How does that feeling compare to the signing of Kaka and Ronaldo?

It is 50-50 to be honest.

European football supremo Michel Platini expressed shock Thursday as Real Madrid's world record bid for Cristiano Ronaldo followed hot on the heels of the blockbuster Kaka move.

"These excessive transfers are happening almost every day," said the Frenchman, who as president of UEFA has vowed to clean up the financial side of the game and create a level economic playing field.

"These transfers are a serious challenge to the idea of fairplay and the concept of financial balance in our competitions," said Platini, who as one of the World's top players was lured to Juventus of Italy from French side St Etienne back in 1982.

Platini, who went on to win the European Player of the Year award in 1983, 1984 and 1985 explained that UEFA was planning action to put an end to football's excesses.

"UEFA is working hard with clubs to set up a new set of rules as soon as is possible to clean up the system and give it a more solid, more transparent base," Platini told AFP.

"That is our top priority today."

Platini's comments come after Real Madrid bid 94 million euros (130 million dollars) for Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo Thursday, days after they paid AC Milan 65 million euros for the Brazilian midfielder Kaka.

Blatter has in the past spoken out about the huge sums of money in the game.

But he told a news conference in Johannesburg he saw nothing wrong with the 24-year-old FIFA World Player of the Year's proposed 80 million-pound ($131.2 million) move from Manchester United, which is still to be finalised.

UEFA President Michel Platini said on Thursday the bid for the Portuguese winger was excessive when football was facing severe challenges during a global recession.

Other sports officials also criticised the amount. But Blatter said: "What does 80 million mean when 10 years ago another player with the same name (Ronaldo of Brazil) moved from one club to another for 50 million dollars?.

"It means that there is still a demand to have the stars."

Blatter added: "We are in a very sensitive market, in an economic crisis, but football remains a fantastic product, not just to buy or sell but a product that gives people what they want -- emotions. They want the stars.
