That would be a new low. Even for Berlusconi and Galliani. At the very least I want this transfer window to be over as soon as possible. I'll get my sleep back for the next six months. Sheesh.

hey alll ... i think real madrid are on the race to get kaka too :S :S :S ; they are ready to give an equal bid of man city's ... :S .... holla!

Very true

As for Silvio, like I said before, he knows how to bend everything around to accomodate him and he knows how to feed people information he wants them to know.

I think it's all a waiting game now.

But whether this whole fiasco was engineered by Silvio or not, I'm sure Kaka won't appreciate being used this way, and he won't appreciate having a price on his head. He will leave in the summer if he doesn't this January. And personally I wouldn't hold a grudge if he does push for a transfer come summer.

No matter how this ends...there's one thing I'm convinced of. ManCity owner is destroying football. He's destroying footballs very soul. I hate that guy for doing that. He has no clue about football whatsoever. he doesn't know anything about history, prestige, dignity... Shame on you Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

i want Galliani fired!

Galliani: Kaka solves credit crunch

Milan general manager Adriano Galliani was verbally abused by angry fans, but explains why he would never have sold Kaka a year ago and is now reconsidering.

“Milan and Kaka have not signed anything with Manchester City. As for me, I have the same feelings as the fans and love this club, but as general manager I have to keep sentiment and reasoning together.

“I believe a football club should live off its own resources and not a magnate, as when the patron is no longer able or willing to spend immense sums, things can crumble.”

Galliani was in the stands for Saturday night’s 1-0 win over Fiorentina and at half-time had to be protected by stewards as hoards of furious supporters shouted abuse and waved cash at the transfer guru.

He had said a year ago when Real Madrid made a record-breaking offer that he did not want to be remembered as the man who sold Kaka.

With £108m on the table Galliani is now apparently willing to accept that fate in the Rossoneri history books.

“Nothing has happened to push him towards Manchester. We are in a particularly difficult time with financial problems all over the world and those spread to football.

“What has changed from a year ago? Quite simply, the world is worth half of what it was. Things have changed.”

At the final whistle, all the Milan players took turns to hug Kaka in what felt increasingly like a farewell.

The banners at San Siro ranged from ‘Ricky, grow old with us’ and ‘This is your home’ to insults against the club.

Newspapers have suggested a shopping list with the £108m, including Emmanuel Adebayor, Gael Clichy and Michael Essien, but Galliani warned the money would not be splashed out.

“It is impossible to replace Kaka and there is no point getting a second-rate player. If he leaves then we would go on without him, but Kaka has not left yet.”

“There is no point making hypotheses over what Milan would do with the money, now we have to consider what to do.

“There are debts and they have to be paid. I think a virtuous club should cover its expenses with its own income.

“Unfortunately football is built in a certain way so now you cannot carry on without the cheques from a patron, as other clubs keep on raising the financial bar.”

Milan’s money comes from patron Silvio Berlusconi, but as he has been elected Prime Minister of Italy, he cannot direct so many resources to the side.

Galliani seemed tired and down after the 1-0 victory and emerged to hundreds of fans chanting slogans against his administration.

“No, it will not be an easy night for me, nor will those to come.”

So silvio is not going to spend or is not willing to spend? It seem s to me he has got all he could out of Milan and has lost his interest in it. Perhaps he should sell up to someone who is willing to invest in this great club and make it great once again?!?

Facebook group - 'Don't let Kaka leave' Here

Brilliant idea, perhaps he should sell it right to the sheiks of Arabia. That way Kaka can stay!!

Pippo is right....Berlsuconi might not be at his best right now(and certainly wasn't during past couple of years9 but I don't see any real alternative. Milan owned by some jerk who wants to play FM? No thanks!

what a jerk : gazzetta said that the offer is 55 and no 110 and MR GRANDioso SHEIKH doesnt have such a money !



what is happening in this world ?

If they give Kaka away for 55M then they are more than stupid and I will insult them as much as I can!!!!!

We'll form a gang

This is utterly rediculous!!! 55M??!!!!!

with about 100 million last year from Real there wasnt any debt but now with the same money or lower there is very seriuos debts and we must heard and obey ECONOMIC THEORIES FROM A BUSINESS MAN named GALLIANI!


sorry Mr Galliani but people are not stupid !

Even Captain will join us; no doubt

Thing is everything we have been led to believe(Milan family, not selling best players etc) has all been a pack of lies and we're no different to any other club. In fact without berlusconi's money what is the point of him being here? I'd sooner someone take over who had some ambition and some financial clout to back themselves up. It seems berlusconi doesn't need Milan anymore.

Is £108m Kaka bid a hoax?

Manchester City sources suggest the £108m offer for Kaka is a “ridiculous” story drummed up by the media and Milan also refuse to state the figures.

“There is an official bid on the table and it has gone through all the proper channels, but I will not tell you what it entails,” said general manager Adriano Galliani.

The Observer newspaper has made remarkable allegations that Milan patron Silvio Berlusconi's media empire sparked the rumours so that he would gain positive publicity when Kaka turned it down.

If the Brazilian does quit San Siro, then the club can say it was because of a record-shattering transfer fee that more than doubles the £46m paid by Real Madrid for Zinedine Zidane from Juventus.

However, the reports in the English newspapers claim Manchester City's offer is closer to £50m than £108m.

"The reports are absolutely ridiculous and so far wide of the mark it's unreal," said a source close to City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

"Kaka would command a price around that of previous world-best players. But at the moment it is difficult to pick an exact number.

"A hundred million, in pounds or Euros, is ridiculous. It doubles the previous record for a transfer and, in the current economic climate, how could there possibly be a return on that or a salary of £500,000 a-week?

