Ricardo Kaka Thread

Hey, I just noticed something before going to sleep ...

IF all that story is true and that Kaka' doesn't know what to do, I think Wigan (7th) could help him to choose !! Look at that:

15 - Manchester City - 22
16 - Middlesbrough - 21
17 - Stoke City - 21
18 - Tottenham - 20
19 - Blackburn - 18
20 - West Bromwich -18

Blackburn-Newcastle -> Blackburn wins
Chelsea-Stoke City -> Draw
Manchester City-Wigan Athletic -> Wigan explodes MC
West Bromwich-Middlesbrough -> Middlesbrough wins
Tottenham-Portsmouth -> Tottenham wins

With these results, Manchester City would be 18th ... the choice would be quickly done.

This is one thing people dont think about. Also apart from Robinhio none of their players are even near to Kaka. Maybe Elano, but he cant even get in the side now. Kaka has already missed champions league for one season, does he want to miss it again?

Man City claimed they have a project. LOL. When has project ever worked out when you don't have something solid?

It just shows you again that money can't buy you anything. Yes - it can buy you some of the best players but, alas, you can't buy the trophie

I can only talk from a Juve fan's perspective.
There was a time when i was prepared to kill just to see Kaka out of Milan. Today it's a lot different. Milan are doing bad enough with Kaka in the team. Two things can happen if you sell Kaka. You can make your team much better than it is, even if you won't find a player equally good and important as Kaka is, or as Dev mentioned, you'll face trouble buying top class players because the teams will make their prices go sky high, knowing that there are teams like Man City and Milan with 100mil to spend.
I don't want to gamble on this one and risk a much stronger Milan, so for me it's for the best if things stay as they are.

As for Zidane, every situation is different and at this early stage we can only compare the feelings of the fans. Juve fans were angry and broken during the Zidane transfer saga and after Zidane left, just like Milan fans will be if Kaka leaves. As for what will happen after that, we don't know if Milan will replace Kaka equally well as Juve replaced Zidane. If you ask me now then i'll tell you i'm glad Juve sold Zidane because i can still watch and enjoy the fruits of that sale, Buffon and Nedved. If you sell Kaka maybe you'll say these same things i'm saying now after 7 years or maybe you'll still be asking yourself: How could the idiots sell him? .
I feel for you now though, because i know what are you going through. Juve fans may easily go through the same, knowing how sooner or later they'll probably go after Buffon or Chiellini.

Those Arabs from City should just buy Zlatan and Maicon and leave everything as it is in serie A

I cant bealive that they are doing this... this smell like ****...


Despite the astronomical amounts of money being offered, former World Player of the Year Kaka, 26, is said by Mirror Sport's sources to be unhappy about the move, feeling that he is being pressurised into leaving a team he helped win the Champions League in 2007 for one embroiled in a battle to avoid relegation


Not the armed guard, but all the Italian military, can't save Galliani now...



KAKA- we'll always love you...

He won't leave now. He should leave just before the WC for the benefit of Milan. His value will be much more then. Anyways, there are reports in goal.com that Milan are trying to sub Kaka for Gourcuff which is ridiculous. Gourcuff is going to replace Seedorf for sure. Milan should offer players like Favalli, Seedorf, Inzaghi, Kaladze and Jankulovski at the end of this season for the Man City project!!!

That should amount to at least 20M

Ladies and gentlemen - I have tried to put all my emotion aside in order to wrap my head around this crazy news. Emotion or not, boys and gals - there are 2 drivers in football, namely: the business of football and the football played on the pitch. When it comes to the transfer market, the business of football more often than not always wins out.

I was first shocked into disbelief. Then wondered how this wonder of a footballer could leave. I’m resigned to the fact that he will leave - if not in January then the summer. Milan has signaled their intent to sell, in what will be a seismic shift in the world of football. If Kaka goes for a $150M plus, how much will Messi and Cristiano go for? (Discuss amongst yourselves). These are the top 3 players in the world.

