80 mill?

I merged Tri-Blue's thread with this existing Kaká rumour thread.

What would the "Lamps bashers" learn from this ?

That at the end of the day, kaka doesn't want to leave milan, nor does milan want to sell kaka, it's just the agent trying to cough up a big contract for kaka and inturn get a hefty commission..

just as in the case of lampard..

Chelsea’s Going to Buy the World!

Slowly but surely the season is approaching. But not soon enough for my liking. Yes I have the Red Sox, whom are my first love. Yes the Patriots will be reporting to training camp soon, and the return of American football is always a wonderful thing. Yes the MLS and the USL are currently playing, but my Saturday and Sunday morning needs Premier League football. The good thing about this time of year is that the transfer window usually starts to get a little more busy. And Chelsea are not just staying behind the scenes, the headlines dealing with Chelsea are numerous.

• From the possibility of Chelsea brining in Kaka for a world-record €100m (£79.3m). To Milan wasting to time to come right back out and announce that Kaka would be going no where, or at least not for that “little”. Oh but it does not stop there. Kaka’s handlers have come out and said that not only is the move a possibility, but a definite. In their own words, a “deal will definitely happen.” Not that saying this is ground breaking or news to anyone, but bringing Kaka to Chelsea would be the greatest move the club has ever made. Yes the money is ridiculous. But for Chelsea, money is nothing. And if Roman is willing to pony up for someone of Kaka’s ilk, I love the idea and I need it to happen.

• But the stories are not only about the possibility of players coming in. Now Drogba is back in the news due to him being left behind as Chelsea fly out for their preseason tour of Asia. It would seem that it’s all but settled he’ll be leaving the club this summer. My thoughts on Drogba leaving are no secret, I want him to. After what happened in the Champions League final, I have no time for him. He showed himself to only be worried about — well — himself. And not to give a shit about what position he put Chelsea Football Club or his teammates in.

• Yesterday I read that according to his agents, Chelsea have also put in a £31.75m bid for Robinho. Of course every Brazilian will be linked with Chelsea due to Scolari but this is one I wouldn’t mind see come through as well. He’s young (24), skilled, and would no doubt help in brining some more attacking football to Stamford Bridge.

• And of course, Frank Lampard. With whom I just cannot be botherd to talk about again. http://theshedend.org/?p=14

Things are changing at Chelsea. Just how much is yet to be seen, but will be interesting to continue watching.

Kenyon confirmed this morning that we have NOT made a bid for Kaka..

[BlueLion. 21,491]

To some extent, I am happy. Don't get me wrong, Kaka is a good player. A very good player. Or so the myth says. The truth is that he is very inconsistent in Serie A, and seems to only perform in European matches. £80 million for one player would put an unbarable weight of expectation on his shoulders, so much so it will be like Shevchenko, and we'll be catering for a ghost player. I love Kaka and think he is one of the best players in Europe at the moment, but such a move and such a price tag will surely be nothing but a burden. I'd be all for the move, but not for that amount of money. No player is worth that.

[EskWeston 696]

The monies mentioned was ridiculous, but Kaka is one hell of a player. My concern would have been where do we fit him in our team! We have more than enough world class players there already - it never made sense to me.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Where does he fit into a midfield that has Essien, Ballack, Lampard, Deco and Mikel? At this moment in time, Ballack is on top of his game and I would not swap him for anyone.

[Kez 2,727]

Would be my dream signing but we have to think logically about it, I wouldn't like to see us bid 80 million for any player it's ridiculous

What would the transfer fee be next? It keeps going up.

[Kez 2,727]

This is just getting ridiculous
