Managers are often complaining about the transfer window but I love it and I think most football fans would agree. It's always fun to see all the rumours in the papers, most of which turn out to be untrue and some of which are absolutely ridiculous. I've been excited about this transfer window since the day Manchester City got taken over by ADUG and showed their intent to splash the cash by signing Robinho, outbidding Chelsea in the process. They achieved that all in one day, now they have a full month to throw their money around. I was a bit disappointed to begin with as they were only linked with players like Craig Bellamy (no offence Craig but you're not exactly a marquee signing). But finally things have got interesting and City have made an audacious bid to sign Kaka, agreeing a fee reported to be over £100million with AC Milan. The only problem now is convincing him to come. City are hoping a wage of £500,000 a week will do the trick but I'd be very surprised if he goes. Let's be honest, he's not doing too badly for himself financially at Milan and it's clear from his quotes this week about wanting to grow old there that he loves the club. He's well known for his strong religious faith which would suggest he is motivated by more than just money. He has stuck with Milan through some difficult recent times such as the match fixing scandal and their failure to qualify for this season's Champions League. City might be ambitious but they probably won't even be in Europe next season whereas Milan are once again challenging near the top of Serie A so why would he want to leave? Then again, who could turn down £500,000 a week. Just to add, I can't go along with those who seem to think Kaka moving for such a huge fee will be the end of the game as we know it. It was only a few years ago that Chelsea got rich and the death of the game was predicted then too. Although they have been pretty successful they haven't won the league in the last two years and haven't won the Champions League. Even if City have all the money in the world they can still only put eleven players on the pitch so there is no guarantee they will become the dominant force.
