USD150 million
 

Does anybody agree with me that USD150m (my laptop doesn't do pound sterling) is simply far too much to pay for any footballer, especially during the current credit crisis. For those not aware, Man City's Arab owners have offered this much for a 26yo Brazilian playing for AC Milan. Indeed, a similar sum is reportedly on the table for Italy's national goalkeeper too. Kaka would receive USD1.0m per week if he was to accept City's terms. So what happens when he gets injured in training? The insurance premium would be astronomical. What about the effect on team morale? It's madness...but I would be happy to see Kaka come to Eastlands in the summer for a more reasonable sum.

absolutely ridiculous!! football is drama these days if you ask me :(

Re: USD150 million
 

he'll have to be the most amazing player every single week for his whole career to be even worth half of that, it's pretty disgraceful really, in fact it's just unreal.

ridiculous, they end up turning into pretentious little farts and marry even more pretentious attention seeking women, who becomes famous, for doing what exactly

Refined human trafficking...

to be fair, he's a very strict christian who is already married, to his childhood sweetheart and they both stayed virgins before they got married, he also has his own church in Brazil and is going to be a preacher (or whatever) when he retires,

this, funnily enough rises his stock as they know he's very respectable and won't give them any trouble.

Saying that, if he signed for us I reckon he'd be out fighting and shagging down the bigg market in a week :)

and if he weren't we should get rid of him :rofl:

Preachers they are the worst, like priests and nuns, sorry Spugsy, just my opinion

A lot of these footballers start out nice and end up conceited twats and marry the same

Re: USD150 million
 

Is he worth it? Well if he is very tallented at kicking a ball...:)

He'll probably spend all his money on Bentley Continentals, Range Rovers, Coke & Booze and an ugly house so it gets re-cycled.

Re: USD150 million
 

that's what I would do :)

Good article in The Independent today about this

I honestly think City's money could be much better spent elsewhere. Kaka's strike partner Alexandre Pato would be a better investment, and possibly buy Benzema or Aguero as well.

He deserves it for that name.....Kaka, thats what most kids call their poo

Re: USD150 million
 

Yes, I do agree - not because of the sum involved per se, but for a simpler reason...........

............. he's completely overrated. Very inconsistent, too easily marked out of the game, and with nothing like the pace you'd expect.

It is reckoned that Steve Gerrard would cost GBP 50m (if he were available for sale). Kaka twice as good? Er, no, actually.............

And does anyone actually know what is 'best' position is?

No, he neither.............
