tbh you would be sad if you love the club, but I know for sure if he signs and pulls on that city shirt to run out infront of our fans he will be more than impressed!

Don't be daft! He's sad because he's potentially leaving a club that he really loves, not because he's joining us.
Well my ex-fiancee must have loved the fella she was with before me, as i was dumped for him.
Hope the same does not happen to City.
woman...i`m off to find some drink...

£100m Kaka in tears - Brazilian superstar is in turmoil as he waits for his father to complete
the negotiations over his world record move to Manchester City

Kaka, the 26-year-old, God-fearing superstar at the centre of what would be the biggest football transfer in history, has been reduced to tears as the enormity of the £100million deal that will see him exchange Milan's world-famous San Siro for the rather more prosaic City of Manchester Stadium sinks in.
AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi - Italy's prime minister - appeared last night to pave the way for the world record deal to be rubberstamped tomorrow, when Kaka's father and agent, Bosco Leite, will meet Milan vicepresident Adriano Galliani before discussing personal terms further with City.
The Mail on Sunday understands that a verbal deal has been struck between the clubs, although nothing has been confirmed in writing. But it would take an extraordinarily stubborn streak in Kaka to resist the huge financial momentum behind the move now, despite the bad feeling among AC Milan's supporters and the player's own reluctance to leave the club he regards as family.

* Have faith in us, City urge Kaka: Move is on for Milan ace with God on his side
An AC Milan source said last night: 'Kaka has been in tears three or four times, hugging teammates and staff at our Milanello training ground. It is hardly surprising because AC Milan is his home and he has been here for years. The idea of leaving is already upsetting him. Milan is like a family to him, as it is to all of us.'
Kaka has been at Milan since his move from Sao Paulo in 2003, when he cost the Italian club a little over £6m. The huge profit to be generated by a sale to City's oil-rich Abu Dhabi owners has obvious temptations for Berlusconi, whose club currently operate with debts thought to total around £28m.
But Milan's fiercely partisan fans, particularly the hard-line Ultras, are in no mood to be placated by the loss of one of the world's most gifted young footballers. Last night the San Siro was bracing itself for heated demonstrations after fans had mounted another all-day vigil outside the club's main offices in the city.
The Ultras claimed to have confronted Galliani at 9am yesterday morning and it was clear that there were plans for mass protests during last night's match against Fiorentina.
While Berlusconi has in the past insisted that Kaka was not for sale and would remain a Milan player for life, the prime minister's statements yesterday displayed a somewhat weaker expression of that wish.
Milan fans
Supporters' favourite: Milan fans hold up a sign saying: 'Kaka not for sale'
He said: 'Nothing has been decided yet but it is very difficult to make someone stay after he has seen such a wage on the table. A man who doesn't have a job for life, but whose career is limited to a certain number of years, then suddenly has the chance to have a much bigger income than his current one . . . it would be difficult to say No.
'I cannot raise a wage that is already at maximum level. If so, I would have to raise the wages of all our players, which frankly isn't possible. I hope he stays but let's see.'
Elsewhere, Berlusconi was even quoted giving an explanation of why Kaka would have to go. He is reported to have said: 'There is a credit crunch on. It makes sense to sell Kaka. We will never get another offer like this.'
However, far from rubbing his hands in anticipation of the huge amounts of money that would come his way as part of the deal, the player himself was said to be in turmoil last night.
One of the reasons for his anxiety is that he is a Born Again Christian, who has never been driven by money. Now it is understood he fears he may be portrayed as a football mercenary when, in fact, he never sought this move and has no great desire to join City.
Indeed, it is understood that his representatives have already negotiated an escape clause in his City contract that would enable him to leave Eastlands for £60m after one year if any of the conditions of him signing are not met.
Those conditions are understood to relate to City's Premier League position at the halfway point next season. Kaka would need to know that there is a strong likelihood that he can return to Champions League football in time for the 2010-2011 season.
A further condition is understood to be that the Abu Dhabi group, led by Sheik Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, are still in control of the club and pumping similar amounts of money into their dream of European football domination.
Ancelotti
AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelloti is desperate to hang on to playmaker Kaka
For all those provisos, the fact remains that Kaka would still prefer to join an established European giant such as Real Madrid if the time has really come for him to leave the San Siro. Despite his close relationship with AC Milan, Kaka is understood to have wanted to join Real Madrid during two years ago when Fabio Capello was at the helm.
Real could yet mount a rival bid to City's, but only if Kaka and his camp opt to play for time. Ramon Calderon has just resigned as Real Madrid president and the man who will probably take over, Florentino Peres, wants to return to the post he used to call his own by capturing one of the world's greatest players.
Back in Manchester, City manager Mark Hughes attempted last night to inject a cautionary note into the gathering frenzy over Kaka, claiming it was 'too early' to assume the deal would go through.
Hughes did his best to dampen expectations after City's 1-0 win against Wigan yesterday, insisting that negotiations with the player were still at an early stage.
'I would love to work with such a talented footballer,' said Hughes.
'But these discussions are at an early stage.
Kaka of AC Milan
AC Milan's Kaka celebrates a win with considerable religious zeal
'When you have a special player like this, it's not a simple case of talking to the player and the club and sorting everything out in 24 hours. It's very complex.
'We will continue for as long as it takes, although clearly there is a deadline at the end of the month if we want him this season.'
Hughes expects to be among City officials who meet Kaka's father this week. 'I believe that will happen in the next few days,' said Hughes.
'Clearly we need to offer a financial package to make the deal happen, but we'll also try to pitch to him that the most compelling reason for him to come to Manchester City is to be at the start of something that will be very special.'
Last night, another man who can fairly claim to have been something very special, David Beckham, found his home debut for AC Milan - played in front of England boss Capello's assistant, Franco Baldini - turned into little more than a sideshow by the furore over Kaka.
The Brazilian's future has taken centre stage now. And, despite Hughes's calming protestations, it could yet be resolved within the next 24 hours.
