price to sell their stars, but the problem is that this contract has additional terms and conditions, that is, if Manchester City can get the top four in the league this season, and Yaya? Toure has reached double figures in appearances and will pay another five million euros.

In other words, this is a transfer fee of only 55 million euros, but if all the additional conditions are met, then this transfer will reach 60 million euros, which is almost the price Chelsea paid for Torres, and for a midfielder, it is simply sky-high.

Yaya? Toure has indeed been very popular in recent years, especially after Tottenham Hotspur sold Mascherano, Real Madrid and other giants have launched a pursuit of him, Manchester City also wanted to get him before, but Yaya at that time? Toure is worth around 30 million euros at most, but the problem is that he has just won the African Footballer of the Year, and at the same time he has played at a high level for three consecutive seasons, and now he is in his playing year, which has become the reason for his high price.

Now, moving to Manchester City at such a surprisingly high price is bound to confirm his title as the world's No. 1 defender.

Seeing the surprised look of the FA officials, Celuk also smiled, he was able to take 10% of the commission from this transaction, that is, 5.5 million euros, and this commission will be taken care of by Manchester City, that is, Manchester City in order to introduce Yaya? Toure, who paid even more than Torres.

Of course, no one knows how much the agent drew and how much Torres's transfer took.

Selluk himself did not have an agent certificate, so he asked a friend of his agent to act as an agent to complete the transfer.

After several hours of intense negotiations, Tottenham Hotspur's main defender Yaya? Toure finally moved to Manchester City!

…………

…………

The next day's major European newspapers were all about the last crazy news about the transfer market during the previous winter break, especially for the Premier League teams, because the Premier League teams were the most moving in the whole winter break transfer market.

In other leagues, Mourinho's Inter Milan has also introduced a number of players, including Pacini and Ranozia, to further strengthen their own strength, in Mourinho's words, not only to impact the Serie A championship, but also to continue to attack the Champions League.

While the whole European football world is paying attention to the transfer madness of the Premier League's winter break, Tottenham Hotspur players have also heard about Yaya? The news of Toure's switch to Manchester City is not too surprising for them. Toure had already mentioned it to them.

It's just that it's a bit of a pity, after all, the strength of the Ivorians is indeed very good.

Without him in the team, who can be relied on in the midfield position?

The next day, the first-team players who gathered at Theobald were worried and some were happy. Toure's departure is an opportunity for many people, an opportunity to gain a foothold in the first team, or even play in the main team.

Ye Qiu announced this news to the players before the start of the morning training session, and at the same time, the club's official website and mobile APP also pushed this news to fans all over the world for the first time in the morning, and Ye Qiu also told everyone, Yaya? Toure's departure is regrettable, but Tottenham Hotspur will continue to go strong!

In the first training session that followed, everyone clearly felt Ye Qiu's test for them, after all, the 25th round of the Premier League will be ushered in tomorrow, who will replace Yaya? Toure, all the players who have the competition are full of fighting spirit.

In training, Ye Qiu tried three players successively, Ramsey, Phil? Jones and Pogba.

Of the three players, Pogba is the youngest, only 17 years old, and is also the least competitive, after all, his age is there, and Ramsey is the most competitive, because his running and covering ability is very good, but his defense seems to be more dominated by scrambling and tackles.

In the final analysis, as a midfielder, Ramsey is at a physical disadvantage if he wants to play at the back, and many times the reason why he puts a tackle is because the opponent is about to break through his defense, so he can only put a tackle when he has to do so, which is itself caused by a defensive failure.

Phil? Jones is very good in terms of defensive ability, physical fitness, speed and physical confrontation, and he is also very suitable for playing this back, and don't look at him as only eighteen years old, but this kid has a strong fighting spirit and strong fighting ****, and he is a typical English enthusiastic young man.

But in the end, he is young, reckless, and has a momentum, but it will take a long time to carve if he can put it away or not.

After Ye Qiu tested Ramsey in the morning, he put Phil? Jones pulled out for a separate special training.

First of all, Jean Phil? Jones, as a defensive player, faced a variety of offensive routines of the main players in one-third of the court, and then Mauro, who was in charge of defensive training and skill polishing? Tasotti personally supervised him, calling a halt as soon as something went wrong, reminding and teaching him how to run and stand, and how to protect the defence behind him.

The whole process except for Phil? Outside of Jones, including Ramsey, Pogba and even other midfielders, who were on the sidelines or involved on the pitch, they were also affected by Mauro? Some analysis and guidance from Tasotti.

The entire tactical training lasted for an hour, and then Phil? Jones went to the practice room for special training, arranging for him to be able to stop the ball in any direction at any time and in any situation, not only to be able to stop, but also to be able to pass the ball to the most suitable place in the shortest possible time.

Moniz and Muhrensteen were personally responsible for his work in the practice room, especially for passing and stopping.

Except for Phil? In addition to Jones's attention from the coaching staff, Pogba is also the focus of attention from the coaching staff, after all, the midfield position is in dire need of the current position, and both of them are the team's key targets, such as David Beckham, Ramsey and Varane, at best, they can only be regarded as cameos.

For the coaching staff for Phil? Jones and Pogba have no objections to the matter, because if they are willing to practice more, they can also get relevant treatment from the coaching staff, but not as good as Fair? Jones and the two are treated as well, but that also takes into account the scarcity of midfielders in the team right now.

Throughout the winter break, Tottenham Hotspur had nothing to do with the sale of Yaya? In addition to Toure, will also Solgen? Hazzard was sent to Southampton in the Championship, and the Belgian player may not be as talented as his brother Eden? Hazzard is eye-catching, but his strength is still very good, and he can't play at Tottenham Hotspur, so he can only go to Southampton.

With Tottenham Hotspur selling Yaya for a high price? Toure, the future prospects of the north London team are also in doubt, after all, Yaya? Toure plays the midfield position, which is an important part of the defense, although Tottenham Hotspur is a passive seller, but the sale of the main midfielder, the impact is still great.

Many bookmakers have lowered Tottenham Hotspur's championship expectations, especially in the Champions League, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and other teams have begun to catch up with Tottenham Hotspur, but in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur is still the number one favorite to win the championship with a strong lead.

Interestingly, in the 25th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Blackburn away from home.

Is this Phil? Jones' old club!
