I talk to the wind

There's very similar speculation in both The Mail and The Telegraph on the result of Calderon's resignation on the Ronaldo "deal". The consensus seems to be, surprisingly, that no one knows. The frontrunner to be the new president, Florentino Perez, "is also understood to be keen on taking Ronaldo to the Bernabeu, though his relationship with Mendes and Manchester United is less clear." So there you go.
The Mail report that we are looking likely to sign Wilson Palacios from Wigan. The headline cites Sir Alex as being confident but in the article there is no mention of any comment by him on the subject. I've never seen any mention of this on Sky Sports News either - and I watch it pretty much all day - so who knows. Deal to be done over the weekend it is alleged so we'll soon know.
In news about things that have actually happened, Manucho has signed for Hull on loan till the end of the season.
This article from The Sun has quotes from Berbatov about not wanting to be compared to Cantona, and also has a good summary of our injury problems ahead of the Bolton game.

Berbatov said: “It’s not good to be compared to a legend, as it brings more pressure.

“I have my own style, I play my own way.

“I want to be known for that, rather than the comparison to be made.

“And there is no comparison. I have a long way to go.”

On our injuries:

Patrice Evra, Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Wes Brown all injured.

Tevez and Jonny Evans will also have fitness tests this morning and even Cristiano Ronaldo was limping after the midweek win over Wigan.

In training yesterday, John O’Shea and Rafael were the only fit defenders and Ryan Giggs did a stint at left-back.

With a patched-up side, Ferguson needs to draw on the strength of his squad. But he believes if they can stay in contention until all are fit again, then the title is in the bag.

We should still have enough to beat Bolton though, and with Bolton's problems scoring a record equalling clean sheet should be in the bag. See us winning yet another game 1 - 0.
The Telegraph has comments from Michael Carrick:

"When you get a number of injuries in similar positions, it can start to stretch you," he admitted.

"We have coped so far but you get times throughout the season when games come along that you just have to find a way to win.

"There are no excuses. Whoever plays is good enough to be at this club and to win."

To finish, The Mail has a story on Sir Alex being named "World's Best Club Coach of 2008" by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics. The awards just keep on coming...
