It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than Kaka to enter Eastlands.

"So Mr Hughes, where can I park My Ferrari?"
Milan's TV Channel are saying the club are considering an offer of €120m
Over £100million
MADNESS!
I'm sure that won't take much consideration...it's up to Kaka to put a stop toall this shite...which he won't. Milan will force him out.
Might as well say £120m.
And Milan are definitely going to deal... they aren't considering anything..
except maybe how to spend all that money.
If Madrid wasnt Ronaldo they would have to pay us over £160m surely, If Kaka is worth £120m
City are incredibly thick.
How are they trying to low-ball West Ham for Bellamy at the same time as fecking up the international market by bidding over a tenth of a billion on another player?
If this goes through (it will) the summer window is going to be absolutely mental.
Spoony said Messi, I reckon they'll go after him or Ronaldo for sure.
Just how much will they throw at us and Barca in that instance!?
The transfer market has officially gone bonkers !
£120 million ffs !
£120 million ffs !
Probably not knowing our player price selling record, plus City are paying a premium I would guess because they have the unlimited wealth of Dubai's oil fields behind them.
If this deal goes through, the pressure on Kaka is going to be huge. Every bad pass will be spoken about and criticised in the press. Considering Berbatov gets criticised and we spent much, much less than over 100 million on him.
If City get Kaka it will be a sad day for world football, and I mean that honestly. It'll be the death knell of the transfer market.
Milan would be crazy not to accept that offer it just drives up Ronaldo price Madrid can't be happy about this.
I actually think the pressure will be on Hughes and Shitty to deliver, not Kaka'.
Hughes is really treading on thin ice now because those Arabs are going to want a marquee manager and not someone like Hughes.
A lot of people on here were suggesting £100million+ for Ronaldo in summer, so it's a bit rich saying that this is obscene.
Either way, a salary cap needs bringing in. If City were to be relegated, which isn't too far from reality, from a completely unbiased viewpoint, it'll destroy the club, who's to say that these owners would stay with a Championship club? The value of the club would fall through the floor, their academy would be destroyed. With a cap, even if Milan accepted the bid, Kaka would say no, since what a terrible club to be at.

we should enter into negotiations, just bid £150 forcing city to spend even more
Trevor Francis was the first British £1 million pound transfer when he moved from Birmingham City to Nottingham Forest in February 1979.
x 100 30 years later!

Sky just said that apparently City are offering Kaka's dad and the agents etc.. a further £30m on top of the £120m

Well, if Milan have accepted such a substantial bid, then I see no reason why the likes of Barca and Manchester, won't follow suit, if City show an interest in the likes of Ronaldo and Messi. It's beyond crazy, it really is. If I were Fergie or the Glazers, I'd be planning ahead just in case. Although, it still depends on whether Messi or Ronaldo(or Kaka for that matter) are willing to move. But money does talk. And you're right about Sparky. I think he's a dead man walking. I can't see him in charge at the beginning of next season. They want megastars. Mourinho does indeed fit the bill.
It's Madrid's galactico policy X 10000.
And to think, we work are arses off, for peanuts.
Imagine ploughing the €120million into an academy/training facilities...!
Your saying "peanuts" figuratively right. Because if not, we may want to have a word with your boss on your next pay cheque
but £150 million with the bonuses and all that. Insane.
No, I actually meant peanuts. Good job I like peanuts eh.
If thats true, any integrity that poor old Football had just flew out the window.
THE PEOPLES CLUB.
HAHA this is actually quite brilliant
We're no angels when it comes to signing players for big money, but as a club we've spent what we've earned. There can be satisfaction in that, as we've built the team up, then exploited the market and used the money to continue to grow....what City and Chelsea do is an absolute piss take. Where's the sense of achievement when they do actually win something? They won't win anything because they're a good club built on solid foundations, they'll win because they snapped up every half decent player at ridiculous prices. Talk about hollow.
Very very dissapointed with Hughes in all of this, backing the deal. To be expected really but you'd hope he'd acknowledge the fans...this deal is going to effect every single match going football fan, as prices are going to be fecking crazy as teams try compete. Absolute fecking insanity. Clubs will sturggle, as I reckon we're already at a limit as to how much clubs can charge for a match. Any more and more and more fans will simply not go.

