Rio Ferdinand was absent from Manchester United's win over Blackburn on Saturday as his injury troubles flared up again and the News of the World claims he could be sidelined for eight weeks.
And former England boss Graham Taylor says Ferdinand's legs have gone and he will not be able to return to his peak. Taylor aired his views on Radio Five and some of the papers have picked up on them, but it's a bit rich for the Sunday Express to pass them off as Exclusive.
So what is Sir Alex Ferguson's masterplan to counter the Ferdinand situation? Well, if the News of the World is to be believed, it is to buy a player he sold in 2008. Ryan Shawcross has been in impressive form for Stoke and Fergie is plotting to bring him back to Old Trafford.
Chelsea are so confident of overturning their transfer ban, screams the News of the World, that they are planning a January raid on Valencia for Spain sensation David Villa.
Another defeat for Hull and the papers claim the loss to Burnley is the last straw, with the axe ready to fall on Phil Brown on Monday.
Mark Hughes flew to Spain on Saturday a secret' spying mission to check out Osasuna defenders Ignacio Monreal and Cesar Azpillicueta. Not quite so secret if the News of the World are aware of it.
The News of the World prides itself on being on the pulse of all the transfer talk and the pick of this week's offerings surround Liverpool and Tottenham. It's players heading out, though, with Ryan Babel ready to return to Ajax and Roman Pavlyuchenko a target for Birmingham.
Nice to see Paul Ince is tackling the big issues in his column in the News of the World:
"What the hell's going on? How are those two muppets still on X Factor? Now I can't carry a tune in a bucket but I can see and hear that they're crap." For what it's worthy, Eurosport-Yahoo! quite likes Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh!
The Star on Sunday offers up a couple of interesting transfer tales: Philippe Senderos to Everton and Emile Heskey to Fulham.

Afew days in the life of a chelsea fan...
He goes to work on Monday and gets sacked for tossing off under his desk in the office. He leaves work for the last time but misses his train home and gets caught in the rain without a brolly, on his arrival at his flat he listens to his answering machine to find out that the kid he thought was his is acctually his best friends kid and that his gilfriend/babysmum has been sleeping with his mate since Moriniho left the bridge. Chelsea fan goes down to the pub and sees mate and girlfriend having a drink in HIS local and he gets into a fight with mate, gives his mate a Chelsea smile only for his mate to give him a Chelsea smile back. Chelsea fan and ex mate get nicked and both spend the next 27 hours in the cells. Girlfriend bails them both out but tells them she can't see them anymore cos their both wack, that she met this Arsenal fan and once she went black she could never go back. Chelsea fan goes and gets a bite to eat at the Kebab shop, pissed as hell, and then home to bed where he dreams that none of the past few days had ever happened that his kid is his, that his ex is his girl again, that Moriniho never left that they were never managed by Avram Grant and that they are still spending 100 mill a season on new players. Also dreams that Chelsea are still the league Champs after going unbeaten for 50 games home and away and that his mate never slept with his girl. Wakes up to find himself back in his lame old life with a GIANT wet patch in his pants and in his mattress.

jagielka for england
Sorry but Rio`s lost it, United have other opitions like promosing stars for example Evans in the backline.
But Carrager istotally shocking i will never like him even though he supports everton sorry but i rather prefer gerrard than him.
peckhams finest son rio faginhand what a @#$% maybe the rumours of eight weeks out are just a ploy that he does not need a drugs test look at the strength at the bridge in the center of defence...king john ,carvalho,alex,ivanovic,bouma, awesome
How different life is in London compared to Liverpool, eh Shittles?
The average week of a United fan
Wakes up in the morning, puts on his designer jacket, shirt and trousers and then jumps into his car to drive to work, on the way home he may stop of at the local Chinese for some food or even phone his gf or wife to meet up for a meal at a nice restaurant.
When he gets home, using his contract mobile phone, he calls his mates and family just to say hello and to have a quick chat, Anyway later after watching a film or intelligent documentary on TV the united fan goes to bed. After dreaming that Man united finished 2nd in the league the united fan wakes up to shrug of the relief of having a nightmare and goes to work again
Later during the week, his wages are in his bank so he gets dressed in his 'designer going out gear' and then phones a taxi to take him to town, has a couple of pints, a bite to eat, and perhaps has a flutter at the local casino on the way home. . The next day its Saturday, he wakes up next to a lovely 'lady like' blonde which he pulled at the casino the night before, drives her home, and off he goes to watch united at Old Trafford
The average week for a scouser
Wakes up in the morning, puts on his baseball cap or hoodie, and then takes a bus ride or strut down to the local dole office to sign on, on the way home he may rob a car stereo, or perhaps even beat up an old granny for her purse.
He gets home and invites his mates to come over using his 'pay as you go' mobile phone which he either found or robbed of some poor little kid who was given it by his mum or dad for a Christmas present.
Anyway, later the scousers mates all come round, they all gather in the bedroom with a bong to inhale their cannabis. At night when the scouser is stoned out of his skull he goes to bed and dreams about Liverpool winning the league title, only to wake up in the morning to realise it was just a nice dream. By now his giro has arrived so he cashes it and goes straight down to the local bookies to place a wager on Man United to win the league title. On the way home he stops of at the local boozer, has about 8 pints of the cheapest beer he can afford and meets a dirty stinking slag. Its sat morning, he wakes up next to this dirty piece, sends her home and then sits down in front of the telly to watch football on TV

I only wish that Jagielka was fit for we need his skill and control in the middle of defence. However, Everton's main problem lies in midfield where we need a strong general who can dictate play. We do have some excellent players there but it is the hub of midfield that requires someone special to make us click. We need a player who can control play and can spread the ball around skilfully. I know that we are short of funds but Everton need to sort this essential part of the game if we are to compete at the top of the Premiership.
