Man City to become Brazil?

[nottibeans]

Kaká Wants Premier League Move
One small step for Kaka, one giant leap for Manchester City...


Goal.com
Robinho said after Brazil's recent 6-2 thumping of Portugal that he would "always help Kaka to overcome Cristiano Ronaldo".

The little attacker also said recently that, "If Kaká or any other great player wants to come [to Manchester City], the door is open."

Now, it's clear that Kaka has been listening to his countryman intently and could consider a move to Eastlands, and said Ronaldo battle would rumble on in Manchester.

The 26-year-old attacking midfielder has his mind firmly on City, even though he's preparing to face Portsmouth in the UEFA Cup on Thursday evening.

Asked about the Premier League by Sky Sports, he replied: "I know it is the best championship in the world. It's tough, but there's big players and I very much like the Premier League.

"So one day - I don't know when - it would be great to play in the Premier League.

"I have a lot of friends who are playing there, so I am watching some games.

"I speak with Robinho and Elano sometimes about Manchester City."

And there's few other sides - even Chelsea are set to be prudent in January - who can pay the kind of mega money that it'll take to land Kaka.

Citizens boss Mark Hughes urged fans to be realistic on Wednesday, but perhaps a swoop for the Milan midfielder isn't so out there after all!




CITY WANT FABIANO - AGENT

Luis Fabiano's agent claims Manchester City are tracking the Sevilla striker.

City look set to invest heavily during the transfer window and at least one striker would appear high on Mark Hughes's wanted list.

The likes of Roque Santa Cruz, Ronaldo and Lukas Podolski have all been strongly linked with January moves to Eastlands and Fabiano is now the latest name tipped to move.

Fabiano, who scored a hat-trick for Brazil against Portugal last week, has scored just three goals for Sevilla this season - but his agent Jose Fuentes claims a host of clubs, including City, are tracking him.

"Manchester City have asked about Fabiano but that is not unique because they are just one of many," Fuentes is quoted as saying in the Daily Star.

"The final decision lays with Seville and I still have to speak to the club's directors."

Another club buying success
:s8:

[Carnage]

Kaka, Robinho, Elano and Fabiano at the same club is mouthwatering.

[Cumzilla]

Kaka, Robinho, Elano and Fabiano at the same club is mouthwatering.

u cant play with mostly attacking players in the BPL or whatever leagues, its suicidal and hughes know that and yesterday i had seen one of the best performaces by city in an away match this season without robinhno, jo and elano...

:s8:

it won't come so soon. they are buying too slowly

[1920_me]

Unfortuantely, dispelling the old myth, Chelsea have shown that money can buy success. More teams would try to do that, rather than slowing building up like Villa are doing.

Ya know wtf ya talking? Chelsea was already in top 4 or top 6 way before Roman Abromovich bought over Chelsea. Chelsea didn't have that kind of $$$ when compared to the likes of Manu/arsenal/liverpool at that time. Roman merely lifted CHelsea to the levels of manu or beyond. It's a matter of time that Chelsea won something.

Man city is entirely a different case. Where is Man city last season? Few seasons back? Have they ever been in the top 4 or 6? If they manage to win trophies, you can say they do buy success.

And which top clubs these days slowly build success? Not Manu, not liverpool, not Arsenal, not RM, not Barca.... Aston Villa? Although their owner is billionaire, the transfer budget of Aston villa dun equate the riches of their owner. If their owner willing to cough up a bigger transfer budget, I'm sure Martin O' Neil won't hesitate to "buy success". Aston villa rank now in top4 is merely because they are rather lucky to be injury free till now having use the same small squad with each game. Any injuries set in and it's for all to see....

[XiaoZuzu]

i watched it too and without doubt,they too can play the game well without the brazilians.

[spykid]

Celsius, why so defensive? :s13:


To be honest, that post of yours is quite rubbish. Read again what you have typed.

I'm out of here :s13:

So you admit that Roman's money did help the club win those trophies.


