* Galatasaray are rumoured to be interested in Saha.

* The Express say that West Ham are lining up a bid for Alan Smith.

* Ferguson says United wanted Torres:

"The Fernando Torres transfer was interesting. He's a player we have enquired about a couple of times over the years but when it came to the crunch he would sign a new contract or other things would happen and a deal never materialised.

"We didn't pursue our interest this summer and if he's gone for £20million or so then that is a fair price for him - but he was on huge money in Madrid. I think also the fact that Rafael Benitez is Spanish may have helped Liverpool conclude the deal."