If and when we sell Kaka, we might not feel the impact immediately. But as Ronaldinho fades, and by his play lately shows he is quickly heading down that road - we will be searching high and dry for a trequartista. Enter - Kun Aquero. Attacking midfielders - the kind that create and score in the double digits are a rare breed. All of you remember right before the Rui Costa signing, how filling the hole behind the 2 strikers was the big hole in our team that needed to be filled? We signed Rui and even though he gave us some descent seasons, he still wasn't up there with the very best.

With Ricardo, we got him young and nurtured him. He has excelled amongst a strong core of players like: Pirlo, Rino, Nesta, Kala and the intro of Pato. Key building blocks for bringing in new talent. His loss will definitely leave a crater. The pain might not be felt now, but when Ronaldinho is gone and Pato is has no supply chain we will go looking for another Kaka. Hopefully we won't have spent all of the $150M.

Kaka is a special young man. Work ethic through the roof, model citizen and there is a strand in my being that believes character will win out and he will stay (not that his character will be any less if he leaves). But, the cake is baked, Milan has signaled intent and Kaka is on his way to the EPL. I'm not one of those people who wishes Man. City languishes when he leaves, I do hope he is a success. And he sure will be.

Tony, Kaka staying is probably worse than him leaving as far as Juve are concerned. Look at the times he's not on the pitch this season and you'll see Milan are pretty pathetic without him. Even if he's not at his best, he's not the problem of the team, and in fact is playing a major part in helping us to actually get some results.

If he leaves now, Milan won't have someone to take his place for this season, and it's very likely Pato's impact will drop without Kaka drawing defenders away. I really don't see us getting anything this season without him, and very realistically I see us losing CL spot.

No, i was talking next season actually, not this season. There is no doubt that Milan will suffer till the end of 2008/2009 if they sell Kaka this January.
If Juve stands any chances to win the scudetto, which is debatable, then i don't see Milan as Juve's rivals this year and that's why it doesn't make much difference to me if Kaka leaves or not, but it will make a big difference from next year, especially if Kaka's sale results with Milan not getting a CL spot and plays the next season concentrated on serie A only.

I noticed that big majority of Juve fans share my opinion and most of us would prefer Milan to keep Kaka, instead of selling him for +110 mil.

Selling Kaka would be positive for the club only if we have Moggi in management, this way we will just end with a bunch of Oliveiras, and half of the money won't be spend because of high taxes in Italy, economic crisis and other Uncle Fester's excuses...

The difference between this and the ZZ deal was that Milan is not known as a club that sells its stars for profit. If Kaka is gone after tonite, it is very interesting to see whats the excuse Galli will say, b/c quite frankly broken promises and bad signings is one thing but being a complete villian is another.

The thing that worries me the most if the deal goes through is not us losing Kaka, it could actually mean the allegations against Berlu about match fixing scandal will resurface this summer, which will lead to Milan being relegated and thats why Berlu and Galli wants to sell Kaka now for 120Mpounds instead of a cutthroat price.

What do you think about that Tony?

Kaka gone :@
Nell'incontro avvenuto ieri tra il Presidente del Consiglio Silvio Berlusconi e il presidente della Camera Gianfranco Fini si è parlato anche di calcio.
Vendere o no Kakà? "Probabilmente - ha confidato il premier- dovrò venderlo. Quelli del Manchester City gli hanno fatto una proposta da capogiro. Oltre quindici milioni d’euro netti l’anno di ingaggio. Se non lo vendo mi saltano tutti gli equilibri della squadra. Rischio di perderlo senza neanche guadagnarci niente. Solo che debbo tenere conto dei tifosi. Debbo trovare un colpo sul mercato. Vedremo".

berlu, i will hate you FOREVER if this goes through.

Do you honestly think Berlu will spend any of the money he makes?

Oh please remember Sheva!

Did Pato come with Sheva's money?