From 1 League title donkey years ago and suddenly 2 in a row. Not sure what you would call that.

And please don't even suggest "to the levels of Man United or beyond." Try winning a champions league or the league 3 in a row before trying to compare the vast difference in class :s8:


Oh well, like they always say, success is temporary, class is permanent :s7:

[Wryer]

Money can buy success, period. But the injection has to be sustained over a period of at least 2-3 years.

So many clubs have proven that. Just look at the past winners of various major leagues in the past decade. I'm sure the league winner is within the top 3 in terms of players expenditure. There may be a couple of outliers, but the trend is definitely telling. That's just how the industry works.

If Man C can continue spending like they did, within 2-3 seasons, they will be up there.

You mean Glazers money didn't help manu to win trophies? LOL... so where the hag the money comes from? Heaven? Self-sustaining source? Of cos' ya gotta give credit to the owners. And open ur big eyes to read regarding "to the levels and beyond". I'm talking about the spending power here. If ya didn't read clearly, ur colored lens gotta change.

And yes, regarding trying to win the league 3 in a row.... ya' i gotta agree its not easy because manu ain't gotta do that this season to make it 3 in a row. LOLx, that's class for ya.

Sure, they helped, I'm not denying that. But where were they in the 90's? And what did we win during that time?

Of course, it's not easy to win 3 in a row. Go google for the only english club to have ever done it :s7:


And why so confident that we won't win? Because you thought it was never done before? You mean there's a zero, absolute zero percent chance that chelsea, liverpool and arsenal aren't going to fug up during the last month of the season and lose 4 games in a row?

[Asakura]

spykid was fast to leave the thread. he knws it will end up like that. becuz it dragged chelsea into the picture. so the posts will start to go off topic.
glazer's takeover infact, put man utd in large debt (over $850m) and interest (approx £60 million a year).
we were alr successful and what we are today was alr built long be4 glazers came into the picture.

i wun agree with this line
And which top clubs these days slowly build success? Not Manu, not liverpool, not Arsenal.........................

Aston villa rank now in top4 is merely because they are rather lucky to be injury free till now having use the same small squad with each game. Any injuries set in and it's for all to see....

noob.

The Glazers are mostly just in here to make money, the majority of our transfer funds are self-generated(ticket sales, sponsors, prize money etc)

1999. Was the treble winning team backed up by some cash rich oil tycoon? No.

Oh yes, I forgot about Jo too. Although his performances in the Sky Blue shirt has been largely erratic.
Did he even start last night?

[poring24]

benjani is the first choice frontman now and is in good form since returning from injury

[spykid]

Alot of people have this notion that the Glazers are sugar daddies. They haven't got a clue.


Right, i'm out of here again :s13:

[stanlfc]

all American owner is buying the clubs for money

to hell with does American owner fascist hick & geillet and the Glazer they are the one make the premier league look bad...

[Jackson Ng Ghim Pheng]

Injury Prone Ronaldo and Problematic Adraino can join Man City too.

rofl. it seems u do not know martin oneill.

subs for benjani in the last 10mins, not worth the 19mil pounds the club (not mark hughes) had paid from what i seen so far, looks like an adebayor type of player while benjani is more of a stronger frontman whom many city fans have described as 'goater-like', ie, unpredictable and not knowing what he himself is doing in front of goal. Dun think both will figure much in mark hughes plan if he manage to get RTC from blackburn in jan...

[YouYongku]

so which player going man city next?

[InsaneClownPosse]

Nobody says spending money means success, but not spending money definately means no success. Just ask Arsenal.........

P.S Stop being a clown and declare as an arsenal fan. :mad:

Ah Peng, we spent money we earned over the last 2 decades.
Thats the differences between Manchester United and Chelski.

[Carova.]

so... man city to consist of many brazilians... very possible...

[poring24]

Elano on the way out liao....he not starting games and is unhappy

"The Premier League would be a great place to play,"

automatically becomes

"Kaka eyeing City move."
