Secondo diversi tabloids inglesi il brasiliano Kakà avrebbe concordato i termini di massima per il proprio trasferimento al Man U.; da indiscrezioni si tratterebbe di un quinquiennale da 135mila sterline a settimana. Sarebbe clamoroso se il giocatore si accasasse ai rivali cittadini dopo essere stato ad un passo dall’ approdare al Man City. Proprio un tifoso dei “Citizens” ha polemizzato con il Presidente dell’ Associazione dei calciatori Taylor in quanto riteneva impropria la presenza del giocatore dello United Giggs nella rosa dei sei candidati al premio di migliore giocatore dell’ anno. Mister Gordon Taylor non ha usato mezze parole invitando il tifoso ad “andare in Zimbawe”, dichiarandosi offeso circa le presunte insinuazioni sulla correttezza delle “nominations”. Lampard litiga, invece, pubblicamente con la ex fidanzata  Elen Rives; quest’ ultima lo ha accusato in una intervista di essere senza cuore cosi’ il centrocampista del Chelsea ha risposto in modo piuttosto adirato sempre tramite i mass media.

United in for Milan ace Kaka

MANCHESTER UNITED held talks with Kaka yesterday over a sensational summer move.

“The Brazilian’s representatives met United to discuss personal terms which would total £35million in wages alone.A source close to the AC Milan superstar confirmed: “It was a very positive meeting, although nothing was agreed.“The player wants a five-year contract and wages of £135,000 a week. He is very keen to join United and these are figures that are within United’s pay structure. It’s up to them what happens now.”The talks did not involve any discussion about a transfer fee but Milan expect to get at least £70m for their star player.The big question now is how United will find the cash — and whether they will sell Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer to Real Madrid.Kaka, 27, has already spoken of his affinity for United, saying: “They have some great players in Giggs and Scholes and especially Wayne Rooney.“One of my best friends, Anderson, is also there — how can anyone say no?“They are the English and European champions and a great club to play for.”

Gordon Taylor, the chief executive of the Professional Footballers’ Association, has admitted telling a football fan to “go to Zimbabwe” after being questioned about the fairness of the voting for this season’s player of the year award.Taylor was responding to an email from a Manchester City supporter who felt that Ryan Giggs did not deserve to be among the six candidates. The £1.2m-a-year ­executive became involved in an exchange of emails and became exasperated when it was pointed out that Giggs had started only 12 league games.”I can only tell you the situation as it is,” Taylor wrote to the fan. “If you are not happy and consider yourself such an expert on ballots perhaps you had better go to Zimbabwe or Russia the next time they have elections and tell everybody how they should vote as they put their votes in the ballot box!”His retort could be construed as insensitive, at best, given that voters in Zimbabwe at the last elections were subjected to “systematic torture and beatings”. Taylor, however, was unrepentant when it was put to him that his remarks, published on the Bluemoon fans’ website, had gone down badly. Several fans had accused him of lacking professionalism.”There seems to be a feeling that somebody at the PFA decides the nominations,” Taylor said last night. “There’s not an understanding that these are ballot papers sent to every player. That voting takes place in February and March. One lad kept writing in, so I said if you think you are such an expert, why not go outside a ballot box in Russia or Zimbabwe and tell them how to do it.”Giggs, who could make his 800th appearance for United when they play Tottenham Hotspur today, is the favourite to win the award at tomorrow’s PFA dinner.”
