There was some interesting headlines in the newspapers today.
* Spurs have signed Zokora from St Etienne which could mean Carrick is on his way to United.
* Atletico Madrid have put a £41.4m price tag on Fernando Torres – AC Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle all apparently want him
* Ronaldinho plays as Manchester United in computer football game competitions against his Brazil teammates
* Sven is talking to publishers about a biography deal where he will tell-all. Deal could be worth £2m. Sven manages to get even more money for doing nothing much really. I wish I could get a fraction of that just for telling my story.
Also United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz is going to be seeing Cristiano Ronaldo after the match on Saturday to try and persuade him to stay at United. I really hope he does – he has the potential to be the best player in the world. Like I said a couple days ago, United fans seem to love or hate him. There was a poll, I think on United’s official site, on whether you would be happy if he left. About 56% would be happy (or rather wouldnt mind) if he left. However Sir Alex has said he is not worried about the rumours.
Back to the actual football and its not long to the big match. Ronaldo appears to be winning his battle to play. Good news for Portugal, not for England.
