The Torres quote made me laugh to be honest. Seedorf at Milan knows him a lot better than Torres, as does Ronaldinho. They have both come out and said that Kaka sees us as a challenge, if he leaves he wants a big project. looks like that is the line we have told them to all start peddling. ;) Anyway, I thought Kaka had won the champions league, Seria A, the world cup and the world player of the year already at 26? must be a different Kaka then. Oh, and as for The Suns, I prefer Manure quotes. Taken from Esquire October 2007 http://18yards.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/ka...er-of-the-year/

We are in for De Jong from hamburg. this will allow us to play Kompany in defense. he is even better there. We do need a central defender or 2 as well though. We are working hard on Lescott.

Well thats just it. We are completely in their hands. At the moment it is good times so I am relishing it. Its better than being 2 weeks away from administration. In the future, who knows?! You are not certain at the moment either. Maybe our owners will learn from Romans mistakes? I really don't see them pulling out, they have said its a lifetime project and have been as good as their word. they have also stuck with Hughes, much to the bafflement of myself and the fans. they are doing ok in my eyes.

You are a very naive young man or jealous. We didn't set this precedent, we are just outplaying those that did at their own game. I never hated Chelsea, in fact I applauded the way you brought the likes of Drogba here and I was excited to be able to see the likes of Crespo and Shevchenko all though they did not work out well. You sound very bitter, but you have a short memory. You have offered these figures to Milan in the past, albeit not in one lump but ultimately the same cost. You have numerous players on over 120k a week. Is Ballack worth what you pay him? Who was the last player you brought through your youth academy? I think you need to take a step back from the daily mirror for a minute and calm down. To the other poster, i can only hope we continue to have great offers, Kids for a quid has been great in the area, and contrary to popular believe we have our own care in the community scheme where we donate plenty of money and arrange outings and training sessions for under privileged and disabled children.

He is not being forced anywhere. He can still turn us down. It is up to him. I wouldn't be surprised if he did reject us and then the world can go on a happy place until Madrid try and sign him for a similar figure in the summer, which of course will not be an outrage. People seem to forget we have Robinho and Elano and Jo, He has friends here that will have spoken to him. Its not like poor little Kaka is going to be put in rainy ol Manchester while being prodded with a stick, with our owner chanting dance, monkey boy dance is it?

Evening all. There are conflicting reports everywhere right now. everyone trying to second guess the story. There are even conflicting reports through Mediaset over wether Kaka will play tomorrow night. I know for a fact he has spoken with us today and is impressed by what he has heard. Monday is the official line from the club when we meet his father to discuss further. This has been going on for weeks. If anything it is hopefully to finalize the deal. the milan PR machine has gone into overdrive releasing snippets of information. Every interview being given mentions how good the money will be for Milan should he decide to leave. Even Ancelotti. Not the sort of thing you want to hear from your manager when your star player is linked with a move away. Who knows eh? If he doesn't play tomorrow then it will speak volumes.

Glad i got 10/3 on him signing seeing as we are odds on now.

HAHA. Nice insight. Head under a rock have we?

Well we will soon find out won't we. Fingers crossed on the Hughes front.

Sorry lads, im a little delirious right now! His agent has confirmed we have permission and he will talk to us!! Stupid money, but how much does Lewis Hamilton earn for driving in a circle?

Sorry mate, my words weren't intended to be high and mighty. I just think we are talking about figures completely unheard of. One interesting point though. Madrid are rumored to want to pay 100 million for Tranaldo. that is not seen as disgusting or vulgar. why is it when City are about to pay the same it is the end of the game?

No offense mate, but our owner is in a different stratosphere to yours. We have an entire collective backing us, just a singular in that collective has a personal fortune that dwarfs Romans. Essentially I suppose we are their plaything. At this moment in time we are not about balance sheets. I've heard all the, "what if they get bored" lines. Who knows. Do you really, honestly think we will pay him 500k a week? Not a chance. His agent went onto 5 live a couple of hours ago and said it is not only about money, it is about 'the project.' If he comes he will be part of that. Its a given he will be sacrificing Champions League next season he did it this year and doesn't seem to fussed. Anyway, there are plenty of twists left to come, denials and positives. At least it has opened up a good debate. If we pull it off, we have of course ruined football. Funny how when you were linked you weren't ruining the game. The game being, don't upset the top four stranglehold.

