Martin Jol has insisted that he does not have any ill feelings towards want-away Spurs midfielder Michael Carrick.

“No, not at all,” said Jol

“Michael Carrick was always a terrific servant to this club and he never moaned even when we told him he had to stay a couple of weeks ago.

“The only thing he said was that he wanted to go to Manchester United for the challenge and Man Utd is a terrific club.

“In the end they had to compensate us and good luck to him.

“Michael is an honest lad and hopefully he will do as well for them as he did for us.”
