€12m for Bellamy. And it rejected. Things are just getting silly now.

 

[Cormcolash]

My dream of seeing a right hand side of players with afros is still alive.

Big hair 11.

GK: Higuita
RB: Johnson
CB: Puyol
CB: Tommy Caton
LB: Paul Breitner
RM: Pennant
CM: Fellaini
CM: Carlos Valderrama
LM: ???
CF: Keegan
CF: Sócrates

I fully endorse this team. McGrath could easily make the list too in his earlier years.

Could John Barnes be on the left of midfield? He didn't have much of a fro, and for only his early years, but he had it when he did this

If you were to measure his career with the amount of time he sported a fro, he would have to score and then be subbed off after about 10 minutes.

edit: there's not one decent attempt at a tackle before he rolls the ball in. It takes confidence to have a run against Brazil on their own soil, but could this be the most over rated goal of all time?

IF kaka makes the move to city on 500k a week, how long before robinho is asking for the same, and what of all the other big names the want, terry, ronaldo, messi..for example, they'll all want parity with kaka. can man city sustain that? their wage bill will be about 150 million a year. can anyone? can, indeed, football?

 

[Cormcolash]

Personally I can't live on anything less than 500k a week, and I feel like a slave even on that.

Even God doesn't want Kaka to go...

"Famed Brazilian soccer player Kaka is a member of the Reborn in Christ Church and was married there in December 2005. The church can hold around 2,000 worshipers."

would ye get out of that one, and stop listening to the rag papers

 

[krusty411]

bellamy signed for city, de jong tomorrow.

and theres gonna be something announced soon on the kaka deal, both clubs have decided its in the best interest to announce whether he going or staying due to all the protests, one itallian tv station is claiming he has signed. but its a media source so not sure to believe. im only gonna believe it will happen when its officially announced.

 

[krusty411]

oh and also seen on a newcastle forum that some fella claims to be in the know there and that shay given is signing for city this week, all of the newcastle fans seem to be gutted on there. kinda feel sorry for them as hes been the heart and soul of the newcastle team for years

 

[krusty411]

acording to ac milan's tv channel theyve released an un-official statement saying that the dealings between ac milan and manchester city have concluded and kaka is no longer an ac milan player,

 

[Unicron]

The BBC asks, would kaka' make your world 11?

Jesus.

I'm afraid the truth seems to be the exact opposite.

 

[krusty411]

tis all over city called a halt to it, knew it was too good to be true

[krusty411]

seems to me like it was possibly a pr stunt by burluskoni, he's now a hero in milan for keeping kaka

 

[Unicron]

Seems to me that it's a face saving statement by City.

Probably good for the game in general that it hasn't happened but possibly bad for my lot. There's been stories today that City were looking at Arshavin as a fallback in the event that Kaka' didn't come.

 

[krusty411]

i heard that too unicron, who knows,

sky sports news are reporting that kaka was told by some city players not to come to city (elano & jo), then others reckon milan asked for more money, who knows what happened, and by that statement we probably will never know, however burlusconi is claiming its all down to him.

ah fuck it im used to it now, ronaldinho anyone lol

ka ka!

It seems to have dragged on for so long I wouldn't be shocked if it got to the point where Kaka' had to say yes or no.

As for Arshavin. Good player that he is he's hadly the big name that Cooke has been told to go out and buy. Ireland and Robihno have been good together, dunno if Hughes would want to disrupt that. Obviously for Kaka' an exception would be made.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

obviously they should now turn their attention to Roberto Carlos and Mark Viduka.

 

[Hector Grey]

well, that was quick, robinho storms out, probably asking why kaka deserves 500k pw and he doesn't. stupid sheik bastards.
