Kaka: Manchester City have no idea
City had thought they had clinched a world record £108 million deal for the Brazilian, following negotiations between the two clubs and Kaka's father Bosco Leite. [LNB]However, City's hopes of signing the 26-year-old were dashed when reports emerged that Kaka had rejected the proposal and wanted to remain in Milan. [LNB]This provoked an angry response from City, with executive chairman Garry Cook calling Kaka and Milan "greedy" and "bottlers". [LNB]Cook said: "This [deal] broke down for all the wrong reasons. I think it was a bit too sophisticated for Milan, They bottled it."[LNB]And when asked if Kaka's side had been too greedy, he added: "I felt that was the case. With them it was just all about money."[LNB]Kaka, though, has responded to City's claims, stating that turning down a move to Eastlands was the best decision he could have made. [LNB]He said: "Not even for 30 seconds did I think about going to Manchester City. Milan is my home."[LNB]Italians are viewing Kaka's snub of City as a victory for Milan, and for Serie A over the Premier League. [LNB]QPR owner Flavio Briatore, who has a foot in both camps, believes it was the right decision, and said: "Put [Michael] Schumahcer in a Minardi, he won't go anywhere. [LNB]"Even with Kaka, Manchester City wouldn't have gone anywhere. They were completely mad."[LNB]Italian media are even reporting that Kaka told his Milan team-mates at training that City were clueless. [LNB]Kaka is quoted as saying: "There was a total confusion. Not one of them had a clear idea of what was going on. I have taken a weight off my mind." [LNB]