How much were you lot quoted that was rejected out of hand? It is not down to him to determine the fee, as you learnt with Robinho. It is up to his club. They name a price and we will accept it.

Story is mutating all the time. original quotes were taken out of context. Kaka is basically quoted as saying that should AC Milan accept the offer he will talk to us. It is up to AC Milan to accept our offer. According to his agent on five lieve we "have an exciting project." yes he would be mental to join us. But to be honest, I don't give a flying f**k, he can come and play with the other mentalist Robinho.

http://fourfourtwo.com/news/england/23356/default.aspx That is the main point. Thes quotes are old. Believe me. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/sports/200 ... 381115.htm http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubf ... 01959.html http://kakathegreat.com/ All the quotes are pieced together from those articles in my opinion. Berlusconi is about as straight as 'Arry when it comes to the truth.

Take a look who that statement was released by and come back to me and tell me honestly if you don't think there is something more than a little suspicious about it.

You called it perfectly. Berscolini has released a quote from Kaka, through his mediaset website stating that 'Kaka wants to grow old at Milan." good call. However this is along way from being over.

Tell me about it mate. We were battling against them for Ronaldinho in the summer. Galliani is even worse. i expect more twists to come. But this story has gone further than any before about Kaka. The fact there has not been any cold flat denial by them makes me think we are trying to keep a lid on the negotiations. I know they have been going on for over 3 weeks. Yesterdays breaking news is just the first genuine sniff that the media have got of it. Leaked by none other than....... 'Arry Benttwat. What a c**t. http://www.sport.co.uk/news/Football/12604...Kaka_talks.aspx

From what I know, we have deals lined up for other so called superstars which hinge on this deal coming off. Wether the superstar route is the way to go is only going to be known in a couple of years. We should be strengthening the defense. We are second highest scorers behind yourselves. Another attacking midfielder is perhaps not what we need. A spine is what is required. I care if we are signing the likes of Bellamy and Parker for 100k a week. Clearly seeing us as a final pay cheque. Those players will be of no use in a few years when they hit their 30's. I have no concerns that the likes of Robinho and hopefully Kaka are signing for the pay cheque. They are young players with their peaks ahead of them. For that reason we will only benefit. There has to be interest from the playing side. Kaka has had plenty of time to think us over and he seems very interested. obviously the monumental sums of money but, he finished behind Torres and Ronaldo in the world player of the year awards. Maybe he fancies rising to the challenge of the premier league. We are the only club who can actually afford the fee that is set.

God i love that yellow tracker bar on SSN. "Kaka Spokesman. Kaka will talk to Man City if fee is agreed." Open cheque book time!!!!

Oh I will mate, however i know it wont last forever. It is looking very likely, I am pinching myself at the moment. Although I would still like us to bring through the likes of Sturridge and Richards. kaka is one hell of statement though. I expect there to be a fair few twists and turns over this deal though. There will be plenty of no marks who have no bearing on the deal denying it.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/footbal...ka-1334461.html The Berscolini quotes to his sports media outlet late last night pretty much confirm we are talking about a price. Im sorry if I shouldn't be "here," our offer has not been rejected and it looks as though we will be paying cash up front. Nobody can match that, not even Roman. As an earlier poster said. He really isn't a signing in a key area, but its Kaka!!!! I think should this transfer come through it will open up other avenues to us previously unreachable due to our position. Kaka will be signing for the project, everybody knows we are a long way short of Champions league and consistent european finishes. However, if we sign a world class CB, holding Midfielder and Striker then who is to say we wont be next season? Kaka is open to the move, having Robinho here makes it far more credible. Sorry for the excitement. I know some of you felt if he were to sign for anyone it would be for yourselves.

Old news mate. Berscolini has released a statement to his media outlet stating we have made our proposal. It has not been rejected. 100 million!!! Bargain!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats the in joke about Ireland then? There are a few rumours about Dunnie. The main one being that he is back drinking again, which is slightly worrying. He is also covering for Richards and Ball. Thank god for Bridge, at least he can more than take care of himself. i think he has been exposed alot this season, he was good in a team that were compact and didn't like to venture forward, now he has to really stand up, f**king rubbish in all honesty.
