Ok - more for the ones who want to read this - I have nothing to say to the others!
Cooke has been sanctioned to increase our cash offer but not increase the budget put aside for personal terms.
The board are convinced that Milan cannot turn down such a strong offer and are shocked that any club is turning their noses at 100M!
Call ended 20 minutes ago and Cooke was unaware of the 'statements' Kaka has made until the board told him what they where getting from Rueters!
I repeat - the Club is doing everything possible to land him - but I tell you something else:
IF we don't land him we will land a BIG one - I have always said that club wants at least one BIG name and you should be happy in the simple fact that they have shown their committment to the club and fans with today's actions.
I am not going to defend my self - I have quoted what I know and have quoted these things way before the 'press' - I know who I am and what I am - and I am not a WUM..
The Reuters connection doesn't seem correct. As far as I can see (and I have scanned my Reuters terminal) the story on the Reuters was after the news broke elsewhere (such as bluemoon!!!!) and also contains a guarded;
Kaka told Sport Mediaset he was happy at the San Siro but it was not clear when the interview took place.
"I want to grow old at Milan," he said, without clarifying whether he was referring to the City reports.
Story ID is QnLE73528...there was a prior headline but that contained no supposed Kaka quotes
