Mr Q Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Also, AC Milan make no sense, instead of moving out their aging players they are getting rid of one of their younger ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LS Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Still think this won't happen. Who could really replace Kaka? Unless they need the money i'm sure they will reject it. Kaka will lose respect if he moves to city though, f*ck that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Flashheart Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 You could replace your whole squad for 100m though. Madness. And they will still have Micah Richards and Richard Dunne turning out for them every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero001 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Man City ass. manager saying the deal is close on BBC. Manchester City assistant manager Mark Bowen says Brazilian superstar Kaka is "very close" to a world record-breaking transfer from Italian giants AC Milan. A City delegation has been in Italy and reportedly made a bid in the region of £100m for the midfielder. The 26-year-old had earlier vowed to stay at the San Siro but Bowen told BBC Sport Wales: "We believe the deal is very close. "We are selling the future plans of the club to the player." Kaka's adviser Diogo Kotscho said the 2007 Fifa World Player of the Year would be open to a move to Manchester City if Milan wanted to sell. And Mark Hughes' right-hand-man Bowen revealed: "I've read a lot about his love of AC Milan - and that goes without saying - but even when people said the deal was dead, that was not our understanding. "We are still hopeful of still signing Kaka. "The situation has been a surprise to everyone but obviously negotiations have been going on for a fair while. "How close we are I don't know but our understanding is that it is very much a strong possibility that Kaka will be coming to Manchester City."Is he gassin?

Agony Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 The move is still on BBC SPORTMan City 'close' to Kaka signingManchester City assistant manager Mark Bowen says Brazilian superstar Kaka is "very close" to a world record-breaking transfer from Italian giants AC Milan.A City delegation travelled to Italy and reportedly bid about 100m euros for the 26-year-old attacking midfielder.Kaka has said he intends to stay at Milan but Bowen told BBC Sport Wales: "We believe the deal is very close."We are selling the future plans of the club to the player."Kaka's adviser Diogo Kotscho said the 2007 Fifa World Player of the Year would be open to a move to City if Milan wanted to sell.And Mark Hughes' right-hand-man Bowen revealed: "I've read a lot about his love of AC Milan - and that goes without saying - but even when people said the deal was dead, that was not our understanding."We are still hopeful of still signing Kaka."The situation has been a surprise to everyone but obviously negotiations have been going on for a fair while."How close we are I don't know but our understanding is that it is very much a strong possibility that Kaka will be coming to Manchester City."Some media outlets reported that the deal was off because Man City had decided to withdraw their offer to Milan.But Hughes told a news conference on Thursday that the club were continuing their pursuit of the player, insisting that "negotiations are still taking place".Hughes also said he was very much part of discussions to bring Kaka to Eastlands."It would be naive to think I have not been involved in discussions over this transfer. I have had meetings about it and have had an input," said the Welshman."It is impossible to say whether it will go through or not but we will let everyone know when there is something to say."An AC Milan spokesman told BBC Sport on Thursday that they would not be making any further comment on the "special situation".Kaka's representative insists any move to Manchester City would be done for the right reasons and not just for the reported £500,000-a-week wages."It is not impossible, if Milan let us talk, then we will see what City have to offer," Kotscho told BBC 5 Live."Kaka knows about the offer but the club did not give authorisation for talks, so we did not meet."It was a great proposal but it's not about only money."We have to see if Manchester City have a project to become a Champions League team and become one of the top teams in the world, and to stay there long term.""Kaka wouldn't do anything based on money," Kotscho earlier told Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.Previously Kaka had told the website of Mediaset, a TV company owned by Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi how he wanted to stay at the club for life."I want to grow old at Milan," he said."I repeat what I have always said. Other clubs can make all the offers they want but it all depends on Milan."As I have said before, as long as Milan share my goals, I would like to stay here. Then if one day the club wants to sell me, than that would be a different matter altogether."My aim is to become at some point in the future the captain of this team."With Paolo Maldini currently holding the AC Milan skipper's armband, Kaka added: "I know there is a hierarchy and Maldini and (Massimo) Ambrosini are before me, but after..."AC Milan confirmed that their chief executive Adriano Galliani had met officials from City on Tuesday to discuss Kaka's future.In a statement, the Serie A club said: "Galliani received a delegation from Manchester City yesterday in Milan as a gesture of courtesy like always in these cases. There are no talks at the moment."The current record for a player's signature is £46m when France's Zinedine Zidane moved from Juventus to Real Madrid in 2001.Kaka joined Serie A giants Milan from Sao Paulo in 2003 and has since won the league title, Champions League and Club World Cup.The attacking midfielder has scored 86 goals in 244 appearances for Milan. He has also picked up 62 caps for Brazil and scored 23 goals.Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, estimated to be worth £15bn, took over as City owner in September 2008 and extensive funds have been made available to Hughes.However, he has only secured the services of Wayne Bridge in January's transfer window, with bids rejected for West Ham forward Craig Bellamy and Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz.The four-man delegation that travelled to Italy to initiate talks with the Milan officials is believed to have included executive chairman Garry Cook and two representatives of the Sheikh.BBC Radio 5 Live's senior football reporter Ian Dennis says the move underlines Sheikh Mansour's "desire to transform Manchester City", although he added "actually pulling off what would be an incredible coup is another matter entirely".With the club struggling in 15th position in the Premier League, it would give City an incredible boost if they were to seal the deal for one of the world's best players.However, it is thought the move to target Kaka is being driven by the club's top officials rather than Hughes himself.Kaka is under contract at the San Siro until 2013, and although he stated last February that he wanted to remain at Milan for the rest of his career, he did hint at a desire to play in the Premier League - which he has described as the "best championship in the world".Italian football expert Gabrielle Marcotti told BBC Radio 5 Live he believed the City delegation had begun conversations with Milan representatives talking about signing goalkeeper Nelson Dida."As I understand it, they went to Milan supposedly under the ruse of talking about another player and in the course of the conversation they brought up Kaka and said they would be prepared to spend this much," Marcotti said.Story from BBC SPORT:http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/sport1/hi...ity/7830199.stm Now it's offCity withdraw Kaka bid - reportWithdrawal claimed, but assistant boss says deal is 'very close'By James Dall Last updated: 15th January 2009 Manchester City have withdrawn their bid for AC Milan star Kaka, according to reports emanating from the Middle East.Serie A giants Milan confirmed on Wednesday that they had met with a City delegation on Tuesday regarding their interest in Kaka.It was claimed in the media that the Eastlands side were ready to offer a staggering £100million for the Brazilian's signature.Kaka, though, moved to pledge his long-term future to the Rossoneri, although it was suggested a potential deal could still be struck.But on Thursday, arabianbusiness.com, who broke the story of the Manchester City takeover, claimed that the Abu Dhabi-owned club have now ended their interest in 26-year-old and moved onto another target.A source told arabianbusiness.com: "The deal is off, and the offer is no longer on the table."The club is now pursuing another striker which it is very close to signing. Manchester City is about to unveil a new striker, but he is not called Kaka."They won't be getting any money from Manchester City; the club is now talking to someone else and the offer is not there anymore."The source added: "For that [a deal] to happen AC Milan would have to come forward and say they want to sell the player."However, City assistant manager Mark Bowen has been quoted as saying that a move is 'very close'.Bowen said: "We have understood there have been negotiations for a fair while now and as far as we are concerned we believe a deal is very close."http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_4796557,00.html Now it's back on againHughes - Kaka deal still onCity boss refutes reports from Middle EastBy James Dall Last updated: 15th January 2009 Manchester City manager Mark Hughes has said a deal for AC Milan playmaker Kaka could still go ahead.The Brazilian's link with City has taken a number of dramatic twists since reports of an extravagant £100million bid emerged on Wednesday.On Thursday, arabianbusiness.com claimed that the Abu Dhabi-owned club have ended their interest in 26-year-old and moved onto another target.However, assistant boss Mark Bowen was then quoted as saying that a deal to land Kaka was 'very close'.And now Hughes has revealed that the club could still secure the former Fifa World Player of the Year.He said on Sky Sports News: "I've seen these reports but you have to bear in mind that the people who are being given a platform to speak do not represent the owner (Sheikh Mansour) or (chairman) Khaldoon (Al Mubarak)."In my opinion they should not be given a platform to say what they have because in this instance it is completely untrue because negotiations are still taking place."The Welshman added: "It would be naive to think I have not been involved in discussions over this transfer. I have had meetings about it and have had an input."It is impossible to say whether it will go through or not but we will let everyone know when there is something to say."http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11854_4796697,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heero Yuy Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Theres substance to this, as good as Milan are there still way off Inter(squad wise), Juve are improving and will dip into the market come end of the season, Roma and Fiorentina are ever improving. Milan can't buy the players they need, the whole not having the funds to buy Adebayor showed everyone that. 100m could completely rebuild their old ass squad and I actually think they have a ready made replacment for kaka in Gourcuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero001 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thing is, Milan must be thinking hard about that. Swear their league is in trouble. Thats not to say AC themselves are in financial difficulties but that is a lot of money and will Kaka really be that hard to replace? He's a toppa top level baller but surely they cant rely on one player that much. Besides, 100m can buy a whle squadI dont know, I dont watch Serie A, so these are just questions really.For him, its a much easier decision. He doesnt need 500k a week to survive and I respect him a lot for wanting to stay at a club and win titles with ambitions of becoming captain, especially in this day and age where that sh*t doesnt matter - as we saw with Abramovich and Chelsea at the start (see SWP).I so badly want to believe it isnt possible but they've pulled it off before. Its gonna be much harder now that they are failing. Still isnt impossible tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel Kane Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 The thing is, it's not about Gourcuff 'stepping up'...AC Milan are f*cked because they don't wanna drop Ambrosini, Seedorf, Gattuso, Maldini, Favalli & the rest of those ol' f*ckers...And even if they sell Kaka, keeping Ronaldinho will mean they'll have the same problem they have currently, because Ronaldinho & Kaka can't play together. It'll remain the same, because Ronaldinho & Gourcuff won't be able to play together,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
