Tottenham are rumoured to be ready to make an offer for Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick and are willing to offer Russian forward Roman Pavlyuchenko in order to tempt Sir Alex Ferguson into allowing the former White Hart Lane man to make a shock return to the club. Harry Redknapp reportedly moved to quash speculation of a move for the England international a couple of months back but many have seen this as a deliberate attempt to try to drive down any asking price for a player who has not been in the best of form of late. The Spurs boss made similar claims when first asked about his interest in Joe Cole, a player that he has now actively claimed to be trying to snare.
