[SCIFIN17YID]

TOTTENHAM boss Martin Jol has targeted Atletico Madrid midfielder Martin after selling Michael Carrick to Manchester United yesterday for £15million.

Carrick has agreed a five-year contract worth £40,000-a-week as first revealed in Mirror Sport on Wednesday.

Jol will use new £8.2m signing Didier Zokora of the Ivory Coast to replace Carrick but wants to strengthen his squad still further.

Bulgarian left-sided midfielder is Jol's top target and he is also hoping to resurrect a move for Wigan £3.5m-rated right-back Pascal Chimbonda.

Carrick, 25, yesterday, will have a medical at Old Trafford on Monday.

**** **** ****, :'( who know's It would be nice for us to fill that position though. btw Stewart Downing how good is this guy ? who would you rather have martin or Downing ?

[Keanoldinho]

I like Downing and think he could be a useful player, but MGP has that priceless ability to change a game with a wonder goal in the blink of an eye. Petrov is supposed to be the dogs danglies but I've never seen him play.

It also says with the new appointment of Mexican coach Aguirre, the team is excited about the new season. Apparantly Torres and Petrov are pledging their future with Atletico. This is where Berba comes in and bro's down with Petrov and tries to convince his countryman where his future lies.

[Spur]

Will Berba and Petrov be meeting up for international duty before the August 31st deadline.

one word "simao" he is the one to bag

one word "simao" he is the one to bag

He's a right winger though isn't he? Or is he two footed? He is a good player, but if he's just right footed then I don't think he's our man, because he's a winger and not a Nedved type.

Why didn't Liverpool sign him instead of Pennant? He have been a better signing for them.

I think he two footed, but prefers to play on the left.. Actually I don't think he's that good.. Have only seen him a few times, but he has dissapointed me every time.. He hardly never beats his man, he not a pace winger. He's more like a winger who try to beat his man with skill... Plus the fact that Valencia have got a bid in the region of 10-12 mill. rejected...

[Houdini logic]

I'm surprised we didn't get given Giggs as part of the Carrick deal, along with Rooney. Oh well.
