Manchester City fan isn’t bitter over Brazilian

Shortly after the January transfer window closed on Monday night, Oasis played a concert at the Datchforum in Milan. Consistently outspoken band patriarch Noel Gallagher could have used he opportunity to lambast AC Milan hero Kaka for not joining his beloved Citizens, but the Mancunian chose to take the high road.

Before playing ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’, Gallagher dedicated the song to “Signor Kaka”, making the opening refrain “Don’t you know you might find/ A better place to play” seem all the more pertinent.

The night before the gig, the Britrock legend heaped a huge lump of hindsight on the botched Kaka transfer when speaking to Controcampo:

“Kaka? To me it seemed like pure folly from the outset. Maybe in three years time he will regret not joining Manchester City.”

Spoiler bonus: Noel is very close friends with Alessandro Del Piero. Blink and you’ll miss him in the ‘Lord Don’t Slow Me Down’ video…
