Why assume that the other positions are not being sorted out as we speak? EVERYONE knows we need two CBs, a DM, and a long-term replacement for Petrov. Kaka will give us what a Mourinho might give us, critical mass, or momentum sufficient to overcome our inertia (or what have you). If the connection between Villa and Kaka is legit, if we sign Kaka, Villa will follow, and in short order a lot of players will start to put pressure on their clubs to play nice with offers City have already made, or are about to. Given that ADUG managed to get City and Robinho, without ANYONE knowing what was going on, we might be assuming too little when it comes to the games these Arabs play.
