dailymail.co.uk— Manchester City is close to pull off the most astonishing transfer coup in soccer history after they offered AC Milan £100million in cash (app. $146,000,000) for Brazilian Kaka. That's $750,000/ week!

I hardly ever actually login to Digg to comment in fear of being dugg down (it's one of my top 5 fears, Apple getting 51% market share being the first) but your ignorance astounded me on a whole new level. Like the posters above have pointed out, whether you like the guy or not, he's done a world of good not only for his foundation but also for many advancements in technology that affect you daily. Go away you troll.
Really I am sorry I believe the last Derby game Inter got their asses handed to them? yeah that did... And no you are not allowed to use Forza and Inter in the same statement... until Inter have an Italian national player in their starting XI you are forbidden for using Forza... Forza Milan and Forza Juve!!! Piss on Inter.
The sole reason why America cannot produce talent is how they treat Football. Their youth systems are incredible for other sports, but Football gets little treatment as a credible spot over there, despite the fact that the entire world plays it.Another major factor is MLS. Splashing out on Beckham just allowed the league to point out its strongest flaws, Americanism. Conferences ruined the game and allowing a special rule just to get Beckham there ruined it even more. That money could've been better spent on building talent at university level and providing key states with their own teams. Now I think the transfer barrier is a fantastic touch (that should be applied worldwide), but I think it should be a US-only rule for now, so that once you're in the MLS you're either sold outside or traded fairly inside. That way MLS could continue to allow clubs to buy young talent and build them up in a nice country.That being said, America has forced its values on the beautiful game and because of that the sheer class of footballers will never be the same. Freddy Adu was a close call, but even he couldn't keep a place at a team like Benfica.

I think he might be looking into the future when AC Milan have like 100+ million to spend and start raiding the premier league

I dont' see how anyone is really suprised, I mean come on, even though Ronaldo's deal came after, the one here, <a class="user" href="http://eurolivesoccer.com/2009/06/tosic-ronaldo-was-always-going-to-leave,">http://eurolivesoccer.com/2009/06/tosic-ronaldo-wa ...</a> both of these deals were in the making. I agree with what people said above, everything comes down to money and if you can afford to buy someone out then do it because that's how society is. Just look all around us!!
