    :lol:


    Apparently Milan let Manchester City talk to Kaka about a possible contract and City might have proposed 105 million euros (and 15 million euros/year for Kaka).
    If the sum is real it would make him 550 million euros (500£) a week :blink:

    If they really offer that much I don't know how he couldn't leave.

    Edit: I heard 120 million today.

    And City wants to buy Nigel de Jong from Hambourg SV for 16.5 million.

    Bear in mind that this is Kaka, a player who donates a lot of his income to charities. Not that I think it would completely justify those wages but it's something to consider.

    thank god its Kaka then, talk about a way to redistribute income! But yes, i do feel a little better that he donates his money...



    anyway, Leeds have a poor choice in managers, Dennis Wise shouldve stayed...If he did we would be in The Championship right now instead of fucking churning results in League One playing some of the worst football i have ever seen...EVER

    Well Lyon is still number one this weekend...


    1 Olympique Lyonnais 42 +13
    2 FC Girondins de Bordeaux 41 +17
    3 Olympique de Marseille 38 +13
    4 Stade Rennais FC 37 +11
    5 Toulouse FC 37 +8
    6 Paris Saint-Germain 36 +4
    7 LOSC 35 +10
    8 OGC Nice 33 +6

    LOSC 1 - 0 Stade Rennais FC

    :D

    All teams have played 21 games except Lille and Nice.

    This season is impressive (finaly!) because each of these eight teams might finish in the top 3 (although Nice should not hang on ; Toulouse is fifth thanks to Gignac who is the league's best scorer and Paris is doing way better than last years but their manager is about to get fired for financial reasons).

    If City hijack our bid for Arshavin I'll go fucking crazy.

    The funny thing is though is that I refuse to be afraid of them as a team until they replace Mark Hughes with a manager who can actually handle the star players they're signing. It'd be hilarious (and not entirely out of the question) if they did sign Kaka along with Bellamy and De Jong and they got rellegated.

    Mark Hughes shouldve stayed at Blackburn, they were definetly going places with him at the helm.

    I dont think handling the players is a problem, i think its the poor mentality that the board have, spamming a whole load of cash and not allowing the team to gell together properly thats the real problem

    I think Blackburn have missed Bentley quite a lot. Ironically he hasn't been very good for Spurs.

    More content from the 606 board - here's what the EPL table would look like if it showed the gaps between the teams

    Man Utd, Liverpool 47
    46
    Chelsea 45
    Aston Villa 44
    43
    42
    Arsenal 41
    40
    39
    38
    37
    Everton 36
    35
    34
    33
    32
    Wigan 31
    30
    West Ham 29
    28
    Hull 27
    Fulham 26
    Man City 25
    Portsmouth 24
    Bolton, Newcastle, Sunderland 23
    22
    Spurs, Blackburn, Boro, Stoke, WBA 21

    ---

    And here, on the left is how the table order would look if matches were 85 minutes long and on the right is the actual order

    Arsenal_________________Man Utd
    Chelsea ________________Liverpool
    Aston Villa_____________Chelsea
    Liverpool_______________Aston Villa
    Man Utd_________________Arsenal
    Everton_________________Everton
    Hull City_______________Wigan
    Manchester City_________West Ham
    Wigan Athletic__________Hull
    Bolton__________________Fulham
    Fulham__________________Man City
    Newcastle United________Portsmouth
    Sunderland______________Bolton
    Portsmouth______________Newcastle
    West Ham________________Sunderland
    Stoke City______________Tottenham
    West Brom_______________Blackburn
    Middlesbrough___________Middlesbrough
    Blackburn_______________Stoke
    Tottenham Hotspur_______West Brom

    Luke must be a bit annoyed looking at that one.

    I have to admit, even though we already have four or five really good players in that position I'm pretty envious of Spurs signing Palacios.
