Dave,

I agree there’s a very good chance they won’t be relegated. But right now there’s just two points between Man City and the relegation zone. If Kaka joined now, he’d be joining a relegation battle, not a push for Europe.

City are relegation battlers are they?

I would say they are very much a mid table team in the group pushing for 6-9th.

Battlers is being way harsh

You have forgotten one very important matter – the stance of A C Milan on this. They are struggling for cash and €100m may well tempt them, leaving Kaka with the feeling he is no longer wanted there. We all have opionions on the valuation but whether we like it or not money is the most powerful negotiation tool of all.

As they say – watch this space.

I guess Man City just have to build up slowly and go for the medium range players first to build a decent team and pose some threat to the rest of the big guns before making the move for the high profile players like Kaka, to whom money is not everything. Not everyone is prepared to “do a Robinho” as Kaka’s agent Diogo Kotscho said.

Daryl, great post although I question how much this really deals with Football and a business battle-ground.
