No Money From Carrick Sale

The Sun have revealed today that West Ham did not include a sell on clause when they sold Carrrick to the Spuds, consequently the club will receive no money from his recent transfer. As Carrick only had a few months left on his contract at West Ham the club were forced to sell Carrick on the cheap. The paper claims however that Carrick turned down his dream of playing for the Toon, who wanted to sign the player for free after his contract expired, in order to ensure that West Ham received some money from his sale.
