Given the fact that I live about an hour from Chicago, you can definitely count me in.

5 Ronaldinho Gaucho
500 Ferrari 599 GTB as Cristiano Ronaldo destroyed
11,2 milioni di Bibles
16,8 milioni pampers for Kaką's son
3,3 milioni Manchester City official jersey

The money is utterly ridiculous and bad for the game. They've upped their offer so high now that apparently Milan would like it, just down to terms with Kaka. I'm sure that boy's between a rock and a hard place, 240 mil for the club he loves? If he goes he's a (an even bigger) club legend, if he stays there will always be that spectre of the money that's not there hanging over his head. If he goes well, he's at Manchester City. Poor guy, horrible thing that couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

No, I'd love to see him here if he's still fit to run around!

I say that it's too much money, Kaką is a great player and very fit. But why City and not R.Madrid ? H ecan decide where to go if he leaves, nowdays it's players that decide I believ.

******A contest A contest A khaaaaantest************************
thank you james tiberius.and Aldukey for such an Idea
So my team has started their practizin' for the up and coming season. 10 games, Win loose or draw in these matches. Looks like we're going to have a pretty decent squad. I've never played with any of these people before, and in a brand new division, with teams I've never played against. For a 5er of stogies, What will our record be? 1-8-1?
for the first tie breaker how many goals will I score? 0? 1? 5?* for the second tie breaker how many goals will my defense allow all season?
*the past 2 seasons I've been more like Jamie carragher (NO, NOT AGAINST SPURS) than Vidic, but scored twice in 2 seasons, a 25 yard volley, and a header off a corner. (If I score 10 goals this season, city will offer me 100 million)

no, but I heard that City bought Bellamy and agreed with HSV about Nigel de Jong over a transfer, De Jong has to negotiate with City though.

Mr.Italy 09:14 AM 01-19-2009
City is going to be the new Chelsea, money money will bring players up there but to win and be a team you need time.
Any special story why arabs bought City?

Of course yes, but now it seems that Abramovich wants to leave ( news in Italy) so who will take care of them ( MONEY )? The tradition in a team is important anyhow just got nes that Kaką refused the offer of the city!
Woah unbelievable, all that money and he said no...I want a big team. The arabs will be very upset I believe.

well, they are cutting in the costs, Ballack's new contract is considerably lower then his current one and that happens everywhere. Benitez wants new players at Liverpool but the board vetoed it and said to sell first to be able to pay for new transfers. Manchester United only ivested in two youngsters. The credit crunch will be good for football, the market will cool down a bit.
