If Kaka and Messi moved to the EPL their reputations would drop off rapidly.
In no time they wouldn't be in contention for the WPOTY award.
You mean like Robinho?

Well, an undecided player would certainly think again if they knew they'd be playing alongside Kaka and Robinho. This is part of the reason they are willing to spend so mad on Kaka; no-one can deny they mean business if they sign someone who is universally regarded as one of the best in the world, from one of the biggest clubs in the world.Batman wrote:Rumour has it that if they sign Kaka in Jan then some other big players will also move because of Kaka and ££££££££££££.

Of course, I'm hoping it goes through and then they still manage to get relegated. That would just be hilarious (no offence, goater + cookie - I'm just annoyed that when we're finally getting on the verge of the top 4, another team is going to just jump the queue!)
Also, I'm feeling slightly smug, as I just looked back over the first couple pages of this and I was one of the only non-City fans who didn't completely mock the possibility of this happening, back in November

No one apart from Goats thought so. It's in Kaka's hands now, yesterday he was saying he wanted to grow old at Milan, but £500K a week, he might get old in Manchester.
However if he rejects the move, he'll go down as an even bigger legend with the fans.

Maybe not Kaka, but who knows? If they offer insane money (£80m?) would Milan turn it down? Or the player? A massive payoff might compensate the shame of being out of the CL for a season or two

You wont feel so smug after Kaka turns them down
who would have thought that 3 years ago!And it's not as absurd as it sounds. They have to be a little careful. If they go and buy a whole new team in January, they are relying on it to gel straight off. And even if they 'only' sign Kaka and one or two others, it could still be unsettling for a side which has been very inconsistent all season.Sheffield gunner wrote:Although I'm with debaser here.
