Transfer gossip heats up with Cole, Carrick and Downing

Bloody hell. It's all hotting up. Aside from Chelsea, it's all seemed a bit quiet in transfer land, until now! Carrick has gone to Man Urinal, with the club apparently shelling out £18.6 million on him (phew!). So what will Jol spend his money on? Well, it would seem he's after Gareth Barry (who'd blame him if he left?) and Stuart Downing.

Ashley Cole, still disgruntled at Arsenal, is in a tug-of-war between Chelski and Real Madrid. Obviously, Arsene doesn't want to see Cole playing for London rivals, and reports suggest that he'll be sold to Marca for 18million euros, as opposed to the 25 million being offered by the boys from the Bridge.
