£50mil Player

We are nearly there, the 1st £50mil player.

Who do you think it will be.

Will it be;

Ronaldo.

Messi.

kaka.

Your thoughts please.

Probably Ronaldo when he moves to Madrid - although wasn't Zidane not far off £50 million when they bought him from Juve

Just so long as it isn't Torres to Man City, I don't care!

Wouldn't put it past these pair to do it, and then to blame us all for not buying enough pasties at the ground.

You would have to look at Ronaldo for the first £50M+ player.  Ridiculous though.

We can effectivley rule Kaka out of the aquation as he has said he does'nt ever intend on leaving.

Transfer stories about Kaka have permeated the English and Italian press almost all summer, with Chelsea being the club mainly associated with the Brazilian superstar.

However, since the transfer window closed last week, the 26-year-old has also been heavily linked with Manchester City, who are now the richest club in the world following the takeover by Arab billionaire Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim.

Another club who have tried unsuccessfully in the past to acquire Kaka is Spanish giants Real Madrid, but the Brazilian, who is fast becoming frustrated by all the transfer speculation, has come out an insisted that he will never leave Milan unless the club forced him to go.

“First it was Real Madrid and now it is fashionable to talk about England,” the ex-Sao Paolo man told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“The market goes like that. Milan make offers to other clubs and they make offers to Milan. But I would never ask to leave. I have always been treated well and the relationship is excellent.

“One day people may have a different attitude towards me, but that doesn't seem possible to me. I would only leave if the Rossoneri decided to sell me, or the day that we don't have the same objectives and I don't see that happening."

Kaka has been hampered by constant knee injuries over the past year, eventually having an operation in May, and he has admitted that for a long time he kept playing through the pain barrier.

“I know there is concern over my injury but this story has been running for over a year,” he stated.

“There has always been something that stopped me from listening to my body.

“For example, the knee would hurt but we had a European Super Cup to win, and then I wanted the Ballon d'Or and then the games in Yokohama [in the Club World Cup]. It kept going like that until I had to stop.”

Kaka is hoping to return to action for this weekend’s Serie A trip to the Stadio Ferraris to play Genoa

I think Messi will be the first one and break it convincingly!  I am not sure about Ronaldo at the moment as with the emergence of Man city he may be talked into prelonging his days with Utd. 

Messi. I think the trouble at Barca could force him to look elsewhere. I'm going all out and saying he will move for 70 million pounds give or take 5.

Charles Itandje most likely.

Charles Itandje most likely.

Isn't Traore due for a move?

Yano what, I actually think it will be Gareth Barry, the way MON goes about his business thats the most likely fee he'll go for.

Deffinitelly I think Kaka.

Don't want to spoil the thread, but it will be the 2nd 50million player

No it wont, the world record transfer fee currently stands at £45.6 million and that was Zidane to Madrid.

God get it right Mag :

Mag's got a point.

Zidane was bought for €76 million which was indeed, then, around £45 million.

But now that translates to £62 million.

There's your answer then.  Zidane.

If the next player gets bought by Real Madrid for €70 million Euros in January (about £56 million) we can hardly turn around and say he was the world's most expensive player can we?
