$120 M Kaka

Football Transfers and economic slump, don't go together i guess. Anyways, there is a talk of Kaka moving to Manchester City, not so successful neighbour of Man U, at a world record fee of $120 m. With this comes the perennial debate that this transfer is the death of football?  Really?

Football has been and will still be the most beautiful sport in the world, no matter what. Doesn't matter if kaka is bought by some club for $120 m or if Messi is bought for $200 m or Ronaldo etc etc,  what is expected from the club and them is, win trophies. Chelsea thought they can do so, but they needed a divine intervention in the form of Mourinho to win silverware inspite of buying $** M players,  maybe the average salary of the bence will be higher than many of the first team players at other small clubs. And Mourinho did not need chelsea to  prove his caliber, he won it with porto.
Coach or Manager builds the team not the money. 
The galacticos, or Arsenal or Man u, Milan, Inter, Barca,  valencia, or for that matter Bulls, lakers, Dalas stars(ice hockey) or Yankees, anywhere in the world its the coach or manager who is sacked first, if the team does not win trophies. If Mancherster city does not win, they won't sack KAKA, its HUGHES who will be given the red card( the PINK SLIP). 

Now from Kaka's point of view: thats his job,  his pay, he wants more money(and may be milan are more desperate for money), its like moving for more salary from TCS to Satyam, a sinking ship( just an analogy). Thats his call, if he likes Milan fans, the way they treat him than he will stay with Milan, else BIG MONEY is calling him. 
We know the FIGO saga with Real Madrid, he is booed everytime he visit's Barcelona. For that matter Ronaldo( Brazil version), Inter and Real. 

Thats why there is only  one who is regarded as GOD in Napoli, or Fiorentina fans woundn't erect a statue to honor Batistuta. You want to be a GOD stay with the club and win trophies for them and with them, thats your call. 
And no player is bigger than a Club or "FOOTBALL".
If Milan has potential to make another Kaka or win trophies without his services they will and i guess they already have won many trophies before Kaka and will do so after him.
