The biggest transfer ever?!?

If Kaka goes to Manchester City, it will shatter the world transfer record. £107m I think it would be great to see Kaka play in the Championship League next year

World's most obvious joke alert

If someone's willing to pay that much for kaka I'm going to go fill a bag up with it right now.

The previous transfer fee record belongs to that douchebag Zidane, correct?

Yup, he's actually not too bad. He's done a lot of charity work and work with kids promoting soccer. That headbutt was crazy though...

Headbutting Materazzi = awesome, not douchebag.

City's overbearing owners are setting themselves up for an overloaded payroll that they still won't win with.

I'm gonna enjoy it when they lose interest in the team and try to sell it off and have problems since the payroll is a bloated horse.

There've been a lot of crazy numbers thrown around. We'll see if this actually happens.

These owners are going to set a crazy precedent. I bet C Ronaldo's fee will clear Kaka's by ten million pounds minimum.

Not unless Man City is buying him, and I can't see Ronaldo leaving for Man City.

No, that will never happen. Word on the street is that he is going to Real Madrid in the summer and that the deal is already done...

Yeah, calling someone's sister a whore = harsh, headbutting the guy for it = more harsh.
