AC to MC...?

Just saw Sports Centre on ESPN. It seems that AC Milan is considering an offer from Manchester City for their star player Kaka for 175 million pounds!




















That's a lot of money and I'm sure Kaka is worth his huge price tag, but Manchester City?! Is Kaka serious? Or has Kaka gone Koo Koo?
















No disrespect to Manchester City, but if you are a star player of high pedigree from a World Cup winning country where football is breathe in like the fresh air, or is treated like a religion-a top club with a rich history, tradition & champion pedigree would be a more logical & suitable choice.



Europe is not short of clubs that fit the bill above-Real Madrid, Barcelona, and of course Manchester United are huge clubs with all those mentioned qualities.







































I wouldn't even blame Kaka should he choose to head to Liverpool or Arsenal or even Chelsea, but Manchester City?


Again no disrespect to Man.City, but just because you have tons of money & is currently the richest football club in the world doesn't mean that you can buy success by luring the world's best through your chequebook.


Look at Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas. He's currently one of the best midfielders in the world, yet he has not accepted big money offers from Real Madrid or his native Barcelona.

Look at Liverpool's Stevie G -another outstanding player. Why is he still staying at Merseyside Red when Chelsea & Real Madrid were clamouring for his signature few seasons ago. The money that was offered was unbelievable, yet Stevie stayed with Liverpool.


And why is Paul Scholes & Ryan Giggs are still at the very same club since they were 11 years old? Again money is not the issue. It's playing for the RIGHT club.