“You could do so much else with that amount of money. And, whatever happens, there would be no lump sum payment: payments would be over time.

"You have to remember also that the player has not even been spoken to by us - he is simply one of a list that interests Mark Hughes.

“We merely said, 'Ok, this might be nice.' It's a process like viewing a house. If you like what you see, then you take it on a stage. It should be remembered that Manchester City's owner is an intelligent man. He will not just throw money at anything.”

Intellectual property rights are another sticking point that could be worth £20m per year for Kaka, as he already has sponsorship deals with Armani and Adidas.

Oh dear!

SERFIO RAMOS + 80 mln euro = RICARDO KAKA??

Huge offer from Real Madrid.

SportMediaset.it

Would I be being cynical if I thought this what the management were after?????

Some people here are really fast when it comes to convictions of something. And some of you also have a very special choice of the things you believe and those you don't. Some article says "Milan sell Kaká for 55 million" -->You believe it. Another article says "Kakás father wants him at ManCity"-->It's a dirty lie.


Do you really believe this?A pack of lies? Hasn't there been enough prove for it in the past? Sheva came back while he could have earned more money in Arabia. We sticked to Pippo, Ambro etc. while we didn't have to. And didn't Pippo pay that confidence back in Athens? Why do so many players still feel connected with Milan although they're not playing for us any more like Rui Cost for example? Oh I know...cause it's all a lie.

I'd rather see the club in the midfield of Serie A than being some Sheiks (or Russian oil baron or whatever) toy. FACT!

But it was ok when berlusconi used Milan to gain popularity. Oh the irony.

Fact is that berlusconi didn't do what he did for the love of Milan, more so that his popularity would increase and that is a fact.

Absolutely not.

I've never been a fan of Berlusconi which I stated numerous times. And what you say...it's true. He used the club to increase his own popularity. But he also created an image of the club which we all came to like. If some other guy takes over...this will all be gone and we're simply going to be one of those newly rich clubs. Are we in a bad situation? Yes. Can it be much worse? Certainly.

+1 to what La Palma has been saying. Well done. Fishdoll offers a carrot to Humboldt.

this huge fuss !!!!! for nothing ? why are they doing this ? end of the game ? Kaka's case is only a tool .

And Humboldt is...

You have two options. Take my guess, or wait for acid to google and wiki it for you and give you a detailed answer that is 82% of the time accurate.

My guess is it's either an obscure brand of cookie or an alcoholic beverage.

So, "Fishdoll is offering a carrot to a cookie or an alcoholic beverage".. wait, it doesn't make sense!

Fishdoll language doesn't make sense... It's a language only crazy people understand. I think fishdoll wears a helmet.

No, Fishdoll doesn't wear a helmet. He wears a little foil pirate hat. He thinks it goes nicely with his Chiellini jersey.

I'm talking about how he likes to be disliked! like Saywer in Lost! (have you watched it?). "If he leaves then we would go on without him" wtf does that mean? don't you really feel like punching him in the eye? because, no matter if he's lying or telling the truth, I do



Wait amigo, he also said, in the very same interview, that as long as the club want him, and the objectives remain the same [which is Milan winning], he will stay. he said those things too. WHY don't you mention that?

And also, he said "maybe one day". in my opinion that means "one day, when City are a force to be reckoned with/when City are playing in the CL/etc. [I will leave IF they don't want me around anymore]" not "one day when City are fighting relegation" do you really think he's THAT STUPID to leave Milan for THIS City?

OK, there are three possible scenarios:

1. Tennie suffers from a bad case of multiple personality disorder.

2. Tennie is both a dude and lady. In that case dst would be a faithful and eligible suitor.

3. There are real dolls with intellect and opinion in this world. The cookie monster is real and I've been told lies all my life.

I don't know which one I prefer. Probably 3, because that would be AWESOME! I would ally with the cookie monster and we would declare war on sea creature dolls! Bring it on biatch!

We can't sell Kaka especially now, when only 6 points to Top. We have big chanses to win scudetto.

I'm afraid we will keep making mistakes...

Make that +2 with me. It's really rational.

Let me clear things up a little:

1. Let me slap all of you for not knowing the great Alexander von Humboldt
2. Humboldt is my girlfriends new bunny

Actually I googled Humboldt and found out that there are a couple of people named Humboldt. but couldn't figure out how Fishdoll could offer them a carrot!

Could this be a good omen ? Or what does 440MM pounds mean to him

I didn't know he was that young though !! Older than me in one year


EDIT: A recent photo of him (he is the one in the center)

I hope it's a good omen. and I doubt, no matter how rich he is, 440M doesn't mean anything to him. these small figures (!) made them what they are now.

First there was that story and then there was the story that he hadn't actually offered €108m but more in the region of €50m! Perhaps after losing that much in one hit he decided to downgrade his offer?

correction hehe .. He was born like this

Ever heard of people born with a golden spoon in their mouths ?

Selling Kaka helps us to resolve problem with debts as Galliani said. No megatransfers. But where was Galliani earlier with talks about debts?

LOL!

No, but I've heard of people born with a golden spoon in their, um, other parts of the body!

Is this an attack on a mod? IS IT? IS IT? I'm a very fair person, but this is pushing it. If you are trying to overthrow me, then you have another thing coming man... I have spies crawling all over this place. Watch your back.

Nope. False alarm.


Oh, shizzle. Gotta watch every step now!

LOL now galliani has called the supporters who demonstrated ungrateful! What did he expect? Funny that he was the one who said "I don't want to be remembered as the one who sold Kaka" and yet he's the one trying to get rid of him!

What a hypocrite.

Oh, of course. how silly of me!
