Ronaldo crashes his Ferrari

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has written off his Ferrari in a crash near Manchester Airport.

The 23-year-old winger was driving the sports car through a tunnel beneath the runways when he smashed into a barrier.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said his team-mate Edwin van der Sar was following in his Bentley, but the Dutch keeper was not involved in the crash.

Ronaldo was not injured in the accident, which happened on the A538 Altrincham Road at about 1020 GMT.

One lane of the road has been closed while the debris is removed.

Defoe back at Spurs

Tottenham have signed Defoe from Portsmouth on a 5 year contract. Defoe returns to his old club in which he left less than a year ago and will cost them £15m.

“Portsmouth can confirm a fee has been agreed with Tottenham for Jermain Defoe,” read a statement from Pompey.

Defoe scored 17 goals in 36 games for Portsmouth, comprising eight in his first seven matches and nine more this season.

The Spurs board continue to amaze me, they sold Defoe whilst he didn’t want to go and now they buy him back for double the price…nice bit of business there guys!

Tevez hits back at Fergie

Carlos Tevez has reacted angrily to Alex Ferguson’s comments regarding his contract situation.

He said:

I didn’t like him saying I didn’t like the offer I was made because neither my agent nor me were given one,

I don’t know anything on my future. United know what they must pay if they want me to stay.

I want everybody to know no offer has been made. I don’t like that they are playing with our fans, who show their love to me in each match.

I will sign my last contract and then I figure that I’ll go back to Boca Juniors. That could be in four or five years.

I say well done to Tevez for standing up to Ferguson because it seems like Fegie is trying to get rid of him and trying to do it in a sly way.

Ronaldo wants Real Madrid

Apparantly, Cristiano Ronaldo wants to join Real Madrid saying:

I’d like to play for Real Madrid but only if it’s true they are ready to pay what Manchester United ask of them.

However, it does not depend on me.

I’ll only talk about this again after the European Championships. Don’t ask me any questions because I won’t answer.

How are Man Utd reacting? well Rio Ferdinand wants him to stay and Alex Ferguson is on his way to Switzerland to try and persuade him to stay.

BBC's goal of season leaked

The Daily Mail is reporting that:

Bookmakers have stopped taking bets on Match of the Day’s goal-of-the-season competition after a huge plunge on Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Arsenal striker’s stunning goal at Spurs in September was 9-2 third favourite to top the poll.

But those odds plummeted to 1-5 after 400 bets were staked on the Gunners ace in little over four hours yesterday afternoon.

Leading bookmaker Blue Square suspended betting amid fears of a BBC insider tipping off punters.

Mourinho's targets

The Telegraph has an article looking at who Mourinho is likely to target when he starts work as Inter manager.

The players that could be joining the ‘Special One’ include:

Frank Lampard
Chelsea
Inter badly need a new midfielder to play alongside Esteban Cambiasso, but will need to beat Chelsea’s offer of £130,000 a season.

Samuel Eto’o
Barcelona
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has renewed his contract, but the Italian champions want an out-and-out striker to partner him, and to relieve the 34-year-old Julio Cruz.

Ricardo Carvalho
Chelsea
Jose Mourinho may return to Chelsea to buy a proven defender to shore up Inter’s back four.

Mahamadou Diarra
Real Madrid
The Malian midfielder is thought to be another target after his late return from the African Nations Cup led to a falling-out with Real Madrid.

Ricardo Quaresma
Porto
Inter could offer £30 million for the Portuguese winger. Luis Figo has already nominated him as his successor.

Mourinho joins Inter

Jose Mourinho has been appointed as manager of Inter Milan and has signed a three-year deal.

Inter Milan have just won their third consecutive Serie A title, but in Europe they are lacking and it is hoped that Mourinho can help them in the Champions League.

The only question left now is, how many players will Mourinho take from Chelsea? Drogba and Lampard are strong candidates.
