* Monaco president Jean-Louis Campora has scotched rumours of a Fab return to the principality: "It is out of question from a Monaco point of view. We are very happy with our two keepers, Flavio Roma and Tony Sylva. We also have Stephane Porato who will come back from loan at Creteil. So this problem is not topical."
* The Mirror reckon that we will offer Barthez as bait for Ronaldinho to Paris St Germain in a swap worth £16 million. However PSG chairman Francis Graille said: "There is no contact. I hear talk about any barter at the moment, but everything is false." The Mirror then say that we will try to get Rustu Recber or Paul Robinson. One is free and the latter is not.
* The NOTW saysd that Jermain Defoe says he’s doing one if Worst Ham go down. United have been linked.
* As we reported last Sunday, most papers say that United are interested in Brazilian left back, Athirson, who is owned by Juve but is on loan at Flamenco. Fergie is quoted in the Screws as saying that Martin Ferguson is in Brazil trying to find a left back.
* David Bellion plays a straight bat in The People: "I was very flattered to have caught the attention of Manchester United.
"You see the kind of quality players they have. To know a coach like Sir Alex Ferguson is interested in you is very flattering and good for your confidence.
"I will wait and see what the offers are but I would like to stay in the Premiership. It depends on the options.
"I came to Sunderland when I was 18. It is a great souvenir that I think I am a better player than when I first came.
"I am out of contract and I will be joining another club. I don't think I will sign a new contract at Sunderland. I cannot talk about Manchester United's interest because I am still under contract with Sunderland.
"I just have to wait and see what happens. I am only 20 and I want to have a good career."
* The Mail on Sunday say that we will move for Harry Kewell after he ‘rejected a £50,000 contract with Leeds’
