Summer Mercato 2011
Have you heard the rumor that Kaka's mother said on her twitter that Kaka is moving to London next season?

I am not super excited that he may or may not come back. I just think that it is time to move on, but if he comes back, I wouldn't mind, as long as he accepts a large pay cut. I think one Ibrahimovic is already too much (wage-wise).
Kaka to chelsea? That'd be good for him and chelsea if he could regain form. Have to admit, counter attacking league is pretty much the MOto him succeeding. Berkamp-esque role (second striker... always been his nest anyway)

-----------------Torres
------------------Kaka
Malouda--Lampard--Essien--Ramires
Cole---D.Luiz---Terry---Bosingwa
-------------------Cech--------------

or maybe

-----------Torres
-----MAlouda--Kaka
Lampard--Essien--Ramires
Cole--D.Luiz--Terry--Bosingwa

If kaka regains form it's exactly what they need. A non-winger, non CF attacker.

The second formation is what i always wanted us to pursue post 2007 ucl. A player like ribery/robben....winger/AM/forward type. But alas, no point living in the past.
Kaka will still be good for us, not as good as before but with ibra,robinho,pato,cassano as options around him as a pose to gilardino and a young pato and sometimes injured inzaghi and a useless boriello we have much much better options he wont have to do what heused to aka play the attack like a fiddle on his own and make two of premier leagues best defenders of man us back line fall over each other and help us winn the cl title. thats not needed of him, he still has the passing and beautiful curving shots that barely miss the net, he's what we need. id see him though now as more of a seedorf replacement. if we get kaka and hernanes for cm we can also rotate kaka with hernanes.. we have more options then just buying a hot shot like pastore/ganso/marcelinho who will reach who knows what levels .. as long as we have a team that can win titles.. lets not forget none of pastore ganso or marcelinho (actually maybe pastore because his seria a experience) will have a huge impact in the first season-two. they first need a season to develop the necceceties, sort of like took a while for pato to gain muscle,ganso will go through the same cycle, kaka seemed to get some muscle weight on him to from his development stage with us, a year at most for them to develop more strenght, of course theyll play but that will be their main training imo along with gaining the seria a experience. pastore still has to undergo some of that but it seems even lanky as he is puts up well with the challenges and strenght in seria a.. him and ganso however are two different individuals.. pastore is more like the type of player to run with the ball and make the killer pass, ganso strikes me as more of a playmaker type rather then counterattacking cam, aka sort of the effect youd get from putting a winger like roben in the cam position, it would work because youd get alot of runs in the box from him with a quick pass, ganso is more of a classic cam, he lets the ball run to his team mates, killer passes from distance the ability to skip by a player and handle give and go's great. kaka had both of these, this is why they will both be world class, once you have one and you work on the other players like them to can be sculpted into mega stars, cams like pastore maybe more eye appealing ,but ganso will do the job just as well in his own style, it hink they will both be a big boost for the CL either one, even kaka.

wow long post hopefully most of you read it and disagree or agreeTongue

Didn´t know France was lacking talent at AMD. Btw, and a little off topic, how is the quotas at France youth NT´s reverberating? Saw this yesterday at TV...

Regarding Nasri, thats what worries me when I read a rumor of a Brazilian #10 linked with EPL teams. But to be fair, his improvment this season was amazing.

Well, this whole story about quotas is simply the reflect of how the French society turns ... Of course, it goes against law (a national sports federation, or any association anyway, can't even think about quotas, as when you create an association, you have to write some official paper in which you put the way the association works, and its goal, and in this goal, it is written that no discrimination can be used), but the French equivalent of fascists has become stronger and stronger in politics (in one year, we will elect a new president, they won't win, but there could be some unfortunate surprise), so it's not really surprising to see such a discussion in an official and national federation ...

Laurent Blanc won't have problems, he apologized to have participated to the meeting and didn't know it would be discussed, but some official should be punished and banned from FFF. France has become a joke in football since 2006.
One should not speak ill of the dead.
So stop laughing at Juventus !
I read somewhere else that even Taiwo gets a French passport, he won't count as EU citizen in Italy. Seems like Galliani won't let the almost done and nice deal fall apart on Taiwo. Now we all count on the other non-EU spot granted by Lega Calcio or another Boateng model. It's unlikely Ganso will arrive with that model though possible for Lamela or Lucas. Btw how much Milan paid to Portsmouth in total? It sounded like Genoa paid 7m and give half to Milan by trade, then Milan will pay 7m for the other half?
Once again, another stupid rule from the Serie A high power.
Our old friend Mancini says he's ready to find room for Ibra.

Just read what Goal.com reported on the Financial Fair Play.
Personally, as long as the owner can pay its way out, there will always be overspending clubs like ManCity.
I think for the most part, it will help clubs/owners without running into debt, but as of this moment I really see the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer with these rules.
can we sell pato for 45m, let pirlo go, and sign in ganso and neymar instead of the two? Just saying.... fed up of Pato's inconsistency. Can't depend on the kid... He's a total different player than the 17 year old we signed.. that kid was so strong mentally and was ready to carry us even when we had Kaka and Ronaldo in the team... now he's just a tall muscular chicken that can't handle pressure... yeah he's going to be a great, but we aren't arsenal, we want great players nowww not in 3 years.... Pato's problem is not talent, but he is weak mentally... reminds me of Gilardino these days.
More comments on the FFP. I think we will see more players from all over the world. A place like Japan will be gold for a lot of teams.
I certainly see a lot of smaller teams becoming feeder clubs for major teams as that's how these small clubs can balance its sheet. As for the big clubs, the owner/s will eventually pump in more money to buy SHARES. Clubs will get tons of sponsorship money from companies that had no need for marketing on a Football team.
Team Kits will become a walking billboard.
There is actually a movie call Big Shot's Funeral. Starting Donald Sutherland as like a huge Director but apparently is going to die in China soon(but thats not really the case). Sutherland somehow thought planning his funeral can make huge money and it started with bidding for his funeral board casting rights, then bidding for commercials slots, areas, clothes, musics...sponsorship from everyone and anyone..... I really see that happening to clubs after the FFP kicks in.
