The insanity continues...will the citizens really snag Kaka?

The latest news in the transfer market is that Manchester City's on again, off again flirtation with Kaka is back on. The sums being discussed are completely outrageous - over 100m pounds in transfer fees for the Brazilian, which would completely eclipse the previous record of 46m pounds for Zidane when he went from Juventus to Real Madrid. This is completely and utterly ridiculous. What is happening to the transfer market when we can talk about over 100million pound fees, not including whatever fees City will have to pay for Kaka.

What happens if the sugar daddies of Manchester City decide to walk away from the club? If you cannot sustain your team thru you every day business operations, can you really expect sustainable success? Someone needs to bring some semblance of financial sanity to world football.
