well TBH u are just considering one aspect what abt kaka agents and stuff who want his wages to be raised further more one of his spokesman always discusses stuff with other clubs and milan always used to stop them this time they accepted it i mean Milan never put kaka on sale... Man city talks to his spokesman and he starts everything if kaka was so desperate to stay in milan he should have told all his agents that he does not want to move on and they should not approach or talk to anyother club
I think you're totally missing the point so I'll explain again what happened. Every time a club has made an offer for Ricky the club has refused and his dad has demanded a pay rise for Ricky to stay. This time around man city made a massive offer and Ricky's dads eyes lit up! Of course his dad went straight to the management and tried to demand another pay rise. The management basically said "it's us or them" hence that is why his dad has pushed for the deal.
Kaka has been a pawn in an ego battle between berlusconi and his dad.
I also think that berlusconi had something like this planned since we signed R80, I think he must have put the feelers out because this deal has flown through very quickly. The only one who I actually think tried to derail this is Galliani - ironically the one who will get all the stick!
