Vote: Was Kaka right to turn down the Man City deal?
Brazilian snubs chance to own rocket car and solid gold house
After hearing the pleas of AC Milan fans and a little voice in the back of his head that said “Don’t chase the money,” Kaka has officially withdrawn from transfer negotiations with Manchester City.
Safe in the comfort of not having to make such a huge decision, both Fernando Torres and David Beckham expressed their doubts about the move this week, and in many ways, they are right. Living up to such a stupendous price tag would put unbelievable strain on the Brazilian, and if the Manchester City revolution doesn’t go according to plan, he could have faced the prospect of plenty of nights watching Champions League football on the TV.
Some, however, would argue that he is a fool for turning down the best wages to play in the best league in the world for a team with lofty ambitions.
So, did Kaka do good or did Kaka do bad? Let us know below…

Figures of fee and salary were never discussed. The talk of £107m was plucked out the sky or at least leaked by Beloscomi’s media companies.
All we knew was that it would have been a world record transfer.
Who’s to know whether or not he should have joined. I am happy for him. He loves Milan and that is great, but he never turned down City. Milan did that by trying to screw us over and good for us that we were not prepared to be taken for a ride.
Best of luck to Kaka and I hope that with the De Jong and Bridge (who are great signings) and Bellamy who is a seasoned pro proven in the Prem (albeit a reasonably uncouth nutter) we will push on, progress in to Europe, qualify for the UEFA next year and press on.
Hopefully now the pathetic press, who seem determined to hope that we, an ambitious club daring to have aspirations of challenging the current world order, fail, can get off our back and let us get on with it.
I for one am fed up with the constant sniping by supposidly ‘informed’ former professionals and idiot lazy journo.

And on what authority do you have this then fourstar.
Of course he’s going to say that his heart is with Milan. He’s staying after all. He’s not an idiot!
The fact is, he never got the opportunity to speak with City representatives because Berlusconi kept on moving the goalposts. We pulled out.