Hughes is struggling. He has access to 'the pot of gold' and is looking for players from Blackburn and Newcastle. Everything I hear suggests he wants to recruit allies, further suggesting that he's struggling to handle some of the egos that have been recruited over his head.
Hughes is one of my all time favourite players and I'd love to see him succeed as a manager, even with The Massives (within reason), but I fear his days are numbered. He should pack up now and become Fergies No. 2
For the sake of arguement lets say the owners are prepared to buy Kaka for insane money and he actually accepts, does anyone REALLY believe the same owners are going to keep a manager thats won feck all except manager of the month?
Hughes is finished and he knows it, I feel for the guy but he's not good enough to manage a club with the pretentions of the new owners.
So yes, you're spot on.
What's the catch?
Well, let's not go that far... but we do show up for work almost every day we're supposed to.
We'd all die laughing.
You can basically draw up a fooballing who's who and see which ones they manage to get. Benzema and Villa surely have to be in there as well. Their wage bill will be absolutely astronomical.
The probability of them almost completely gutting the squad and rebuilding it has to be extremely high.
If they can offer £120m for Kaka, I'm sure they'd go almost double for Messi or Ronaldo.
He will go, I would bet the house on it.
He can't not got.
Milan will ship him out, for that kind of money it would be irresponsible not to.
I also think it is an absurd amount of money, I also laugh at people who think only specific clubs are entitled to success.
If a salary cap and transfer cap come into effect United as one of the top clubs in the world ends. It will be over.
I don't think you Europeans really understands what happens when the money is all the same.
Look at North American sports. They are all salary capped, there are no dynasties that span decades. One decade is as likely to be dominated by the worst teams in the league from the decade before.
It is called parity and it sucks.
Everything becomes cyclical as teams have to manage salaries. One of the reasons why the PL is so compelling are these age old rivalries that actually mean something.
City's plan is not sustainable but who are we to judge what City is doing, crying about City spending big is like most other clubs in the PL crying that WE can spend big, relative to them.
If City has to pull a Chelsea for half of a decade to become a perennial threat in the PL I welcome it. It will just make Manchester the center of the footballing universe. Derbies will be epic and all the more sweet when we win.
Fair play to city, I know if we had this kind of financial backing we'd have 100 muppet threads a day about Messi/Kaka/Ibra etc, etc, etc.

Not if a salary cap is brought in in proportion to the clubs income...
Say, x% of revenue is allowed to be spent on wages
Say, x% of revenue is allowed to be spent on wages
That's because your salary cap is unrelated to incomes. UEFA's or FIFA's idea was to introduce a rule by which a salary cap would be given to each club on the basis of their yearly income. And as we all know big clubs tend to have big incomes, teams like United, Madrid and Milan are top of the list, while you wouldn't find City nowhere near it.
It's generally connected to the amount of fans that a club have because fans generate those incomes, so there's no reason why it would prevent big clubs from thriving.
To begin with I assumed there'd just be no way he would go to City but Milan won't be able to turn down the numbers being offered and will wrap him up in a big bow and take him to Eastlands themselves. He won't stay if he knows the club have accepted an offer and would rather he leave.
Its mental, I remember playing Champ Manager back in the day and offering crazy ammounts like this to try and land fat Ronaldo.

Championship Manager has invaded real life
Will be extremely difficult for him to ever live up to the expectations.
He's a brilliant player, but he's not a Messi who'll just impress from day one by doing whatever he feels like on the pitch.
Will be very interesting to follow him in the league if the deal goes through.

A bad day for football if this happens,potential to wreck the game.
