Transfer talks:
A warm-ruud welcome *****
Sir Alex has said that he will welcome van Nistelrooy back for training on Monday. The dutch striker, who is a transfer target for real, has not been shown such high interest after Real Madrid threatened to close negotiations with the reds. That will of course, only be a gift for bayern Munich, who were ready to launch a bid that surpasses that of Real Madrid. Sir Alex has compared Ruud to 30 million pound Shevchenko and 8 million pound Andy Johnson asking the question who he is closer to.
Barca & Real complete Juve double swoop *****

D-Day for euro-Duff bid ***

Blackburn for Ayala? **
Blackburn boss Mark Hughes is making an astonishing move for Argentina's Roberto Ayala.
Fortune-ate for Bolton? ***
Quinton Fortune will be handed a two-year contract by Bolton manager Sam Allardyce if he proves his fitness in tomorrow's friendly with Burnley. Aston Villa will have to move swiftly to persuade Alan Curbishley, their preferred choice to replace David O'Leary, to become the 14th manager to serve under chairman Doug Ellis in time for the start of the Premiership season.
Arca for boro? ***
Julia Arca is a transfer target for Middlesbrough while Frank Queudrue seems to be heading for the boro exit.
Mourinho keen to trim Chelsea squad ****
Jose Mourinho has revealed the fear of losing any more of Chelsea's stars has prompted him to trim his squad. Mourinho arrived at Stamford Bridge with the policy of having two players for every position but last summer's departure of Tiago and the likely exit of Damien Duff has changed his thinking. Mourinho is ready to use a core group of 20 adaptable players in a bid to keep everybody happy. Mourinho's change of approach does not extend to left-back, however, where the Portuguese manager is determined to have two options. Wayne Bridge has ended his loan spell at Fulham and will be staying at Stamford Bridge but a vacancy will open up when Asier del Horno returns to Spain, with Valencia leading the chase. Ashley Cole is the hot favourite to be installed as Del Horno's replacement but Mourinho will not comment on mounting speculation the Arsenal defender will join next week.
